drive round with a dashboard crammed with cuddly creatures?

wear a disney top if you ate a grown-up?

have a wacky ringtone on your phone? Spiderpig anyone?

actually say the words "I'm crazy I am."?

think lol is fecking punctuation?

[grrr]

And don't even go there about typos in the title - I meant to type prillock - it's a portmanteau, I'll have you know.

Aha Suncottage I have a story that might explain that - a while back I bought my then four year old cousin a beautiful hardback version of the House at Pooh Corner, a lovely thing with original illustrations, none of this Disney malarkey. Her Mum admired it and then announced 'oh look they've got books of Winnie The Pooh now'.

I refer to her as 'her Mum' because aknowledging this woman as my aunt and sharing DNA with her pains me.

Katiepoes, I think I like you.

And nickely, please note I only mentioned Disney clothes, the others can be clarsed as retro, and therefore cool.

Is the fact that I bought a yellow Sesame Street t shirt the other day really bad then? I am 34! I only bought it because it fitted round my baby bump but now I am worried it looks like I have eaten someone.

What does nom nom mean, I have wondered?

Chaos , i will always love you.

nickelbabe · 19/05/2011 10:38

shit, i just realised that I have a pair of winnie the pooh pyjamas - the top has winnie and piglet and sequins and it says "let it snow" on it.
In my defence, they were half price in the after-christmas sale and DH likes them.

Do disney PJ's count?

My sister handed down a pair that she had with eyeore on, and I can't bring myself to throw away clothes that have plenty of life in them

Admits I may now be a prillock :)

nickelbabe · 19/05/2011 10:45

hand-me-downs aren't counted.
and nor are presents.

JohnniesBitch · 19/05/2011 10:54

i have to agree with most of this, there are sometimes exceptions to the rule though.
My sister (32) has learning difficulties and loves winnie the pooh, she hasn't got any clothing other than pj's but she does have several bags with his face on and a key ring and she likes the collectable ornaments!

JohnniesBitch · 19/05/2011 10:54

should explain that at 32 her mental age/ability is that of an 8 or 9 year old.

nickelbabe · 19/05/2011 11:07

yes, adults with learning difficulties are allowed to be excepted.
they've got enough to deal with.

Best ring tone I ever heard was on a very quiet and very busy tube train in London. Nobody giving eye contact - imagine the scene. Then someone's phone rung... with the Muppets ring tone. Everyone was smirking!

nickelbabe · 20/05/2011 11:13

I once had a temporary phone whilst mine was in for repair.
It was a proper brick, but you could type in tunes, and save them as your ring tone.
I spent hours with my friend at work working out the correct notes for Fraggle Rock, and it became my ringtone until the phone went back.
I was quite sad to get mine back :(

(sorry Chaos [wunk] )

nicely, I can't forgive you for that infraction I'm afraid.

Although the effort is to be applauded.

not the intro. (but we did manage to get the claps in!)

I agree with Hassled. Heads will roll come the revolution.

See also women who have the stickers in the back window of their car that says 'powered by fairy dust'. These are usually the same twats who cover their office desks with soft toys and other obnoxious tat.

Suncottage · 20/05/2011 12:17

A woman I worked with who put on a baby voice whenever she spoke on the phone to her much older husband;

"Wuv oo woo Muffy-Wuffy"

How she remained unkilled by me remains a mystery. She was a total cowbag to everyone in the office.

unclefester77 · 20/05/2011 12:36

what about those car notices that say 'babe on board'...Angry

Yes HerHiss, agreed.

And what about wallies who put quotation marks around the printed sentiment inside a greetings card?

huh?

Take their BlueNosedPens off them.
