So my younger sister kept going on about my mums green elbows and was always told to stop it. This morning I noticed that she does actually have green elbows and they should be stopped

No she was just trying to bring her attention to it as she wasn't listening

Sorry to break it to you but if you've acknowledged The Green then your no longer in the middle. You have moved into the Green Side.

MN is strange tonight Hmm

I thought it was blue and green. If it was red and green they'd have to outlaw Christmas.

Have you discovered Pure Green?

YakTriangle · 20/10/2015 22:22

And tomatoes.

TheTravellingLemon · 20/10/2015 22:23

Good point.

Moln · 20/10/2015 22:24

And Wales.

Moln · 20/10/2015 22:25

Well the flag anyway, plus that building in Aberystwyth.

Louise43210 · 20/10/2015 22:25

You're correct. Elbows do have good points.

winewolfhowls · 20/10/2015 22:25

I think it was on a Guinness advert once (or some advert)

Flumplet · 20/10/2015 22:25

I googled it and someone on a forum said it was a sign of 'gang green'. I don't know if you live in an area with a gang problem but she might have joined one. The green one.

Moln · 20/10/2015 22:28

What was wine the OP's mum's elbows or that building in Aberystwyth?

winewolfhowls · 20/10/2015 22:28

Just googled it and it's red and green should never be seen except on an Irish Queen

YY what Lemon said. Though some people find it difficult to tell the different between shades of blue and green.
What shade of green, Op? Do you have a Dulux colour chart? We need to know this is we are going to help........

Gruntfuttock · 20/10/2015 22:32

Look what I found www.ourhealth.com/conditions/elbow-conditions/green-elbow-skin

TheTravellingLemon · 20/10/2015 22:32

Well that's Wales fucked then. And Christmas.

Moln · 20/10/2015 22:33

No sure I've seen Panti Bliss in red and green. Hmmmm.

The accidental double, triple and quadruple posting on this thread has made me hoot with laughter. It's like reading a Two Ronnies Sketch Grin
