Got it! ... I think. Did this tutor kick off lessons by turning your ward into a fish!

Loved that book but the episode with the ants was a bit peculiar. Must re-read it. Thanks for the reminder Pogle.

My son is a lovely little chap - interested in lots of things, full of questions - I am sure that he's very bright and will go far. However, some local lout got upset at my son's questions and attacked him, drastically altering his appearance. AIBU to expect the NHS to pay for the necessary plastic surgery?

Pogleswood · 24/04/2009 17:36

Yep,Moomin!
Plastic surgery..plastic surgery?

MoominMymbleandMy · 24/04/2009 18:13

Sunny, if your child exercised his 'satiable curiosity by the banks of the great, grey-green, greasy Limpopo river, then I am afraid he got what was coming to him.

But, cheer up, that trunk is going to come in very useful for speeding irritating relations on their way! So definitely YABU to even consider plastic surgery.

Pogleswood · 24/04/2009 18:39

Oh, I knew I was going to kick myself about this one!

MoominMymbleandMy · 24/04/2009 18:51

Any ideas on Poledra's, Pogle, because I still haven't a smidgen of a clue?

So is my hero BU to worry his patrician girlfriend is just having a passing fling with a bit of rough? Tempus fugit and all that.

Pogleswood · 24/04/2009 19:34

No,I'm stuck on Poledra's too (more clues ,she asks hopefully?)
But I think your hero is BU - there is more to a successful relationship than coming from a similiar background, - I'm sure he has many stirling qualities.(he may find her a little bossy though..)

MoominMymbleandMy · 24/04/2009 20:47

Poledra! Help! Please?

Yes, I think you're right about his qualities Pogle. Let's hope he doesn't make a pig's ear of it.

Poledra · 24/04/2009 21:06

Sorry, have been away from the PC most of the day!

There's been some really bizarre murders recently, and now my lover (DH's best mate) has been taken in for questioning by the police . I cannot believe he is implicated in this.......

MoominMymbleandMy · 24/04/2009 21:51

Hmmm...

Pogleswood · 24/04/2009 22:38

Came to look at these ,but brain seizing up! Think I will have Early(ish) night and try again tomorrow...

MoominMymbleandMy · 24/04/2009 22:52

I know the feeling! Night all.

llandb · 25/04/2009 12:11

'Mornin' All! (Oh... err... 'Afternoon!)

Y'all have me stumped

MoominMymbleandMy · 25/04/2009 16:19

It's a very particular type of potted plant...

CJCregg · 25/04/2009 21:51

Would it be one that ought to be kept aloft?

Poledra · 25/04/2009 23:05

I think perhaps I have chosen a book I love but that doesn't really qualify as that well-known - sorry!

Further clues - my lover has a friend from way back in his childhood who worries me a bit. He lives all alone in the back of beyond and is a little, well, intense. Ex-army man.

MoominMymbleandMy · 26/04/2009 13:09

Flying proudly, CJ! I wonder what they look like actually, as I think they've gone completely out of fashion.

Poledra, I am so sorry, I am being completely thick here. If no one else can get it I'll have to beg you for the title because it sounds intriguing.

AIBU to think that instead of wasting his time on writing a diary, my DH could do a few of the odd jobs urgently needed around our new home?

Poledra · 26/04/2009 14:38

Is your DH a bit of a Nobody, Moomin?

MoominMymbleandMy · 26/04/2009 15:24

Alas, Poledra, you have hit the nail on the head.

MoominMymbleandMy · 26/04/2009 15:32

AIBU to think my DH is going a bit over the top with his mid-life crisis?
He has dragged our DS, our adopted DD and me to live on a bleak island.

Pogleswood · 26/04/2009 20:03

Oh dear,still can't work out any of these - the shame.....Am beginning to feel I ought to know Poledra's though.
The first butterfly I saw this year was brown - AIBU to go sraight back to sleep for the rest of the year?

llandb · 26/04/2009 20:03

'Ello again! Been making nice to new neighbours by drastically lowering height of light-blocking shrub (so that it's back to shrub height) so they ease off pressure to lower height of fence... lovely people but I just can't deal with that level of chattiness of a morning, so the shrub gets it.

And far too many spiders lived in that shrub - eek!

Anyway, books!

Errrmmm... need more clues, Moomin!

Meanwhile, AIBU to resent the use of peanut butter as a condiment?

salome64 · 26/04/2009 20:14

laydeeez! back from bucolic romping far from PCs of any kind.

I am now a teacher in the foreign boarding I was sent to as a child. AIBU in being upset that the fellow teacher whom I have fallen in love with is off to work abroad for several years, and I don't even know if he will come back?

MoominMymbleandMy · 26/04/2009 20:44

Pogle, don't go back into hibernation! You've eaten all the pine cones already. And what if the next one is golden.

My DH now wants us to move into the lighthouse! We have no idea what happened to the previous lighthouse keeper but suspect it may have been something unpleasant.

MoominMymbleandMy · 26/04/2009 20:57

Hope you enjoyed the romping Salome. Now, does your heroine have a chilly surname?

llandb, you need a cat to eat the spiders, and I need more clues...please.
