And there goes my reputation for good taste and being habitually well dressed
It wasn't original???If this is gonna be a true airport lounge, I'm gonna have to walk round staring at my phone bumping into people.
I'm just wondering how come your elbows are so low they can wear a groove...

The line might have been, but by definition, it wasn't after I borrowed it. Even if I did look after it and put in another quote explaining why someone had brown eyes.
I hope you liked that line :-)

That is well dressed
They're wearing shoes, and they're shiny!
Oh and Patti isn't the only person with holiday snaps you knowhttps://www.facebook.com/TsarinaSecto...
Oh, we're gonna go look for a castle tomorrow.Old Beupre, Dave thinks it's called.
Old burper? Blimey. McMini has this mad game on his wee. You have to shake the thing up and down to make the rabbit shake a bottle of soda. Then it drinks it and does a huge burp from the top of the Arc De Triomphe. Then you get points for how much of the Champs Elysee it's managed to knock down.Hmmm... it's funnier when you play it.
Cheers

I really hope you meant Wii, Mary.That or spend an inordinate amount of time cleaning your loo.
Yeh, white thing McOther got at a carboot sale. £10 for a wii... and games... oh yeh.
I got rid of my wii years ago - it just sat under the telly gathering dust.
Obviously you were short of a McMini, Tim.Games like that even I might get one :-)
The rabbit things are a scream. There's one where you are throwing rolled up balls of paper at the teacher in a classroom. He turns round and you have to stop if you're caught he throws a book at you and you lose points. There's another one where you're on your phone in the cinema and you have to hide the phone when the usher comes in. There's one where four rabbits are eating beans and then they fart so much they take off and you have to steer them through this canyon run. It's all completely silly and McMini and I were guffawing our heads off taking it in turns. The games are all about 60 seconds long so it's easy to play together.
See the class acts I have to follow in this thread.
Raving Rabbids Mary? Has had the whole family crying tears of laughter :)

We've all done it. Oh, I've said too much!
Yes Kath. I believe you have.There's a mind picture I'm going to be spending the day trying to shake off.
Did I really just say 'shake off'?
Jeez
The phone call sketch needs saving for posterity. It would make a brilliant opening for a book, the 'look inside' bit would guarantee people read it and bought it :-)
Jim wrote: "The phone call sketch needs saving for posterity. It would make a brilliant opening for a book, the 'look inside' bit would guarantee people read it and bought it :-)"Yes, quite agree.
Although, I heard a author say recently that people don't like to buy funny books in case they are reading it in public and burst out laughing and people stare at them.
Rosemary (The Nosemanny) wrote: "Raving Rabbids Mary? Has had the whole family crying tears of laughter :)"Yes I love the mad Japanese count and the teacher's face. Also the burp one, if you don't shape the bottle he just does a very small burp and a cloud of brown gas comes out and kills the pigeon sitting next to him. So funny.
High brow humour in here.And really? An author said that David? What utter bollax came out of his mouth.
We couldn't find the medieval house, Jim. :(I need to buy Dave a satnav. Or a decent map.

But basically, I've become inured to it but I suspect McMini is 100% comedy gold... Today in church, he took a fruit snack and some water to the altar. He ate the snack as I ate communion and then had a big pull of water as I was given the wine. His own private agape, me thinks. He was also dressed as a clone trooper, complete with gun and helmet which added to the comic effect.

It'd pay better than working for a living.
It's interesting, we'd probably have been able to fit him in with our service as well, we did the 100 years of 'the lights are going out over Europe'
We started with a list of things happening on various days, this year and on the same day 1914. The very banality of this years events is only possible because of what has been sacrificed in the intervening period
I suppose its those sacrifices which mean I can get angry when the state starts to take away even more of our freedoms, to protect us

If you want a nice gloomy and foreboding castle you want this one http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_HYQioDCUA0...

Dave wouldn't be able to find it.
Who's driving?Because the one who isn't driving in the navigator ;-)
Jim, Dave grew up here. You'd think he'd know his way round, wouldn't you?
Patti (baconater) wrote: "Jim, Dave grew up here. You'd think he'd know his way round, wouldn't you?"How close to there did he grow up? It's not a big place but we pack in an awful lot of detail and it's often places twenty miles away from home that can confuse us
He also gets lost walking down the corridor to the loo.
Patti (baconater) wrote: "He also gets lost walking down the corridor to the loo."A wise lady once told me she never criticized her husband's taste or choices.
After all he'd married her so he had to be a pretty sharp and perceptive kind of chap :-)
Get back to me on that when he marries me.
Perhaps he's just trying to find the right place? He may need help with navigation :-)
A damn good shove, do you mean?

That probably explain my sales figures, then
Patti (baconater) wrote: "A damn good shove, do you mean?"I couldn't possibly comment.
However I've known girls who've achieved remarkable results with "Would you like us to get married in this church or that one" :-)
That would mean I want to marry him. ;)

He was a her. It was on the self-publishing podcast recently. Can't remember her name.
