Something not many know about you?

I would love to be able to do an ear splitting whistle with my fingers in my mouth. Keep trying on and off by no success! Any tips!
Annie

I can do it annie ..... very useful for errant dogs or GC

I failed to teach either of my DC so I'm hoping that the knack has skipped a generation and that one of the GC will be able to whistle with two fingers. Eldest one is showing some promise as she can already whistle in the usual way and she's not yet five

My favourite shop in Southwold is - wait for it - the Hardware shop. Spend more time in there than in any other Southwold shops

My dad used to make us cocoa with hot buttered toast, which we dipped in the cocoa. MMMMMMMMMMMM. memories. I still do it now and then to my DDH dismay (and him with hot buttered condensed milk rolls - not so much at all now since cardiac arrest)

Take your teeth out

pinkannie I use four fingers (both index and middle) to push the tip of my tongue up and back, a little - then blow. It can be very useful!

I have to do things in fives. Five drinks of tea, water etc. I suppose its a little OCD but nothing to worry about. A friend of mine used to have to touch the pillar which stood in her BILs kitchen on each side when she arrived and when she left. Very stressful for her

Flowerofthewest, I do understand your choice of shop. There is an old fashioned hardware place in Stow-on-the-Wold, which I always head for first! Probably even more satisfying than the aforementioned Screw-Fix catalogue! I am not an expert DIYer, but can turn my hand to some minor repairs and maintenance, as I have the necessary tools and bits and bobs.
Setting my kitchen timer has to be in multiples of 5 minutes, and volume levels of car radio etc. only even numbers! This mild OCD does not extend to a spotless house though.
I can't do the whistle, but taught GSs to burp on demand -I didn't even know I could until the request!

Re my YETI fascination - Saw a program on channel 4 last night regarding the Yeti and it was proved with DNA samples that it is a cross between a polar bear and a brown bear. This living in the high Himalayas. A bit disappointed that it isn't a primate of sorts but I still have the mystery of the SASQUATCH of North America to keep me going.

Mine never extends to a spotless house either shysal. Must be in the programming.

I enjoyed that programme too, Flower. Isn't the Sasquatch likely to be some kind of bear as well?

Flowerofthewest,I thought a man confessed on his death bed he had been Big Foot?

You mean you're a cowardy custard Cari?

Galen we had 'sugar butties' in my childhood.

We had bread and lard with sugar on it.we were not rich

Cari please can you explain why you are frightened of custard? Were you traumatised by a trifle as a child????

CARI Please answer!

She can't. Someone brought in a custard slice and she's cowering in the corner.

Old joke coming up. Q - What is yellow and dangerous?
