The best things come in small packages.
But not always wink

That's a whole different ball game!

Rod Stewart’s Essex home was next to our friends farm in Epping
(recently sold to a footballer) Mr.Stewart is an absolute gentleman, just one of the locals
Money and height may affect some, but surely personality and heart wins through.

It's a shame they are both so short

How very dare you!!! What's wrong with being short?!!! ???

MissAdventure Sat 31-Jul-21 22:35:21

Are you a short and curly?

Kelly Jones is hardly blonde or in his 50s

Zoejory Sat 31-Jul-21 22:50:27

Kelly is 5ft5! He must be seen as being quite tiny. But the eyes have it. Who cares if he is small in stature.

don't let the devil take another day smile

How will he afford the school fees? Maybe he’ll retire to spend more time with his family. Hopefully.

Don’t some men refer to their accoutrement as their Johnson ?

Is it something to do with DH Lawrence, or have I made that up?

Lincslass Sun 01-Aug-21 07:32:42

Yes., good baby news, The addition of a little one is good news indeed. Whoever it involves.

They do indeed. I know a Willy Johnson. Twice blessed but alas short in stature.

Carrie’s pregnancy is headline news on some of today’s newspapers.
Widespread praise for her honesty in disclosing the sad news of her miscarriage early in the year.
She and Boris have had a pretty traumatic time of it as she also contracted covid when pregnant with Wilfred, plus of course she would have been incredibly worried when Boris was so seriously ill in hospital.

I, along with most people wish them well with this happy news.
She is aware how blessed she is to be pregnant again.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 01-Aug-21 11:28:51

Totally agree jennifereccles

I think that was john Thomas…

Lucca Sun 01-Aug-21 11:31:32

For the record, as I understand I’m classed as a raving lefty for not approving this current government and the actions of our PM, I am very pleased that Carrie is pregnant particularly as she suffered a miscarriage. My only comment early on was why three threads about it and just how much can you say ?

FannyCornforth Sun 01-Aug-21 11:34:03

Ah yes, thanks Lucca

I was barking at the wrong end of the stick (as my dad’s wife once said)

FannyCornforth Sun 01-Aug-21 11:37:19

With reference to your comment of 11.31 Lucca
‘And just how much can you say?’
To that I would add, anything of any interest would be labelled ‘unkind’ and / or deleted! smile

BlueSky Sun 01-Aug-21 12:32:35

Agree Jennifer. Must have been so worrying being pregnant last year when Covid was an unknown enemy, and Boris so ill with it. She obviously wants a short gap in her children’s ages.

Ellianne Sun 01-Aug-21 13:04:58

The reason this announcement was brought up as three different threads is possibly because the thread titles weren't specific enough. Most of the politics/news threads bear the name of the person to be discussed in the title .. Boris, Farage, Javid, Harry etc so there is no confusion from by glancing through the topics.

I'm not criticising MissAdventure because she made it clear in the first post.
Just thinking how minds work.
