How did you meet?

jeni I think it's what the Commons call the Lords.

I initially met my OG at school when I was four, I then left and we were stationed all over the world as my Dad was in the RAF. Then came home to start secondary school and in needlework one afternoon the teacher came to me and asked me to sew Mr Glass trousers as he had split them so that is how we got together and here we are 2 DC and 5 DGC and40 odd year later.

Asked the wrong person to sew the pants as I cant sew a button on

Don't worry jeni. Everything's alright now.

Think I posted this on the wrong thread. It should be on the plain old Oldie Borum Chat - but my sentiments haven't changed, apart from wishing I'd put a few 's in.

I don't think I'm an Oldie, and don't feel like one, either.

What does Borum mean - Bore 'em to death?
Bore 'em stupid

Is it a pun of Forum?

What DOES it mean?

Nah, not doing it for me.

Isn't that what the Lords call the Commons?

mutter....... makes you want to go over to that other place....... almost

and I don't mean Mumsnet.

Read Geraldine's explanation on the Oldie Borum thread on "Chat"

I am getting tired of Charlotte Oldie 's appropriation of our forum threads. If I could bring myself to shut up, I might vow not to post on any headed Oldie Borum (whatever that means) but I'd rather join the rant.

WQell, that brightened the afternoon up.

You worry too much Elegran

jingle You can rant when we know WTF is happening. Just keep clear just now. If there is a problem, non-reaction is the best defence. If not, you will make an enemy for no purpose.

Give us our top bit back.

Geraldine's coming.

How did you get a whole forum topic to yourself, *CharlotteOldie? Not just a conversation or thread, a whole topic?

Me and hubby, or should that be hubby and I? We met at a dance at the Carlton ballroom in Rochdale, late November 1962, don`t even know if it`s still standing! I was there with a group of girls from work, and after a disastrous evening spent dancing with all the wrong people, was finally asked up by this passably (then!) good looking boy at about 11pm. After the dance, which was a barn dance, remember them? he took me for a drink at the bar, and asked if I liked brass bands! As a matter of fact, I did, and it turned out he played in one. We arranged to meet and go to the pictures the following night, and the rest is history. We married in July 1963.
