imagine a clock, one hand at 6, one between 2 and 3 - I'm bendy and all but not THAT bendy

Ok you reeled me back in.

So like Gonzo's nose?

SpringySponge · 09/09/2009 22:43

Good lord. That would require some serious acrobatics!

Speaking of such low-brow matters, I have to brag here (because where else can I?!) - I bought a mooncup the month a got pregnant, before I knew, obviously. Then forgot I had it. So I never got to use it before this month. You can buy two sizes - one for if you're under 30 and haven't had a vaginal birth, or a bigger one if those aren't both the case. My small, young / non-birthed vagina size still fits

Argh, he just predicted the lottery numbers. I don't understand. Scary stuff!

Yes and it's fair to say I wasn't the most sympathetic I do believe the phrase 'What the F is that?!' came out of my vodka-induced self!

SpringySponge · 09/09/2009 22:46

Ooh, our thread is on the 'most active' list once again!

& alcohol is a marvellous thing

BabyBolat · 09/09/2009 22:47

The actual lottery numbers?

Moon cups also scare me.

PuzzleRocks · 09/09/2009 22:47

BB - Do you know what ever became of him? I only ask because very well have topped himself that night.

BabyBolat · 09/09/2009 22:48

ha - now we need nutts back so we can be on there permanently - xx

Alcohol is marvellous but also very very bad!

SpringySponge · 09/09/2009 22:49

Yes, it would appear so. I mean obviously he can't have done, but I don't know how he gave the illusion of it. It was all live & everything. He had 5 ping pong balls on a stand which you could see the whole time. & a tv. Then they read out the numbers on BBC1 & he wrote them down on a piece of card. Then stood behind the balls & turned the balls around (by the stand, so he didn't touch the balls) & the numbers on the back of them matched. I don't understand!

BabyBolat · 09/09/2009 22:51

PUZZLE don't say that - apparently he looked very lost walking out our house looking for the train station No i know he was fine because at some point I had given him my number and he kept texting asking to go out (yes even after that!!)

BabyBolat · 09/09/2009 22:52

did he right the number before or after they came up on BBC -

SpringySponge · 09/09/2009 22:53

He wrote the number on the card after, to hold as a comparison against the numbers on the balls which appeared to be already there.

& wow, I think you should've given him a chance just for the persistence!

BabyBolat · 09/09/2009 22:53

Auld - just got your chicken reference

BabyBolat · 09/09/2009 22:54

Ah no. he obviously had someone or something telling him the numbers!

SpringySponge · 09/09/2009 22:56

But they were already on the balls. You could see the balls (but not what was written on them) the whole time. I don't know how he'd have put the numbers on them afterwards. Of course it must be a trick, but I really have no idea how.

SpringySponge · 09/09/2009 22:58

The thread about the Derren Brown thing - only the very end of it is relevant, as it started a couple of days ago.

PuzzleRocks · 09/09/2009 23:00

Oops, nodded off. I'm really going to bed now. Goodnight. x

BabyBolat · 09/09/2009 23:13

"..don't wanna be....all by myseeeeeeelf..."

Feeling very old - 21?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - not even a coy "21 again", a real bona fide "nearly 21". Cripes that's how young my mum was when she had me.

Guimauve · 10/09/2009 07:17

Oh FFS. Some of us are here, day in day out, tolerating the tumbleweeds. Then you two return and go and you have a big conversation, with animal sex and ladyboys and everything, and I went to bed at 10

BabyBolat · 10/09/2009 07:44

Sorry Guimauve - would you like to talk about ladyboys this morning?

If it's any consolation you must be very well rested, however I look like a dog's arse with a son that has decided 5.30 is his new play time xxx

BabyBolat · 10/09/2009 08:21

Did you see, did you see- Nutty gets her broadband back NEXT WEEK - Get on.

AuldAlliance · 10/09/2009 08:21

Morning all.
Right, I have a list of things to do about the length of Great Expectations, so won't be around much .
Hope you all have a nice day, I look forward to reading screeds of posts about ladyboys and other delights on my lunch break.
