That's goml distinuishing herself from those glory hunters who got into Boney M only after Rivers of Babylon

Pagwatch · 07/08/2012 16:37

Oh of course. She was there at the beginning.

My history teacher was incensed by Ra Ra Rasputeen.

Rasputin was never a lover of the Russian Queen. FACT.

That was quite a good way to get out of work.

GetOrfMoiRing · 07/08/2012 20:29

Lol at genuinely.

I don't know why Grin

Pagwatch · 07/08/2012 20:33

We are all arfing at genuinely and yet genuinely don't know why.

GetOrfMoiRing · 07/08/2012 20:40

I know Grin

I think I just wanted to ensure you and limited knew I genuinely liked 70s disco, you two are so cool with your shalamar tapes/encounters, you're hard to keep up with Grin

Pagwatch · 07/08/2012 20:45

I am cool. I have LOLCAT in my vocabulary.

Grin I love you Getorf.

GetOrfMoiRing · 07/08/2012 20:51

Grin I love you too pag.

Lolcats, ra ra rasputin and laughing at the word genuinely.

What more does a thread need?

Pagwatch · 07/08/2012 20:55

Grin so true.

Arsy locust is the best description ever of a teenager. Love the mature reactions on this thread of people calling someone's son a dick,a tosser and a thick twat. Nothing like mn for reasoned argument

Latara · 07/08/2012 21:38

I reckon OP's son only said it as a wind up anyway... kind of thing my Uncle used to say just to irritate my Mum; she fell for it every time too bless her!

limitedperiodonly · 07/08/2012 21:38

Can I just ask what LOLCAT means? And that person with the number in his name?

It's raining hard so I'm doing that middle-aged lady thing of going out with a torch and stout shoes to annihilate snails now, but I will be back.

GetOrfMoiRing · 07/08/2012 22:04

Hosta!

Lolcats is a website full of picyures of funny pictures of cats. You just, um, lol at the cats.

The cool kidz spell it lolcatz.

AxlRosesLeatherTrousers · 07/08/2012 22:15

Wow! OP your son is 19, he is a man not a child. When my DH was 19 he had a full time job, his own flat and was pretty much bringing up 1 year old DSD on his own. He also would never have come out with this kind of bullshit! Not when he was 19 and not now when he is 38. Your DS is an adult and I feel very sorry for the poor woman he ends up with if that's his attitude.

limitedperiodonly · 07/08/2012 22:18

I weep for the future of this world.

mathanxiety · 08/08/2012 01:56

Put out a jam jar of beer for the snails.

Pagwatch, your DS and mine concur.

He is outnumbered 5 to 1 by females in our household and his female friends are a feisty bunch of girls who mostly play hard and party hard (and do not make a big song and dance about their periods).

mathanxiety · 08/08/2012 01:57

LOLcat

GetOrfMoiRing · 08/08/2012 07:00

Oh and limited wretch32 is a young rapper whipper snapper a bit like tinie tempah et al.

GetOrfMoiRing · 08/08/2012 07:01

Oh and its wretch three two, not wretch thirty two, don't make that mistake.

Look at me being all jo Whiley.

limitedperiodonly · 08/08/2012 08:56

mathanxiety That's just a head with no body. What kind of sick bastard LOLs at that?

limitedperiodonly · 08/08/2012 09:00

I've just had a look at Wretchy's Wiki page.

I don't understand a word of it.
