A kid in my class was doing a show and tell today, it was a box with a tiny, and fragile, hinge. I told the class she couldn't pass it round because of this part and asked if anyone knew what it was called. The answer came - 'inge'. 'You're almost right,' I said, 'but you have missed a letter off at the beginning.' - I asked if anyone knew the complete word.
And the answer came back...
'minge'

And I've made some raspberry & blackcurrant jam (fruit from the garden)
Hope everyone is ok; welcome to all the newbies

Place still looks a tip
Need some of that wet stuff sent down here, please. Had 3 drops on the way home from bass practice and that was the lot.
The Bloke has been invited by DD2 to come and see her parrot debut. He was frantically trying to service the brakes on his car today to try and be ready to drive up. She has also invited him for the rest of the week 'seeing as you're going out with Mummy on Friday and I'm at my Dad's anyway until Sunday night, you may as well keep her busy'.
Have arranged with Mother to abandon DD on her on 27th for Madness - seemed a bit unfair to expect NN to have her overnight, especially as she will be looking after the cats for at least the following week, if not 2 (if we disappear off to Paris for the week as planned). Bloke's brother is dropping in over here for a flying visit (I think he is going to tell his Mum about the gold disc in person - I only know because I can sort of understand French a bit - so the Bloke is under strict instructions not to mention it to his mum in case that is what his brother is intending to do) - she hasn't said a word about it, and if she knew, sure as eggs is eggs, it would be screamed from every rooftop and the whole of Kent, Sussex and Surrey would know by now.
Maybe I'd better vacuum around the comatose cats.I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -
