Hi Berona. The stories are coming out now. Linda is depraved and Tec is trying to fool us into believing he's a monk.

Good Morning Berona,

What a relief, a sane sober lady arrives at last.

No Berona, I've never had whisky on my cornflakes. what a thought.

Lunch with a four year old sounds great - that should be fun for both of you.

Tec.

Tec? blameless and sheltered existence?

Tec has been a uniformed officer on ships that went to many countries! Enough said!

Berona, stick up for me, they keep picking on me

Berona, I went around the world with my eyes shut tight - honest.

Going into the garden in the wind and rain now - bye.

Tec.

Exactly what did you do on that ship Tec? I hope you weren't steering it

Berona

Berona Report 22 Oct 2010 22:05

Now we know why some boats get beached! Officers with their eyes shut???

Sue - what are you doing to Linda? or what has she done to deserve it?

LindainHerriotCountry

LindainHerriotCountry Report 22 Oct 2010 22:09

I haven't done anything to deserve it Berona.... smiles sweetly

I love Linda but I just think it's her turn to be teased:-))

I don't believe a word Tec says.

Oh dear sue, that has a very unfortunate slang meaning over here

SueMaid

SueMaid Report 22 Oct 2010 22:20

Oh no - have I done it again. I once called someone on here 'nuts' and was told off:-))

I've changed it.

Linda - can you tell us on here what being roasted means?
We use it in a manner meaning that someone has been given a 'dressing down' - or receiving the wrath - usually from a superior.

Does it means something else where you are? You'd better tell us, or we might use it at the wrong time.

Hello everyone ........Berona I hope you have fun at your lunch and Happy Birthday to your little Grandson : ))

I haven't read back through all the thread posts I've missed , what is Linda being teased for ?

LindainHerriotCountry

LindainHerriotCountry Report 22 Oct 2010 22:25

No Berona, I most certainly can't tell you on here, not if you don't want the thread whooshed

Berona

Berona Report 22 Oct 2010 22:27

I've noticed, Sue - that calling someone a 'nutter' doesn't seem to offend like call them 'nuts' does. Perhaps we should ask the Brits to clarify that one too?
They both mean the same to us - so please forgive us if we have offended by using the wrong word.

SueMaid

SueMaid Report 22 Oct 2010 22:28

Oooh - that bad Linda. Sorry:-(

Hi Amanda - how's the tooth? Linda's being teased because I feel like it:-)) She's depraved.

Tecwyn Report 22 Oct 2010 22:29

I'm back..........

I've never heard roasted used as a slang word, is it?

Told you I've led a sheltered life.

It was never my job to steer or navigate a ship - we did once go aground at the entrance to Honolulu Harbour, nothing to do with us, it was the fault of the American Pilot. It did however result in me having a six week holiday in Sydney while ship was in dry dock for repairs. Stayed with Aussie friends who lived on Parramatta Road. Had a great time - no alcohol lol.

Goodness I'm shocked ! .....lol.....and I thought Linda was a piller of society : O

The tooth is being very good Sue ( thank you for asking ) , I wasn't about yesterday as I went to visit a friend and actually had a night away from here .....lol
