If you have the skill to have painted your avatar, @chinacat, who needs to be able to do tech art?
That's for lesser mortals.
Meanwhile the laughs here have spread to other threads. I am still chuckling at this one, imagining a collective response of, "Woooahhh...Far out..." resulting from a spiked botafumerio.

I guess it’s a tongue-twister, but it could have been a lot worse if including the special Nordic letters Æ, Ø and Å (yes, we have 28 letters in our alphabet). But I also answer to the name Steen (pronounced ‘steen’), that’s my first name

Oh I’m working my way through! I used to have a friend at work who called me “donkey”!
Another asked me why? I replied...he aw he aw he always calls me donkey!
Still on the elephants and red socks! Some hits and some misses but I’ve had to breathe into a brown paper bags a couple of times!

I'd say @Bristle boy is a nice addition to this thread and he's giving me quite few chuckles!

Welcome to this goofy corner of the Forum, @Bristle boy . You fit right in.
Nothing is so serious that we can giggle at it. Light relief for a too-serious world.
Darn. I missed them.
That's the best way to walk down a steep hill. Seriously. And it entertains your fellow pilgrims, which is always a good thing.

Hi guys,
Back again...this thread has been so enjoyable (Elephants,socks,giraffes and cherry trees withstanding)!
It is a bit of an antidote to life...and not to be taken so seriously!
First Camino next year...a milestone in life and an opportunity to show my boys that their dad can put one step in front of the other without falling over...well not very often anyway!
If only that, but important for the company I will be keeping! A meeting, ironically, on this forum and has proved to be an absolute joy!
So there is an importance to this forum and a camaraderie that is so valued...not only for the information (massive) but the people you encounter!
To Sabine, my fault! It was only a juxtaposition that I felt humorous so no need to feel guilty..I have broad shoulders...and an unerring ability to hijack threads without realising! Mea culpa!
End of anything remotely serious...back to the elephants guys!!!!

You could try, but that'd be impossible here, @Bristle boy . This thread is just silly stream of collective consciousness, going no-where in particular. No worries.

It sure is, Bristle boy. A totally compliment. Did you read the whole shebang in one go? And I am so relieved I found your question when I had to run here looking for safety in this crazy thread after being totally bamboozled (don’t you love that word?) by the scientists and eggsperts on another thread. Time to quit, sign off, seek elusive sleep!

I’m able to confuse as never belonged to a forum before and got a bit lost at first! There’s no doubt I might do on my Camino Magna!
Never mind...might have to find the thread with “walkers with no sense of direction”
Still you might have a year of me to go...and your assistance will be more valuable than mine...or we will all end up confused and lost!
At least I have passable Spanish and a bit better French to fall back on!
So if you see a guy fighting waiters...it’s me with my mangled Spanish!

No harm done at all.
The moderators here do a pretty well job organising this forum and keeping everyone in line.
With such a diverse group of people it makes sense we have to be aware of cultural and age related differences .
Now ...go back to reading this thread thoroughly...we will organise a written revision test after schoolbreak.
Everyone passes by the way...

And some of us just get lost.
That said, the best scenery I ever saw on the camino was when I was lost. There must be a message in there somewhere.

Just had a lovely tutorial in the art of sending messages from another of you great guys so in future will not fill up the page with copies of any previous message (I hope)
Can’t tell a lie I was also given a clue in how to pass the revision test....
Showing off my new found skill and a thank you to Hermione! Yay

But I am afraid. In case you did not know, Ireland has been blessed with Continental summer like weather, to the point that we have drought warnings and restrictions (someone I know 'misswrote' draught!!!). If I take Ozy away from his watering hole, he could suffer. Yes, we will be walking along by the banks of a river. But he has never seen a river, he's too young. He could fall in and drown. I could never get him out. And anyway, he hasn't got his socks yet. They are en route from Rome. I think the next door neighbour will mind him, and check in every evening to see that he is comfy. and he can fill me in on any Russian spies hanging around the vicinity. He's good like that, has a great sense of how to read people.

I’ve got my own personal consultant now so sticking with the one opinion...they’ve done four or more so should have some valid opinions and the more you read..the more some things vary! What works for one doesn’t for others! Anyway, I’m the guy NOT to follow!
I’ll probably end up arguing with the Archbish of Canterbury telling him I’ve walked a long way (and some on water) and I demand to see his swingy thingy!...and why isn’t he speaking Spanish!...told you no sense of direction!!!
Don’t quite get the red socks...I seriously don’t!...my money is on Father Christmas (Santa Claus to others)!! Or perhaps there is a foot fetish going on here

You know, sometimes I just have to walk away from the keyboard. I have a weird sense of humour so in some not not serious threads( who is my model here with a kinda double negative?) the way things are put just make me laugh out loud and I really have to hold on to my typing fingers... anyway, seriously: for the first time today, I believe, I read about a Bot on the forum. Also, Sailor, sounds like you have been minding your step for a while... I did not know, nor do I need to, what you were put in quarantine for, but just happy to see that it has kept you on the straight and narrow. If I have been moderated, it was done by stealth! I am not a member of any other forum, but seeing things sometimes on news or whatever, people can be really brutal. My goodness, aren’t we civilised, mostly? Otherwise, most of us would disappear. Speaking of which, c’mon Samantha, twitch your nose, time for me to be gone!

@kirkie
Is that a Bot, as in fly, or a little cyber creature that scuttles around the internet?
Was it on here?
Which thread?
I share the temptations of your typing fingers sometimes ...

I feel similar! Perhaps we are surrounded by individual bots to ourselves! I shall call mine the Bristlebots! I can hear them and sense their presence every time I write now! I cannot see them or swat them...they are always there when my stubby (and sometimes careless) fingers touch the keyboard! They become louder when the injection of humour is added to my post! They are now my reminder that sometimes humour is subjective and not necessarily shared! They are quiet at the moment but become a buzzing swarm at other times....
Here’s to your bots...

As long as these Bots wear red sox I am all in favour.
I could write a long essay about the meaning of " bot " in Dutch and local dialect here but then again who is interested in semantics and vocabulary when weather is so brutally hot....?
No Fitou here but a nice cold Albariño.
Hmm talking about keyboards : I finally have access to a laptop again ( after too much fiddling on my irritating cellphone ). Gosh this screen is huge!!
Desperately wating for the autumn.... 21st of September : opening of the new knitting season. Tea/coffee and biscuits and open house chez Sabine every second Sunday of the month between 3 and 5 pm.

Languages are interesting! Bots can have another meaning in English...more of a diminutive...enough said on that one!
The story of me and Fitou wine is a long one and goes back... a lovely experience and was having a meal by myself in Fitou itself and although my French is fluent(ish) when I get there...it isn’t all embracing and like any second language can be misinterpreted!
To cut a long story short instead of ordering a glass I ended up with a rather large carafe!
Well I was in the bar next door with that carafe until 5 in the morning and my flight left from carcassonne at 11!.....happy days!
The locals were great!
