I’ve lead several over £20,000,000 projects as Engineering Manager

In that case, it’s probably especially important to maintain a practice of humility and remembering what it’s like to be at the bottom. They say (and studies show) power corrupts… and, as Spiderman says, with great power comes great responsibility. Gotta be extra careful to avoid bad habits.

Ooh that’s harsh.

But you have Nellie the Elephant in charge and who knows where that will lead us all to.

I’ll just rest my brain-damaged head for a few hours.

Bye. And kisses.

Forgive my ignorance, but who is Nellie the Elephant?

Beats me… I myself am also at a loss of any significance associated with that ’statement’ made by Tom Tom.
BUT…… fwiw……I did find a picture of “Nellie”. :person_facepalming:

I hadn’t heard of this before either, but wikipedia has some info. It seems to be a song which played on BBC radio in the 1950s and 1960s. It lists this for lyrics:

@chorus

Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk

And said goodbye to the circus

Off she went with a trumpety-trump

Trump, trump, trump

FFS Nellie is trumpety trump.

Here’s a vid:

I’m surprised I needed to mention this.

It’s a bit laughable in most regions, we like dumbo too who can fly with his ears.

[cabfrank]

Well, if nothing else, she looks like someone my niece would be fond of.

Too funny
This is what happens to threads when the waiting is too long for our torches

As far as I know, Toy Keeper isn’t from the United States. Maybe I’m wrong.

Which is why your comment didn’t make sense.

I asked to be added to the list for one at post #1970.
Checking back in 5 months later to say I’m still interested in one.
Thanks

LOL, just let them UK/Common Wealth folks call themselves names among each other, they will be juuuuust fine! :partying_face: :+1:

(lived in England for a while with two irishmen, one catholic from Dublin, one protestant from Belfast, have learned a few words that I was never taught in English class.)

Despite being 1/4 Welsh (my middle name is Wynne) to my shame I don’t speak the lingo. The UK is really quite a diverse country with several languages. English being the common denominator, which helps.

Swearing and cursing is fairly universal though, even if we don’t quite understand each other the meaning gets across…

Well, I know of a few stand-up comedians across the big pond. If you could filter out all the rude words from their shows, you would be looking for a stand-in comedian to fill the time after the break.

Edit: I do enjoy watching “A night at the Apollo”.

Suddenly I have seven Rude points.

Perhaps some don’t get satire, it’s not as if I burned the flag, just jested a bit about the POTUS.

Ah well.

I joined BLF for this. 1 for me please.

It is well known that satire is not understood by everyone, and on the internet you are in fact talking to everyone. So part of your communication arsenal, however fun and harmless, may better be reserved for one’s own friends/part of the world. Or else live with a couple of rude points every now and then

Don’t quit your day job. It sounds pretty lucrative even with the brain damage.

There’s no need for jabs at each other.

Thanks for confirming I’m on the list
I did try to find my name without success, that’s why
I mentioned it again on here.
Thanks again!
