where they get broken in gently?

And those huge sun flowers - scarily triffid like.

hi peeps i am back pissed off today as foot hurting

Hello devonshire :)

I'm also creeped out by those dolls with those hideous staring eyes. And clowns. Yes, clowns are just wrong.

those dancing flowers creep me out

better or worse than the singing fish?

Billy Bass the singing fish.

My Mum bought one for DP one christmas

we have a croaking frog in our garden which scared the shit out of our neighbours cat the cat has not crapped in our garden again

Shot a Wolef in my pyjamas once. What it was doing in them I'll never know.

(X Marx the spot...)

well huns, see your having a ball still in a very grown up world! lol

See, girls? perfect example of the humourless intruder trying to attain amusement value by the deeply suspect "LOL" and gratuitious use of 'Huns"

Carmina, thank you so much for your contribution, I meant to add that my response was of course a deeply patronising and dismissive post, well documented as a reply on MN.

You are booked for the upper sixths next week? Yes?

Come to my study afterwards and we shall share some fine tea.

LOL?

But I don't want to Lick Out Lemurs.

My dear, sweet, overseas aunt still signs off her fb posts with LOL....I can't bring myself to correct her...

ehhm ehhm, excuse me please sir, why is lol not allowed? Does it have something to do with lazy?

yes, judge, its very lazy. Please refer to Notebook 2, which you should have got on enrollment.

"LOL" or laugh out loud. Used frequently as a sign of idiocy or a patronising put down. (pace use of MN emoticons, clause ii)

Oh so lol isn't allowed then, whatever happened to freedom of speech

< practicing passive aggressive sarcastic usage for when not able to win the point :o >

ten out of ten Worry! You have encapsulated the contradiction at the heart of ANY forum!

Yes, but sir, my son taught me it? should I be worried . What about the hun one. Been on dating sites and wanted to crawl into computer and bash the life out of the blokes who used it. Is it in same category as said lol?

Judge. For starters, please don't call me Sir! Miss will suffice.

As for dating, lordy me, lol never to be used. retain femine mystery, my dear!

As for Hun, it has been so discredited it has no place in ANY internet community, redolent as it is as patronising superiority or stupidity begging for accomplices.

Those bloody Huns.

They were BARBARIANS .

still such a greenhorne. Lesson pasting been most interesting so far.

Actually, really. I'm a total twonk and I realise this but "she SHALL learn"

judge, dear girl greenhorn has no "e" at the end

eeeeeeeek.... runs for the hills away from pendant corner. maryz get out get out you're too nice to be polluted.

What about dude?

I hate being called dude

DrP - tart responses I can handle - I fend them off with my trusty sword, quick wit and curt replies >

am loving the cape action...can we talk about scheduling cape swirling classes next term? Taffeta? Serge? What do you recommend?
