So hi to one and all! smile

Talk sense or nonsense, I dont mind!
Or dont say anything at all.

I was not going to say what a relative counts, but I think I will.
She counts.....wait for it....... the number of parking spaces left in the town according to a board that is displayed as you enter the town centre!!
Every flippin time she enters!

Is this the right time for the nuns-on-bicycles-riding-over-cobbles joke?

soontobe Thu 13-Nov-14 20:36:50

Ana, I pronouce you funny too! smile

Elegran Thu 13-Nov-14 20:37:21

That was in reply to "if anyone else wants to come on the thread on a tangent" but the posts are moving too fast.

Ana Thu 13-Nov-14 20:38:39

Ooh, Elegran! How norty...grin

Ok - we were due to go away this coming weekend. A joint treat for our birthdays. A very posh hotel to make the winter go faster, and also to force me to put my feet up after a bad fall four weeks ago that has left me with a badly swollen knee still and a dodgy ankle that isn't quite healed.

Ofsted are coming next week so DBH cancelled. sad I was so looking forward to it. I had even started packing. We couldn't normally afford to do it but DBH does it as being part of a bulk booking with some friends of his, so we can't afford to re-book later.

How on earth does she do that soontobe? There are 5 car parks in our town. By he time I had counted the spaces some would have filled/cleared...... confused and here's me thinking counting twinkles was a bit looney!

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 13-Nov-14 20:39:22

I don't know that joke. Tell it to me. In detail.

soontobe Thu 13-Nov-14 20:39:27

All jokes very welcome.

gillybob Thu 13-Nov-14 20:40:13

Well that's me over and out for now.... Dye coming off. Speak soon x

soontobe Thu 13-Nov-14 20:40:47

Just got the joke Elegran.
I am notoriously s l o w at getting them.

Galen Thu 13-Nov-14 20:41:29

You've all gone mad
NURSE! THEYVE GOT LOOSE AGAIN

soontobe Thu 13-Nov-14 20:41:35

Bye gillybob, I will imagine you with red hair till the next time.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 13-Nov-14 20:42:16

Oh! A tandem. That's boring.

Elegran Thu 13-Nov-14 20:44:00

For jingl (but surely you know this one? It was old when I was young and innocent?)

Two nuns cycling across town, over unfamiliar cobbled streets.
One nun to the other, "I've never come this way before."
Second nun, "Neither have I. It must be the cobbles".

soontobe Thu 13-Nov-14 20:45:07

oh no janerowena sad
so sorry.
I am all for people having enough [I was going to say breaks, but perhaps the wrong word] time off.
Aw. Hope you can at least have some other happy time this weekend.

Missing out on treats is horrid.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 13-Nov-14 20:45:31

shock!!! I ^knew* it was gonna be rude!

Very good!!

soontobe Thu 13-Nov-14 20:46:20

Nurse can round me up tomorrow Galen!

soontobe Thu 13-Nov-14 20:47:19

It will take me overnight to get your jokes I think Elegran

henetha Thu 13-Nov-14 20:48:10

What I would like to know is, what is it you are soon-to-be?
Married? divorced? pregnant? rich? .... just curious.

It's spelling with me, gillybob. Endless spelling of words in my head,
even in my dreams. Doing it now as I type this.

soontobe Thu 13-Nov-14 20:49:09

There is generally a queue as she goes under the counter board I think, so she has time to compute.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 13-Nov-14 20:51:43

Are you on the wrong thread?

Ana Thu 13-Nov-14 20:51:55

I assumed it was ' soon to be a gran ', but I'm not so sure now! confused

janerowena Thu 13-Nov-14 20:52:17

Thank goodness, I thought my misery might have killed off the thread.

Was the relative who goes off at a tangent a cosine?

Ana Thu 13-Nov-14 20:54:10

What relative? confused
