G'Afternoon, Woods

Bob, that really sucks. Sounds like we're related. Fortunately, you have big shoulders.
Must be where the saying " Up ****'s Creek" comes from.

 

Al,
Just had to look it up, and found this .......


"Records show that in Plymouth the creek now known as Stonehouse Creek was, during the 18thcentury, known as **** Creek because of the foul smelling mud that formed its banks.
The creek led to the Royal Naval Hospital, Stonehouse, a medical facility for naval officers ad other ranks at that was built in 1758–65.
Millfield hospital housed 1,200 patients in sixty wards, its ten ward blocks being arranged around a courtyard with a central block containing the chapel, dispensary and staff housing.
In those times any hospital stay was a dance with death and for many who arrived in **** Creek the journey up it was a one way trip.
To be Up **** Creek therefore meant the person was in a bad situation, which was either slowly or rapidly getting worse with no evident way out.
Even if your boat had a paddle, you still, typically, had a slow long recovery."

 

Stan, I didn't know that....Thanks

 

Hahahaha - Anytime Mr. Al

 

Only in the TOAK.... what would the forum be without us?

 

Is this a trick question? Obviously, this is the heart of the Internet, not just the forum. The TOAK is the only reason I pay the internet bill.

 

Its why I steal cable from my neighbours
