Exactly Elegran.

It takes all sorts, I suppose smile

I think the point (if any) of the title is that the answer to the question is, "Her is Him". The point of the post as Bertha is probably so that if challenged Brian can deny all responsibility for the contents and avoid the ban that has followed similar but less crude posts from men in the past.

No point him claiming that he didn't send the post - GN is full of ex-teachers who can recognise an individual's style when someone else copies their homework.

Somewhat confused apart from my inner pedant recoiling from the thread title
Your point is?

If that is you tonguetied, Bertha, then Brian and his missis must use earplugs when you visit in a chatty mood. Have you ever dropped in on the argy-bargy cafe, BTW? That is your spiritual home. Don't let Brian have its address, he is far too inventive, he'd turn them envy and piss them off.

Hello, it's me, Bertha. I've sneaked in on Brian's internet connections because I can't email him or anything. They must have had a bad night with the dog. Well I just want to say thank you for those kind words Elegran but I don't think that I would have suitable material for your groups. I'm not a very good conversationalist and soon get tongue tied. However, there was an incident a couple of weeks ago though that happened on our anniversary. I'll try and tell you about it. Like I said, it was our anniversary and hubby and I were trying to celebrate it. Joe, that's hubby well into his seventies, isn't very agile and we had to call the neighbours in to help lift him on me.
"Anything else Joe?" they asked.
"Yes" he replied, "can you come back in a half hour and lift me off please."
"Right on Joe, we'll be back."
Then the pantomime began. He's well built for his age and was about halfway through, it felt like it was a lot more than halfway when suddenly he yelled loudly.
"OH NO" he shouted, "I THINK I'VE GOT THE POOPS".
He was off like a shot for the toilet. I must point out here that the seat was up. He turned sharply to get the right position and at the same time, pulled the seat down. I heard a big scream and ran into the bathroom to investigate. The stupid old sod had trapped his willie, am I allowed to use that word?, between the seat and the toilet.
"Stand up," I told him.
"I can't," he shouted, "Ive got the SH..."
"I know I know," I souted back, "you've got dia, dioarh, the poops.
He urgently needed to extracate himself. Liquid soap I thought and quickly reached for the squeeze bottle and squirted it in the required area. Well, I thought it was liquid soap. It wasn't, it was bleach. His screams were terrible. Well I meant well. Anyway, I reached for the shower pipe and sprayed itl onto his you know what. Eventually I got him onto his feet and I hastily checked for any damage.
His, his err, willie, after being trapped and bleached now looked like an ice cream lollipop. The EMT came, that's paramedic to you, doused him in cream, put him on a trolley and wheeled him outside to the ambulance. As they were wheeling him, I tried to explain what had happened. Both EMT's tried to contol their laughter, but it was futile and they both doubled up with laughter on the ground. This meant that they had lost control of the trolley. We live on a hill and yes, the trolley was off heading srtaight towards the cross roads. The resulting pile up wasn't too bad, but some dilbert shouted at my husband had he not seen that the lights were at red. That was it, Joe was off his trolley and wading into the man who had shouted at him. By the time he had finished, another ambulance was needed. There was police everywhere, lots of dented cars, EMT's one naked man and one naked woman, that was me. If you remember we were .......... AT IT when all this started.
The headlines in the newpaper next day read, COPULATING COUPLE CAUSE CHAOS AT CALVERTON CROSS ROADS..

I might drop by again one day.

Get her to sign up for GN. We need people with a wide vocabulary like hers, and with her attitude. She'd get lots of discussion and advice about the Other Problem, too.

Sadly no but I am glad your Aunts bunions are feeling better. smile

First of all a big HELLO to all the aged people these pages are intended for. I also wish to apologise for going about like a blindfolded blind man down a coalmine at midnight. I missed all the heart felt feelings about Twitter & FB. but now I'm beginning to understand, I think it is wrong that we should be .................. Excuse me a minute, the phone is ringing. "Hello, might I ask who is calling? OH it's you aunt ... just a minute." It's my Aunt Bertha from Baltimore. "Hello Auntie, R U OK? That's good, and are your bunions still giving you problems? You say they are not so bad since you started going about barefoot, and the other problem aunty, how is that? Oh, no improvement there then, and you find yourself standing around in muddy puddles since you've been going barefoot. Well, Peppa Pig likes to jump up and down in muddy puddles. What was that you said? Oh, give all your love and best wishes to the members of the Grans group and tell the powers that be at Twitter & Facebook to.......... err, Aunty, I can't print that my love. I know what you mean and I guess the members will. ......... You have to go now? OK, talk to you later, BYEEEEEEEE Aunty"
OH, as you can guess, that was my Aunt Bertha from Baltimore. Anyone else got an aunt Bertha in Baltimore?
See y'all later.
Brian.
