you bought an old statue of a lady clutching her robe, unsuccessfully, round her bosom, what would you actually do with it when you got home? confused I paid eighteen quid for it. (I did knock seller down from twenty, so that's alright. hmm)

And, a tabletop chiminea? At 32 cms high it's too big to put on the table, and you couldn't have a little fire in it in the dining room - could you?

And then there's the garden gnome holding a notice in front of his cross looking self, saying,"GO AWAY". Why did I buy that? confused

What happens to brains on holiday?

j04 Thu 05-Jul-12 12:25:51

I was only joking anyway.

Anagram Thu 05-Jul-12 12:08:59

j04 Thu 05-Jul-12 11:56:40

j04 Thu 05-Jul-12 11:55:54

they don't let you link to anything on that forum. If you copy and paste that it takes you to the page.

if you haven't totally given up the will to go on grin

Blimey! I just googled it and got a very male site which made me blush

jeni Respect! You certainly know what's what! grin

j04 Thu 05-Jul-12 10:40:23

Oh my link didn't go to the picture, did it?! confused

No wonder you wondered what I was on about! grin

Yes. That's right (yours)

But I've got to have another go! The gardening will have to wait a few minutes.

Anagram Thu 05-Jul-12 10:28:52

They will all be talking about the Romans. [NSS] smile

j04 Thu 05-Jul-12 09:49:33

Anagram It was the only place I could find a pic of the fresco. They wouldn't let me see it without signing up.

It's ok. Could be interesting. smile

Anagram Wed 04-Jul-12 23:12:34

confused
What use is a forum page?
hmm

j04 Wed 04-Jul-12 22:36:02

He is a guardian of gardens. btw.

I joined that Roman research forum to get this. confused

j04 Wed 04-Jul-12 22:34:54

j04 Wed 04-Jul-12 22:33:26

Sigh.

Anagram Wed 04-Jul-12 22:08:44

Nope! Mine still says 'Did you mean bivariate?'. confused

Goodnight!

jeni Wed 04-Jul-12 22:02:40

My google found it. Perhaps you have a prudish computer? Goodnight and thanks to all for the funsmile

I still want my statue!

Anagram Wed 04-Jul-12 21:59:54

jeni I've told you, Google doesn't recognise 'bipriate', Priapus or otherwise! You try it! I'm past caring - I think I've seen enough of them for one night! grin

jeni Wed 04-Jul-12 21:58:50

Well folks. I'm to bed
Fourth and last day at work tomorrow!
I keep saying I'm only going to do three! But!

I still haven't found my version of a garden gnomesad

jeni Wed 04-Jul-12 21:53:09

Yes. In fact I used to have one. The caduceus is international.
Aescalaepius is the title of my universities annual magazine.

johanna Wed 04-Jul-12 21:44:15

Jeni, in Holland the doctors have a badge of the Staff of Aesculapius on their
windscreen!
I think that is nicer than Doctor on Call, don't you?

jeni Wed 04-Jul-12 21:35:04

jacey didn't you appreciate his perfect proportions?

jeni Wed 04-Jul-12 21:33:42

Should have been SORRY
