The Cloak of Invisibility

That's one of those seriously disturbing philosophical questions, isn't it? Either that or I've finally achieved complete non-status ;-)

As well as invisible are you now intangible and ineffable (whatever tbat is).

I think it means you can't eff. But you can probably still blind, although effing and blinding as a joint activity is probably no longer available to you.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Thats an effing disgrace.

Oh, believe me, I can. You would be surprised how many people want me to, one way or another ;-)

[Philip]

Just let me do the buttons up and I'll be with you.

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh reminds me.

Dave needs some shirt buttons sown on.

I should get the needle and thread out for him so he can do that when he gets home tomorrow. ;)

[Kath]

I hate sewing buttons on. I'd prefer to make a complete new shirt (I used to make Himself's shirts when the Grandad style was in - now he IS a grandad, it's not. Oh the irony!)
Oh, MAKE me do the ironing!

[Philip]

It's rather odd that the more 'friends' I develop on here (and I seem to be getting more every day), the fewer people take any notice of me! Every time I contribute to a thread, it's tumbleweed city. Is it something I said? Is it something I didn't say? This isn't my room, where's teddy?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

There, there, we'll have teddy for you in a minute. Just drink this nice green drink for me like a good boy.

No. Won't. Can't make me, 'specially not after what I saw last time I drank that!

So that's where the absinthe went!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Ok - have the blue one instead. I need to finish off the blue raspberry Mickey Finn.

Well, you know what they say, "Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder"

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

So you love us all now, do you?

[Vanessa (aka Dumbo)]

I find Absinthe makes me pissed lol.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

As long as you're not pissed off!

No, just my teddy!

I presume my parents named my teddy as he was a present for my first christmas (or so I was told). They must have liked the name because when my brother arrived some years later he got the same name.

[Tim]

So, your brother is named after your teddy? How does he feel about that?

More importantly, how does the teddy feel?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

'I am Teddy, hear me roar!'

I'll ask him tonight.


Did I say my BIL also has the same name??

Must make it confusing if anyone shouts for someone at a family gathering ;-)

[Vanessa (aka Dumbo)]

My childhood teddy's name is Cuddles.

Oh it does. What makes it worse is that we shorten BIL's name but not brother's & his family do the opposite.

& both of them actually use their second names - which makes it more confusing because official things they sign with their first names (& I look & think who the heck is Paul?...Oh of course.) {{They do have different first names }}

They are not the only odd-named people in the family though. My niece uses her middle name. Best of all was grandma's brother who was christened William James and always called Tim. Grandma had several canaries that she called Tim - which must be almost as good as having your teddy bear and brother with the same name.

My teddy was called Roxinne when I first got it but that got changed to Roxanne when the Police song came along. So the only teddy who was called after a prostitute I would think. Well I was only 13 and didn't realise what the song was about....

Bet it came as a nasty surprise to the teddy!

Cute!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

That teddy had a great deal of loving, and showed the effects of it by the end of it's life. The name was the least of it's worries!

[Vanessa (aka Dumbo)]

I've still got my teddy. Come to think of it he needs a good wash, but he's not tatty though.

[Patti (baconater)]

I had a stuffed monkey called Maggie.

Went through four of us kids then both my sister's girls.

I think the only original bit left is its rather gruesome plastic face.

My little brother chewed both its plastic ears off.

I think he was about 14 at the time...

[Philip]

They tend to go ape at that age anyway.

[Jay-me (Janet)]

Found this and decided to have a bit of quiet time.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Jay-me (Janet)]

Gets fly spray out, must get rid of that wasp

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

*choke, cough, splutter*

Hey! I just came in for a nice quiet snooze, and you start spraying me with nasty stuff. Huh!

[Jay-me (Janet)]

Sorry I thought there was a wasp, I was just settling down for a picnic.
