Are photovoltaic roof panels permissible for the list.

That Doreen What a wonder...I had no idea. If I was naming it I would call it something with a bit more gravitas. I was thinking The Ismael Kingdom Doreen bra.

adamschic · 21/10/2011 20:35

Pah, pass for 35! I got ID's the other day and I'm 50. I was so flattered that the shop assistant refused to serve me a bottle of wine.

Pagwatch · 21/10/2011 20:35

Fucking Nora. The list is alphabetised.

You lot are so clever.

SuePurblybiltFromBitsofCorpses · 21/10/2011 20:35

Oh, I'm not list monitor. No chance.

Everyone who wants to add to the list - the list of things wot we won't need/won't exist when all the MA Wimmin sail off to HRT Island - can insert their suggestion, neatly bolded please, in the appropriate place. Note alphabetical list.

See? Am delegating.

SuePurblybiltFromBitsofCorpses · 21/10/2011 20:36

YY to the Doreen always being a puzzle. I wondered if it was one of those names that was more glamorous elsewhere - like Sharon.

Hullygully · 21/10/2011 20:36

Hmm Third Assistant Deputy List Manager 1st Class

And may I remind new and oldcomers that the list arose out of all the things we can get rid of once we have shovelled the MAW off to HRT Island.

Fucking Nora. The list is alphabetised. You lot are so clever.

Easy: copy it into word, convert to table, sort alphabetically, convert back to text, copy into post.

So hully, do you hit 50 before or after me?

I sort of want to be the elder statesman in our relationship. I can be Ted to your flighty Margaret.

Hullygully · 21/10/2011 20:39

You do have to admire List Manager Vermicious. Roald would be so proud.

Can we add shrugs? And looking after pot plants properly?
I have been an old bint since I was 28. So, for 12 years.
Yay me.

Hullygully · 21/10/2011 20:40

ThevermiciousKnid

Ooh. That is all clever and stuff

TheVermiciousKnid · 21/10/2011 20:40

Grin I quite liked being list manager. Unfortunately I had some work to do. But SuePurbly is doing a superb job. Wink

garlicBreathZombie · 21/10/2011 20:40

Yes, Fabby, but your emotional development got stuck at a young age did it not? My emotional development feels as old as Methuselah and I suspect it has arthritis.

Adamschic, we all know the real reason they refused to serve you is that you were too pissed.

Hullygully · 21/10/2011 20:40

Definitely looking after pot plants properly. For the ps alone. And taking cuttings, I think, especially from parks.

OP posts:
Pagwatch · 21/10/2011 20:41

Ted is much distracted by biscuits of late.

He is a good sort.

I am but days away....

Hullygully · 21/10/2011 20:42

I know. I am days too. We are like cosmic twin things dude.

What was I saying?

I have forgotten what I am doing here.

Lawks, I do. I do take cuttings from parks Blush. Never gardens or RHS-type places though.

JamieComeHome · 21/10/2011 20:44

I actually don't like plants in pots. I think it's cruel, like caging a bird. They should be out there, roaming free in parks and gardens (plants, not birds. Or birds as well, actually)
