Ok, I've got to start this one now, as I was actually lying in bed last night thinking about it (v sad I know - insomnia was another present from the kids)
Anyway, what sort of mental images have you got of these people. I'll list mine now - no offence intended to anyone!
Mollipops - after your last post, it's got to be puff the magic dragon!
Pamina - chic city lady with dark curly hair (that's what you sounded like bc anyway).
Tigger - dungarees & wellies caked in mud - with a VERY large g&t in hand
Chanelno5 - tricky one this, as I misread your name initially & thought it was channel no 5, not nearly as upmarket I'm afraid, but now it's confused with a north sea oil rigger!
Ems - delia smith (sorry)
Lizzer - Bit like that lass from the boddies adverts (know the one I mean),
Anyway, that's my starter for ten, I'll add anymore I think of.

Jasper, yes it is the same one, isn't he cute. He used to be in the excellent medical revue duo "Struck off and die".
A friend has worked with him in medical student training by role-playing patients, so they can hone their people-handling skills before they are let loose on the wards. She says he is great to work with and has done a huge amount to change medical school thinking on interpersonal skills for doctors.
I think he was "MD" for a time in the Private Eye column as well, but doesn't do that any more.

I just stumbled across this board and have skimmed through the posts. I am afraid I can't offer such amusing pictures of people. But I can tell you I don't wear pink floaty gowns - in fact I rarely wear pink, usually just trousers. I love the bit about the oriental massage parlour! I probably live about 500 miles away from Epping (near Aberdeen). What does ylang ylang smell like? Earth mother? hmmm ... and I only have one child (but another due soon) who is sometimes naked as he is at the stage of taking his clothes off. And I am actually blond, longish wavy hair and 5'6", definately not Spanish!

Thanks to all concerned for making me laugh.

Sorry to intrude, Callie, Robinw was referring to a programme on TV called "Trust me, I'm a doctor" - hope that clears it up .

callie · 13/02/2002 12:18

Lol,Thanks sis! Can you see why I was confused?
Robinw, It wouldn't have hurt for you to point it out instead of "ignoring" me,first time round.
That was rather childish of you.

JanZ · 13/02/2002 12:53

Callie - I don't think you're being totally fair on Robinw. I can see why she didn't know what you were on about - I had to re-read her posting to undertand what you were getting at - but then, I was able to do so from a "fresh" viewpoint. Robinw "knew" what she was referring to as she was writing her posting and would not have realised that the lack of quotes around the title of the TV programme had resulted in the ambiguity that confused you.

callie · 13/02/2002 13:21

I disagree, Janz. I think she delibretly ignored me . I asked her a direct question and it would have been polite to answer. Instead she admits she saw my post and "ignored" it.
Robinw takes a dislike to quite a few people here and ignores you if you are one of them.
Quite frankly I don't care. I think she is a bit of an old bossy boots.

Joe1 · 13/02/2002 16:04

Ladies, ladies.

janh · 13/02/2002 19:45

Callie, I know exactly (exactly) what you mean but I think rising above it is the best response...

callie · 13/02/2002 20:06

Janh, Your right of course! Just couldn't help myself this time. LOL

Well, Robinw, That snooty reply is just about what i've come to expect from you.
Well I have got news for you. You are NOT a teacher and Iam not a schoolgirl.
As for winnie the pooh I quite like him ! So I'll take that as a compliment.
It must be soooo tedious for you that we don't all have your superior intelligence![NOT]

jasper · 14/02/2002 05:21

Everyone on Mumsnet has something in common with Winnie the Pooh - a friend called Tigger!

callie · 14/02/2002 07:45

Lol, Jasper! winnie the Pooh is a fat little bear and iam feeling like one today!
Perhaps I should change my name!!!

ChanelNo5 · 14/02/2002 09:01

My cold is making me feel like poo(h) at the moment!

Enid · 14/02/2002 09:25

robinw - sorry, but if Callie is Winnie the Pooh, then you must be Rabbit.

Can I be Kanga?

sis · 14/02/2002 10:27

Ohh, please be nice to eachother - and don't call me Christopher Robin for that!

callie · 14/02/2002 11:47

LOL, Enid! Nice one!

Tigger2 · 14/02/2002 17:29

Thank you Jasper, you really made my day!!

Boing, boing, boing!!

CAM · 20/02/2002 10:56

Lizzer! Thank you for saying that lovely (but sadly untrue) thing about me. Hope our mutual appreciation society doesn't annoy Malmomum too much!

Lizzer · 25/02/2002 15:20

Cam, after getting the vino pictures from Marina this week I've decided I'm far better looking than you after all, so withdraw all previous comments about youself- sorry for any inconvenience caused...

(Phew, do you think I disfused any possible situation of cliqueness there okay?? )

CAM · 25/02/2002 18:38

When I saw the photo I was amazed at how good we all looked considering it was taken after we had been drinking for 4 hours. We are all grinning hugely so we must have had a good time! Of course you are the best-looking one, there was no competition!

Lizzer · 25/02/2002 19:26

I agree with how great we all look after the wine (but what fantastic wine it was, wasn't it?) But get lost Cam you gorgeous lady you, I look like a seal honking for a fish on the pic

SueW, I promise one was sent same post as everyone else's to Mumsnet. I think there may be a holiday taking place, I'm sure it will go on the website asap.
I do have access to a scanner at work but it reposes in the Head of IT's office, presumably to stop colleagues using it for debatable purposes...boo, hiss.
