CHJR · 05/10/2013 22:07

right, i've had it. If you lot are now quoting James Joyce I'm going to give up and join Net@@@s. You Have Been Warned. Please revert to English now! Grin

Were the plates all busy by the block pavving?

CHJR · 05/10/2013 22:09

Or perhaps you are quoting The Who. It is nor acceptable to quote rock bands after 2 pm in my book...,

Why don't we have an emoticon for Runs Away Crying For Mummeeee ? A glaring hole in the MN lexicon !

I have no problems with jugs. I find them acceptable for many a social occasion.

WireCat · 05/10/2013 22:13

Have I sniffed too much wine?

CHJR · 05/10/2013 22:18

I'm beginning to think it might help...?

gordyslovesheep · 05/10/2013 22:19

too much zooooooooooom maybe wirecate

gordyslovesheep · 05/10/2013 22:19

CAT even Grin zoom went to my head

ShatnersBassoon · 05/10/2013 22:27

Oh,a Zoom! I was thinking a zoom was a euphemism an activity.

RalphGnu · 05/10/2013 22:27

Ah, zooms. The rocket shaped ice lollies. I prefer Twisters myself.

Is Sorbay on the west coast?

candycoatedwaterdrops · 05/10/2013 22:45

Grin Yes, it is Dawndonna and I've heard it's lovely this time of year. They do good frozen yoghurt.

CHJR, there are a lot of historical references going on. Read this, it will help.

elfycat · 05/10/2013 23:40

haven't caught up on thread or history. And I've had a couple of glasses of Wine. Let's see how I do...

DH recently purchased a 35p plastic jug from Adsa. I think serving a tin of microwavable breakfast in a jug is just plain common sense. Plus you can see the volume of beans and can judge the 1-of-5-a-day volume from this. When DH returns from work (erm 1.5 weeks) I shall serve him thusly and see how it goes.

Thanks empress. That did help, though if MN is going to turn out to need as many footnotes as James Joyce maybe I shoulda just stayed with the jug of wine - or indeed the beans Smile - esp at this hour

If he was doing T Rex arms again it would have been really hard for him to reach the beans in the jug. No wonder he just fannied about with them.

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 06/10/2013 08:04

It's only threads like this where you need the context, CHJR. For other useful background bits, do advanced searches for pavving (not paving), fumming and hamwidge.

DO NOT GOOGLE FUMMING.

SoupDragon · 06/10/2013 08:06

Dull dull dull.

SoupDragon · 06/10/2013 08:07

I hate threads like this because they are started purely to take the piss out of people who have literacy problems.

ZillionChocolate · 06/10/2013 08:12

It's not just about the literacy though.
