Drops a deep courtsey and leaves this post walking backwards in deference to blue bloodied person! lol

Taken from the Michael Griffiths .... Australia.. thread.

What you after Cyn?

And when did JC get Bloodied?chopped her finger again?

Sorry,but the little red imp seems to be sitting on my shoulder tonight...

Pick ,pick,pick...

Heh, he's the one who raised the kissing cousins, in response to the notion that the hero of Alma might have had offspring though unmarried. ;)

So far we haven't really communicated, that was all through our mutual acquaintance, until she got tired of relaying and exchanged our email addresses.

GRO index tells me he's about a year younger than me. Heck, born same quarter as No.1. Looks like a straight trade, to me.

Cynthia - curtsey/courtsey. Yes, but Michael said he doesn't do c-u-r-t-e-s-y.

;)

whos? ST JUDE? IMPOSSIBLE ,Hes dead and a saint,so he wont be making babies now and doubt he did when alive if he was aiming at sainthood.

I met the queen and she talked to me in 1977 in Sheffield

Me and my mate were hanging off railings in the city centre and she came up to us and said 'be careful not to fall off there'

We laughed and said 'we're areet'

She smiled, not knowing what the.... we'd said

Fans.....I thought JC wanted his babies to be honest!

Speak for yourself Mrs C...

St Antoine de Padoo!

As spoken by a (now deceased) old colleague of mine, a very large French-Canadian woman married to an Italian.

Actually, it's St Antoine de Padou, and I see it's a little place near Rivière du Loup, which is near Trois-Pistoles, where I spent a summer while I was in university, taking French and hanging out with the locals doing ... stuff ... on the big church lawn in the sunshine, gazing out at the St Lawrence. Ah, the good old days.

Anyhow, patron saint of Italy. I live in what's still called Little Italy, although the Italians have long since moved to the suburbs, except when they all drive back in for a funeral or wedding at St Anthony's and block up the intersections with parking, or hold a weekend of obnoxious loud noise and detoured traffic for a festival that long since ceased to be anything but business ...

A marrow is a large zucchini


That blue blood - seems a long way off at moment -

JC.I do hope you have not put it to your "new"buddy quite so early in the relationship that you think his family are all incestuous nuts !

Marrow is a mature Courgette.

Google....IS A GOOD WAY TO LEARN THINGS Sweetpea..:)

And if you think sweet potatoes are hard you need to try Swede !

Ladies curtsey/courtsey Janey. One leg behind t'other and a little dip of the knees.....that's what I did when I met...............you know who!

I will now practise walking backwards when in the presence of greatness.

What's a marrow? I thought it was some kind of squash. So wasn't that rather a redundant meal?

I chopped this morning. For No.1's corned beef hash lunches, taco filling, some more beef stew, some beef saag ... (Beef was on sale at the close store, had to cancel the trip to BFF's house last weekend for chicken and veg at the far store because her obnoxious daughter was about to give birth.)

I have now concluded that sweet potatoes are made of the as yet unnamed hardest substance on earth. And so I dub it carpathium. Because I get carpal tunnel syndrome from chopping them.

No Gins,never found em,and as I was living in a static caravan at the time that was later scrapped while I watched to search for keys in any little crevice (I wanted that b##y key ring)there was no place for them to hide really.
I even tore the sofa apart when I moved out to see if they were in it.
Gone..,just gone !

Pray to him and he will help you..allegedly

I'm partial to a simple forelock tug, myself.

Ginny, if you are going to mock me, at least don't be using my own words. "Snork" indeed.

I shall now try to figure out Michael's "curtesy" ... abysmal spelling, but what was the intended word?

If no bowing, perhaps a little scraping?

I have been introduced to a member of the viscountish line. The clan my gr-grf claimed to come from on the wrong side of someone's blankie. The clan whose surname my gr-grf's sister Ada the Actress had as a middle name, which she and he adopted as their surname. The clan whose unmarried second son, Captain in the Coldstream Guards, died a hero at Alma mere weeks before Ada the Actress was born ...

So far, he seems, um, gobsmacked at the tale of old Ernest, even in my attempt at an abridged version.

Here's my idea. His people had a penchant for marrying cousins. So.

He's just my age. We must marry. That way, if my gr-grf's tale was total bunk, it will have been a prophesy, and the name will be brought legitimately into the family at long last. And if it was truth, we will have carried on the familly tradition of keeping marriage in the family.

Yeah

Like I have lost Peter - where has he gone


Does anyone know


Renes

So...you know like we have St Anthony who finds things. St Christopher who looks after you when you're on a gap year..

Do we have St Bl##dy pain in the butt that nicks things?

I dont live in a huge house....the freezers bigger (almost) than the house....how can you lose somat like that in such a short space

Fans...you never found the keys?

Dea.
It was for 2 of us.
But you can make a roast and pud the right size for 2 tha knows lass.

I did that one night with my car/house keys.

I opened the door and my neighbour was with me,went in and never saw the keys again.
Had a 2 day wait for new keys for car and had to change the lock on the door.
But I was most upset about the key ring as my eldest had given it to me and it had Toady on it with underneath "Toad Rage".
