I really do give up.

I came on here for a fight and a drink breaks out.

[losers]

Wine anyone?

sighs.

Yes Reeling

Have now moved on to the greater heights of Chicago....

I'd love a drink but cannot indulge...

I have to pick up DD from the airport at 01.40.

Love, love will keep us together.

Today a little girl in one of my classes said to another little girl 'Come and sit next to me Emma'. Little tiny bit of love.

My DS gave me a hug because he knows I like it, even thought he 14 and doesn't really think he should do hugs. Little, hard won, scrap of love.

Makes you happier to spot little bits of love than to smoulder about the little bits of grit that the day brings.

There is much love, I love all my friends, virtual or not, love, love love them.

No horror, no bitchin', they know I'm an idiot & always will be.

We just luuurrrve eachother.

I have been on many a PTA. They are all ultimately evil. It is sad, because they should be great, but the is always one spoiler who makes me not want to play any more.

I think it should stand for Pissed Typists Anonymous, then we can all be in hully's PTA

spiderslegs · 28/06/2011 23:04

Why are they evil hully (I have no expectations mine are all pre-school).

I look forward to socking it to them.

Show them the love.

spiderslegs · 28/06/2011 23:08

& Norks??

Why??

Why??

Why??

Are they evil??

Have had to listen to a bit of Simon & Garfunkel to bring me down.

Saw the thread title and thought it might be you, Hully.
You are lovely.

Fiderer · 29/06/2011 11:18

I too thought this may be a Hully Thread.
Co-opt me on to your PTA. All the people on mine are lovely but we have 3-hour meetings in a pub and not one of them drinks anything other than water or juice. We all walk there so no driving issues.
Loveliness does sadly not curb or off-set long-windedness. I'm the only lush one who needs wine to get through the agenda.

It's great on my pta. There's loads of wine and then once we've rushed through the meeting bit we all drink it all up yum. They do then drive tho - bad. I don't, cos I is near and good.

Envy Bitter irony is that we live in a wine village - wine practically on tap. Landlord has occasionally offered us a couple of bottles in recognition of our good work - guess what the response was?

Hullygully · 29/06/2011 11:31

In uk?

Why don't you take him aside and say thanks v much and take the wine home?

OP posts:
Fiderer · 29/06/2011 12:24

No, not in UK.
Should have done but it seemed a bit selfish. Liked him a lot. Once he was taking orders ("Water", "Water"...) and I said in English, expecting another 3-hour Angstfest, "A bucket of gin, please". He often offered it to me after that. Died unexpectedly 2 months ago.
I resolved (not for the first time) to live life to the full.
Bucket of gin anyone?

Ah - that's the trouble, see. They don't know how to down it in furrin like we do.

Do they eat snails?

OP posts:
Fiderer · 29/06/2011 13:01

Snails, no. But they have many redeeming features. One being that it's acceptable to drink what is essentially a pint of wine (3/4 wine, 1/4 water) at and after 11 am.
Sparkling wine is seen as The Pick-me-up for the elderly to regulate blood pressure and circulation.
Also for breast-feeding mums. Midwives recommend it to help with let-down problems.
Just the watery PTA. Hey ho. Can't have everything. If I were a bf oldie I'd be permanently pished.... And a scientific anomaly.

PinotsEvilTwin · 29/06/2011 13:12

I'll have a bucket o'gin, if you please :) How did the speech go?

Fiderer · 29/06/2011 13:27

Hi Pinot - thanks for asking Smile
Weirdly I wasn't that nervous before, or at the start. That may have been my hangover.
Speech was short and snappy and I thought quite good apt.
Then right in the middle I got the nervous shakes. Brr. But I wasn't booed. And the head told me afterwards she likes my sense of humour. Plus I'm forrin and play that card when people dont lay flowers at my feet comment.
