[VINNY100_2]

Or should I buy a pad in punta extapa. (:o)

[shaneystar2]

Oh, give me gin
Lots of gin under starry skies above.....
Just singing to myself while I make a chs sarnie ....

Hope you are all OK and surviving the dodgy dinners and flooded dishwashers .
Nothing to report from Norfolk where after a brilliant sunny day yesterday it's turned damp.
I hope you enjoy Nella Last neti .
If you like that sort of thing you might like Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky .I thought it was brilliant .
I am going to watch Rebus shortly and then take my bones off to bed ...take care all .
Oh yes it's friday night ..I had quite forgotten ...
Don't burn the toast please Vinny and make sure you lock the back door ..you know what happened last time ........

[netibiza]

He he shaney what happened last time? Did El Vinny escape???

[Robinia]

morning...well I think it is, it was sooo dark when I chimed at 6.30....thought it was still the middle of the night. Amazed I slept at all really. I've got the bl00dy lurgy back again :o(....I think I'll start partaking of the gin with you shaney

Kit did jno have a face in your dream?...haha...I imagine her as a giant slipper with designer teeth as that's all we have to go on. From now on she'll have gold teeth tho'.
The funniest 'women's things' story I heard (look away Vinny) was when Janet Street-Porter said she knew a man who thought you put s.t. pads on with the sticky side to your body....noooooo...hahaha.....

you can come out now Vin....

oi, whatchoodooin in there?!

[netibiza]

Robi that reminds me of when my daughter was about 20 months old and one day she came out of the bathroom with a - (Turn away now Vinny) - self adhesive ST stuck to the back of her trousers, she'd seen me - ahem using them and thought she'd try - thank heavens she didn't try the Tampax.

[Robinia]

hahaha, lol neti...how many times have you reminded her about it?

apparently, yep, Vinny, you know the drill when they were small, my ex & his friend marched through the living room full of visitors with tampax tied to the end of sticks.... :o)

I never had any problems like that with my two but when they were about 2 & 4 they did make each other up with blue eyeshadow, blusher & lipstick. Scary thing was they'd got it in all the right places ....

[shaneystar2]

I used to get mud pies of talcum powder and water smeared along the bathroom windowsill and when you used to take them into the Ladies when they were little you got leading questions about the machines . I used to say they were tissues ! The biggest laugh was when I was in the ladies and some woman came out and didn't wash her hands and a loud voice yelled out " wash your hands or you'll get germy measles "!

[maggie321]

When I was about 6 years old I had a birthday party and two of the boys found some of my mother's st''s and looped them round their ears as masks to play cowboys and indians. I can't remember my mum's reaction. I know she never forgot it.

[netibiza]

Oh maggie my sisters and I did that also, thought we were being doctors!!

[Robinia]

hahaha....lol shaney & maggie brilliant!

morning tout, tis gloomy here again....think I need one of those wake up light gizmos to stop me getting SAD.

I can't smell any burnt toast, where's Vinny?
you haven't been sticking those new beams up with double sided sellotape have you?
:o/

[Jude123]

Morning Biddyfriends Hope you are all well. Well as we're talking about not 'much talked about things' I don't know whether I dare tell you this but here goes anyway. When I was a kid I was nosing aroung in my Mum and Dad's bedroom and I found this long narrow tin about 6 inches long, and I being the nosy so and so I am, I opened it. I hadn't the faintest idea what it was but it was a cream long thing in talcum powder. When I got older I found out that in those days you could get washable reusable condoms. Ugh! I've come over all embarrassed now!They weren't very good at using it cos they went on to have a son when my Mum was 46 lol!
Have a good day <a> All :o)

[netibiza]

Wow never heard of those thingies!

[DaSwede]

What, still no Southern Comfort? Aw Vinny why are you holding out on your best girls, it's not right, come on, buy us a night on the town! You wear your finest fragrance, Shaney wears hers and if by chance they've fixed that 46 million pound bridge we'll help you demolish it all over again, come on, it'll be fun. We can afford it, can't we? Vinny? if we ask nicely?

Ha ha Jude, did it come with a users' manual written in Latin, like this one did? Lund is very close to where I originally come from, so this one may have belonged to one of my ancestors. Er... if they didn't use one either. Now I'm confused.

Back a little later.

[maggie321]

Is Southern Comfort a sort of condom that cockneys use down south?

[Jude123]

I'm beginning to wish I'd never brought the subject up now!! :o)

[DaSwede]

No more Southern Comfort Whisky for your friend, Jude. Here, Maggie, have a cuppa instead.

Okay, so much for asking nicely. There will now be a new set of ground rules instead. Starting tomorrow everyone who owns a cyber machine will punch in daily, no matter what. There will be no more lame excuses, such as /looks sardonically at Neti/ "I was swept off by a tornado", or "they don't have computers in the rest of the world" (jno), or "Why I'm right here but you ladies have me so charmed I cannot speak" (you know who).

Applications for leave will be justly considered by Miss Robinia - and incidentally Miss Robinia herself will stay put from now on. Deserters will be brought back to headquarters and made to listen to the gruesome Swedish herding call on a loop until they are properly meek. Are we clear?

[DaSwede]

To answer your question Robinia I did see the face of jno. I can't tell you any more than this. Oh go on, ask me again. Well. jno was inside some kind of tiny hut preparing busily for one of those monetary missions but stuck her/his head out the doorway (tortoise-like image!) to describe the nature of the expedition. (jno, this will teach you not to leave us alone!) I found this dream so funny partly because I haven't imagined jno like that at all, except for the company name being an abbreviation (I have indeed pictured jno working for the BBC or some other kind of media institution.)

As for the hut, I think that may have symbolized a computer, as we all live in computers, if you see what I mean. Btw, do y'all dream in black & white or in colour and do you dream bits and pieces or more like coherent plots?

Bye for now. Vinny you are okay aren't you?

[jno]

pom pom pom... well, a fortnight in the sun... temperatures 80 or above pretty well every day, gloriously sunny... of course the heatwave (and even the Americans thought it was a heatwave) slowed down the fall foliage a bit while bringing out the pumpkin crop too soon, but we did get up into the Green Mountains and the White Mountains and saw some gorgeous colours over the last few days... I shall get some pictures sorted... motel rooms about $60 a night - that's per room, so I squeezed some of the servants in as well... big steak dinners about $20, half that for a nice chicken caesar salad... $2.50 a gallon of petrol (slightly smaller than our gallons)... and all that at $2 to �1. God bless Gordon Brown, I say. Oh, and we went whale watching and a baby leapt into the air right next to our boat. Whee!


Baby whale, obviously. About 20ft long.
