A general for general! Take a look!!

[ShelleyCowie]

Ok so since i seem to "steer off topic" :confused

Post anything you want here! Honestly....anything!! You wont be told that you are steering off topic! Unless someone is taking the micky!!

But here is a starter for u all.......

I love Fry's chocolate orange creams! I actually ate two today! Also ate 3 bags of quarter backs! I seem to have a couple of days every few months where i want to eat everything i can.....then i stop! Lol!

Anything random anybody wants to say!

[joxville]

I was asked earlier by my niece when was the last time I done something shocking. So I 'mooned' at her. [lol]

[alanabain]

Depending on what you would call random... because what i might say, you could already be thinking about and then it wouldnt be rando.im to you.

well the most random thing that i said today was about my craving to chew on a sponge ( weird pregnancy craving ). I like the feeling of the sponge in my mouth.

Bet no one was thinking about that :Razz

[Gizmo]

My son who i consider to be your average usless 16yr old has a hidden talent (well it WAS hidden...not any more) for making cakes and desserts, last week he made a chocolate sponge which was the lightest and tastiest i have ever eaten....to say i was shocked is an understatement.

[alanabain]

It must be our sisterly bond cos i thought you would post something about yer bloomin sponge!! :roll:

Haha!!

I would suggest Boots but they would be too chewy. [lol]

[alanabain]

Just to be a bit clearer....

The type of sponge i mentioned was not baking.... its a bath sponge.

I should have been more specific

apologies;)

[ShelleyCowie]

Some of the foods and drinks i love are:-

Irn Bru, Cheese, toast, cheese on toast, doughnuts, resses bars, chicken, beef, pork, crisps, carmel digestives, chocolate hobnobs, tuna, coffee, pasta.

Yup we are... you can probably tell that Shelley is the more expressive one tho (nearly a 1k.orger already)

But we have our psychic abilities he he

[Venture]

Shelley I'd love to know where you get your time and energy from. With a house to run, family to look after, loads of pets, buildings models, playing games consoles and posting nearly a 1000 times on the org in a few months. What's your secret.;)

What do you think? Her partner does it all off course!

[Metalattakk]

Post anything you want here! Honestly....anything!!

Ok, please, please will you consider the plight of the poor, overworked and underpaid exclamation point?

Every sentence you post seems to be followed with multiple incidences of extreme exclamation pointal abuse. It makes me think you're continually overdosing on Red Bull or something.

Will nobody think of the poor defenceless "!"?

[Gizmo]

will nobody think of the poor defenceless "!"?

!!no!!!!!!!!!!!!

[telfordstar]

was inverness yesterday for some much needed retail therapy. Went down with high hopes only to have them drastically smashed. the shops were the poorest ive seen them in a long time never got anything i was looking for.:~(

[ShelleyCowie]

Jox yes me and alana are infact sisters. I am the better of the 2 though. :lol:

Venture, i have no idea...my partner does not do it all, i wish he would actually. I just seem to be able to fit everything into one day. And i always have alot to say. Im a blabber box lol. Oh and a very very fast typist ;)

And Metalattakk for your sake, no exclamation marks at all. Its just habbit putting in lots of exclamation marks. I used to work for BT and would put tonnes in their logs and then get in trouble, cant help it lol.

I was meant to have a lie in today, there is never any luck i tells ya. But i did get my valentines card today. :)

[Kevin Milkins]

I am so glad that Mrs M has still a good sense of humour after 36 years.

I wrote in her card.

"To my one and only love on this very special day.


Wales V England."

Bless her.lol

[Kodiak]

did you know

Question how can a Polar Bear be left handed when they do Not have Hands.

But did you know that Polar Bears are Not White but are actually Black. It is the hollow Fibres of their fur that have no Colour that make them look white, but their skin is Black.

A Polar Bear's liver is poisonous. Grizzly Bears and Polar Bears can cross-breed, the resultant offspring is called a Pizzly Bear, or a Grolar Bear depending who the Daddy Bear was. There are only about 22,000 Polar Bears in the world.

[scorrie]

The alphabetisation of my cd collection is taking place. I could do with some help.

I've only got two CDs. Aerosmith and ZZ Top.

