Mekong Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Happy New Year to followers of the Lunar Calender. It probably means jack shit to most but in this side of the world where christmas and gregorian New Year are ignored Lunar New Year is a major event, it is my only PAID vacation of the year. Year of the Monkey, god help me, the better half is a Monkey, 12 months of hell, hehe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICXHZjcyJso Makes a change from posting Videos about sex with household appliances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage_Kwai Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yes. Gong Xi Fa Cai to all who celebrate. It was the only holiday that used to completely shut Singapore down back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 For some reason, the U.S. Navy got paid with a lot of $2 bills. When I was a kid, a friend used to mow a navy officer's lawn and always had a pile of them. Quite unusual to see them in circulation though. Australia used to have $2 bills, but they've gone to a coin now. Tells you how bad inflation is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Sigh. Can't delay the inevitable. Already into my fifth cycle. Still, guess I'll have a hard time catching up with Flash... I doubt that any of us can live that long, Flash defies Biology, Do you mean fifth or sixth, the cycle does begin the year it starts i.e. 0-11 is first 12 to 23 the second on so on, my cheeky monkey wife will just be into her fifth cycle in a few weeks time, 48 is the start of the fifth cycle, I did mention the fact that I could trade her in for 2 x 24 year olds and just about survived with my testicles intact. Belgium Boy I too was unaware about the Significance of a $2 Bill, when I was given one as a "Good Luck" charm my first thoughts were "Oi Kee Neow" it was only after finding out that I understood the true meaning. $2 Bill, Rabbits Foof and some lucky heather, the reason why my wallet is always full, no room for any actual money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage_Kwai Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I am a Wood Goat so I guess I'm already starting my sixth cycle. Don't trade in experience for youth, have seen some train wrecks with colleagues who should have known better... Prefer the older gals myself, especially the ones you can have a decent chinwag with over a couple of beers and still retain the benefits. The younger ones just take too much effort and energy.
