to have mentioned my wedding anniversary when I noticed woman in shop looking for my wedding ring...

[BooBearBoo]

Pushing DS around a shop when shop lady starting commenting on him "ahh he is lovely" etc etc blah blah. I then noticed her clocking my lack of wedding ring (left them at home - very muggy here and my hands always swell up in heat). I felt compelled to mention that I was looking for a gift for my DH for our anniversary tomorrow...

Was I right to feel the need to point this out??!

When I was pregnant I once sat opposite two nuns on the tube (again not wearing my rings...). Goodness me I wanted to smack their disapproving faces. I do look very young as well. Gggrrrr. I'm not even bloody religious. Why do I care that other people care if I am not married??!!

You got too far.

*go too

Nothing like a bit of whoopie on a saturday afternoon

This is the greatest thread ever.

pal of mine has a t-shirt which says 'i caught crabs in cromer'. she doesn't wear it often

Are nuns even allowed to wear bras?

I think they're allowed to wear bras but have trouble sourcing them - I was in Debenhams with my cousin one time with her toddling around the red lace and basques in her full habit ... she put all the blokes shopping for their wives right off.

Apparently her order came to bras late on, having had a long discussion abotu whether it was really necessary to spend out on these modern contraptions. Maybe that's why the nuns boo sees have extra swingy breasts?

My thought exactly LRD !

Brushing your teeth whilst not wearing a bra is very very dangerous.

LRD - your sister is a nun? Does that make you a sister's sister?

My father was a nun.

Ah Baldrick!

Damn, I wanted to post the Baldrick!

My cousin was a nun. That is to say, I imagine she's still a nun, but she's no longer with us.

Two Nuns are walking along when a vampire jumps out at them.
First nun says "Quick show him your cross"
Second nun says "Go away bloody vampire, I'm very,very angry."

I've been to Cromer many a time and never seen a nun :(

I once saw two carloads of nuns going the wrong way down a one way street.

Sister Act makes my dad cry.

I hate going out without my wedding ring when I have DD with me/obvious bump. Not really sure why as I don't care if anyone else is married before they have kids. I wanted to be though.

Oh, can anyone settle a very long-running argument between me and DH? The "Where's the soap?" joke - I maintain it is only funny/more funny if it involves nuns, he thinks the fact they are nuns is irrelevant Same with nuns doing press-ups in a cucumber patch etc. Who IBU?

thats my all time favourite joke!! after 11 years of telling it my god its been embellished!! ive not done it for about 3 years as ive been banned and everybody i know has heard it at least a million times plus i cant finish it without crying with laughter which ruins it every time i told it their names changed their replies varied the vehicle they were driving changed the lot oh it was grand.. love that ive been reminded of it from here and am now going to try and drop it into as many RL chats as possible

Does anybody remember the Flying Nun?
She did good nun things while flying, she only needed a breeze and a wimple.

My dad tells an excellent nun joke but it's one of those that wouldn't work well written down.

Hth.

By the way, I've been meaning to say for ages that for the longest time I thought 'hth' meant "happy to help" and I always imagined people posting their advice and then adding a smug and perky little "happy to help!" because they were SO SURE their post was brilliant - like those annoying squeaky women in American sitcoms who say "you're welcome!!" before anyone says thank you.

Nun of this thread makes sense.

A nun in a wheelchair ran over my foot

A nun in a wheelchair ran over my foot once. I was unmarried at the time.

I spent a night in a nunnery in Milan once. Backpacking and couldn't find our hostel, were taken pity on. Nice nuns.

I am nun too pleased with this iPhone I must say.

There are a lot of nuns around here.

I see where the op is coming from. I had to take my rings off when pregnant. One MW asked why I hadn't bothered to get married first. Told her it was none of her business .
