Feeling very guilty about the train journeys I have enjoyed thanks to the people I enjoyed sharing conversations with.

Me, too. I have had so much pleasure from the interesting stories I've heard and inconsequential chats I've had with strangers on trains, buses boats,etc; also in coffee shops when there aren't enough tables to go round and I've had to share.

My mother told me never to talk to strangers, but since I never did what my mother told me when she was alive I have no intention of changing now!!

Yes, I am careful and only speak to people if I am surrounded by others. Have rellies who work in law enforcement so I get dos and don'ts from them.

Bright sparkley sunshine here. Everythings looking so pretty today!

Hi all, I've had some lovley chats on the train BUT I have also had every nutter under the sun. As I always flew to my overseas work destinations on my own (as the only Scot) I often got sat next to the drunk man! I have a follproof way of dealing with them though. Earphones in, pretend to read a mag. They tend to try to engage me in chat twice but with the huffing and puffing I do about taking my earphones out and pulling my eyes away from my fascinating article they rarely bother me a third time!

When I flew home from the ship once my heart sank as I realised my seat was next to the 'ship nutter' from the final cruise who I'd been joking about sitting with before I boarded. When I saw that he was ACTUALLY sat next to my seat number I quietly told a crew member that I worked for the ship and he was a loon and she told me to back into the nearest extra legroom seat and not say a word. As a result I swang my legs all the way home (I'm 5'0) and was sat next to a lovely couple!!!

Bitsy! Ladygarden - I love it

Ladygarden :rotfl:

I used to work in a pharmacy, and some of the expressions people used when wanting to buy products for their ladygardens were quite hilarious.. I remember a new girl in the shop being really confused by a lady telling her that she needed something for her daughter who had "a sore flower"!

Probably my favourite though was a very old lady who came in and asked me for "some of that cream that I get". She couldn't remember the name so we went through a long guessing game about what cream she wanted. We went through "is it in a tube, or a tub?", "what colour is the packet?" and so on, "what is it for?" (she wasn't quite sure but she said she really needed it), and then eventually I asked "where is it for?" - to which the very loud reply (and I will try to reproduce her accent here - we were just outside Edinburgh) was... "IT'S FER MA FANNY!!" :rotfl:

I really don't know how me and the pharmacist managed to keep straight faces - apparently I was this colour

I'm back! Hurray! That was an epic!! He demanded blood from me - which he got by stabbing and squeezing the top of my finger!

He's changed me from the normal pill to the mini-pill after reading out loud the list of side effects for both, and deciding that the mini pill was slightly better. He said he didn't like prescribing the injection - and only recommended it for people that couldn't remember to take a tablet every day!!!!

Sadly, he also said that mum would probably never go back to work, and is at high risk of another stroke due to where it was in her brain. Good. More to worry about

He suggested that coil thing, I should imagine my face said it all!

I asked when I could have my hystericalectomy and he laughed...!

WELCOME TO THE WORLD SASKIA! How jolly exciting

No no no, it's not a ladygarden, it's a front bottom!

When we were children, mum used to call it a middle, and my gran went for fairy.

How jolly peculiar!
