to find the expression 'loved up' really irritating ?

[MaryAnnSingleton]

not sure why, it just grates.

Swedes, that's the second post this week you;ve started this. I'm beginning to think you are obsessed.

If it helps, i'm into total equality so wouldn't dream of answering unimportant questions like that, and won't confirm whether I'm white, black, blue, yellow, abled, disabled, gay, straight, or just plain great. I'm not disgruntled, or gruntled. If I thought any of those things would make a difference to you I'd ask for you to be quietly hushed into a corner. Although I know now that this is Pedants Corner.

Now, anything else I can help you with today ? (bank speak aaaarrrrgggghhhh)

He's male.

TheMagnificent7 - Sorrreeeee. It's just I'm trialling gender detector software and it keeps flashing up weird bloke.

no idea, btw. as you were.

Onebat - Thank you. I'm so glad my gender software works. Onebat you are coming up as a cross dressing tranny but the true gender is unclear. Am I bang on?

Swedes, might be time to action that memo re going to bed?

fortuitous x-post goodnight my dears

The funniest thing happened to me at swimming this evening. It was explained to me in the showers that the lane swimmers have a mid summer (july) and Christmas meal out and would I like to come along.

Swedes, to answer you properly, I may have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a hairy-handed trucker.

You were.. noodie?

Do you have excellent breasts, Swedes? Perhaps they feel that their Christmas table lacks excellent breasts, if so?

And how on earth did the conv. begin?

I thought so.

Must go to bed. You need a good night's sleep - busy day for you tomorrow. Hope it's OK.

No certainly not nude (I was brought up in staunch Catholic household and feel embarassed if my calves are nude in a skirt). In a swimming cozzie. Shatting in the poolside showers. It's the same people every night.

Shatting - LOL I mean chatting of course.

Your silences say so much (you do have excellent breasts, then )

Goodnight my dear.

My breasts are far from excellent. Were I pressed to describe them I would choose the word lowing.

SHATTING in the showers has made me weep with laughter, quite unexpectedly.

roffle

Especially the thought of all your friends (it's the same people every night) shatting with you.

( Low"ing ) n. The calling sound made by cows and other bovine animals.

You've freaked me now - excellent and .. alive?

Lowering. In fact just low. (I knew as soon as I typed it it was incorrect).

How low can they go?

Quite low, I believe.

shoulder/Continental soldier comes to mind.

But we MUST go to bed - now!

Yes, night night, dear.

Lol. Love the MN knowledge. The wiseness of Mum's.

I know a man that had a sex change but now lives with a woman. Does that make her gay in which case why bother with the cockoctomy in the first place ?

I'll leave all this shatting in the chowers and go to bed after a long consultation of my 'paranoia, and it's encouragement by alcohol' book. Then a quick look at the boob chart to see where 'lowing' stands. The description 'fisheyes' is my favourite.

Goodnight all. Miss you already (aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

I hate "loved up" as well, and "I'm loving" anything - bloody poor English.
Apologies to Americans but I can't stand being asked by anyone if they can "fix me a coffee" - the temptation to ask how the coffee was broken is immense.

When I worked in a lab, we used to get docs phoning up "chasing results" - eventually I got so irate with this, I did actually ask one of them "Why? Are you a greyhound?"
Amazed no one reported me really

"wiseness of Mum's"

Arrghh! You are doing it on purpose. I hope.

Wisdom of mums!

"Years of age" does it for me.... three wholly superfluous words
