Gosh have been scrawling thru threads and it seems quite volatile at times and wonder where some ladies ..oops can't say that or can I? Some posters don't read the whole thread and where do you ALL get the energy from? ?

Shinamae Sun 21-Nov-21 10:48:43

But I did find The Woodentops quite scary ?

I’m sorry I now know what flobbing really means. ??
I thought it was to do with the FlowerPot Men said.

Oh, Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men and Little Weed!

How happy we were with simple pleasures in those faraway days ?

I must admit that I don’t have the time or inclination to read everything, I respond to the original post and apologise if I am going over old ground!

Just looked to see what the word I used meant - I can’t even write the word now????.

I clearly live a very refined existence??

I won't ever mention it again.
Promise!

Just shows you are never too old to learn.

I’m just sorry ... that Bea65 hasn’t returned ‼️

Whose Al ? Is he related to Sal ?

Ál was meant to be all. Sincere apologies for the typo.

nanna I thought your post was a wind up, then I remembered where you live.

I can match your parrot with a seagull. But it doesn't sit on my hand just sits on the shed roof begging for food.

A big red parrot just flew into our garden , looked at me and then hopped onto my shoulder. Oohhh, so honoured. I got some seed for him on my hand and he ate it but then decided he would start on my fingers. Naughty boy. He totally disrailed my thoughts on this thread …

BlueBelle Sun 21-Nov-21 05:39:00

Oh I forgot Brian he’s brother to Ryan isn’t he ?

Ro60 Sun 21-Nov-21 00:40:53

Gosh & some posters don't get back! Must admit didn't read all of your responses but had a good laugh - out loud ???

Apologies for past & future faux pas's sp???

Now off to read the gems I've missed ?

Love you all ?

Drat Callistemon I wish you'd posted that a while ago, it took me ages to go through the alphabet! But it's uncanny how close I was! grin

Amazingly close in fact ?

Calistemon Sat 20-Nov-21 23:45:45

???

DS is Will because I just couldn't call him Walter

No BlueBelle you've got it all wrong! Callistemon. is known as Cal. Her mum is Val. Her sister is Sal and her brother is Al. Her dad is Hal but they all call him Brian.

Calistemon Sat 20-Nov-21 23:41:15

grin
My Dad was Hal, my bro is Al, my friend was Mal, another friend is Val and I'm Cal.
Sorry, but my Mum didn't quite rhyme but very nearly.

I won't start on DH's side of the family!

BlueBelle Sat 20-Nov-21 23:27:36

Sorry, not sorry,
is Cal your pal and your mum called Sal and your dad is Al

Oh god it was a joke Shinamae.‼️
Of course I know what your day entailed ... I sent you a p.m. this morning remember?

My comment was tongue in cheek. Just shows how comments can be misinterpreted!

Now I’m REALLY sorry! ?

I honestly thought you’d ‘get it’ straight away.

Note to self - use emoji’s next time!
?

I thought it was really odd since you had wished me well this morning, I do think emojis are useful that’s why I put a funny one at the end of mine. Nothing to forgive just a simple text misunderstanding ???

You might just be bragging there Shinamae as you don’t know me - nor do you know what kind of a day I’ve had.

Sorry.

But there it is.

That was a tongue in cheek remark about the procedure I had at the hospital this morning sorry if that’s upset you..

Shinamae Sat 20-Nov-21 23:03:36

Well may I just point out that nobody has had a more “interesting”day than me and for that I will not apologise….?

Urmstongran Sat 20-Nov-21 23:01:50

Your last comment really made me laugh Cali.!

I’m trying to think if I ought to apologise for anything. This thread is like being in a parallel universe!

I’ve read all of it.
Perhaps I could apologise for not understanding what Bea even refers to? That’s a starting point.

Calistemon Sat 20-Nov-21 22:48:29

No need to apologise for the fact that you had a more exciting day than me grannyactivist
