Do You Aspire to be an Eminent Person?

Who would clean my statue when the pigeons have decorated it?
No, I wouldn't like to be an eminent person, just a kind one.

I'd like my statue to stand in a swing park because I seem to have spent a vast amount of time pushing various children on swings in various swing parks over the years. So I'd like to be depicted as a sort of female body builder with muscled arms, and the inscription to read " She pushed well".

Sitting with a small child next to me, reading a book together.
'Story Book Granny'

Or falling off the zipwire
'She Had a Go'

I would give them a sweet smile and decline the offer firmly. I have no desire to see myself on a plinth, regardless of pose.

My family always accuse me of being hyperactive, saying I should stop rushing around, so I expect they woulld like a statue of me recumbent, with the inscription ‘ Still at last!!’

"Oh, there she is" said the pigeon

I'll sit on her head.

Oh no! Not for me.
I don't even like my photo taken.

Did you forget the aitch, jalima?

'Plop'
There goes another pigeon

No statue for me - think of the enormous amount of materials needed to create 'short fat woman unknown'.

I couldn't find another thread in which to cut/paste this. The 35 reasons are fantastic; you don't have to look at the rest of it
Of course if you are a Geordie you'll be familiar with all this.

"Ageing gracefully is like the nice way of saying you're slowly looking worse".

Nanna58Are you my alter ego or unknown twin? That is exactly what my family say and how they would react!

I’m a Geordie Ruf so those sights are very familiar to me . I remember you saying a while back you worked/served time with some Geordies and couldn’t understand the lingo .

I suppose if I did have to have a statue I would be a faceless woman looking out to sea with a basket of seaglass in her hand .

The view from my garden last weekend .

Nah don’t think I d want one just hope I stay in my families heart

Teetime ???

Meant to add that I am such an "eminent person" that I am honoured with a fly past at least once a year.

You and me both gilly - they gave me a fly past the week before.

One man's 'freedom fighter' is another man's 'terrorist' and so it goes for 'Eminent' people. Not sure I would make the cut - now, if there was a prize for being attorney in the side of some eminent people I might be in with a chance!

worked/served time
Gillybarb; Fair go! Are you implying that me and your Geordie mates were being detained "at Her Majesty's pleasure? "
I was simply saying that they were incoherent (to me anyway) and there was no way you could tell when or what they were swearing. Almost as bad as the Welsh when they turned on their own lingo!

"Women who aspire to be the equal of men, lack ambition"

Welsh is an official language of the U.K.

Though I do not aspire to having a statue perhaps if I did I could be in the bandstand (covered so no pigeons) playing a flute (or any instrument really..but I would love to be able to play the flute) with an inscription "Lucky it's only a statue"

Grannyactivists; We now get very frequent "flypasts" by maggies. It's their fun season whilst protecting their nesting areas, but more like Stuka dive-bombers hitting their targets, creating more damage than simple poop!

"Women who aspire to be equal to men, lack ambition"

Anniebach; Thanks for that! Where else in the UK is it used? And just out of curiosity, what does "Cwtch" mean?
Unless it's a leg-pull, it should be safe for my ears!
