WTH is a "left ring toe"?!

Second smallest toe on my left foot. I had to look up what it was called, so I'm not surprised someone is asking.

It might be called that if you're a gypsy who wears rings on your toes...! 😱

People running on 'holiday time'.

"We arranged to meet at 2:00 so I'll just casually turn up at 3:15, and then I'll get all indignant when he tries to go out for his 3:30 appointment."

”Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross,
To see a fine lady upon a white horse;
Bells on her fingers and rings on her toes,
And she shall have music wherever she goes.“

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Nope. Having lived with their thieving and violence for 40 years perhaps not. We usually use much less polite words to refer to them.

Gypsy... reminded me of granddaughter about age six. We were all going to the restaurant in Lyall Bay and she was running around in bare feet. I told her to put sandals on first. She asks why so I reply so you don’t look like a gypsy. We arrive at the restaurant and waiting in line for a table, shes staring at a woman in bare feet and yells out to the rest of the family 'look! I just saw a gypsy.'

Just be thankful you're not likely to wake up to your local sports field covered in Transit vans and caravans one morning!

Eye roll...I then got the big speech from the daughters about using current PC language to the little sponge. Meanwhile the kid got it pretty right I thought. The woman was wearing one of those full skirts with colourful patches and rings on her toes and bracelets. Had a quiet word to her later and we looked at pictures of gypsy dancers etc and said that even though she looked like the pictures we had to pretend she didn’t because some people get angry at the truth.

In Greece they call themselves Roma but the locals still refer to them as Gypsies. Many years back they would walk through the neighbourhoods selling their wares. I remember my MIL called them in before my wedding to make the dowry quilt. They sat on the floor with the red satin material we gave them and the wool stuffing and they stitched the entire thing by hand, not in squares but with designs. I still have it, now relegated to the loft in favour of feather quilts...but I digress and am way off topic.

How would you prefer your meat kept free of contaminants?!

The fact that I have a nice new GoPro to attach to my Spyder when I leave early on Tuesday for the South Island and (a) it takes micro SD cards when every camera I own takes standard SD cards of which I have many and (b) Noel Leeming, the only realistic source of such things around here, has none in stock of decent spec or quality.

Combined with the fact that it is a bank holiday on Monday so when I go over to Wellington in the afternoon pre-ferry, none of the camera shops etc will be open...

Vivian St would give you PBTECH (normal hours) and WPS (10 - 4 ) both open on Monday. Bank holiday Pfft.

Could you maybe run a 5G phone near it and that'll kill any lifeforms that may be present?

Probably packed off site and transported to the store chilled with an inert gas in the airtight packaging to make it last for weeks and still be pink.
