I’ve found that a Cherry Picker will do that!!!!! Or a good sized Ladder!!!!!
well lah di dah, look at you with your fancy ladders and cherry pickers, back in my day we used to have to climb up the tree to get our dates!! With no safety gear either, just a gstring made of barbed wire and a hollowed out pumpkin filled with live hornets for a helmet. Kids these days, no wonder this country is going to the dogs!!!
We used to wear barbed wire g strings on our heads, and hollowed out hornet filled avocados on our testicles, back in my day!!!!!
And that was when we went to bed in our broken glass and hot gravel pits at 10:00 in the morning!!!!!
To be able to wear them date pickin, would’ve been shear luxury!!!!!
You must’ve been born with a wooden spoon in your mouth!!!!!

Wooden spoon, hardly!! It was a dish fashioned from old paper bag that we found in a septic tank. Which we found after cleaning the septic tank with our tongues!!!! I had to get up in the morning at ten o’clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down the date farm, and pay farm owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing “Hallelujah.” And not the religious version either, the horrible Jeff Buckley version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And ya try and tell the youth of today, and they don’t believe a word of it!!!!!
Python for LYFE!!!
Word!!!!!
Hhhmmmmmm ..... Wonder what it would take to be able to see that aurora up here in Nth Qld ???
Hopefully I’m in the right spot at the right time one day to see one
....singing “Hallelujah.” And not the religious version either, the horrible Jeff Buckley version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
blasphemy!! Jeff Buckley and horrible in the same sentence?! The only time that is acceptable is when people are saying “it’s horrible how long it’s been since I heard Jeff Buckley’s amazing version of hallelujah!”
or how he is a HORRIBLE SWIMMER!!!
