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

I've bumped the thread. It was something about collecting a parcel.

I seem to Remember women's magazines in the 80s advocating resting each elbow inside half a squeezed lemon. You cut the lemon in half, squeeze the juice out and then use the shells as handy elbow cups. It's meant to bleach and clean the grotty elbow skin.
Not sure why people in the 80s had such manky elbows.
Could you wrestle your mum into a bisected lemon?

My ds has gone to school today with a green hand.

Has she put her elbows on a radioactive table?

I can't lick my elbows, I just tried. Meh, I'm not bothered. At least I can bite my toenails.

Is she on any heart medication? (I get my medical knowledge from Jessie J lyrics)

QuintShhhhhh · 23/10/2015 11:18

trolls are green.

Is the problem that it is ONLY the elbows thats green on your mum, while your sister is green all over?

MelcombeBingham · 08/11/2015 15:55

Is there an update??? Did we find out about the other one, willy off???

ProfGrammaticus · 08/11/2015 16:01

Yes the OP came back and cleared up the willy off satisfactorily.

Aramynta · 08/11/2015 17:56

This was on Radio 4 yesterday (?last night) the guy with scaley green patch on elbow. I didn't listen thru to the end to find out what it meant.
