This morning I took the twins swimming.

This morning I took the twins swimming.

Their lessons not doing them much good. My ex has been taking them : but not swimming with them as she cannot swim.

Their performance has been suffering.

But I have taken them twice this weekend and they are getting better.

Yeah, like you don't...

People don't post drivel there - just word associations, in effect it is a game that works

[AtW]

If drivel was moderated your posts would be the first to go

HTH

I'd agree to a deal of this thread deleted and all my posts too...

Afternoon denizens

Home again

My Mum always insists on trying to overburden my car with food when I return home after Christmas. This year, apart from the usual large quantity of fruit and tinned goods, she was proposing to give me a duck and some fillet steaks - I was particularly looking forward to the steaks, as she gets them from the Chatsworth farm shop, and they're absolutely excellent

Having carted in the three bags of food from the car and unpacked them, I found she'd forgotten both the duck and the steaks

Tin of beans for dinner then

The mildly annoying thing is that I came past Sainsbury's as I came off the motorway - I usually drop in there on my way home from a journey, and I remember thinking, as I came down the slip road, "No, you need to get in the other lane - there's no need to go shopping with all that food in the boot"

Is it just me that thinks that



is actually one of the friendliest of all the smilies?

I always think of it as rolling its eyes up, and tutting slightly as it says "Bless..."

It strikes me as a forgiving smiley - it recognises our minor idiocies, but forgives us, rather like a mother tolerating the imbecilic actions of a toddler that she knows will one day become an intelligent adult

FWIW, I often use it in that spirit in my own posts - quite often, referring to my own posts

Like that

I think EternalOptimist (or the potato thief, as tay and only tay would call him) does the same.
