Did you remember the shop-keeper Beattie said Not Exactly All The Rage Are They?

It was Richard Wilson from One Foot In The Grave.

:-)

AND she didn't have much in her fridge.

Her son telephoned her to say he would be late and she was going to take him one of her husband's sweaters and some sandwiches but she didn't have much in the fridge(it was loaded).

No, I don't remember Beattie.

Not exactly all the rage are they?!

I do, Brenda. She was very good and probably earned BT every penny she was paid.

Pity they don't have adverts like that any more - half the time I have no idea what they are meant to be advertising.

Sharron....don't you remember Beatie?

British Telecom advert from 1988 with Maureen Lipman - Ology ...

Someone's mother used to brag she was a Housekeeper to a local well to do family.

I imagined she run the house, ordered food, goods etc.

She was the cha-lady.



Nothing wrong with being a cha-lady. I didn't see the problem! An honest days graft is good!

:-)

No.

She didn't have much in her fridge did she?

Shame he didn't have an ology Sharron!!! :-D

Anyone remember Maureen Lipman?

OH's mother tried to impress me by telling me he had an O level.

lol The world is full of them.

:-D

Last night's bragger made a right eejit of himself when he asked where I lived :-)

Next door to his best mate lololol

Yesterday, a bloke at work in out team, was telling the temp all about his career where we work. He apparently did everything, and everyone was his 'best mate' and totally relied on him.

He was going on about a woman he used to work with, how much she apparently relied on him (she had been doing the work before he came along - he was there to learn the job, to take over whilst she went on maternity leave). Apparently, she was a 'really good friend'.

I said 'shame her marriage broke down'. He looked at me, then managed to say - yes he was no good. 'New boyfriend seems okay doesn't he?' I went on. 'Does he', said nerd. Then (thankfully) stopped the bull****
So much for being a 'good friend' of hers. He was never a 'good friend' - he was a work colleague.
She is, however, a friend of mine on Facebook :-D

I know someone who is a bragger and a complete know it all. A few months ago we were at a mutual friends garden party, this chap was going into great detail about someone's hip operation. A gentleman stepped forward and so politely explained the operations procedure. My friend then introduced him as her new next door neighbour who is an orthopaedic surgeon. I still smile whenI think about the look on Mr knowitalls face. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Many years ago I was having a drink at the Salutation Hotel in Perth, this young chap next to me started chatting, in the course of the conversation he said his father owned a top of the range motor dealership, he said that I might know it, I said I did and that the owner and his family were very good friends of mine, he disappeared to the loo and that was the last I saw of him, needless to say he had no connection with my friend or his family - silly young man :-D

We went out tonight.

We joined a group of people, they were talking about a local man, well known in NSW.

I listened in disbelief to some of the yacking.

One man in particular, was raving on about the "personality", like he was his best friend.

He looked at me, laughed, and said I probably didn't know who they were talking about.

Yes I do.

More laughing........... until

I said............ He's my next door neighbour.

The laughing and bragging suddenly stopped.

Funny about that.

I hope to see our neighbour tomorrow and give him a laugh :-D
