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? ?

Love is never having to say you're sorry

Never understood that at all

it was most probably invented by a <whispers> man

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

MissAdventure Sat 20-Nov-21 21:09:19

I just looked it up, and there are various meanings, one of which is to spit.
I'm thinking that the flobbing is the act of getting the greenie onto your tongue and "flobbing" it out.
Apologies all.

as long as it isn't on my new rug

It’s called gobbing around here, though not by me obviously as I would never be so uncouth.

Calistemon Sat 20-Nov-21 21:48:35

Oh yes, I have heard that word, used by those less couth than me!

Well after a nice family evening I'm off to bed with a good book. Night Al and deepest apologies.

BlueBelle Sat 20-Nov-21 22:29:49

Whose Al ? Is he related to Sal ?

Calistemon Sat 20-Nov-21 22:36:23

He's my brother, Bluebelle

I’m sorry I don’t understand the title.
Equally sorry that I don’t understand the OP either.
Not sorry about the rug or the whales.
Happy I had three gorgeous grandsons - and their lovely parents - visiting today.
Also happy that one of our daughters-by-choice took us out for a very delicious and somewhat extravagant meal this evening.

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
?

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.

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 23:07:26

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..

Urmstongran Sat 20-Nov-21 23:16:50

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 ???

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
Callistemon

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!

Chewbacca Sat 20-Nov-21 23:41:59

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.

Chewbacca Sat 20-Nov-21 23:43:53

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

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

???

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