  • Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes last week! I had lots of cards and a few pressies, and my mum sent me a load of wool for my peg loom. I've created a 6x15in panel in a nice leafy green which is the first one in a bedspread I'm doing for our bed. The chunky stuff weaves up nice and quickly - I did that in a few hours yesterday.

    Back to my birthday for a moment, at work, an event occurred which I will relate for you now - especially for Alfie who will like this one.

    There are approximately 120 people at work over three floors, and I would say women outnumber men 3 or 4 to 1. I'm on the first floor with 40-odd other people. I went to the loo and was sat waiting to tinkle when another lady came into the toilets and went into the other cubicle. She sat down and started going.

    Out of nowhere I let off a massive loud fart.

    The other lady was so surprised that she stopped going. In the meantime, I'd got a fit of the giggles so badly that I was sat on the other loo crying, holding my stomach, unable to speak and apologise or excuse myself. Eventually she managed to restart and finished what she was doing, but I was still giggling so hard I couldn't do anything else. She left, probably thinking what a rude woman I was to fart and not say anything, but I had to wait another few minutes before I could control my laughter enough to go myself.

    I told my mate (also my boss) and she laughed so much she cried too. Nothing funnier than a fart! :rotfl:And no, I still don't know who it was and I'm NOT sending round a general email to say sorry. But if by chance the lady in question reads this site and this thread, I'm really sorry I didn't say anything but I physically couldn't. Please excuse me!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I would go with CTC's idea that the recent tooth out might be at the root of it. ;)

    Have drafted email to *penr*ach saying that as the pole was placed on our land by deception, I want it moved, as they didn't exercise due care & diligence. Besides, it will be in their interests, as I'm about to do fencing and landscaping (good word that, not specific!:)) which will make access from here impossible.

    I'm doing them a favour really! :D

    I thought ladies didn't fart? I'm sure the Queen doesn't.
  • Yes, could well be the tooth, alfie.

    I'm wrapped up on the settee trying to fight off the flu-type bug that's going round. Don't give success much chance :rotfl:
    I was meant to be going into town but no point giving everyone else my germs or freezing & making things worse. Beautifully sunny but really quite cold.
  • Its a sad day:o:o:o

    'Tom' from the good life aka richard briers sp? has died:o:o:o

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Taste changes can be neurological or the result of medicine too. I would run it by the doc if the dentist has no answers.

    My medication makes lots of food I love tastes weird, like black pepper and metal flavoured sherbet. Spices I love are a no no, and lots of fresh fruit and veg is not so nice any more. Bread and butter is ok, but ...I try not to eat much bread, and I miss food with more taste.

    Anyway, all academic today. I think I have a stomach bug...not feeling great. The dry weather seems to be set till the end of the week, so I think I might try with the weedspray.

    Grass growth not to fast for some reason, the last few days, in all this sun...funny, huh? Anyway, if it holds till the weekend I might put my spring /summer season electric fencing up. :)

    We are both getting over this horrid flu, Alex you have my humble sympathies over it, it's not a barrel of laughs! :(

    But we went out into front garden and pruned the bush that was overhanging pavement too much. OH took chair out for me to sit on to do the pruning, and put the green bin by me to take the pruninings.

    Feel like carp still, but hope might get a little stroll around back garden tomorrow. We have crocuses down the end of the garden. We have snowdrops much closer. Just want to have a little walk around it all tomorrow if it isn't raining!

    On the way home the farmer stopped at the hardware store and bought a
    bucket and a gallon of paint. He then stopped by the feed store and
    picked up a couple of chickens and a goose. However, struggling outside
    the store he now had a problem - how to carry his entire purchases
    home.
    While he was scratching his head he was approached by a little old
    lady who told him she was lost. She asked, "Can you tell me how to get
    to 1603 Mockingbird Lane?"
    The farmer said, "Well, as a matter of fact, my farm is very close to
    that house. I would walk you there but I can't carry this lot."
    The old lady suggested, "Why don't you put the can of paint in the
    bucket. Carry the bucket in one hand, put a chicken under each arm and
    carry the goose in the other hand?"
    "Why thank you very much," he said and proceeded to walk the old girl
    home.
    On the way he says "Let's take my short cut and go down this alley.
    We'll be there in no time."
    The little old lady looked over cautiously then said, "I am a lonely
    widow without a husband to defend me ... How do I know that when we get
    in the alley you won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my skirt,
    and have your way with me?"
    The farmer said, "Holy smokes lady! I'm carrying a bucket, a gallon of
    paint, two chickens and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold
    you up against the wall and do that?"
    The old lady replied, "Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket,
    put the paint on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens."...............
