Welcome to 14.....

We got spooky 13 out the way. Now business as usual.

Don't worry about making sense, we rarely do!!

A poem from Portia

Mother Nature don't build straight lines
We're broken moulds in a grand design
We look a mess but we're doing fine
We're card carrying lifelong members
Of the Union of different kinds

Crack on and enjoy!!

I find the C-word offensive....

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 08/09/2016 13:25

jess you just confused the hell out of me. I was thinking c-word = cunt and nobody has said that. I'm guessing you mean Christmas?

ItShouldHaveBeenJessMissingRed · 08/09/2016 13:28

Yes. The thing with (whispers) trees, and John Lewis ads, and getting tangled up in sellotape...

PrettyBlueDressForTheXmasBall · 08/09/2016 13:32

Well guess what I'm going to announce my Xmas name before better can steal the pretty blue dress

PortiaCastis · 08/09/2016 13:34

Oh Jess you're Jewish aren't you. Do you celebrate or not? Excuse me for asking

ItShouldHaveBeenJessMissingRed · 08/09/2016 13:39

I'm not properly Jewish. My grandad was. I like using it on Corbyn sites, though...

I sort of celebrate it. But I'm not a fan. Too much faff and expense for one day.

ItShouldHaveBeenJessMissingRed · 08/09/2016 13:42

To be officially Jewish, it has to go through the maternal blood line, if that makes sense. So unofficially, I'm quarter Jewish, but officially I'm not. Complicated.

PortiaCastis · 08/09/2016 13:42

Sorry if I stuck my size 9 s in it.
Agree when you find eating a bit difficult and Gran tries to shovel sprouts down your throat the thought isn't appealing.

ItShouldHaveBeenJessMissingRed · 08/09/2016 13:44

Yes! You're supposed to eat a bloody five course meal, regardless of how you feel about it, because it's expected!

RedMerida · 08/09/2016 13:45

Jess I feel so honoured that you still miss me, but I'm here my love!!

RedMerida · 08/09/2016 13:46

I just finished making this for a friend's DS.

ItShouldHaveBeenJessMissingRed · 08/09/2016 13:51

red So cute! I want him!

I knew there was something I was meant to do today...

(slinks off in shame to do name change)

PortiaCastis · 08/09/2016 13:52

Thats nice Red

PrettyBlueDressForTheXmasBall · 08/09/2016 14:01

red that looks like you've bought it from a very expensive baby boutique shop. I really can't get over how good you are at making these things

PortiaCastis · 08/09/2016 14:04

For Jess
sorry

sam I saw your post on the other thread. I ignored it.

I made a tongue-in-cheek remark. It was taken at face value. If you want to discuss it, then I'll return to the Corbyn thread (this one is not political).

I'm not 'pretending to be Jewish'. My grandad was.

PrettyBlueDressForTheXmasBall · 08/09/2016 14:15

jess it has to pass down the maternal line? I'm really shocked at that. Religion is normally all about paternal. You learn something new every day.

PortiaCastis · 08/09/2016 14:21

Gran Gran where are you quick we need you bring Seth and Jim if you want

VanillaSugar · 08/09/2016 14:44

Hi - I don't really see the school mums in the morning. I roll up, chuck DS out of the car and then roll off again.

Jess I see your quarter Jewishness and I raise you half. My father is Jewish and his parents escaped from Vienna in 1938. My grandmother's family were mostly OK but my grandfather's side has been wiped out. Grandfather worked for the US army as a Nazi Hunter.

So, as I am directly descended from a Nazi Hunter, and my mother's family were originally Irish (Belfast) then rowed by boat to Scotland, then settled in Glasgow, then walked to Liverpool in 1918 looking for work, then survived the Second World War, I am well hard. So anyone who takes on Jess takes on me. And believe me, you will lose.

I would have told that poster to fuck off but this is a nice thread and we're all far too polite.

The End.

PortiaCastis · 08/09/2016 14:50

I suppose being Cornish is worthy of vile venom also

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 08/09/2016 14:51

vanilla Thank you. I really do love you. I'm more concerned that this individual actually sought me out on here, as we have only spoken once on another thread.

But fuck it.

PortiaCastis · 08/09/2016 14:54

Hide the thread and ignore it
Jess
