Still more torr

Advantages: I'm sometimes bold
Disadvantages: I'm often in italics too

...Much as you were too polite to admit it, I'm sure that those of you who read my recent "Who Am I?" review were disappointed that I didn't disclose any intimate and embarrassing details, not consciously anyway. So to make up for any such disappointment (or dispel any consequent relief) here's an update of one I prepared earlier, with the addition of a few questions that have emerged in challenges since it was first written to bring it up to the full 57 varieties. 01. What time is it? ~ High time I stopped responding to challenges like this. 02. Name? ~ Duncan - my second name but the one by which I've always been known. torr to my offspring, and to Ciao. 03. Number of candles that appeared on your last birthday cake? ~ Neither sure I had a cake nor whether it had candles on. Memory fades at my age, especially...

Review of All About Me

Torres Del Paine

Advantages: Stunning scenery
Disadvantages: Long flights

...Trekked around the Torres Del Paine National park as part of "Trek Patagonia" a charity trek organised by Mencap. I had always wanted to visit Chile and was able to combine raising over £3,000 for Mencap with seeing one of the most beautiful areas of Southern Chile. The park is a few hours drive from Punta Arenas which is one of the last stops before polar expeditions and the local wildlife includes penguins.The park is well organised with several camp areas and provision huts. We had local trek leaders with each group and all fitness levels were catered for. The trek to the 3 peaks was hampered by cloud, but the best part for me was a trek to the Grey Glacier. We sat and ate lunch facing the glacier watching chunks of ice thousands of years old dropping into the water- Magical.Glacial lakes and condors provided some of the views as we...

The film with the ass poster

Advantages: Scary and unique imagery and concept
Disadvantages: Bad acting, cliches, finale

...and there?s more to her mother?s madness than she knows of. She enlists the help of the Book of Mirrors a Cabbalist Jewish text and a Jewish rabbi (Gary Oldman) to try and relieve her of this torture. What I thought Not long ago I watched a reviewed Cloverfield in which I commented on the attractiveness of Odette Yustman who starred in it. Well whilst reading about Cloverfield I noticed that she was also in this film or ?The film with the ass poster? as I termed it from the time I first saw the posters, so I searched about and yup I?d already bought it in my obsessive compulsive way and here we are. And you know what? Despite all the heavy criticism of this film, the aggregate score of 12% on Rotten Tomatoes and the fact that it seemed to solely publicise itself on the basis of the lead actress having a fine ass, I thought this...

Gateau de Noël à la mode du torr

Advantages: A Christmas cake's a scrumptious treat
Disadvantages: Too rich with so much else to eat?

...December's here. It's time to bake Our annual family Christmas cake. Some say it's best done months before, But I'm pedantic; I deplore Such early starts to Christmastide. If it were my decision, I'd Forbid the C-word to be used Till Advent started; it's abused As matters stand?.Enough, I'm ranting - Instead, I'll go and start decanting Some Christmas spirit from its bottle. Thus fuelled and running on full throttle I'll talk you through instructions for Gateau à la mode du torr. Ransack your larder first of all. It's likely that among your haul You'll find dried fruit, which often lurks In shady corners (and it irks A cook to find it aeons later, Condemned to waste by "use by" data). Assuming it's still "best before" Weigh what you've got and buy some more If there's too little. For a tin Of seven inches...

Poster Anyone?

Advantages: Excellent service, choice and delivery
Disadvantages: Some of the prices

...I love decorating my room with different posters to show off my favourite bands, films and even a periodic table (I like Chemistry) However I have began to get bored of my current posters as they reflected my 'younger' self. So I really wanted to get some new posters which I could love and not get bored of. Finding the Site I wanted to find a site that is reliable and I could use again and again. I first thought Ebay but I went off it when I saw the postage prices of the posters. So I used my very trusty google and typed in 'poster' and the first result that came up was AllPosters.com. It has a yellow stripe across meaning it is recommended by google and has it's trust. I liked the name so tried it out and was taken to the site. It can be easily found and has a familyar good name which is memorable. Starting Up...

Torr's cats - a mogalogue

Advantages: Knowing the cats, I found it fun to write
Disadvantages: Not knowing the cats, you might not find it fun to read

...the odd exotic Influx my cats have all, I guess, Been more or less demotic. But they've been none the worse for that, And if you have a mind to Acquire for yourself a cat, My tip: don't be confined to? ?just one specific type or breed But look at every kind. You'll soon find one to suit your need, Or they'll find you, you'll find. Sometimes they'll leave your nerves in bits Or furnishings in tatters, But once a cat is yours, you're its - That's really all that matters. >^^< *Footnote (or pawnote) in haiku form* >^^< All cats lend themselves To poetry, but must be Repaid with interest. © torr 2005...

Torr Consults Schmutzie

Advantages: Personal and intimate confessions of a shocking nature....
Disadvantages: from Ciao's two old f***s.

...Torr Consults Schmutzie. (Torr and Schmutzie thought it would be fun to write something together, so we got permission to do so from the office. ) TORR ) My old jalopy?s blown a gasket now. At least it got me here to see this frau ? This Doctor Schmutzie. Don?t know why they think That I would want to see a psycho-shrink. But she?s a woman - that?s enough for me, To female flowers I?m a honey-bee. I make a beeline for them, and excite Them with some honeyed words that hint delight. They all pretend they?re not at all impressed. "Sod off, old lech," they say (of course, in jest; The banter of flirtation, nothing worse, Feigning to send me packing with a curse. I know they?re only playing hard to get; Sooner or later I?ll beguile one yet.) How shall I woo this psychotherapist? (Thank god it?s morning and I?m not...

The Torr Clerihew Challenge

Advantages: A dying art form revived!
Disadvantages: Public humiliation at the craptastic writing!

...And so on to the latest from the Torr crackingly good idea machine! The Clerihew - how wonderful to see that name being bandied about again, and to see so many people reading and writing them! To avoid repetition, please read Torr's excellent starter for, well hundreds probably, for a very succinct description of the form and its origins. Now I am NOT a competent creative writer, but when pushed I'll have a go! So with apologies for all those highly creative Ciaoers who ARE very competent and prove it often, here are my paltry attempts..... be gentle with me....! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Tate drives me mad With art that is bad! Money spent on bricks Makes me feel physically sick...

Blu Tack told to stick it!

Advantages: Re-usable, don't leave a mark
Disadvantages: You either have to buy 20 or 200!!

...This weekend most of us will be taking down our Christmas decorations and whilst that is a job in itself, how many of you will have the further job of trying to remove the greasy marks left by the Blu Tack? Not me, this year to hold my decorations up I have used Tesa Poster Strips instead of Blu Tack and drawing pins. Tesa UK Ltd is the largest adhesive tape manufacturer in Europe and caters for both industry and consumers. The actual strips work like double-sided sticky tape and can be used to hang lightweight things such as photographs and posters and I thought they?d be ideal for decorations. Like Blu Tack, they can be used again and again and are ideal for sticking to any surface. I?ve used them on wallpaper, painted walls and the ceiling, which they all stick great. I think they have a much greater sticking power than Blu...
