I had absolutely no anomosity towards Mewbie and occasionally he did bring forward some points for consideration and discussion.

Far too often he derailed topics though

You quickly backtracking ISTL?



Hope all OK with you Sue.

And those helping to bring new life into the world (re lambs and chicks).....


I have good news to share......but want to post on LJ's thread first as he may be made redundant and I have to eat now so later I will make time.

Mewbie, Mr Brown.....and which number would he be on my Babe chart? I wonder....

To be labelled Babeliscious is only for a select few and a secret.

Happy birthday Sue :bdaycake:

Right, enough of this niceness, off to kick the cat

Nope, mewbie occasionally brought valid points for discussion, far to often he derailed threads with his attempt at humour, especially if the topic was not swaying to his linking.

The derailing may have been the point rather than the 'joke' itself. A person of perhaps limited intelligence, attempting to win an argument with nothing more powerful than a pun. But then, did not Chaucer himself in "Anne of Green Gables" write that the pun is mightier than the sword (or latest stats from the CML).

Historical note - I believe that Chaucer was rather jealous of Shakespeare and his preaching on and on about sonnets, so as he lived on a farm and did a bit of poetry himself he called them punnets. I hope next time you buy some strawberries you will think of Chaucer. I know I will.

It doesn't matter now.. as per the note I left on wageslave's 'I miss mewbie and want to marry him' thread, which was unsuprisingly moved to site feedback.. mewbie is definitely posting elsewhere, and has left this board for good.

Glad to hear you're getting some support. Lucky for your kids that your parents have such a lovely neighbour and that your mil is helping out too.

In terms of mobility aids, there are all the zimmer-frames, rails attached etc things that are handy too. I suppose you'll just have to see what is appropriate when the time comes, but there is a huge range of useful stuff out there. In terms of help, it does sound like your mum is going to need some assistance, even if just short term till your dad is able to help her. Though I have no clues on how to persuade her of this...not easy to do.

Hope you're OK, Sue.

My parents are now waiting for social services to come round and assess the house, at the very least, dad is going to need grab rails for the stairs and toilet...at the moment he is ok going up (he crawls up) but coming down he has to have someone walk in front and he has one hand on the bannister and the other on the shoulder of the person in front.....he calls out 'strolling' from the top of the stairs for someone to come up and do it :rotfl:

He'll probably need the bathroom adapting too as they have an old fashioned high sided bath which he will really struggle to get into and out off, they do have a shower fitted but it is over the bath.

But he is one of the most annoying sick people you could ever know, he just will not sit down and take it easy, he wants to be there greeting people at the door (and almost going base over apex into the bargain), seeing people off or just generally wanting to wander, it is driving my mum barmy...he even wanted to walk round and get his paper this morning (he wouldn't have even manage half up the street, let alone up the road, along the sea front and then down to the shop and back) and was like a petulant child when told he couldn't. In the end a compromise was reached and he was driven to the shop but he insisted on getting out and wandering around there too.

On a brighter note, his writing has improved...it was starting to become spidery and old man ish, in my birthday card, it was back to the writing of years ago! :rotfl:

Could you please please please cheer us all up with some pics of baby lambkins?

I love them - keep driving past them at the moment, and they are so adorable; I just want to pick them all up and cuddle them.

Um, unlikely to be able to at the moment, due to having 'lent' digital camera to brother quite a while ago... but it looks much like

Awwww, that is so cute, little tail wagging wildly as it's fed.

I want one! Or several!


Oh, I'm getting all maternal over a sheep...
