General Chat

:-D :-D Nice, Rose. Such a short time, isn't it. Hope you have some fun before and after watershed.

Me being thick and all that, I have been struggling with your "POVBC" on another thread. Think I have just sussed it.

"I have an out of date point of view" :-D :-D

Time for me to be honest Rose
I don't want you to go I like reading your opinions
I also like hearing about your life experiences
and I would miss you :-( :-

(and also you once did something that I wont forget -- a good thing)
your honesty was much appreciated on that occasion :-D :-D

12 John , days that is, or maybe it's 11? not sure which midnight it ends at lol, If i turn into a pumpkin I shall know then i suppose :-)

No we won't fall out, who knows you might write a best seller and then i can say " I knew him before he was famous" ;-)

Thank you LaGooner :-)

To be honest, Rose - I read almost all your posts and I don't think I have EVER read one by Fred. I am sure he has an audience.

I hate to think we are going to fall out in your last 68 days on Genes - which will be a longer farewell than the witty gentleman who (like the Scottish play) must not be mentioned - though everyone knows who he is :-D ;-)

But if it is has to end in a fight, I shall raise my little gloved donnies :-D :-D

Honesty is the best policy in my books Rose. You are a woman to my own heart I always tell it the way it is . I shall miss your posts

I'm always honest Joy , often I temper it with politeness, or kindness, eg not saying 'your bum DOES look big in that" lol, but maybe "the other skirt is much nicer " ;-)

John I wasn't "rambling" , the larger part of what i said was quoting...you of all people should appreciate that! Frederick tells off colour and/or offensive jokes on a regular basis and not much else...though please if you can find a quote from him that isn't smutty or abusive in some way, feel free to post it here:-) I'm not averse to some witty discourse ;-)

I find it so difficult to stick my tongue out. But you do ramble a lot, Rose. That Fred was spot on :-D ;-) Can't see this thread taking off. Most posters are plain scared of you:-0 :-0 Me included:-( :-(

Ta re book. Really enjoying being back in academia after nearly 50 years away. Off to traipse round the inner sancti of Cambridge again very soon, and it makes me feel very special (like James Blunt when he met Bill Clinton) ;-)

CANT THINK
why would anybody want to have a pop at your Rose :-D :-D

AT LEAST YOUR HONESY IN YOUR OPINIONS :-) :-)

Pop back at you Roy :-)

apropos of nothing much I used to sell wooden pop guns :-)

As you have asked i feel it would be rude not tooooooooo

POP @ Rose

Roy :-P

~~~ John, in answer to your question on that other thread, yes I am off , not renewing , but good luck with your book!

;-) ah go on Susan I bet there is someone out there who'll risk it ;-)

You're far too clever for your own boots. Stand one step back, Susan with.

LOL Rose.....as if one would dare :-D

now's your chance, make it quick and to the point. :-D
