Well, we're back by popular demand. Or not, as the title suggests. It's been incredible that four threads have reached a thousand posts where nobody, no one and no one at all posted anything. At all.

So, continue the party. Join the party and gatecrash the party. Let's see if we can reach five thousand posts of whiffle, piffle and pictures of Aidan Turner.

Our third Leo!!! We now have four sets of three signs! Oh, there is definitely something going on here!

Bettercallsaul1 · 15/08/2016 13:35

You definitely belong on the thread, Kimmy! You were fated to join us!

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 15/08/2016 13:35

kimmy are you positive it was snot?

toadgirl · 15/08/2016 13:38

Kimmy

Would hardly know where to start summing up, but I can just give out some thoughts as they occur to me:-

Better returned from some vortex or other over the weekend.
I disappeared into a toad hole for most of the weekend. Tone-Lowerer.
Jess fancies a boy working in her local co-op who looks Bambi-esque.
AGL is a son to a lot of us older women. We mother him. I'm his toad mother. He is also hunting for accommodation in time for uni in October.
MrsTerryPratchett usually does the night shift (different timezone?).
Noonesfool has gone on her hols.
Portia is OBSESSED with Aidan Turner. They are an item, so hands-off!
jetSTAR is turning up some great memes and keeping us all amused.
Ruby is flat hunting like mad.
SpecialAgentFrey has gone AWOL, I think?
MissElizaBennett is a classy lady who quotes Jane Austen.

I have more to say...

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 15/08/2016 13:39

Oooooh. That's a bit wooooo. Mystic meg would have a field day.
Nah, I don't do spooky, although Sarah Lotz's Day Four is fab (fictional about a medium), she found cold-reading is really easy to do.
Read in the guardian that synchronised menstruation has been debunked. My DD and I didn't get that memo.

toadgirl · 15/08/2016 13:40

toad I would very much like to be I suspect it might be construed as 'assault'....

You're right of course.

I forget that we toads have different courtship rituals. I can't tell you the number of times I've just been jumped on, without so much as a would you like this dance?

Glad I'm the only one with PMT in this household. One is enough!

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 15/08/2016 13:41

That's a fantastic summary. Thank you.Flowers

toadgirl · 15/08/2016 13:42

VanillaSugar started all these threads off! She's given us a reason to live to post another day. Well me, anyway Grin

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 15/08/2016 13:43

toad. You truly are special, you know that, right? Blush

kimmy. I love the word 'chambermaid', much more suggestive than 'cleaner' and will describe myself as such from now on. I am a voluptuous hussy with a filthy wink, who spends much of my day in the bedrooms of random strangers. Also curious about the Germans' love of paprika - in my local Lidl (don't shop there often dos of Co Op, obv) their own-brand 'Pringles' come in either salt or paprika. And that's it. Very, very peculiar....

Bettercallsaul1 · 15/08/2016 13:44

No, my daughter and her three female flatmates at Uni didn't get that memo either.

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 15/08/2016 13:45

My shower curtain looked like that. I had a frog theme going (don't ask) and saw what I thought to be innocent green tasteful frog cartoons. Turns out they were "cuddling".

toadgirl · 15/08/2016 13:48

We also have in our midst:

Aw thank you, Jess! We Rentaghost fans must stick together!

That's the spirit! I totally agree with what you say - it's a great word.

Talking of chambers, I wonder if Portia's chamber is being attended to by one AT?

toadgirl · 15/08/2016 13:52

Speaking as the resident amphibian, I can assure you that frogs/toads are never innocent or tasteful Grin

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 15/08/2016 13:56

I just hope she's got her inhaler handy....

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 15/08/2016 14:07

Dammit. My boss is on her way to collect me. I need a wee and I've already put the stoooopid 'this toilet has been sanitized for your protection' cellophane thing over the lid. Does anyone actually appreciate the damn things? Will have to clench. See you later, lovelies.

toadgirl · 15/08/2016 14:07

I just hope she's got her inhaler handy....

Is that what she calls it? Wink

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 15/08/2016 14:08

toad I just thought of Macca's Frog Chorus. Guilty as charged!
Jess the paprika is peculiar, it's almost like they had a mandate "Zer iz only one flavour. Schluss. Punkt." I remember an Apprentice task a few years back when they thought about bringing British crisps/pub snacks over and I sat going You're so fired mate.
I do look toward to "British week" here at Lidl though. Salt and vinegar chipsticks, sickly sweet wannabe Kipling apple pies, some kind of meat pie, scampi. Sad but true.

toadgirl · 15/08/2016 14:09

Aw boo! RL intervenes again....

toadgirl · 15/08/2016 14:26

My house is a tip! Dh working away till Friday, DS 1 is over the park, DS 2 is watching CBeebies and Dd is stomping in a nappy and her red shoes.......
