to wonder why my posts are nearly always ignored on MN?

[brizzledrizzle]

Am I as invisible here as in real life?

I used to read a magazine called "Petticoat". Anyone remember that?

@melen re: being born in a Berni... My Dad was a manager of a big one in that there London. I was born in the flat upstairs, and lived there until 5 years of age. My love of pubs continues...

Why thank you.
Did you enjoy the party last night?

Thank goodness for that kirta I was imagining your Mum enjoying the Black Forest Gateau so much, she never noticed you arriving.
Easily done, to be fair!😂

Petticoat, yes Fuzzy and Romeo (printed in black white and blue, but no other colours!)

And Mirabelle!

Oooh yes..Romeo. I had forgotten that imaginarycat. I'd love to be able to read a copy or two now. I wonder what my present self would think of the advice and gender-stereotyping now! (I seem to recall it was full of drawings of doe-eyed girls plotting to get their man)

I think a nice pot of tea kept warm with a tea cosy is needed.

A hand-knitted, striped tea cosy with two bobbles on the top, I hope.

Only a bottle of coty l'aimant and a copy of Jackie for company.

Cathy and Claire still on the go? I well remember them

"Dear C&C, I held my boyfriend's hand at a school disco, and he squeezed my fingers affectionately. Am I pregnant? signed Worried Sick of Cleethorpes"

"Dear Worried - you really are a slutty little harlot aren't you? Yes - you most probably ARE pregnant! It's your parents I feel sorry for. The shame you will bring to their door will kill them! Is that what you wanted to do? KILL your MOTHER and FATHER? You do realise that no- man will ever want you now, don't you. It serves you right. And stop crying - out upsets your mother. ^signed C&C"

As for the "chitchy" - both I and the autocorrect had drunk far more babycham and martini cocktails than were good for us. I can only apologise, but as we are all friends now, please feel free to use as many invented words as you wish - there will be no legal ramifications.

I honestly can't remember . . . why have I got a pocket full of little blue bags of salt, and crips crumbs all down my Afghan?

Who does this Jason King poster belong to? Why is it covered with lipstick kisses?

Coty perfume...wow you woz posh. I had Aquamanda. With oranges or orange flowers on the bottle.

😂😂 Jason King

@kirta phew glad that’s been cleared up, agree easily done when your occupied with the delights of the salad cart, not to notice baby kirta arrival.

AMA - ask me anything - as in I'm a chair on the London Underground, ask me anything. Actually, maybe you shouldn't

I bet in your poster Jason is reclining winsomely in a white suit, with a flouncy cravat and enough gold to pay off the National Debt. How did we not guess?

Don’t forget the platform boots & medallion.

You never mentioned the luxurious whiskery adornments, Ladies, and his shining tresses .. .

You don't often see that much hair outside of a Gorilla House.

Yes, he was quite a specimen, Schaden. And they criticise Beckham for his hair...

AMA is ask me anything
Mine was I’m a vet nurse ask me anything
But obviously everyone knew all the answers already

Aaah! Thank you Kitten

So - why are fleas such a bugger to get rid of? If Jason King had had a spaniel, which of them would have had the most fleas?

Jason definitely, he always looked like he do with a good wash.

We always used too read C&C in the loos at school, Jackie was bannned in my school (convent school)

I've found my people.

My posts often get overlooked, as well as being a frequent thread killer.
Even the few threads I've started have been largely ignored.

Look on the bright side that you've had success with this thread, so you're already doing better than me, and must therefore be less invisible than me too!

I'm sorry that I can't offer any insight into why though.
I've just come to the conclusion that I'm not worth replying to, & that I'm not adding to the discussion.

Tbh, I'm often not listened to in real life either, so it must be me.

Hello sciencels I can see you. You are not ignored here!

Hi science ! All equals here!