Are you fed up with your favourite soft drink going flat and having to pour it away, costing you more money in the long run? Do you hate putting ice cubes in your drink, only for it to be watered down as the ice melts? Well the solution to your problem is in your freezer!!!

< Crowd gasps with amazement, very loud applause, whooping and cheers American style, more applause >

Yes folks, the solution is right there in your freezer. < More applause >

Take the soft drink which has gone flat, pour into your ice maker/ice trays and pop into your freezer. Once ready, add to your favourite drink!

< More rapturous applause, whooping, back slapping >

I thank you. :cool:

My horse used to hate tyres...so every time i tried to get him over, he would jump them, straight after it he would throw me off! :roll:

I would say so yes...i hate the feeling of toes and everything. Its just gastly. my toes are nearly longer than my fingers...they are mighty long. :eek:

Bed Time! Yay!

You have digitophobia?
Such a shame it doesn't extend to her fingers. [lol]

Well she certainly doesn't suffer from yapyapyapophobia :D

[scorrie]

not the 100% proof Bacardi Scorrie[lol]

Here golach, if alcohol is 100% proof it is not Bacardi. It is not Whisky or Vodka either. It is Ethanol. Some years ago two Dounreay workers were alleged to have found the pure Ethanol left out in a lab. Some time later, one of them fell in a pit and broke his leg, the other guy was so drunk he couldn't help his mate. I think both were sacked. I am sure any "Old Chemist" could confirm this tale. I sure hope so, because he told me that story some twenty odd years ago!!

[alanabain]

Sorry Scorrie, I have worked in the Scottish Whisky trade for quite a few years, and I beg to differ, there are many types of Whisky that are over 100 proof or 51% Vol.
And even a few rums are over 100 proof, and below are a few I have tried, Pussers Blue label is my particular favourite, I only drink that in the company of special guests

Where did I say it was 100% alcohol Scorrie, I said 100 proof Bacardi, ok in my enthusiasm I added the percentage sign, I was just pointing out Bacardi is not necessarily a, as you put it a Wumans drink. Thats as near an admittance that I was in error.[lol]

Bored....................................:roll:

[Iffy]

I went to the pictures tomorrow,
And took a front seat at the back,
I fell from the pit to the gallery,
And broke a thigh bone in my back!

I had a blind man to guide me,
And saw a dead donkey die,
So I took out my dagger to shoot him,
And he landed me one in the eye !!

:lol::lol::lol: Can't get to sleep !!!!!!

I went to the pictures tomorrow,
And took a front seat at the back,
I fell from the pit to the gallery,
And broke a thigh bone in my back!

And saw a dead donkey die,
So I took out my dagger to shoot him,
And he landed me one in the eye !!

[scorrie]

Here's a story to break the boredom. It is all true:-

Some years ago, I worked in a betting office. You certainly saw all forms of life there. There was a regular character, who hailed from Castle Douglas, way in the South of Scotland. The first time I became aware of his "Walter Mitty" tales was the time he claimed his pal had driven from Castle Douglas to Wick in three hours!! Next was a story about drinking three pints of Creme de Menthe in a "wanner" and the next thing he remembered was lying on the pub floor getting the kiss-of-life from the barmaid. Anyway, one night I was covering evening racing in the bookies during a really quiet spell. My pal had come in to see what the crack was and our "hero" wandered in. I could tell there was something different about his appearance but couldn't quite place what it was. As he drew nearer to the counter, I could see that his face was unusual. It then dawned on me, he had no eyebrows!! On closer inspection I could see that his fringe was missing as well.

"Here Davy, what happened to your face?" I enquired.

"Oh, Ma chip pan went on fire last night!!" he replied.

"How the hell did you get burnt though?" I asked.

"Well, I saw the flames coming out and thought I had better look in to see if my chips were burnt. When I put my face over the pan, my eyebrows and hair caught fire!!"

"Were your chips burnt then?"

"OH AYE!!"

After a couple of bets he decided to head up the road. As he was leaving my pal and I struck up a song:-

"Burn Davy Burn, Chip Pan Inferno"

[ShelleyCowie]

[wifie]

Anything random anybody wants to say!


