'disappearing into the ethos'

[MaryAnnSingleton]

...just heard on Radio London...quite sweet really.

LOL

I always like people's pacific objectives in meetings, it sounds so wave-lapped and serene

sounds very balmy ! An estate agent last week was telling my dad about the gallery kitchen in the house they went to look at

I wish! We have one of those.
My all time fave has to be the erstwhile colleague selling a house with his wife, also a librarian, who showed some manifestly puzzled buyers round one evening.
In the end curiosity got the better of the visitors and one of them asked "Please don't think us rude, but are you really from Liberia?"

!

one of my favourites is my mother when writing an airmail letter put Par Avignon on the envelope - obviously it was going via France...

MaryAnn, that's gorgeous (the Avignon)

I work in a place where people get semi-colons right, so don't have the (occasional) joy of these things professionally.

So instead, and not a propos, the mention of an estate agent permits me to recount a classic EA typo (spotted by my dear friend Hobnob): "entrance, comprising lobby with frosted glass doors leading to hell"

That's very Abigail's Party bink!
Love Par Avignon, delicieux

bink

I'm much more high tech - I disappear into the ethernet.

kew !

Funny!

lol

"Disappearing into the ethos" could be quite a good pun under the right (highly specific) circumstances, mind you >

my fave radio moment was when Tara Palmer Tomkinson was described as the 'the I.T girl' on r2 - a la nerdy geek who fixes yer 'ethernet' rather than 'all that' lol...
she forever the I.T girl in this house now.

the

's

lol at these!

I once read an interview with a singer from Girls Aloud (or one of those types of bands). Apparently this singer loved shoes and took great care when choosig which ones to wear for gigs, photo shoots etc because she'd heard that shoes were like the windows to your soul.

My South African BIL's favourite story was when he was talking to a woman who was a real social climber/wannabe snob, who said she wanted to move to a more effluent neighbourhood (in a thick SA accent!!)

My NCT teacher described the 'spiral of intervention' as a 'vicious circus' - a description of birth that endured in my imagination.

This has reminded me of an ex of mine who used to talk about 'self-fulfilling prophets'. It used to make me want to clobber him.

lol at vicious circus.

I've been sitting here staring at this thread for ages and thinking: What's wrong with it?.. staring into the ethos is right. Then I suddenly GOT it....

Slight change of theme.

My MIL once made us a very nice meal which we decided to eat outside as the weather was warm and sunny . She said, "Isn't this great? It's just like dining al fresco"

My dh used to describe someone as being a minefield of information. (I wonder who he gets from?)

aww mercy !
