If you put two Pringles between your lips it looks like a duck's beak. I live life on the edge.

Love it! One of my favourite pics of the kids when they're little is sitting with pringle beaks!

It's a bit from a poem/hymn

Behind a frowning providence he hides a smiling face

I'm a massive fan of the legendary Bette Midler and Vicky Eadie was the name of a character in one of her stage shows back in the 70s (if you've never heard it, her 'Live at last' album is just fabulous).
The "of thigh" bit relates to one of the lighthearted MN forums that I think has now disappeared.

@SpeculatingRooks i literally quoted that very line upthread, the “mockery out of you boy” is my favourite part. That and “MAUREEEEN” 😂 I’m going to have to watch it again now

TeabySea · 16/09/2024 09:36

Reading that the word "tea" was mostly applied to tea transported by sea (apparently the word "chai" refers to the same product transported by land).
Not sure it's 100% accurate, but it rhymes, and I like tea.

Scammersarescum · 16/09/2024 09:38

A pensioner in his mid eighties I know getting scammed out of over 20K. The last of his life savings despite telling the nice man on the phone about his wife's severe cognitive decline and how tough that was. They kept him on the phone for HOURS. Not a single shred of human decency.

He got the money back in the end, but it made me want to burn the scammers and Im usually level headed about crime and punishment.

I had to change it because a thread got a bit toxic

My current user name is because I have totally lost my sense of smell. Although I do change my user name from time to time an other user names have been random.