A bit of canibal are you, those poor guys.[lol]

OK this isn't random but is driving me nuts - what the poop is a quarter back and why did you eat 3 bags of them? I assume that like TBH suggests they are not the american footie guys cos I don't think you would get many of them to a bag! :confused

[ShelleyCowie]

[ShelleyCowie]

Sayin that i cut the OH's hair. He hates sitting in hair dressers for some reason. So we have our own clippers and i cut his hair.

And to be honest i have not had a hair cut in about 9 months. I have a fear of getting my hair cut...dont like it at all! :eek:

[joxville]

That's not a nice way to speak about your OH. :)

I was going through to the kitchen to put my sons bowl thru and do dishes and what did i see...the cat runnin away with my sausages! [evil] grrr!

My own fault for leavin them out i know but they were wrapped in kitchen foil. He ripped thru it! :~(

[teenybash]

You are probably highly intelligent and your mind is thirsty looking for something interesting to soak up............:eek:

[ShelleyCowie]

Haha highly intelligent has not really been used to describe me before! [lol]

The OH is on night shift again tonight and i dont tend to sleep when he aint here! :~(

[fuzzypeg]

i know how you feel shelleybain i havent been able to sleep properly since my boy was born.(unfortunately that was 8 years ago )

[teenybash]

Lucky you to have a bed all to yourself. My oh is trying to imitate the grunts of a wild pig...............I am waiting for the racket to hopefulyl subside and then get some sleep...........:(

[abc123]

highly intelligent has not really been used to describe me before!

< genuine surprise >

[ShelleyCowie]

Fuzzypeg its not even my son keeping me up! He has not done that since he was about 3-4 weeks old! He is a lazy wee plopp!! Sleeps from bout 9.30pm-10am! Lol!

There aint even anything decent on TV now! Have watched all the programs i recorded on sky+ aswell!

suppose i will have to give in and go to bed! Not saying i am going to sleep, going to watch battlestar galactica, starting watching all the seasons again!

Im such a geek! :confused[lol]

Night all! :Razz

[ShelleyCowie]

< genuine surprise >

:roll: It starts again!

Im off to bed before this kicks off...

[fuzzypeg]

night night shelleybain. . . . . its not my son that keeps me awake .he is fast asleep in my bed as speak. . .. its my self. i cant get myself into a sleep regime since he was concieved. . . . strangely enough!

[butterfly]

hello fuzzypeg,i am still up too,but its usual for me!

[fuzzypeg]

hello butterfly ,not unusual for me im afraid ,long days and even longer nights are a norm for me .my oh works away through week and i cant be bothered going to bed.but had a sleeping disorder when i was pregnant with my boy and think a lot of it stems from there too . . . . .

[butterfly]

fuzzypeg,my oh is on nights so i like the quietness of the house when kids are in bed,i call it my quality time,daytime is a bit hectic when they are all here!just me and the dog just now and its bliss:D

[fuzzypeg]

i know exactually what you mean peace and quiet is bliss . . . .and getting control of the tv helps too . . . when there is something decent on. . .

[butterfly]

i know what you mean tho about bad sleeping routine,it can take a while to get back into going to bed at a decent time and falling asleep.i can go to bed early but just cant fall asleep!having a baby can knock you off your routine too

[fuzzypeg]

yes, but after 8 years ... you would think there would be some form of routine. afterall kids are put to bed at seven for lights out at nine ...i just cant seem to get in one!

[butterfly]

thats the same with me!i dinna watch tv at this time,load o rubbish on so i just go on org and see what the crack is.i would like to sleep at a decent time cause some nights i am knackered but cant wind down.when the lighter nights are here i will go out walks with the dog and see if that will tire me out!

[Anne x]

Where do you get your energy from.........I want some.:)


Please Bottle it , I need some Now ! Its late Im tired Ive a sick Dog and the rest !wish I had half a sec of your energy dont mean to be be rude but do you take steroids for your asthma It would explain a lot

[butterfly]

Please Bottle it , I need some Now ! Its late Im tired Ive a sick Dog and the rest wish I had half a sec of your energy

ah anne,wish i had some of your tiredness!then maybe i could get some shut eye.are you worried about the dog?

