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?

Sockless!! Think about the repercussions for the sock industry. H and M would have to start a new charity for unemployed sock makers!

Please ( I’m being serious) can we just keep this as a fun thread and not make it yet another MM thread even if dressing it up as fun?

Whoops, sorry. ?. I agree there’s a surfeit of THOSE threads, but it isn’t called a fun thread but an Arguments Thread.

Mollygo Sun 21-Feb-21 17:33:35

So should I, as my mum would say, “put a sock in it”?

So you’re arguing about the difference between fun and arguments are you? I’ll see you outside then

Aveline Sun 21-Feb-21 18:33:13

Can I watch? I'll hold your coat and handbag Greeneyedgirl. I never find arguments fun.

Hello Everyone
Can I say something please? smile
I did rather think that this thread would be somewhere that posters could come to to have a bit of a barny when one occurs. For instance, off the top of my head, today we could have had arguments about Gregg Wallace; ^Eleanor Oliphant is Absolutely Fine^and numerous over-rated actors in particular Olivia Colman.
I still think that this idea might have legs; what do you think?
Feel free to disagree!

I think some of us wanted to send ourselves up a bit and have some fun. I think it’s worked quite well

suziewoozie Sun 21-Feb-21 19:12:17

As for the legs, what type of socks are they wearing ( very serious question)

grandmajet Sun 21-Feb-21 19:19:53

Gregg Wallace’s socks? Might be a bit cheesy!

Ellianne Sun 21-Feb-21 19:57:59

We could have a Barny with a cushion maybe.

grandmajet Sun 21-Feb-21 19:59:38

Olivia Colman’s socks would be a bit dreary and down-at-heel.

Doodle Sun 21-Feb-21 20:41:23

Ellieanne what’s my husband doing in your bed ? ?

grandmajet Sun 21-Feb-21 20:44:57

Quick everyone, punch up coming!

Greeneyedgirl Sun 21-Feb-21 20:51:26

Oh no! I hate the sight of blood even tho trained as a nurse & midwife. Makes my legs feel wobbly. ?

Ellianne Sun 21-Feb-21 20:54:50

Unfortunately Doodle he has very lumpy skin and is a fossil so I am returning him to you.

grandmajet Sun 21-Feb-21 20:56:54

I wouldn’t have that, Doodle, she’s already been caught out, now she’s throwing him back!
Fight!

Messages on banana skins ‘ contains banana’ perhaps?
Bare feet should have a warning message too ‘ member of the blackfoot tribe’ ....
Cushions should be free on the NHS as I like to hide behind one when watching scary films, so they are necessary for good mental health.

Doodle Sun 21-Feb-21 22:56:49

He might be old Ellieanne but it’s a bit rude calling him a fossil. He’s only lumpy because you’ve been sitting on him.
You can’t just Chuck him back now you’ve got yourself a new model ?

lemongrove Sun 21-Feb-21 23:02:27

He’s far too pink for my liking Doodle .....just not manly enough ( and I have my own old fossil anyway.)?

Ellianne Sun 21-Feb-21 23:10:59

I've moved onto a new Barny now anyway, though I think there might be a dinosaur involved here too.

Doodle Sun 21-Feb-21 23:28:29

Grr and now you’ve got my lover too Ellianne. Give him back or else.

Doodle Sun 21-Feb-21 23:31:28

I’m not putting up with this ....Take that ?

But take it quickly before lemon grabs it. She’s a big fan ?

Oh, jolly good. I won't interject further! smile
(I can't think of anything funny to say about cushions, I'm afraid blush)

Lemongrove Careful! Haven't you just said you don't like "old men"?.
Or are you talking about something else? confused
