Me too Bathsheba.
Iām amazed that such few members could create such a long threadā¦
I had a colleague who commuted 40 miles each way to and from work in a Smart Car. She said it would return about 80mpg, but was susceptible to being blown around in strong winds on the motorway.
There was another chap at work who drove a Smart Car. He was a big bloke, well over six feet tall and well built with it. He looked a bit like Colin Baker who was the seventh actor to play The Doctor in the Doctor Who series.
This chap had a sticker on the back of his car that said, āDoes my bum look big in this?ā
I think itās one of those ālook at meā threads, they tend to pop up now and again mainly from relatively new posters.
Not really. Get them now and again when only a small number of people are around posting, so end up on a quickfire to and fro threadā¦Get in the zone and go with the flow.
Nobody is forced to read them, after all.

Circle the wagons ā¦
I quite like different/odd/eccentric posts/postersā¦Keeps all of Us on Our toes trying to work out what the hell Theyāre all getting at :-pā¦Keep 'em coming say I.
To be fair my next saga came to a head yesterday in the form of a threatening email from one of the top internet companiesā¦two emails two threats to be exactā¦There has been communications via Valencia, Morocco and Franceā¦so farā¦carrot is for you to chew overā¦over and outā¦:shock:e
How I wish I did not have to attend an important appointment this dayā¦ they call them renz de vous hereā¦appointments that isā¦
Iāll remember that: Making a rendez-vous with the dentist seems less worrying than an appointment. 
Well that is all sortedā¦hopefully because that went a bit mad reallyā¦ as I booked it two days before he goes into Poitiers Hospitalā¦the 24th he told meā¦I wrote that down on his dossier.
He has a yearly endoscopieā¦and the procedure has changedā¦Still book a bedā¦food if orderedā¦but he should be returned to me by early P.M in there estimations,Ambulance car booked, Prescription for disinfection in the shower the night beforeā¦3 days of a special diet and the cherry on the cakeā¦Moviprepā¦ he dreads it actually and I try my best to give him spaceā¦hates seeing me laugh so much,over this necessary yearly procedureā¦
ā¦Hey Chris Evans does not make any fuss, he talks about it often promoting Men tto get themselves checked over if say you start passing some bloodā¦itās a Warning and Men are loosing lives over not going to get checked outā¦
back to the Labā¦
ā¦ and then she gave me the 22nd at 11.00am ā¦ok until she took his admission detailsā¦gave me a sideways look and smiled, the she pointed out the admission date was the 21st Julyā¦with that I dropped by bag on the floor then the pen and holder on a chainā¦fell as well.

.any errors I will sort after my lunch, really starving nowā¦
Dianne, l was wondering.
Are some of your earlier posts quoted from a book you might be writing?
I read a lot but do not write stories. I do make notes on various things along my dayā¦music I hear and want to go back to also read about the person or band that kind of thingā¦a place I remember, then want to re call. hear or see a product that seems useful to meā¦I have a memory like a sieve at times, but sometimes that is a good thing.

Do you use a Commonplace Book? Its just a notebook for all manner of interesting things you want to record. They have been in use since the 17th Century, and some are like works of art in themselves.
I think it would be wise for me to write up first but I canāt read my own writing that well, just for startersā¦Do most things on the spur of the momentā¦and would get bored doing writing up a saga for prepā¦ pick the whole to pieces and scrap it is very likelyā¦
I now use a Lidls empty beer half carton and cheap printing foolscap paper and have to move the box out of my Husbands view, oftenā¦he calls it my messā¦it is actually, as I pile on some books that I am looking at for various reasonsā¦ move it all off the table here with my ā¦whoopsā¦OUR Laptopā¦ although he did a few weeks ago buy a new french small Laptop/Tablet not sure exactly, but it is all applicationsā¦So he rarely get on this one nowā¦

I use one (several) of those - have done since I was about10 or 11 when we were taught about them in school. Great fun looking back at some of the stuff in there! Am not disciplined enough to keep a diary/journal but, as a writer, am never without a notebook and pencil!:-D:-D
How great was your school! I only found out about them in the last couple of years - although I have been keeping them on and off most of my life. I love filling them up with random things
Now that is a great idea, had never thought of a memories book.
Never been a keeper of things, apart from some Photos that go back to when My Sister and I were bornā¦Have a nappy pin and a trinket that was attached to my wedding bouquet. Wedding dress my Mother just threw it out and never said until years laterā¦strange some folksā¦
My old stamp album that I treasured and an autograph book that was filled with all sorts of peopleā¦goneā¦Iāll leave it at thatā¦past is gone future is filled with mostly good things in lifeā¦