[fuzzypeg]

sounds great . . .walking dogs at all hours . . .think my lazy lot would object, except for the pup .... the other two like thier sleep ....but i couldnt leave kids unattended anyway....bummer... suppose i should log off and try to get some sleep .....kids still got school in the morning.night night sleep tight

[butterfly]

Haha yeah mean is a gentle word...i have heard worse! Lol!

But naw cant seem to find kittens for sale anywhere in the area right now, or border collie pups! Just no luck! Once i get my mind on something like getting a new pet it bothers me until i find one!

tbh,why did schools years ago try to make left handed people write with their right hand?my friend used to get her knuckles rapped with a ruler if teacher caught her writing with her left hand.:confused

[wifie]

I am not sure but I think it goes way back - something to do wi witchcraft or devils perhaps. I could google! :roll: Is awful when you think about it as it probably stiffled these children in so many ways not to mention the humiliation!

[butterfly]

wifie,my friend is hopeless at joined up writing,just cant do it but a lovely knitter.......

[ShelleyCowie]

I knitted a toy once. It was a snowman teddy thing. Was awfully proud of myself! :Razz Could probs never do it again though! My BP was probs sky high! [lol]

[wifie]

Writing will have bad associations for her! Knitting she obviously found her own way! I am not left handed but am told I knit in a strange fashion!

[ShelleyCowie]

Ahh what...now i wish the OH was on night shift! Im gettin told "bed time, get off the org for goodness sake"

How very dare he! :eek:[lol]

Well i have to cut it short tonight then! :~( Without a doubt am back tomorrow!

Night everyone x

[TBH]

tbh,why did schools years ago try to make left handed people write with their right hand?my friend used to get her knuckles rapped with a ruler if teacher caught her writing with her left hand.:confusedI forget the details but I know it went on and the rap on the knuckles with the ruler was one of the punishments for writing with the left hand.

[butterfly]

Writing will have bad associations for her! Knitting she obviously found her own way! I am not left handed but am told I knit in a strange fashion!

she just uses right hand knitting patterns and then does it the opposite way but many left handers struggle when it comes to knitting.i used to knit years ago but prefer patchwork quilting.also like making rugs but havent done one for a while now.

[ShelleyCowie]

Ohhhhhhhhh im watching Babe the sheep pig. Love that movie! Big bairn i am i swear!

What is everybody doin enight? Any exciting plans for a saturday night? :Razz

[joxville]

Lol....trust u til say somethin like that.

Am booooooooooooooored. :(

Sorry, I forgot to mention it's on BBC 3 at 9pm.

Meanwhile, on Channel 4 at 9pm is Vera Drake, with Imelda Staunton. I watched it a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. Set in the 1950's, Staunton plays a cleaner but also does back-street abortions until the law catches up with her. It's a great film and depicts the grime of the era very well. I'd give it 10/10 for the acting and for getting the feel of the time just right.

[butterfly]

I'm going to watch The Girl Next Door. I hope her boyfriend is out. [lol]


lol i nearly choked on my maltesers![lol]

[butterfly]

this looks like a good film jox,what you stuffing your face with 2nite shelley,just finished a box of maltesers and they were followed by a crunchie:lol:

Will do in future.


No i wouldn't sit there and take someone calling me a bad parent.

its a shame you are in tears but this is what happens on the org when peoples posts get a little "annoying" , tempers flare etc its better to stop when you're ahead so to speak .

For now though i aint standing down until i get an apology.

I aint easily broken down but my parenting is to high standards. My son adores me. I take care of him well but Metalattakk is questioning that. How dare he. (i am assuming Metalattakk is a he).

Am i going to get an apology? :confused

You ain't getting one until you read, cogitate and understand what I actually said. And by the time you've done that, you'll see that an apology is certainly not required.

You questioned my parenting. Do you know me? Have you ever seen me with my son? Dont think so.

So dont ever question my parenting or call my son unfortunate.

Enough is enough from you about that.

Im a good mum, infact no i am a great mum.

EDIT - Had enough of this so closing thread.

Everyone needs to step away from the keyboard, go and make a coffee/tea/other beverage, and take a few deep breaths while counting to ten...
