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? ?

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 ?

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

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 …

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??

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.

Whose Al ? Is he related to Sal ?

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

Just shows you are never too old to learn.

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!

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 ?

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

But I did find The Woodentops quite scary ?

Sorry ? just realised you asked for a pic of my cardigan. I'll get right onto it.

I loved Bill and Ben and Little Weed also. It's all Peppa Pig now but I do like PP as well. Enough of that.

The rug was delivered at 7am this morning tightly rolled so I've spent a good half an hour ironing the back of it confused it is lovely though, especially for the cost.

Namsnanny Sun 21-Nov-21 11:22:45

Any chance of a pic JaneJudge?

Please can I apologise for preferring Picture Book to all the other Watch With Mother programmes? I feel that an apology is needed because it doesn't seem to have been many other peoples' favourite, so I must be out of order. sad

Ro60 Sun 21-Nov-21 16:02:35

Pingu is my favourite.

Watch with Mother - I liked Andy Pandy - sadly now banned.
Then there was Listen With Mother in the radio either just before or just after.

Calistemon Sun 21-Nov-21 16:08:43

Googling Picture Book ....

Calistemon Sun 21-Nov-21 16:12:26

I was probably too old for Picture Book.
Being of the Listen with Mother era, seeing Bill and Ben on our new TV was very exciting but I can't imagine many 8 years olds getting excited by it these days, they're far more sophisticated.
I liked Andy Pandy too, and loved Muffin the Mule.

Calistemon Sun 21-Nov-21 16:13:59

Oh, I didn't realise! Why?

I still have my Andy Pandy annual in the attic, will I get arrested?

BlueBelle Sun 21-Nov-21 16:26:57

Why’s Andy Pansy banned ?

Mollygo Sun 21-Nov-21 16:32:39

Sorry, I liked Tales of the Riverbank -I can still sing the tune. The daftest thing is in aqua fit, the coach has us doing movements that remind me of the Woodentops’ Spotty dog

Chewbacca Sun 21-Nov-21 17:31:20

Andy Pandy was banned? WHAAATT??? shock What did he do? I'd have thought that he/she/they/them/it would have been a very relevant character in the current culture of gender identity! Poor old Andy. sad

Picture book with Patricia Driscoll was my favourite as well ????????????

Calistemon Sun 21-Nov-21 21:10:30

I can't find anything about Andy Pandy being banned.
