glassortwo Fri 13-Jan-12 21:36:15

jeni ?

jeni Fri 13-Jan-12 21:44:16

glass honest. Earnest lady on sky news talking said that pancreatic cancer could be very fatal. Surely something is fatal or not? .?tortology

jeni Fri 13-Jan-12 21:45:32

Or did I mean tautology? iPad can't spell andm neither can I!

bagitha Fri 13-Jan-12 21:46:37

Oh well, better to be safely dead than sorry dead, eh? I wonder if she blushed after she'd said it and swore at herself for a dimwit?

jeni Fri 13-Jan-12 21:56:04

baggy don't think so, seemed one of those very earnest types. She was on about some Nordic survey which showed that more than one sausage or slice of bacon or salami gave an increase in ca pancreas. Really what can we eat these days?

bagitha Fri 13-Jan-12 21:59:07

Sigh! Oh well, I stopped seriously listening a long time ago to all the rules about what to eat and what not to eat. It just seems to get dafter and dafter all the time.

jeni we would be better sticking to you egg white omeltte, but then Edwin would have something to say about that grin grin

bagitha Fri 13-Jan-12 21:59:59

Edwin who?

glassortwo Fri 13-Jan-12 22:00:35

Oh that buck fizz............... that should say Edwina.

bagitha Fri 13-Jan-12 22:02:50

Is she still around and still talking. Hell's bells!

jeni Fri 13-Jan-12 22:03:37

Ah, that lady who had an affair with John major. Should he be on the heart throb list?

glassortwo Fri 13-Jan-12 22:04:45

Who would with John Major

jeni Fri 13-Jan-12 22:06:46

She did f,rom what I remember reading. He was rather sweet! Needed mothering!

glassortwo Fri 13-Jan-12 22:08:58

No sorry jeni I think I would have to be desperate. Got to be something to do with the power cant see it myself. grin

jeni Fri 13-Jan-12 22:11:32

No he looks unhappy! Poor soul.

Annobel Fri 13-Jan-12 22:30:28

Did someone call Edwina a lady? In your dreams!

absentgrana Sat 14-Jan-12 12:27:24

I should think that being slightly dead would be fairly unique.

Annobel Sat 14-Jan-12 12:44:12

absent grin

Zephrine Sat 14-Jan-12 13:06:55

I have a dead leg sometimes, would that count as slightly dead?

supernana Sat 14-Jan-12 13:37:09

As hard as I try, I cannot imagine Edwina and Major in the throws of unbridled passion. Surely Edwina wouldn't allow him get a word [or anything else] in edgeways...wink

jeni Sat 14-Jan-12 13:47:14

spernan edgeways? Is this a variation on the missionary? And does it work with replacement hips?

supernana Sat 14-Jan-12 14:03:55

jeni Well now, that would be telling...grin
