poppy Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Oh you mean on TV I thought for a moment he came in your house every day and parked himself on your sofa (bit presumptuous .. I don't know about you but I'm always under tremendous Christmas pressure .. all of my own making .. but an extra old timer sitting in the corner would probably push me over the edge ) Oh, I don't know. You could probably put him to good use. You know ......peeling the spuds, cracking the nuts, making paper chains etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julie Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I have asked him now .. it's in the lap of the Gods Oh you mean on TV I thought for a moment he came in your house every day and parked himself on your sofa (bit presumptuous .. I don't know about you but I'm always under tremendous Christmas pressure .. all of my own making .. but an extra old timer sitting in the corner would probably push me over the edge ) Oh to think I could have been called Harrods ... cept I don't think my mum had ever been in it .. Woolworth's more likely Yes. I get big-time stressed at the holidays . Not as much anymore as I used to when the "Family" all still lived in our state . We have a small house and a lot of Big Personalities ,so holiday get-togethers used to be like watching a WWF wrestling match ,without the colorful tights and spandex jumpsuits . I was the referee . Since they have all moved , I have thankfully gotten to throw away my referee shirt and whistle, so it's much more TRANQUIL now. ( Before, I needed TRANQUILIZERS ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( Before, I needed TRANQUILIZERS ) Goodness knows how I would've coped .. somehow nature knew I wouldn't I guess but still .. despite the fact that there are just two of us and it really wouldn't matter if we ate beans on toast at midnight and stayed in our jammies all day .. I still manage to turn it into an incredibly stressful day A nice big glug of Bucks Fizz first thing in the morning really does work wonders though .. as long as you leave it at that .. at some point it tips from merry to murderous if you're not careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, yes .. I think I'd be fine .. what do they eat though? Well, it depends whether or not they have an alien gestating inside them before they can eat much But I'm guessing mostly cornbread I need to know this before I decide whether I want to be one .. and do they wear spots? .. on their boiler suits?

Yak is somewhat appropriate . My username backwards is anehta and my name backwards aiag. I think yours are cooler (though Anetha could be a person in a fantasy or science-fiction world).

Though the Dutch word "dik" means thick/fat, it can also be a name (like Dick in English I think). x Ived is mine backwards, sounds like it could be a male fantasy figure, maybe a villain?x It does !

Definitely sounds like a villainous type .. with a cape and a twirly moustache pontalba = ablatnop hmmmm, sounds a bit Egyptian, so not too science fiction-y. OTOH, who knows what/who built the pyramids............ .. but AblatnOp sounds quite sciffy ..
