Good bye answerbank

[mibn2cweus]

Since Naomi will not give me the ****ing key I have decided to follow Jesus and be a Christian just like Theland. I am ashamed of my past history here so I'm going to devote the time I used to spend on ab to reading the Bible. No question really because I no longer care about what people think. I'll get all my answers from God from now on thank you.

[Theland1]

Miss Marple! How deudicious of you to spot the fermulocational extragentisis of Starmans trail of unoprotectious droppings on his flamglorious tripalogren path through our minds.
Not so clever after all methinks!
It's therefore not so much what he says as what he denies by his silence.
He's never denied wearing frocks, so we could assume that he shares my passion for dressing up at the weekend, and armed with a handbag, bucking up the courage to go into the local takeaway and order fish and chips!
Male - adult - dresses in frocks on saturday evenings - likes fish and chips - good at English (even when I can't understand those big words he uses!)

[Theland1]

I've got the lads of to school / work and having supped the last three bottles of Stella left over from last night, I am off back to bed, hopefully to remain there until about 2pm, ready for the fray of them returning home. I'm back at work tomorrow, (yuck), and have enjoyed my break away from that hellhole.
Ah blissful sleep, here I come.
Maybe not get back here for a while, but i'm OK, honestly.
China and Luna - best wishes with your house hunting and meanng of life hunting respectively.

[naomi24]

Maybe not get back here for a while? Oi Theland! This is your project. Don't leave me in charge. I'm just an innocent bystander!

[mibn2cweus]

Theland, Swat the beehive and run like hell leaving the limping damsel with only her charm and wit with which to fend for herself. Your only defense is that perhaps you know me better than you concede and that your knowledge of Naomi's abilities to hold her own are based much more on experience than on faith . . . pie monster

[naomi24]

Well, I've used the corkscrew, the key to the wine cellar, the key to China's chastity belt, Luna's spoons, and I've even borrowed a crowbar from one of Theland's friends who steals wheels from cars in darkest Liverpool, but I can't get into your link, Starman. Looks like I'll have to get baking again. (Do wheel-stealers use crowbars? No, surely not. Burglars with stripey jumpers, masks over their eyes, and bags marked 'Swag' slung over their shoulder use crowbars, don't they?). Theland! Have you been mixing with the hoi polloi again?

Starman, Am I the only one here who doesn't know you as well as Theland doesn't concede he does? (Reading that back, it's pure and utter gobbledegook - but I know what I mean). :o)

[naomi24]

Oh, meant to say, I loved Keyplus' shaking table with the wobbling bibles tumbling off it. You are probably right, Starman - perhaps it didn't shake enough. Ha!

[mibn2cweus]

Naomi, My knowledge of Mahjong is such that it's all I can do to attain an eruption.

[Theland1]

I don't know about Mahjong, but there is a cracking little pub called, "Ma Edgertons," just behind the Empire theatre in Liverpool. It rocks.
I'd rather play Ma Edges!

[Theland1]

I recall that mibs once slept rough in cars and under canal bridges, before taking the path to success and enlightenment.
That much he told us. Thank you Mibs.
The obvious question is, "Why?"
A truly human story that would interest us, and from which we all could probably learn?

[Theland1]

Also, parents, or our memories of them as the case may be, are such an important part of out makeup that it would be nice to know about each others parents; how we got on with them, what they believed, what they did for a living etc etc.

or don't you think so?

I'm willing.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours?

Surely their views would be of immense importance in moulding our own?

Or maybe I'm wrong ......... again!

Speak soon hopefully.

[naomi24]

Starman, a man struggling to attain an eruption is not my kinda guy at all. I expect nothing less than instant results. Kapow!! Still, practice makes perfect, as 'they' say, so do keep up the good work. Come on now. Must try harder! ;o)

Theland, I'll agree with you that it's difficult to get to know someone if you know nothing whatsoever about them, but Starman doesn't want to give us his life history - and neither would I.

I would like to know Starman better - he's a constant enigma to me - and occasionally I conjure up all sorts of images of him in my mind wondering what he's like - but having said that, think about it. He's a private person, so how does he know he can trust any of us not to blab openly on AB? I take it for granted that anything passing between ABers on PMs or in private emails will remain totally and utterly confidential. However, others don't necessarily think the same way. Things I've mentioned in emails have subsequently emerged on AB, and because I'm such a stickler for confidentiality, that has surprised me. It's nothing I mind people knowing - I wouldn't tell anyone anything I really minded people knowing - but nevertheless personal aspects of my life that I had assumed would remain confidential have not. Silly me.

I don't blame Starman one bit - even if it is frustrating for us nosey parkers.

[naomi24]

continued .......

I could never do what you do. Theland, and tell all. It's good for you, it's therapeutic, and it works for you, but it would be so bad for me. It would expose my fragile vulnerability - and that's something I don't like to do - even though it doesn't live very far below the surface. I keep my private life private, even in real life. To give you an example, a while ago I was speaking to a family member to whom I've been very close all my life - and it transpired during the conversation that she didn't know why I'd divorced my first husband, because I had never told her. Now, bearing in mind I've been married for almost 20 years to my second husband, I'll bet you find that very odd indeed. To tell the truth, it even surprised me - but knowing me, I really don't know why it should. It's about par for the course.

[mibn2cweus]

Naomi, Trying harder sometimes ain't good enough, such as in the face of a stubborn child. Sometimes you just have to try again . . . later. The domain for that link may have been napping.

[naomi24]

'Seek and ye shall find'. Ha! What bunkum! Fat chance. I've sought, and I've sought again - and the link tells me that the pie monster is not to be found. What is the pie monster, Starman. Rip Van Winkle? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[mibn2cweus]

To all concerned (and with special regards to Naomi): The link in question is to a Picasa based image I selected from a Google Image Search. Access for me is seamless, even from the link posted above. I was not aware of the possibility that one might need to jump thru any hoops to access it when I posted it and offer my apologies for any and all difficulties and aggravation this has caused you, an apparent inconvenience far in access of any merits inherent in the image.

[naomi24]

Aha! That's hit the spot. Thank you Starman.

Theland, you've had a couple of custard pies this week, so how about a Cranberry Orange pie for a change? We've got one waiting if you fancy that. ;o)

[naomi24]

What's up Luna? Come on, spill the beans. It could help you know.

[naomi24]

Wot no Luna?

Luna, get your bottom back in here and tell us what's up, otherwise there'll be a wellie on its way up your High Street!!
