fanny you crack me up, you really do (need it after putting DD to bed, lots of wailing and then her coming downstairs and wolfing most of my lush cauliflower cheese)

I'd like you all to know that in just over a fortnight, I have taken a whole minute off my easy pace - at the same heartrate. If I can take off another minute I will be pretty happy with my easy pace and can then start building in faster running....

DrNo has murdered her DH hasn't she? Hope she hasn't strangled him with the Aldi headband I've sent.

Must add that I'm aching like a Virgin on her wedding night. The shred has done me in more than Conwy Cockwatch did.

There's something about Bono that's a bit Judas like. Can't put my finger on it.

should probably just say that Bono and his unfortunate arse are something of a joke in his native country...plus the fact that everyone went right off him because he refuses to pay tax here.

sfx that told you!

We went to a wedding some years ago (schoolfriend of the bride), very fancy but the bride's family clearly loathed the groom and left early. The marriage lasted less than three months. Imagine my surprise to see the groom pop up earlier this year as a contestant on Come Dine With Me!

DH has friends who have married each other twice - married, divorced, remarried Grin.

DebiTheScot · 24/11/2011 19:30

sfx I was wondering what kind of wedding lasts 6 months then I realised you meant the marriage. That's very sad.

possum is younger than me Sad

sfxmum · 24/11/2011 19:03

I watched their performance at Glasto on telly I hasten to add, and loved the old songs, told a friend it was nice to see them reminds me that once they were not shit, she said it is her husbands favourite band particularly since One and they do great humanitarian work, just like Coldplay her favourite band (tongue bled)
yes I am a bad personGrin

monkeyLFDTwench · 24/11/2011 18:56

Yes Rattle and Hum was what I was thinking about. I still liked the music still have all the early albums on vinyl somewhere gathering dust.

sfxmum · 24/11/2011 18:55

monkey you mean Achtung Baby and Rattle and Hum
The Joshua Tree was not too bad considering

monkeyLFDTwench · 24/11/2011 18:51

Oh not the Joshua Tree, you know what I mean - the rockumentary. I went to see it with my first proper boyfriend Hmm shortly before he dumped me.

monkeyLFDTwench · 24/11/2011 18:46

Who mentioned The Joshua Tree? That was like U2 watched Spinal Tap and didn't realise it was a joke.

DP of one of DH's work colleagues saw U2 play at Bracknell Leisure Centre in (I think) 1982 before Bono disappeared up his own arse.

sfxmum · 24/11/2011 18:39

possum do a couple of drafts leave, return, write it up and post/email
good luck

sticky apologies, the 80's had a lot of good music and some monstrosities too

monkey I am a very average 7. 71/2 rarely do I find discounts

fanny go on do tell was it a meringue? I need to know

I seldom go to weddings, the last one I attended took 2 yrs to plan and was over in less 6 months Shock

monkeyLFDTwench · 24/11/2011 18:37
stickyLFDTfingers · 24/11/2011 18:35

oh, I'm always shouting that, anyway, monkey. Helps DD2 identify me when I pick her up from school.

monkeyLFDTwench · 24/11/2011 18:26

Hmm, dunno sticky - maybe if you shout

"WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY FUCKING ROCK AND ROLL!!"

beforehand Smile.

Must show you my picture of me and DH's two enormous nephews while we were waiting to go in, I honestly look like a midget hired for the event.

fanny - was it a meringue though? A big white fluffy meringue? My cousin's wife got married in one of those, it was brilliant - she had this massive foofy headdress/veil thing and a huge poodle perm. Actually not unlike Terry off Brookside Wink!

backward I will be keeping all available extremities crossed for you - when will you know?

monkeyLFDTwench · 24/11/2011 18:20

sfx I just googled the name and model I wanted (Adrenaline 8) then had to wade through the sites to find who had my size - got mine from M and M Direct for £17.99! Unfortunately they tend to only have the very small (up to 4.5) or very large (8-10) sizes, but they delivered very quickly and I was impressed with the price. Might just order myself some more now!

stickyLFDTfingers · 24/11/2011 18:20

oh backward :( - when do you have to have the application in by? Sounds like you need to run!

stickyLFDTfingers · 24/11/2011 18:19

Was it like a retrospective fanny? Wink

Oh Phil Collins Confused I remember the 80s with rose-coloured specs (like when the Joshua Tree came out, that was a good moment) - and forget the hideousness. Til sfx reminds me of course Angry

backwardLFDTpossom · 24/11/2011 18:17

He was 45 when he died, can't believe it's been 20 years. :(

This job is stressing me out already and I haven't even applied for it yet. I need it so much. I have to get this job. Please please please please...

Running club tonight, bit of mad tempo running I suspect. Could be interesting. Will take my mind off the job application.

stickyLFDTfingers · 24/11/2011 18:15

:( Can I be reinstated if I give you my best rendition of "the Ace of Spades"?

Actually, more likely to be reinstated if I don't

sfxmum · 24/11/2011 18:14

bonkers bargain! does anyone know where I can find some Brooks adrenaline cheap?

random Queen related thingy, was watching some singer person at Festival (Newton Faulkner odd very odd following he has) leading a sing along of Bohemian Rhapsody it was actually fun even if I am not exactly a Queen fan
and I am old enough to remember Live Aid, Bono with a mullet, Phil Collins still polluting the airwaves...

I think this must be the most laughable of all the wedding dress colours... I got married in white. BlushGrin

Only in his 40s, not sure exactly.
