[E.M. T.]

TQS is educational, for sure !!

[Norma H.]

and I thought I knew some English :shock:

[E.M. T.]

You ladies are really giving me a chuckle! I did not even keep up with this thread, because heck, I'm not in the UK and not going to the fabric sale! What was I thinking! Of course the thread was not going to stay on topic! :shock: I should know that by now! There are no irish lace curtains here, as we are buried under a foot of snow. None on the inside either! Not sure why, but I''m not complaining! As far as English goes, "I'm gonna nuke my joe, sit a spell, and then fix them vittles for the bread winner." :wink:

dawn: you go girl!

Awesome, Dawn!!

Years ago we had a family membership for the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds), and I took my young sons bird-watching a lot. It got us all out of the house, and was something we could do together. So I wasn't surprised when they were discussing 'birds' at breakfast and during dinner. Took me a day or two to realize that my sons' testosterone levels had gone up and they were discussing girls. It then intrigued me that they both seemed to be mainly interested in girls who were physically active ('fit birds'). It took me a little longer to work that one out. Languages are soooo 'mean'!

Many years ago some friends from my civil war society regiment were at a weekend muster at Scarborough (on the coast) and during some spare time (from bashing up roundheads) then went to see what they could see from & on the cliffs there. Ian had the binoculars and was looking along the beach at the sun bathers, whilst Jean was looking at the edges of the cliffs, the conversation was as follows
Jean 'Are those some shags? (a type of bird)
Ian 'Potentially, potentially.' :wink:

How can anyone be miserable, I have just spent the last half hour reading this thread and laughing my socks off :lol: my husband came in to see what I was laughing :roll: at, I too have irish lace curtains and dust that needs re-arranging but as housework only comes before quilting in the dictionary what the heck :wink: Off to put the borders on my latest quilt and thank you again girls for cheering up a grey, rainy, day in Suffolk. ps new avatar taken by Pam Day when she came to visit (another lovely day)

Dorothy, it will probably show up later today. Something about a spam checker sometimes causes a delay.
It shows up on your profile, and you look MAH-volous, my dear!! :wink:

Rosemary, where is Ian? I want to propose to him. I just love men with a sense of humour.

[Hannelore N.]

Regretably, he passed away some years ago. The one thing about Ian was not to let him sit on anything - he could bust anything he sat upon, directors chairs he had to replace annually, I seem to recall he also damaged a cold box by sitting on it :roll: But there was always a lot of good humour and a lot of 'charactors' in our regiment, & ECWS as a whole. 8)

I'm sorry to hear that, Rosemary, but this guy left a lot of good memories behind.

By the way, I have never sat in a director's chair, and never will.
