Good Morning Wednesday

No, I think FFS is generally recognised as Fat Finger S yndrome
Being a bit younger than I think you are, I do not suffer from memory problems so I probably did not read your explanation of your version of OBE
My father’s and FIL’s ones were the other sort.

FFS (not what you may think - fat finger syndrome)
Maw; Didn't you mean FAS? As I've just said, I think your prejudices are beginning to affect your faculties!
Your memory may not be what it was in your youth, but as I've previously explained, OBE is a non-regal life-time award for long service; "Over Bloody Eighty". Quite a few at local bowling clubs, but much less demand for "over 90s" medals.
Apologies for hogging air space, but I'm hoping to get these postings away before more A/Cs are switched on and the threatened power cuts take hold! Keep calm!

Rufus I do apologise for the typos

Australia Day, is on Saturday the 25th
Rufus; you dill! No it's not; everyone knows it's on the 26th.! The heat must have got to you!

Australia Day, is on Saturday the 25th. Today at our OBE Club, we kicked it off with a member's projector presentation of good old Aussie songs e.g "I still call Australia Home", "The Pub with no Beer"; Charlie Drake's "My Boomerang won't come back" and so on and so forth. A great time was had by all, followed by an excellent afternoon tea, including Lamingtons of course.!
Keep warm.

I should have said “about someone in his absence
Maw; Goodness me teacher! You're even correcting your own postings!
I don't recall reading anything malicious or even anything about Michael; it's all been about his computer and positive suggestions on how he could get it fixed. Please don't let your prejudices cloud your judgement.

Thank you for the reminder, Rachella, it was becoming quite unpleasant and upsetting, which we are unused to on this gentle, friendly thread.

I should have said “about someone in his absence “

Hear, hear!
Is “getting everyone going” by being malicious about someone else, what GN is all about?

Gets everyone going though doesn't he?? Are some of you ex head teachers?????

I am appalled at the sheer arrogance of people who come on here simply to mock and then take pride in the fact. Go and find another playground to play in!

Agreed Maw just sheer arrogance!

Your comments are beneath contempt Rufus

Hi Annamarie and Rufus, join me on the naughty chair
Megs; Love to, although bags I sit in the middle! At this rate Maw will have to buy us a larger more comfy naughty sofa! Still laughing!
Must away; busy day ahead at our "OBEs' Club.
Take care and Good Health.

Oh dear. Another “it’s”
Maw; Sorry teacher! I thought it was past your bedtime so I relaxed thinking I'd be safe. You've (watch out for these apostrophes; your special subject!?) got it all wrong! Mick's not a problem; I too appreciate his Brackley weather reports; it's his computer. We haven't a clue what's wrong except that we do know he can phone; you've told us so. Hand wringing and platitudes have never cured my comp. problems, but another positive idea would be for Mick to ditch his present one and buy or rent another. It must have cost him a fortune already at IT "experts" rates.
QED. Perhaps GNnetters can pass the hat round?

We must have similar tastes in reading, Gaggi3...I enjoyed Ashes of London too.

Sorry, Annarami not Anna Marie......

Hi Annamarie and Rufus, join me on the naughty chair??

Maw ??

Well said Maw You are not doing yourself any favours Rufus. Laughing at someone else’s expense is never funny!

Absolutely.
I have no idea where all that came from, but it wasn’t nice.

I could not agree more, what has Mick done to harm anyone and he is not here to fend for himself so these people are hitting below the belt.
