This still rumbles on and on. I think we need a definitive list to help the confused.

Oh dear, are the wildebeest getting into the formal gardens again? I'll whip the gardeners lad for you. I must get on with pruning the roses wot...

Trin - just get a king size pot noodle, she can have half now half later

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 11/05/2011 10:52

That sounds like fun, ShowofHands - count me in! I might change my mind and be a parlourmaid though - I think a parlourmaid is more likely to get down and dirty with the footman. Plus I like the idea of the cotton print dress and plain apron and cap for daytime, and the black dress and fancy apron and cap for later on when I am serving The Family!

Carminaburana..I am always saying that to DH Wink

ShowOfHands · 11/05/2011 11:00

I'm wearing a cotton print dress today. I made it myself from curtain fabric leftover from a posh person's drapes. I am utterly serious. It's like I'm halfway to the doomed affair already.

Can I just apologise for mentioning Eastenders, culture choice of the commoner on your right royal thread? And point out I've never watched it? My Mum does though. And tells me about it twice a week. In a hospital waiting room last week she genuinely uttered the following sentence:

"Lots of people are having twins these days. Take that woman from Eastenders and the singer who's black but looks white and that other Canadian one with the nose".

I have no idea. It's like a different language.

carminaburana · 11/05/2011 11:01

Ha ha fango - my phone keeps changing your name to tango, it's making me laugh >

Hmm - I do believe the male person is ignoring me -

Off with his head.

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 11/05/2011 11:06

Your mum sounds like a real character, Show! It's that whole 'you are speaking in English, and I understand each seperate word you are saying, but put together it makes no sense whatsoever' thing - it is a real talent. Ds2 has it too - we sometimes tell him that if it is between the time when he woke up and the time when he will go to sleep, that he really shouldn't be talking!! Grin And if we had emoticons in our family, we'd need Confused almost every time he says something!

carminaburana · 11/05/2011 11:09

It's changed it again - it obviously can't cope with f.a.n.j.o

ShowOfHands · 11/05/2011 11:11

I have no less than 3 degrees, two of them involving our beautiful language. but when my mother starts up with her 'the postman's second wife's bit on the side, you know the one that looks like him out of Coronation Street with the wonky eye and the jumper, used to hang around with the one from the launderette who had a squint and a jack russell, well he's dead', it's like ontological philosophy all over again. Except less thrilling.

DD I mostly understand thankfully. Usually something involving Ninja Turtles and the fight to stop shredder from world domination. I nod and brandish a sword when she tells me to. Easier all round.

QueentessentialExcel · 11/05/2011 11:13

Your mum sounds like our old London neighbour,showy, only she was my age.

QueentessentialExcel · 11/05/2011 11:13

Hmm showy

bupcakesandcunting · 11/05/2011 11:13

I'm MN Royalty, as any fule kno.

I am like Fergie, me.

QueentessentialExcel · 11/05/2011 11:14

You like to sell other royals to the highest bidder, you mean, bupcakes? Grin

porcamiseria · 11/05/2011 11:16

wank wank wank WANK

bupcakesandcunting · 11/05/2011 11:17

Yes. I'd sell my own mother for a quick fuck. Grin

But everyone likes me regardless.

bupcakesandcunting · 11/05/2011 11:18

BUCK quick BUCK.

TechLovingDad · 11/05/2011 11:18

Fuck me, what have I stumbled into?

bupcakesandcunting · 11/05/2011 11:20

You don't want to start a post with such an invitation on a thread featuring SDTG and Fanjo, TLD. It will end badly.

TechLovingDad · 11/05/2011 11:21

It started pretty badly too...

carminaburana · 11/05/2011 11:23

So TLD - have you got 'great tekkers'

Hullygully · 11/05/2011 11:25

Showy -

My mother: Do you remember the man who lived next door before the woman who lost her limbs?
Me: No
MM: Yes you do! Well, his third cousin's secretary, the one who looks like the one who was in that film, you know, the film about that time when, when, oh, you know something historical, well...

Me:

TechLovingDad · 11/05/2011 11:27

caminaburana, I'd say no, but I don't know what great tekkers are.

Poledra · 11/05/2011 11:27

Coming late to remind Showy of the immortal lines 'Power to the Peeple!' and 'Freedom for Tooting' for when she is next demonstrating against well, anything. You've probably got an Afghan coat in the back of the wardrobe somewhere.

And to suggest that Orm, in her post of 10:39:56, is, in fact, describing GetOrf, shurely?

carminaburana · 11/05/2011 11:30

Great Tekkers = great techniques ( in sport mainly )
