Errm, can we rewind and try that again?

Thanks for the explanation Phoenix. I was racking my brains to think what a camera memory card was really called! Well, it is still before 10am.

I hope you keep us informed us if you get any interesting comments in the village. ??.

Lol oh you poor thing lol. Made me smile.

Same way I made a fellow smile a few months back as he was walking his beautiful dog. I asked if I could say hello and the young man nodded, and I said 'Ohh, I cannot remember the breed, I always call them the Durex Dogs!'

Of course, I was supposed to say Duluxe dogs (the Old English Sheepdogs!)

I didn't even notice my blunder until I randomly replayed the conversation in my head. :-/ lol

Well this thread has made me LOL. Not a bad start to the day!

I'm sure his attention was soon on other things but if anyone mentions it to you, how about just saying that "oh no, what I said was ... he must have misheard me" !

Must admit I spent a couple of minutes trying to figure out what an STD card might be. I do know the telephone dialling code thing and of course the sexually transmitted disease. But couldn't think why either would require a card....

Reminds me of yesterday evening as hubby and I were discussing vegetarian/vegan diets. Hubby says”it’s not for me and I don’t think you’ll ever be a virgin either”!! ?

Why the need to go further ? Many thanks for taking in my parcel.End of.

Please somebody enlighten me!!!! I still don't know what STD stands for in this thread. Is it a phone card?

Annaram1 - Phoenix explained upthread (7.20)

Your conscience is clear so I say if they are talking about you they are leaving someone else alone.

Reminds me of that irritating tv ad, where the woman hands over a letter to her elderly neighbour - "Oh, that must be my......" I can't remember the product, but she wants one too! Not an STD, I hope!

I love your posts pheonix!!??

Shall we rename you Mrs Malapropism Phoenix?? That is very funny!!
My mum has a friend who gets things wrong quite alot. Whilst in the car with her husband a man in another car flashed his lights to let them out. She said ' look, he's wanking at you' !! No irony, or embarrassment!!

Oh dear Grammaretto (chuckle chuckle) I trust you now have a lock on your toilet door!

Purplepoppies. .

I think I might have written this on Gransnet before, so please excuse a repeat.
A few years ago my neighbour was helping me in the garden and as it was getting dark I said “oh you don’t want to be out here trimming my bush in this bad light Phil” (name changed) I cringe with embarrassment even now!!

What's all the fuss about?

If neighbour is youngish he probably won't think of STD meaning what you referred to. The modern version is SHC sexual health clinics. He may not have noticed the "T" when you were chatting away thinking you only said SD which he will know about. Hope so anyway!

Ha ha ...hope you don't have too many male relatives who are likely to call ......neighbour might start calling you Madame .........love it !!!

Lol Phoenix - I'd be more concerned that he thought you didn't know what it stood for

Yesterday one of the girls had gone into my husband's office and said to him and his works manager that there was a man in reception with a big tool in his hand - she couldn't understand what they were both laughing at!

You made my day phoenix. I am doubled up in hysterics. I can imagine myself in similar situation. Thank for making me laugh

First laugh if the day. Hilarious.

I want to add (hastily, in view of the lack of knowledge of what phoenix said ), that my guffaws of laughter were because i was a nurse and worked in GP practices for many years lol

I have only once in my life complained to a neighbour about noise. Driven to distraction by its repetitive bass notes, I knocked at his door and said..... Is that your organ throbbing because it’s going right through me?”. Never again. ?
