Why should it be a girl's name?

How about Sydney [as in 'hissing Sid'!!!] or even 'Elvis'!!!

Food for thought!

Thank you for contributing suggestions........... Bertha is a bit, well, brutal?? Hissing Sid is not a name to love, Henry - and I want a girlie name please!!! Elvis is banned in this house - and I would have to be in a very dark place to be able to tell you why.

 

It may have to wait until I hold it - although a little voice is murmuring Saucy Sal!!! To take that to another level........I can hear someone singing "Sally....Sally!" Does that date me? :roflmho:

Given Henry's recent escapades hob-nobbing (as it were) with the aristocracy and the society osteopath, how about Christine or Mandy?

OK, Troglokev, although I would be the first to admit that I am an anachronism, I do think that harping back to the 'Profumo Affair' in 1962/3 and the fall of the Macmillan government, I think that Christine and Mandy don't really sound like snakes somehow!!!

Jeremy Clarkson's people are looking into it for me though!

Isn't there a character [elfin like I think!] in the Harry Potter Stories called 'Slitherin' or something like that!!!?

But I will let you know what JC thinks when he gets back to me,OK?

PS. I am referring to Jeremy Clarkson BTW, not the other one, AKA, JC!!!

The Denning Report was one of the more entertaining reads, I'd have to say. Much better than the Starr report, which was disappointingly tepid by comparison.

 

The snake in Harry Potter was Nagini. (Slytherin was one of the Houses, and there was a Basilisk there, somewhere, as I recall)

 

How about Jörmungandr, if you want an impressively snakey name?

You'd better ask Chris about that!

I still think that 'Slitherin' sounds about right for a snake!!!

Good Morning all! The Nurse will be around with the meds and the electric treatment directly!!

 

I think "Slitherin' Sally" will do nicely, at least until she arrives........... rumor has it that she is having a nose job first before taking off into the wide blue yonder heading for the Roaring Forties!!

Here it is wide black skies and horizontal rain........ again :crybaby:. :roflmho:

 

It will be a race - Kevin and Jasmin versus Slitherin' Sally and a mystery companion reaching home first...........somehow I think photos of the first will appear here before mine do.

Reprieve, I stopped off at another thread on my way to his one, and couldn't help but notice your Nakaya Piccolo pen in blue and silver finish, I know that this might sound like a stupid question, but who made this pen?

The name Nakaya sounds as though it is a Japenese make, but Piccolo rather implies Italian manufacture.

I take it, it is a fountain pen? Could you show it opened please?

I thiunk it quite rightly causes some 'Oooooh's, and Aaaaarh's' in the right circles!

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
