purplesea Posted November 28, 2020 #9530 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I was supposed to fly down to Caribbean yesterday and was feeling a bit down but reading through the posts has cheered me up/ My mother used to work in a bank and had a customer called R U Batty, and the offices were on two floors and they would call up asking for details for R U Batty and the reply would come back No are you? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eddie99 Posted November 28, 2020 #9532 Share Posted November 28, 2020 There was an article in the local paper a couple of weeks ago about a couple who had quickly rearranged their wedding to avoid this lockdown. They really were Mr/Ms White and Mr/Ms Christmas ... and they’re going to hyphenate The White-Christmasses Aaargh! ⛄️🌲 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare silkworms Posted November 28, 2020 #9537 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Having just seen Sky news with all the commotion with protesters in various parts of the country regarding tier system and anti vaccine, I am totally perplexed. I just don’t understand the mentality of some people. This dreadful virus does not spread itself, people spread the virus. Why do I understand that but other people don’t?

Ardennais Posted November 28, 2020 #9539 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I’m feeling chuffed with myself - 4 hours shopping and I’ve bought the remaining Christmas presents, before the end of November. A new record in this house. The children and the other half will sort out the food - that’s definitely not my department. We have a standing order for a fresh turkey from a local farm which is always delicious. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted November 28, 2020 #9546 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) I have just come back to this thread after spending most of the afternoon on the phone, for some strange reason everyone seemed to want to talk to me today. It has taken me a while to read through but I have really enjoyed it. The posts about odd names made me remember a girl at school named Hazel Nutt, what were her parents thinking when they named her ? When I was working, I went in one Monday morning to a note on my desk from our head of department that said "Sunday will be arriving from Nigeria on Monday" Edited November 28, 2020 by Josy1953 Spelling 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
