Keeping a good black coat and shoes for "best".

Garlicbread, that's what they said but I know the real reason, oh yes, I look under 25 and am gorgeous Grin.

TheVermiciousKnid · 21/10/2011 20:45

Plants roaming free, that's what those 'Heavy Plant Crossing' signs are for.

Bird tables.
Making lardy cake thing for birds.
Those little wire things full of nuts and seeds for birds.
Giving a shit about birds, generally.

Pagwatch · 21/10/2011 20:49

Oh. I love you too Jamie. I listed you as my person I most agree with the other day.

Have any of you noticed that I have had wine this evening for the first time in ages?

I called someone a sanctimonious cow. And said fuck off a lot. And got deleted. I am being all old and grumpy.

Yes. That's really old isn't it?

Less than a month.

Pagwatch · 21/10/2011 20:52
Grin I like to call it pithy Maryz.

Nah. Still there. I will be ashamed in the morning.

JamieComeHome · 21/10/2011 20:52

blimey Pag. Am deeply deeply touched. You are the wise old women of Borneo to me (I think I might be mixing sayings up).

gobbolinothewitchscatinboots · 21/10/2011 20:55

Isn't it The Hairy Woman if Borneo?

I thought the Wise Woman was from somewhere else.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 21/10/2011 20:57

goblin i'd rather you didn't talk about me while i'm only out the room Grin.

gobbolinothewitchscatinboots · 21/10/2011 20:57

Pagwatch · 21/10/2011 20:57

Bearded woman of Borneo would be close.

Those tweezers with a light at the end are priceless.

ThePathanKhansWitch · 21/10/2011 21:00

RubyR now why did you say that?

rycooler · 21/10/2011 21:01

No no - do not google 'old bald woman'

ThePathanKhansWitch · 21/10/2011 21:01
