To wonder if you're one of the older members of a large family you ever stop and think

[PlayOnWurtz]

No more kids please mum and dad!

How much were you expected to do to support them?

To clarify...Sigh

"Sprogs as a term of endearment?"

Try to read the posts carefully. Comprehension is clearly not your strong point.

And do stop being so defensive; if you wish to have as many sprogs as possible - for whatever reason - don't let anyone here stop you. Do continue. Well done you. Have another one for the planet!

Yay! Done it!

"Magzmarsh

The last post wasn't written by cara, if you can't accept that more than one poster opposes your views I don't think you should type verbose claptrap on an Internet forum love 😎😋"

Ooh. That "love"'thing is so deliciously passive aggressive. Poor Horse person...

Oh I'm quite aware of your input, hence the separate paragraphs.
I simply didn't think that you were worth specifically mentioning;

As an aside, is 'love' the same kind of endearing term as 'sprog'?

And the dictionary definition of sprogs is "informal British humorous word for child", no derogatory connotations whatsoever.

Maybe it's not in the dictionary you apparently swallowed.

Cara doesn't know either myself or my children.

How could she legitimately refer to them either informally or humorously?

Oh dear, the long winter nights must just fly by in your house horse 🙄

But of course, all of my children have birthdays in November.

Of course "love" is as endearing as "sprogs", Horse person! xx

Horse person has clearly had the sense of humour bypass...

Yes, clearly.

Fortunately humour is quite the subjective concept;

admittedly mine does not run to such derivative utterances as 'swallowing dictionaries' and suffering 'sense of humour bypasses.'
I think it may have, at some point in the nineties when these things held some vestige of originality but now? not so much.

Further proof that our standards of both debate and humour differ wildly, don't you think?

Unless of course Cara you're on the wind up.
The more I encounter you the more I am certain/hope for your sake that this is the case.

It does read as a snide little put down cara or was it just "banter" same thing!

You evidently think the world of yourself horse, I guess someone has to.

Quite.

Unbridled arrogance isn't after all the preserve of those who had the restraint to limit their reproductive tendencies to two children, one of each gender.

That's nice dear 🙄

I'm so glad that you think so none of my children were actually born in November

I doubt anyone gives a shiny shite what month, year or millennium your children were born 😕

Yup!

"You evidently think the world of yourself horse, I guess someone has to."

The more I see of *Horse person" the more I think she is absolutely lovely. Her banter is of the po-faced variety. Awwwwww bless.

No, all anybody cares about is that there's five of the sprogs when there should only be two three at a push eh?

they could have time travelled from the forties and be members of Hitler's youth so long as there's only two of them

I mean, of course, Horse Person aka sweetness and might personified.
❤

I meant light but hey, might cuts it too, Horse!
