Hello Everyone smile
Just wanted to get this in first wink

Fancy some verbal jousting; a bit of rumble; a good old punch up?

Well, you're in the right place! Enjoy!

Any ideas for potential topics please?

lemongrove Fri 19-Feb-21 21:18:21

I like cushions, and sometimes M&S and I will sock anyone who says different.Come on then....one at at time or all at once, makes no difference to me!

lemongrove Fri 19-Feb-21 21:19:34

Mollygo you seem to have very flat feet, were you a rozzer?

Mollygo Fri 19-Feb-21 22:35:05

??? lemongrove, no, that’s a new pair that I haven’t worn yet. I have them in an assortment of colours.

Doodle Fri 19-Feb-21 22:54:32

Have you got them in Tabby cat Mollygo ?

Doodle Fri 19-Feb-21 22:55:13

I’ve got Christmas socks with reindeer on them ?

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 22:57:23

I have hedgehog socks, they are a bit prickly.........

Mollygo Fri 19-Feb-21 23:02:56

Doodle, yes but they’re in the laundry basket.

Socks whether they have cute little bunnies, hedgehog or flowers, let’s face it are just sooooooo boring and unsexy.

I have been wasting precious time lately watching Netflix, and whichever film I choose the plot is frequently unnecessarily IMO interrupted by a bonking scene. You never see them hopping into bed for the aforementioned activity with fluffy socks (or any other sort) on do you? Proves my point.

Greeneyedgirl. grin I shouldn't be so sure!

I was just looking for some heart socks for my big feet (9s). Honest.
I could have chosen a better image from their website:

I think socks can be much more sexy than many feet. Hard skin, long scratchy toenails,etc. Keep your socks on for all romantic activities please!

Greeneyedgirl Sun 21-Feb-21 09:50:34

Oh dear! Not sexy in my book muse.

Frankly my book is minuscule. I love feet if not too knobbly, or with long toenails. I don’t like painted toenails much unless they are clear varnish. I wouldn’t let anyone jump into my bed with socks on. Mind you Mr Greeneyed’s jumping days are rather measured since hip replacements grin

RulaNula Sun 21-Feb-21 09:56:20

I will always love M&S. But it's not what it was when my love started to bloom in the 70s. That happens as we age. Passion diminishes.

But you just can't beat their manzanilla olives. My passion for these remains the same

Woe betide anyone who disagrees

RulaNula Sun 21-Feb-21 09:57:39

As for feet!

Anyone aged 10 and above need to keep their feet to themselves. Ghastly things.

Greeneyedgirl Sun 21-Feb-21 12:16:27

Only ghastly if they’ve been abused Rula. Like many things I guess. I love M&S because it reminds me of childhood shopping with mum, when things were laid out on counters. I swear some of the stock is still there ? Not the olives of course, they weren’t heard of in my spaghetti hoop childhood.

Aveline Sun 21-Feb-21 12:40:08

Spaghetti hoops!? You were spoilt. We dreamed of spaghetti hoops. Lucky if we got a bag of grit twice a week in my day! (Argumentative? Moi?)

LauraNorder Sun 21-Feb-21 13:09:23

Aveline you ungrateful hussy, you’d be glad of that grit if your path was icy. Spaghetti hoops just wouldn’t do.

Greeneyedgirl Sun 21-Feb-21 13:21:20

I had a veeeery poor childhood, Aveline. TWO bags, what an indulgence.

Our spaghetti hoops were shared between 4 of us kids and had to last a week. On the Friday we took turns to lick the can. We’d have loved some grits (isn’t that what Americans eat?)

LauraNorder Sun 21-Feb-21 13:50:06

This seems to be the only thread not arguing about Meghan bloody Markle, does she wear socks? Is Harry allowed to have salt on his porridge? Does their housekeeper put the cushions on their points or square?

LauraNorder Sun 21-Feb-21 13:50:58

Does Harry make Meghan eat spaghetti hoops?

Aveline Sun 21-Feb-21 13:51:18

Americans? Who cares what they eat! Them with their cushions and socks and fancy tinned food

LauraNorder Sun 21-Feb-21 13:51:55

Do they both eat their bananas when green or yellow?

Aveline Sun 21-Feb-21 13:55:09

Bananas? A choice of bananas? shock

Ellianne Sun 21-Feb-21 13:55:35

LauraNorder

Do they both eat their bananas when green or yellow?

Or with "kind" messages written on them?

Aveline Sun 21-Feb-21 14:03:24

Like eating instructions? Peel and eat!

Greeneyedgirl Sun 21-Feb-21 14:06:48

Some think Harry should have worn socks in THE photo. I think we should all go sockless in solidarity.
