Strangers are friends you just haven't met, yet. Even when they are baddies and drive science-fiction-y submarines, wearing a smart grey lounge suit.

Morning all.

OOh thanks Maud, just what the doctor ordered.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 17/05/2011 11:03

Ah yes. The doctor.

::Could go on like this all day emoticon::

TheSmallPrint · 17/05/2011 11:19

Well I could also but I will get in trouble, I MUST do some work today.

In the words of [[http://www.richardarmitagenet.com/images/gallery/StrikeBack/album/Episode4HD/slides/ep4hd_022.html I think I'm drowning, asphyxiated, I wanna break this spell that you've created, you're something beautiful, a contradiction, I wanna play the game, I want the friction.

TheSmallPrint · 17/05/2011 11:20

right off to the real world.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 17/05/2011 11:28

Oh, I hadn't heard that one before. I read recently that Muse took inspiration from Queen and I can hear echoes of things like Sheer Heart Attack there. .

Right. Off to collect a parcel from the post office and faff about in the garden as tried and tested housework avoidance technique.

thank you so much, ladies. Despite MN's best efforts to sabotage us, that was a

FGS woman! Will you stop posting this kind of quote in the morning so I stumble across during my lunch break and spend the rest of the afternoon lost in filthy distracting thoughts.

I didn't notice that it should have been Welcome Aboard, Small - Climb Aboard sounded right to me, so the joke worked anyway. It really made me giggle (as did 'gnothi, gnothi, who's there', which I forgot to mention at the time).

So what's occurring today? I have decide to do some actual, y'know, Parenting today and so have done painting with the boy. We used 3 paintbrushes and worryingly I can now only find 1, so I'm sure that in a few week's time I will find asome maky old paintbrush stuck down a sofa somewhere, at which time it will be too late to remove the paint stains.

Glad you enjoyed last night Massive - shame the technical side of things wasn't on top form...(sounds like Gizzy was though Wink!

I nearly had a dReAm last night which I suspect was just about to get interesting when DD woke me up Angry!

Quick off-topic question for Maud - how long does grass seed take to grow? Could I do it on a thick layer of cotton wool or similar like cress (DD's school project and I'm getting a bit carried away!)

DumSpiroSpero · 17/05/2011 12:31

Wos occuring?

Work, housework , homework (DD's), homework (mine)

Hey ho Sad!

PasstheTwiglets · 17/05/2011 12:39

Your homework, Spiro? Are you doing a course or sumfink?

I nearly had a dReAm last night

I dreamed about the party but nothing exciting - I kept dreaming about new namechanges or what jokes to make... sorry you missed out on one though!

SupermassiveLBD · 17/05/2011 12:57

What is going on now? We seem to have lost the pages Sad
Is this what MN was cooking up last night?

SupermassiveLBD · 17/05/2011 12:58

That's funny. they're back, now...

Incidentally what about the new building? any ideas?

OP posts:
ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 17/05/2011 12:59

Spiro - It's the nature of the deRAnged conversation here, I think, that nothing is ever off-topic! You probably could grow gRAss on cotton wool, but it'll be a lot slower than cress. Does it have to be gRAss?

PasstheTwiglets · 17/05/2011 13:05

Can we have the Damerel one next? I forget what it was called though! Was it something about kittens??!?

SupermassiveLBD · 17/05/2011 13:09

Damerel's kittens have lost their mittens...
No, that wasn't it....

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 17/05/2011 13:17

What's new, pussycats?

PasstheTwiglets · 17/05/2011 13:18

LOL, Maud!

I've just run a search and it was called The Lord Jasper Damerel School of Kitten Handling. I love that :)

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 17/05/2011 13:25

As so often, I couldn't find what I was looking for but I did find something else which might be of interest. Hello tiger.

PasstheTwiglets · 17/05/2011 13:27

Rrrrrooooowwww!!
