General Chat

The newbies on the GR team have a lot to answer for imo. The original thread wasn't offensive and neither is this one.

AnnC has a brilliant sense of humour which brightens up this chat board. In fact, I've just been reading a few of her many humorous comments posted on a long thread (which I copied) 4 years ago about *saucy* names of people from the past (Fanny Craddock being one of the cleanest, if you get my drift!) Brummiejan (is she still around?) also posted many times on that thread and I put in my pennysworth from time to time, plus others. Would I dare do that now . . . . . . ooh, shock, horror at the thought of it :-0

Off to carry on with my knitting and pursing my lips :-P :-P :-P

Aw, Ann, I thought you were going to tell us again about your ex-work colleague Michael Hunt there for a minute ;-) :-D

I have a feeling his parents were a little naive :-D :-D

There's plenty of John Thomas's about. ;-) ;-) ;-)
