i often think "is it me?" of course it never is.......

Oxon70 Sat 12-May-12 16:52:08

Everybody's marching out of step except me.....

soop Sat 12-May-12 16:05:47

hmm grin

jeni Sat 12-May-12 15:59:50

Borderline?

soop Sat 12-May-12 15:47:26

Never, never, ever refer to me as being sane...I wouldn't recognise myself! I prefer being considered borderline quirky ...now that's quaint wink

Bags Sat 12-May-12 15:41:57

grin Wondering what it looks like now.....?

Don't go there!!!!! shock

jeni Sat 12-May-12 15:41:49

Well, it shows how desparately I am when I start calling you mob sane!

soop Sat 12-May-12 15:39:12

titter, giggle, splutter!!!

jeni Sat 12-May-12 15:37:40

bagsit precedes you!

soop Sat 12-May-12 15:34:18

AH! I knew that on learning that I was taking your name in vain, you'd leap out from behind a flowering shrub, Bags

Bags Sat 12-May-12 15:29:00

I don't think you should go impplying things like that, soop! What about my reputation?!?! wink

soop Sat 12-May-12 15:19:54

anma Please do! Anything goes...the more outragious, the better! grin
jeniDid you say nice quiet sane sensible company? Where's Bags when we need her? grin

Quiet corners are about all I am up for this weekend. Just been lounging at the bottom of the garden with a sun lounger mattress on the overgrown gravel path - the most sheltered spot. Just enough room for me between the parsley and the geranium. Always up for some drop scones/ pancakes/ crumpets/ welsh cakes etc. I have lots of slightly runny but tasty marmalade I could bring smile

jeni Sat 12-May-12 15:10:54

Can I come on please. I've been trying to read my files outside in the lovely sunshine, but, somebody, I don't know who is playing very loud pop music in their garden and destroying the peace of what is normally a very nice quiet area!angry
I think this is antisocial so I want some nice quiet sane sensible company!

anma Sat 12-May-12 15:05:00

this sounds very enjoyable. can i come in my pyjamas please?

soop Sat 12-May-12 12:28:45

POGS I don't even understand myself, let alone the rest of the gang grin If you knew the real me, then you would find me to be a party-pooper and perfectly content with my own company. Yet, for me, GN has been a wonderful 'come out of the shell' experience in ways too many to mention. The virtual parties are FUN...we can be virtually anyone we choose to be. We laugh and play around and even get marched off to the cells for unruly behaviour. After which, we virtually sober up and carry on leg-pulling until the next celebration. It's all perfectly ridiculous and harmless. Please POGS do join in the next time we run riot have fun. smile wink

Wow glass you've got a bargain there. Love my old red Aga...its the only thing of any worth in my house and no-one can steal it!So cosy.

It's a bit more refined in here. I'll just slip my shoes off for ten minutes and have a little glass of sherry and a cucumber sandwich before getting back to those prima donnas thespians over there on the Burton-Taylor thread. Aaaahhhhh - lovely smile

Butternut Fri 11-May-12 19:54:40

Delish! Peppered and salted I hope.

jeni Fri 11-May-12 19:46:34

Now now ladies! This the QUIET corner! No bickering no squabbling! Just nice ladylike behaviour.
I've brought some nice tiny crust less cucumber sandwiches on a lovely bone china plate. I'll pass them around!

POGS Fri 11-May-12 19:36:04

Some people can be so selfish Ariadne.smile

Ariadne Fri 11-May-12 19:33:50

Right, POGS you're on! But you're not having my slippers!

POGS Fri 11-May-12 19:32:32

Oh, now I get it.

Have you got a big slipper and a bottle of Bicardi Ariadne because I could be there a long time. wine

Ariadne Fri 11-May-12 19:25:49

POGS The quiet corner was somewhere to retreat to, away from bickering, squabbles and depression. Just come in and settle down on the settee - there's room here next to me, and I'd welcome a chance to get to know you. Have a wine?

Daft but funny.

Butternut Fri 11-May-12 19:16:31

It's a virtual gathering/party, pogs. We have them occasionally frequently for fun and friendship.
