are they the same as itchycoos ?
I think so..the definition of cockle burr is:any coarse weed of the genus Xanthium having spiny burrs..so I reckon it’s the same annoying wee bugger that tickles yer legs..or worse if ye’re sitting down on it. :wink:

losing my bank card
Right..it’s time to take positive action in the form of..VELCRO.
Simply VELCRO all your clothing with the hooked side of the VELCRO and VELCRO your bank card/mobile phone/spectacles/chocolate eclairs with the loop side of the VELCRO. Then stick ’em together
Problem sorted.THE HISTORY OF VELCRO
The idea of VELCRO® originally came from the Cocklebur.In 1941, a Swiss inventor named George de Mestral noticed a Cocklebur that had become attached to his dog’s fur whilst they were out walking. It took him the next decade to find the suitable materials and machinery that would produce the best and most consistant results.
The name VELCRO® comes from the first syllables of the French words velours (loop) and crochet (hook). Since the company’s official inception in 1959, VELCRO® has launched an extensive range of hook and loop fastening products.
VELCRO® Today
Today, VELCRO® brand products are part of our everyday life, offering practical, versatile, convenient and safe non-permanent fastening solutions in the home and garden, schools, offices, the travel and leisure industry and the manufacturing and industrial sectors.@woohoo wrote:
I can see a hand.. STOP.. Think the bloke next to me has Pi.ssed himself.. :shock:
The girl in the middle thinks it’s funny, and the first lass.. Well.. If she was pregnant, judging by the look on her face, i’d say she was about to go into labour.. :roll:
Actually..that’s Ruby in the pink hairband..cursing and swearing that it’s the last time she uses a home-perm; Shazza’a on the left, hysterical coz she’s just realised this goes up and down and not in and out; and I’m the one in the middle..laffin at their discomfort although that came to an abrupt halt when I got back to the B&B and discovered that too many rum-magnums had turned me not only brown..but Caribbean. :roll:

So it was shame that made him do it? He didn’t want them finding out what kind of fake he really was. The act of a coward then.
I could understand it if he was derranged with grief etc., but this sounds cold and calculating.
Not to me it doesn’t..more the act of of someone trapped and despairing, and as PB intimated, someone who couldn’t bear the thought of leaving his wife and child behind to face the music and end up in penury.
We none of us know, so is there the slightest possible chance that we don’t use this tragedy to play bat and ball with? This whole blame game gets tedious after a while.@woohoo wrote:
