TM, that Cremant de Loire taste the difference fizz I got is rather nice, just sampling it now. Def better than their usual taste the difference stuff that I dont particularly like.

I bet he daren't say a thing!

I am joining you in the 10 minutes with a coffee.. :D:D

We had an old 'up and over' door and it was inclined to shut itself if there was a lot of wind. I hated it as it was so heavy but DH didn't want to fork out for a new one. He changed his mind the day the bloomin thing fell on his head and knocked him flat out. I had to take him to Casualty to get it stitched and the next day we ordered an electric one - should have done it years ago but men can be stubborn so and so's.

The conversations we have on this thread:rotfl:. You see, when you put it as "f*ing and j*ffing", I read [reed] that as "effing and jeffing", but when you wrote it as above, I read [red] it as "I understood the [and here I would say the actual word but the forum does not let me]":rotfl:. So, your post, which I came in on having not seen the earlier ones that I now have seen, is 'worse' than the original posts. Makes your post quite funny (to me) though:rotfl::rotfl:.

Incidentally, you may write "thx" but I read [reed] that as "thanks". I didn't read it as "I'm good, tee-aitch-ex". Just interesting as to how we (or maybe just myself) read [reed] things.

And apologies for constantly indicating the tense of "read" [reed/red] as it is sometimes unclear when in writing:rotfl:.

Sometimes I get confused and then re-read things. For example, one person on here, several months, was saying in effect that they needed to be told to get their butt out of bed. Unfortunately(?) they replaced a different word than "butt", a word that the forum does not let them use, with four asterisks and then, for at least half a minute, I thought that they were talking about something far worse - it seemed like they had soiled the bed:eek: and were asking to get that out of the bed. I wondered why they would want to do that - then, after having gone via several more severe words, it finally :doh:, dawned on me that they meant the word that they did:rotfl:. So, I got it in the end, after it merely wasting my own time for over half a minute, with me puzzling and puzzling about what they meant, having originally read the four asterisks straight as the 'more severe' suggestion that it directly gave!:rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks, Savvy but I am still no clearer on jeffing.:o
Glad that my post amused you. :beer:
