Too English for me, David. Way over my head. When I read Dilly for clues, I looked up Dame Edna Everidge I do like her wisteria hue hair, reminds me of Divine our (Hollywood's) drag queen! So here it goes...Nothing unusual I know a horse will eat its fodder!

Dilly has totally thrown a spanner in the works on this one, Really has nothing to do with Dame Edna, I thought everyone would get it, playing possum = playing dead like the possum does when attacked, but I’m guessing the rattlesnake swallowed it down regardless, hope that clears it up, wait til I get my hands on Dilly Dally, lol! cheers David

Hello David, Ahhh the harsh realities of life that stuff happens. I did chuckle at your dark humor. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Thanks Daniel, nothing like a little measured dark humour, to keep the mind focused, and harsh reality certainly brings it home, cheers David

Lol, after reading Dillys comment all I'm seeing is Dame Edna. Mind you she isn't playing anymore, RIP. Tom

She who was a he, passed on not too long ago, or did she lol, we really can’t be sure of anything these days or who’s playing who, unless in the belly of the beast, cheers David
