Gets out the first aid kit and brandy to sooth the wounded. I do not remember Enid or Pinkwhistle. Then again there is a lot I don't remember. Off to life class this morning to ogle more bodies, we were promised a new model, oh the excitement.

BeribbonedGibbon · 04/02/2011 09:55

There are just so many mad people about. Not nice, fun and interesting mad. But stompy, horrid, 'I'm so intellectual, admire my deep and interesting observations and rapier wit' blah blah fucking blah mad people

I promised I would never say this place ain't what it used to be. Have said it my head many a time these last few months.

Have awoken with the lurgy firmly pressed against my throat. Yuck.

Aren't I just a little ray of sunshine this morning Wink

JamieLeeCurtis · 04/02/2011 09:58

I have also got the lurgy Gibbon, A big old banging headache and blocked up ears. I may have to retire to the chaise-longue and watch This Morning.

Never mind everyone else- we have had a good craik with Graeme and the swim-floats

BeribbonedGibbon · 04/02/2011 10:02

Lurgy makes everything bleak doesn't it. I have to DD1 to her swimming lesson in a while. Just want to hibernate today. I need to slap myself and jolly myself up. Smile

cock - as I like to call her/him made me laugh yesterday. A perfect example of a troll if ever I saw one.

BeribbonedGibbon · 04/02/2011 10:03

Hope you feel better today James.

Hullygully · 04/02/2011 10:05

Honey, lemon and ginger for you both. And for upper respiratory tract inflammations, I am afraid it is onion steeped in honey overnight and then the liquid to be consumed. Foul, but surprisingly efficacious.

Mini, you intrigue me. You draw naked people and you know not of Enid Blyton. Can this be?

The honey, lemon and ginger sounds perfect for my sore throat. I will do that today.

Did you all have the gales last night?

JamieLeeCurtis · 04/02/2011 10:22

Thankyou - I shall follow your advice - not quite sure about the onions....

Yes, we had gales - I'm in the loft (not in a madwoman-stylee though) and it is disconcerting - not much sleep

Have looked at Mimi's thread - am in awe of your cool-headedness Mimi. Am not sure me piling in would have helped. Swearyness would have come out.

Hullygully · 04/02/2011 10:23

linky link please.

yes gales aplenty

She had him on the back foot

JamieLeeCurtis · 04/02/2011 10:28

Gibbon - do not, under any circumstances bonk DD on the head with a swim-float while you are there

Adieu

Hullygully · 04/02/2011 10:36

Oh god. Can't read that. Read the openings of Mimi onwards and that's enough.

May I be the first to introduce this to our Hall Wine

BeribbonedGibbon · 04/02/2011 12:31

Yay! a wine emoticon, about time Wink

JamieLeeCurtis · 04/02/2011 12:40

bottoms up Wine

Hullygully · 04/02/2011 12:42

Now don't start that, just cos it's Friday.

Ha... drops onto sofa. Hully, I said I was a bit woolly, hahaha rhyming an' all. OHH that Enid. Am dim.(thick emoticon). Blankets and toddies to all who are ailing.

MadameDefarge · 04/02/2011 16:13

Do you think I did ok on that thread? I tried really hard to remain calm and reasoned, but obviously passionate. But he was such an aggresive arsehole! MNHQ did delelte some of his posts tho.

minimammoth · 04/02/2011 16:32

Mimi you were brilliant. very clear. and brave to stand up and not let him get away with it. I read some of it, but not all of his posts, I think he was unable and unwilling to see the other side and the child protection point of veiw. I'm behind you.

BeribbonedGibbon · 04/02/2011 16:34

You did great Mimi, you always do.

I Envy your calm and reason. I tend to resort to calling the person a cocking fuckwit and I lose all credibility.

JamieLeeCurtis · 04/02/2011 17:50

Mimi - you were brilliant. I think that you were exactly that - impassioned but very clear, logical. I think it became obvious that he'd run out of polite argument.

Really interesting you were coming from such different places and he was unable, in the end to see your POV. It shook him a it, I think

JamieLeeCurtis · 04/02/2011 17:51

bit

Hullygully · 04/02/2011 17:54

But bet you were superb anyway.

I think gray gray took my advice in that thread about giving you and your large feet a wide berth.

I have claimed him for my own in my make believe world.
