BritFish · 20/05/2010 15:22

im choking on my sticky bun with laughter.
OP, okay, in all seriousness what she did wasnt nice. but it has produced something wonderful. a poem and a truckload of tree jokes.

Cadders1 · 20/05/2010 15:22

Oh come on - this is hilarious! Really aghast?! pmsl.

VoulezVouzCrochezAvecJACK · 20/05/2010 15:32

InjuredTree, meet your cousin PiercedTree

TinyApeInBigPants · 20/05/2010 15:35

Have to say I would be too.

Completely unnecessary imo.

I hear you Fibilou.

InjuredTree · 20/05/2010 15:38

VVCAJ - that was a tough time for our family tree indeed. But it ended happily as they became inseparable.

Butterball · 20/05/2010 15:40

I'm torn between wanting to soothe the poor OP and wanting to pmsl at all the puns.

SpiritualKnot · 20/05/2010 20:20

Thought I'd just "log" on to see how this thread is getting on.

Sigh! I tried!

cupcakesandbunting · 20/05/2010 20:21

She was just an uneducated ignorant old biddy. . . . .and didnt know no betta !!!!!!

Irony.

Monty100 · 20/05/2010 23:58

She might see the error of her ways if she's an mn-er.

Touch wood.

AngelsOnHigh · 21/05/2010 06:04

It doesn't compare to the fat old lady I saw at our local club. (Never go there but took DM there because she wanted to have lunch there).

Noticed the fat old lady because she was munching on a piece of bread as she was spooning pasta onto her plate.

She then proceeded to scrape the pasta off the server with the piece of bread she was eating and put the server back in the pasta and went on her merry way.

This is a pretty upmarket club with lots of staff hovering around. I complained to one and he took the offending spoon and pasta dish away.

I only had lemon chicken to eat and I waited until the chef put out a new batch before serving myself.

RustyBear · 21/05/2010 06:33

On a slightly more serious note, I can't see why the OP feels the need to say it was an old woman?* What does her age have to do with it?

*if I wasn't trying to make a serious point, I might say I was stumped by this....
