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?

Can we eat, grandma?
Can we eat grandma?
Essential commas.

You could try eating Grandma but I think she would be very chewy and possibly a bit gristly

How Kafkaesque it is becoming. If you were an insect, what would you be ? Perhaps a Christmas beetle? Bright, shiny but little substance . I think I would like to be one of those, it would be fun.?

LauraNorder Tue 23-Feb-21 16:30:47

A bee, hopefully doing something useful on this planet, looking very smart in yellow and black, buzzing around and scaring the stupid but with a powerful sting only to be used as a last resort.

I was wondering if an iPad could be a highly intelligent cushion.

AGAA4 Tue 23-Feb-21 16:34:13

I like my cushions squashy. iPads not very comfortable even if they are intelligent.

Buzz off Laura. You took that idea from my cushions!

Ellianne Tue 23-Feb-21 17:01:22

Just in case it has slipped your mind.

LauraNorder Tue 23-Feb-21 17:06:21

Listen hear Honey, I am a hive of activity on the ideas front and wouldn't dream of poaching your cushion theme anymore that I would poach an egg - horrible runny things, scrambled, hard boiled or fried only.

LauraNorder Tue 23-Feb-21 17:06:55

Listen here, bloody predictive know it all thingy

LauraNorder Tue 23-Feb-21 17:07:42

PS lovely cushions *Ellianne

Ellianne Tue 23-Feb-21 17:12:49

Just beeware if you trespass on my threads.

By the way, try poaching pears instead.

grandmajet Tue 23-Feb-21 17:18:48

LauraNorder Tue 23-Feb-21 17:27:35

I’d be a big hairy black spider, and frighten myself! Can I run away from myself I wonder?

Ellianne Tue 23-Feb-21 17:34:15

Is your real name Charlotte grandmajet?

LauraNorder Tue 23-Feb-21 17:37:14

I think it's time you shaved your legs grandmajet, all eight of them

grandmajet Tue 23-Feb-21 17:41:44

The hairs help keep me warm. They only come off in July!

grandmajet Tue 23-Feb-21 17:42:21

Yes, Ellianne, I have many, many babies!

Dinahmo Tue 23-Feb-21 18:07:27

Muse south facing bedrooms - you'll be hot in the summer!

Back to socks - does anyone remember ads for willie warmers?

Happyme Tue 23-Feb-21 18:09:04

Well I shall be a ladybird.......and yes 'I amm a laydeee'.....I'll ?‍♀️ anyone who says otherwise!! ?

Peasblossom Tue 23-Feb-21 18:22:17

I think I’m probably a dung beetle (sigh)

Ellianne Tue 23-Feb-21 18:22:37

Is your real name Ann, Happyme?
Watch out, Laura needs that frying pan for her eggs.

Doodle Tue 23-Feb-21 21:48:27

Dung beetles have great strength, relatively speaking. Not that I wish to be a relative of a dung beetle (no offence intended Peasblossom) By the way, should you have an apostrophe?

Don't intend to sleep during the day. The sun warms the slate floor up and release heat at night. My bedroom in last house was south facing. Loved it.

I remember knitting patterns for willie warmers.

I think I'm a dragon fly. They eat just about everything.
