A friend of mine had a Princess with twin screws. On his first ride, they both fell off.

Would that be cabins crews or flight decks crews?

Thread drift I fear but it occurred to me whist out on my daily constitutional that if, while driving around the red light district, the two sons of elderly monarchs picked up a not very tall young girl for nefarious purposes, the description of this could be referred to as ‘A short tail of two heirs cruise’.

Found an interesting screw recently; sadly turned out to be self-tapping.

Not a mention of left hand threads.
Thats because we never use the expression. In The Trade they are known as "English Thread".

Really.

I don't know why.

I can and will post a picture of the screw in question. It's sort of golden colour and missing the head. See below. Sorry for the semi-erectile position !

Catalonian Hedge Shrew. Its mating season is June to September.
I wonder if the Catalonian Hedge Shrew is at all related to the North American Catatonic Mother-In-Law?

However, one difference is that the NACMIL's mating season never happens. Never. At least according to the North American Father-In-Law Poor Slob.

Does the Catalonian Hedge Shrew also suffer from verbal diarrhea? Has its' gums been observed flapping around its oral orifice emanating lots of banalities, innuendo, lies, exaggerations and general b.s.? Does the Catalonian Hedge Shrew sing a tune sounding with sounds similar to nails on a chalkboard?

Inquiring minds want to know!!!

(PS: Do you think there might be some passing Germans around who could flatten said North American Catatonic Mother-Out-Law? Please?)

A proper screw is very uplifting...





I know Old Photo Fanatic mentioned it, but a picture is worth a thousand sound bytes

It's Connecti-crap, Mike X, Connecti-crap.

Or, colloquially: Connect-The-Crap.

I know. Just screwing with you. If I could catch fish without dynamite, but then again, this is a thread so we're all screwed.
