    I speak a little bit like Kirstie. Its softened A LOT over the years though. I also have a tnedancy to pick up local influences: drives my parents mad. In fact, my childhood accent is what got me sent ''home'' to boarding school.




    Best thing about relocating to Brighton during Teen Daughters formative years is the SE London accent has GONE..WAy hay:D

    I speak a little bit like Kirsties illigetimate sister. I have softened it a lot and dropped the local influences. My mother despairs, all her children got educated and went posh

    I went walking through the forest near my old house a few years ago. I cut across a field and as I entered the field I noticed in the distance there was a horse on it's own at one side of the field.

    I made my way across the field in a direction away from the horse. About halfway across I stopped and looked back and saw the horse standing nibbling at some straw but it was alot closer then before.

    I started back up the field looking back every now and then. Each time I turned around the horse would be standing there, a little closer but I wouldn't actually catch it following me. This went on across the field.

    I finally made it to the other side of the field and climbed over the fence. Once over I looked back and there was the horse, standing at the fence just behind me......


























    .....with a MASSIVE ERECTION!

    Did you take him up on the offer? It would be rude not to after he made all that effort stealthily creeping up on you...

    Point taken. Good job you thanked it - no one else did. Last time I go in the MoneySavers with my 'jokes'.

    Er.. and in my defence, because I was trying to remember what possessed me to do such a 'Fungus style' post. Anyway - in my defence - someone in the Moneysavers had done a long and very boring thread, with hundreds of replies and thankyous titled "My Cat Brought in a Bird". So I thought "I'll have some of that". Except I didn't.
