That was lovely for her.

And on the note of things being lovely, this could be our last posts ever on bfc. Everyone's been fantastic.

It was a shortened version of "Horrible Horace"! Don't ask ... :shrug:

Hi Gary, and thank you, but I made a huge fuax pas, which I've pm'd you about. Long story as to why I got it wrong, but he's actually going to California - Meadow Vista. It's just over 43 miles from Sacramento, or ... almost 124 miles to Carson City (Nevada?). He'll be flying direct to San Francisco...

This is how growing up should be, but sadly, many kids today'll never have the pleasure of it. My parents're also fantastic. They brought us up quite strictly, and yet gave us free rein in some ways, but always with guidance and love. They basically paved the way for us to do the best we could, and ...

Lazy burger! Mind you, I suppose when needs must ....

That was nice for your mum. Do you mean "girls" as your sisters, or daughters?

Very profound of you Watson!

I don't have many bad skeletons ... hence not having a bad bone in my body! LOL!

:lol: Tarquin sounds so posh to me. It makes me laugh.

Horace? That used to be a nickname for me. : (

LOL - I know what you mean Gary, so don't feel bad about saying it. Most of us love our mothers, but we can also see their bad points - or good, as the case may be! : )

:lol: It's called having skeletons in the cupboard isn't it? I think everyone has them.

LOL - and no doubt you southerners're going to keep any "lovely" weather to yourselves. It's another dull one today. I've only been outside briefly, and it didn't feel too good.

:lmao1:

I know - it's dreadful isn't it? Does anyone get called that any more? :shock:

Hubert's still vaguely around though, and presumably abbreviated to Hugh, or Hew. Even so ..... :???:

:lol:

Limericks come, and now they must go
Funny or complex, made a good show.
We can't replace them
could always trace 'em?

My brain hurts ....

But never an illiterate pig. : )

Yes, great but cringe-worthy memories.

You can't shorten it into anything nice though. Herbie/Herb's fine! : )

:lol:

So am I, but I rarely use it in a meaningful way. If I'm sarcastic, it's usually when I'm joking, but I'm pretty good at put-downs and remarks if I'm returning something which's been said to me. I don't usually bother though. Sticks and stones and all that, but I find it juvenile.

I wouldn't allow anyone to take advantage of me, but what I meant was, sometimes I have an acid remark on the tip of my tongue (sometimes deservedly so), but I try and refrain from perpetuating what is, after all, a childish situation. Swapping banter's a different kettle of fish though. No one take...

A woman was born with eight toes.
Her mom said, "Let's see how it goes."
Her shoes were fair tight,
Her toes out of sight
but far lesser smell up her nose!

You're so right.

I was brought up to believe that you treat people as you'd wish to be treated yourself, but I must confess that there're times when it's not easy!
