Some posters pop up on threads of varied and often complicated topics and manage to have a well formed opinion on it, know all the facts and figures and put their point accross eloquently? Makes me feel a bit dim at times Blush AIBU?

It's coz some of us is old, very old, and have seen a lot of life stuff

Sorry if that sounded snippy, BOF.

I think she's ok with people knowing who she is now, but I'm not saying it wide aloud.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 19/06/2011 22:16

Can't remember hoe to spell it BOF.

I know what you mean, I'm a lurker more than a poster and feel a bit of a 'know nowt' reading other posters advice.

As a complete aside, everytime I see your name Idrinkfromtheirskulls, in my head I go "dededededer...make flutes out of their arms!"

Then it's an earworm again. Grin

I know that my dad has had a triple bypass this afternoon after his heart stopped today and can't start a self indulgent thread because

a) it's Fathers Day
and
b) all the flaming nobbers are out tonight and I don't want to risk some dickhead going "what's your point?"

See I'm that clever and know that much that instead I have crawled into my own little quiche threads that people hate so much and shamelessly meeped till I felt better Grin

I thought hec was away?

EggyAllenPoe · 19/06/2011 22:19

i totally agree with that last one chaos

AtYourCervix · 19/06/2011 22:19

How's he doing Honey? How are you?

Honeydragon · 19/06/2011 22:21

Fine he came out a hour ago and is n ICU with a nice nurse looking after him, whom my mum insists on calling "the nice man nurse" Grin

AtYourCervix · 19/06/2011 22:22

Sending happy healing vibes>>>>

EggyAllenPoe · 19/06/2011 22:22

honeydragon - all hopes he comes out ok - but my god what a shock. crappy sodding corporeal existence.

Honeydragon · 19/06/2011 22:23

I hate a male trainee midwife with ds years ago ....her brain nearly melted as to whether he was a man midwife or a midhusband. No amount of reason would convince her that Midwife = Profession.

Honeydragon · 19/06/2011 22:24

Well said Eggy....... anyway back to our cleverness or Chaos may implode if we go on a tangent before page 5, she's like that so she is Wink

Oh I only implode on weekdays - you're safe from spontaneous chaosbustion.

LeQ - I always like the pathos/bathos addition to a debate.

And stop with the Hmms - I can see you doing them with your Gallic shrugs.

BitOfFun · 19/06/2011 22:37

I didn't know you had qualified as a librarian, LeQueen- you kept that quiet! ShowOfHands is one of the cleverest women on here.

Honeydragon · 19/06/2011 22:38

We sooooooo need that shrug emoticon
