All the drivel about privacy and they do an interview with Oprah. I feel ashamed for Harry that he feels the need to air his dirty linen in public. What do they get from this? I have no idea. Prince Philip is in hospital and I just feel like saying shame on you both.

Are you being funny? I'm going to the oprah, not a Bananarama concert.

It's a gift, to make you feel empowered as a woman. Are you looking my gift horse in the mouth?

Nothing wrong with banana republics. They do call bananas lady’s fingers here after all.

Just Skyped my children to ask what the grandchildren would like for Easter. As they all had waffle makers for Christmas I have decided to give them a small hole around which to make their own donuts ?.

Ideal bikergran, you can show us all the good bits before we get thrown out for being rowdy.

And very delicious they are too.

Well actually ! I was going to offer you all tea (out of a jam jar of course) & (cake from the whoopsie) counter.

But I'm not sure the mayor will allow riff raff into the Town.

As for the Dial a ride bus, the wheels were stolen whilst the occupants were searching in their carrier bags for their loose change to spend in the £1 shop.

The poor lass that was strapped to the roof lost her shoes(they didn't fit her that well anyway).

Please wipe your feet on the way out! grin

NellG I live in Accrington.

Is that Accrington Stanley?
Or is that a football team?

I'm more into polo myself ?

LauraNorder Sat 06-Mar-21 23:49:12

I prefer trebor Callistemon, polo has that annoying little hole.

Callistemon Sat 06-Mar-21 23:55:40

Watch out, I have my polo mallet handy, ready to quell disruptions.

A question in a quiz we've been doing this evening was:
Who said, "You define your own life"?
Huh, sounds like Meghan says I, rolling my eyes.
The answer? Oprah Winfrey... ?

bikergran when my husband was a young collections agent for a finance company he was actually offered a cup of tea in a jar by one "lady" he had to call on ?

bikergran Sun 07-Mar-21 08:30:53

Yes it the one and only Accrington Stanley, actually I'm a bit "posher" I live in Oswaldtwistle (next door) near Oswaltwistle Mills.

V3r lol

Ellianne Sun 07-Mar-21 13:27:30

Polo? Naah. Anyone for croquet? Now that can get vicious.
Pass the cucumber sandwiches someone and a cup of tea please.

Ellianne Sun 07-Mar-21 13:34:01

I'm more into polo myself. I like the little horse emoji Callistemon. Is it a gift?

LauraNorder Sun 07-Mar-21 15:52:33

My favourite bit of a polo match is the divot stomping.
Like being amongst sanctimonious Gwyneth Paltrow fans, nothing beats grinding the little sods in to the ground.

Try saying that when you've had a g &t in a jam jar
Jam jars are very fashionable as drinking vessels.

I've tried saying it and can't even manage it after a brew

I am indeed very gifted, Ellianne

When I was working this very old gentleman told me he had something to show me and he went and got a jam jar. Inside of it he proudly displayed his kidney stones. I made an excuse when he offered me a cuppa!

Ellianne Thu 11-Mar-21 08:30:23

Yuck nanna.
During my university holidays I worked in an operating theatre of a London hospital. My first job of the day was to wheel all the overnight jam jars of body parts round to pathology. I had great fun trying to identify the bits, before I read the labels.

Drinking from glassware, even jam jars is fine. What is horrible is drinking wine from metal pots in posh restaurants. Puts my teeth on edge.

Alexa Thu 11-Mar-21 09:17:21

Patients should always be offered kidney stones and gall stones as patients often like to have them.

Lexisgranny Thu 11-Mar-21 23:08:49

I was given my nine marble sized gallstones in a plastic pot, but the ward was warm and they stuck to each other in a sticky mess and looked liked something from a horror film.

Callistemon Thu 11-Mar-21 23:20:47

I thought gall stones would be like tiny round pebbles but they were larger than I thought and very spiky (painful) when someone showed me the ones she'd had removed.
