Ah...okay then! Yeah, that totally works for me. Though I am indeed gay...because I'm colorful and cheerful.

Talking

I've just spoken to the lovely SG on the phonio. We discussed all manner of "lovely" things. It was really great to speak to her. Now you're all jealous! Haha. and rightly so!

And also for that strange little thing they used to put on the back of shirts, below the collar at about the shoulder line. WTF were those *for*, anyway?

Ah...the "fagtag"...yeah, totally inappropriate now. But I was in high school then and didn't really think much about it.

We called them "fairy hooks." I don't know why either.

I do know that my best friend's older sister had chain of them pinned to her bulletin board that she'd pulled off guys' shirts. I don't know why she did that.

I have had the pleasure of dining with Blue and Mr. & Mrs. Sycamore. I also visited with richlevy. I have spoken with Merc, Shaw, and SG. Oh, and I bought a car from Jim.

Ouch, Rich! Forks was always on my Need To Do list
In moments of hope it was Plan To Save For, in moments of less hope is was at least on When My Ship Comes In... Still, I can keep it on the EuroMillions Draw List. I can afford to buy everyone tickets then. Just a shame it's a less reasonable goal.

Anyway, I came here to celebrate talking to the Limes, only to find she beat me to it. I had the TV on VERY loud when she called, and didn't hear who she was asking for. When I turned it down I was relieved she was asking for me. Limey sounds VERY official. And very, very English. She asked whether I thought she would sound Scottish and I think I said, "Yes... no..., yes... I mean..." I don't think I was at my best in this conversation (the clocks went back this morning, I've been confused all day!)

Needless to say, even though Limey has a cut glass accent, she is personable, sympathetic and really quite jolly. And has some dirty (literally) stories which were only hinted at in our chat.

Limey - thanks. All I can add is that Grandad was tucking into the sarnie by the time I'd finished giving the toilet the once-over. I think he might even have looked shame-faced... I couldn't tell, his face was full of eggy goodness (only adding this because this is the man who said he couldn't possibly manage a sandwich when I mentioned it at lunchtime)

And yes - I have washed, washed, washed my hands. Promise x

What are the dirty stories?

What is a sarnie?

Why are you giving the toilet a once-over at granddads?

Why does Limey sound like a Kensington Jeweller when she lives on an island in Scotland???

Inquiring minds want to know.

SG got the right answer on this one - she said rather archly "I do read!". I have posted here that I am English though I live in Scotland. Conceived in Cornwall, born and brought up in London, if you must know!
