I'm just going to apologise for tomorrow's Roundup

I've REALLY buggered about with lots of your quotes

You know, for coherency mainly: you say "It" when REALLY the paragraph needs it to say "TK Maxx" or it makes no SENSE or "Her" and it REALLY must say "Your mother"

So basically I'm making it up and I'm apologising now

Hope that's okay

I'm in a rush now because there is a massive storm and the lights and flickering

As long as it has the flying rats in it doesn't really matter....

SolidGoldBrass · 25/06/2009 22:09

My brother got struck by lightning leaning on the doorframe...

LundyBancroftatemyhusband · 25/06/2009 22:09

the only reason i ever got into a round up.. was because I had a bloody omlette stuck up my nose!

must have been a slow week!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 25/06/2009 22:05

it is really a crap idea to leave computers on, and tellys.

Neighbours all had fried computers, tellies and phones a couple of years ago when we had a hit nearby. Our stuff was fine.

And.... don't lean against radiators to watch storms. Can testify personally to that one. Was a shocking experience

MaureenMLove · 25/06/2009 22:01

I know you've already gone, what with the storm and that, but I just wanted to say, I think your Roundups are so bloody fantastic, you can do what you like if it makes it even funnier.

AitchTwoOh · 25/06/2009 21:57

i thangyew.

hunkermunker · 25/06/2009 21:55

LOL at the Hunker-flushing - you've done it again, Aitch

SolidGoldBrass · 25/06/2009 21:54

Turn your computer off, MP. Or the Thunderpixies will get in and bugger up all your files...

(Actually, does anyone know if it's truly ot a good idea to leave computers on during thunderstorms? I was told that this could be Baaaad and when one of my old machines up and died for no reason I did suggest to the bloke in the computer shop that a lightning strike had somehow travelled up the cabling and eaten a dataprocessor or somesuch. He looked at me with a bit of a smacked-arse face and said 'Well it will be £20 to fix it...)

poorbuthappy · 25/06/2009 21:54

you have my permission to make up a quote for me as I long to be in the weekly roundup!
Just fill in any old gap...

Thunder! Lovely, its bloody hot here too and would like a slight break from it (am in garden in pjs scaring the neighbours!)

GodzillasBumcheek · 25/06/2009 21:52

LOL...you're all arse kissers innit

you'd never get me doing something like that

TrillianAstra · 25/06/2009 21:51

MP - thunder sounds pretty exciting, it's very hot and muggy here, needs a good storm. (plus is traditional for this time of year)

FAQinglovely · 25/06/2009 21:51

well I'm not bothered - as I am never in it either

differentID · 25/06/2009 21:50

Kitten, you're welcome to the bloody things! I hate them.

TrillianAstra · 25/06/2009 21:50

I'll come to your quiche diff.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 25/06/2009 21:49

wish we had a storm!

diffID, me too! I just don't understand why my riveting weather posts don't make it in!

weegiemum · 25/06/2009 21:48

I'd like to be able to write something witty/sarcastic/smarmy enough to get in the roundup but basically thats never going to happen unless you quote this

MrsMcCluskey · 25/06/2009 21:48

Yes BIWI you are only 'quite funny'
you obv need to try harder!!!

TrinityRhino · 25/06/2009 21:47

OOOOOO OOOOOO I'm all excited
OOOHHH thats soooo cool
I do apologise I missed it

I'm sorry

differentID · 25/06/2009 21:46

I've never been in there either.

Maybe we should start a quiche?
