I had an obese mum land her entire body weight on my right knee yesterday as the bus we were travelling on jolted forwards - I was already sitting with ds, she had just got on with her husband and toddler. She apologised and even gave my knee a quick pat.

I woke up in pain today. There were plenty of handles to hold onto (it was a very modern bus) and def not overcrowded. I had intended to run many important errands today though I cannot do this anymore as it would be too painful. I am fuming.

Obese + clumsy = do not travel by bus ??

Like a Dillie.

Hully - is that a reference to the Famous Travelling Prostitute?

Hullygully · 01/04/2011 17:52

It wasn't her fault - The Neapolitans had nicked her chair and she couldn't find Hustler

I see her flying downhill in one of those Madeiran baskets. She hoicks in johns on the way with a crook.

Blue Dillie? I googled something similar on a thread the other day. It clears up nicely with treatment apparently

"deranged fan of his band"

Now come on, lovey. The Worzels don't have fans nowadays.

I don't have a kaftan. Can I wear a nightie?
Got lots of candles but most of all I've got the love (but I'm a bit pissed and may revert to aggressive drunk). Maybe.Wine

funny post! I had similar reaction to larger sized lady when i was in labour with a canula... The (heavy) and very lovely midwife was on the floor doing something and then put her entire body weight on my hand-with-canula to heave herself up to standing! Oh boy!!!!! the pain!!!! and utter anger in my hormonal and contracting body!!!! Our relationship was a little rocky after that but then the gorgeous lady helped me deliver my DS. Loved her enormously! : )

TheSkiingGardener Thanks for bringing peace and love but glitter! That stuff gets into everywhere! Grin
