Vanilla has given me the great honour of starting the TENTH thread that absolutely no-one responds to. No-one at all. We have not racked up 9,000 previous posts talking about absolutely nothing.

Along the way we've become great friends. Newcomers are always welcome. So pull up a chair and join us in our mn version of Central Perk Café. We share jokes and memes, random facts and thoughts, our highs and lows, we are the card carrying lifelong members of The Union of different kinds.

So whether your life is perfection or;
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
(If) it's like you're always stuck in second gear
(Whether) it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year,

We'll be here for you.

There's
Vanilla who brought us altogether
Toad & Jet who are our meme champions
Better who is advisory
Portia who has a famous boyf Wink
AGL who is young
Jess who likes to flounce
Red who has red hair
Being who's always there
Noone who is on holiday
Legz who makes purple cakes and Mouse who makes lots of cakes
Cat, MrsTP and others who pop in when they can.
(Sorry to anyone I've forgotten)

Oh and I'm supposed to be starting blues clues but had no idea what that was so will do my homework and add them in soon.

Nehmen Sie die erste Strasse links.

Oh no AGL. Sad I was so hoping not to hear that.

AverageGayLad · 28/08/2016 23:51

Nehmen Sie die OR Nimm die. You can't have "Nehmen die" in that context. 0.5/10

Kimmy English, German, A bit of French but BECAUSE of speaking German I can read quite a bit of written Dutch.

AverageGayLad · 28/08/2016 23:51

Me too Being :(

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 28/08/2016 23:51

Now when you say you ''speak French''...GrinWink
You know ^soixante -neuf" doesn't count, right?!

AverageGayLad · 28/08/2016 23:52

What about six cent quatre-vingt-seize?

I am in Cornwall as if you didn't know Grin

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 28/08/2016 23:56

AGL ooh, harsh marking there Stud!
I am impressed. I was in Amsterdam last year and my DH (also English but a cunning linguist Wink) did fine but I struggled somewhat Blush

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 28/08/2016 23:59

A 696 is a threesome gone wrong Grin

PortiaCastis · 29/08/2016 00:00

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 29/08/2016 00:01

kimmy I got a 'B'. Tutor predicted a fail, so thank you!

VanillaSugar · 29/08/2016 00:02

Ok, on a serious note AGL, your friend is going to be very fragile for a long time. Don't be surprised if she comes back with a bit of a personality change. Basically, what's happened is that someone's stolen her future: the future that she'd planned with her little ones. You might find that she goes to bed and can't get up again - not won't, actually can't - that she bursts into hysterics for no reason and, well, that part of her has been ripped out.

Time is a great healer, but at the.moment she needs a lot of love, not just sympathy. And if she pushes you away, don't take it personally. She doesn't mean it, it's just that she will have built a wall of self-preservation around her as a coping mechanism.

I went to Cornwall 1999 the week before the eclipse Portia, cos it was cheaper. The week of the eclipse I was in a hotel room in Edinburgh and we pretended it got dark it really didn't Was woken early twice that week, by a cock (No AGL) and some bagpipes (again, no).

PortiaCastis · 29/08/2016 00:04

Ive got a degree in accountancy and carnal activity

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 29/08/2016 00:06

^ Vanilla has it spot on.

PortiaCastis · 29/08/2016 00:08

It bloody rained on eclipse day and we saw nothing but tv crews trying to waffle their way through the mist.

Vanilla well said you've described things so well.

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 29/08/2016 00:09

Did you or your fellow accountants ever have constipation Portia?! Wink
You can work it out with a pencil...

AverageGayLad · 29/08/2016 00:11

Vanilla My strategy is to let her know I'm right here, and then retreat until she feels comfortable talking to me Flowers

Kimmy I'm not ALWAYS dirty minded..

PortiaCastis · 29/08/2016 00:11

Ha ha Kimmy I wish I had £10 for every time I'd heard that

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 29/08/2016 00:12

PortiaCastis · 29/08/2016 00:12

AGL your strategy is good

PortiaCastis · 29/08/2016 00:13

Total eclipse of the heart

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 29/08/2016 00:14
