Six

Three cheers for OofO! It was indeed. Give yourself a special prize!!

I've blown the cobwebs from this thread. Who said this then, and, no, it wasn't Dubya: ' It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up. '

...the real horror set in as Tony noticed the hairs growing in the palms of his hands...

You could have a go at this simple music test. I got 29/30 on my first go. ( My tone-deaf mother had a go and got 27 though, so I don't know what that's supposed to mean )

Thank you for the welcome . The abcess burst ( YEEEUCH!!!) after a day or so, then I had to get over the infection before I could go have all of my wisdom teeth removed. I HATE going to the dentist as I am not a fan of pain, so I paid silly amounts of money to the dentist so that he'd drug me up considerably before commencing with his nasty work! I was sedated and then the dentist removed two wisdom teeth that had broken through the gum, and one that had not broken through yet. I felt nothing at the time, but was in mucho pain for a long time afterwards!!! It's all over now - and I've had two children in the five years since then- but it still makes me shudder just thinking about it.

I had a huge, nasty abcess as a result of wisdom teeth coming through. Big-time ouch. I did get to take extremely powerful painkillers though, which helped me to float through a week or so of teaching year 3 children. That was one good week.

I apparently look like: Lucille Ball 72% Gina Lollobrigida (?) 64% Halle Berry 64% Margaret Cho 63% Madonna 61% Pat Benetar 61% Sinead O'Connor 60% Megumi Hayashibara (?) 60% Paris Hilton 60% Chandrika Kumaratunga (!) 60% Hmmm.

Wow, STG and Honez, you are so much better at this than me!

That's a no then. Ok, how about titles for the NHS Film Club to watch... Citizen Pain From Here To Maternity Bedpans and Broomsticks oh, and the Matrix films were pretty huge here, Canadian Paul.

Anyone fancy a game of #Film Club? It's a good way to pass the time whilst waiting for death! ( I have conveniently stolen the idea from the BBC Radio4 show 'I'm Sorry I haven't A Clue'. For those who don't know, you substitute the # for an occupation, eg, bakers (?), and then continue to amaze everyone by creating relevant film titles, eg, The Hand That Bakes the Bagel [instead of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle] or Fry Hard starring Sprouts Willis ) I hope that makes some sense. So... any ideas for film clubs and titles?????

Thank you Godot, I did read that thread, and very entertaining it was too. I learned all about how some members choose to keep warm, and also about alien probes and strange places to keep your computer. Hugely educational.

Many, many...many years ago when I was but a wee lass, my mother used to call myself and my many sisters ' The Seven Dwarfs '. When one or another of us was in a moaning mood, she would call us ' Six and Grumpy ' ( Totalling 7, obviously.) So, I simply grabbed ahold of the ' Six ' and that became my nick-name. Interesting as a paint drying isn't it. I don't actually wish to change my name as I would probably forget what I chose. Also, I can pretend that I chose it for the connections with the evil 666! (Much cooler that the dwarfs thing.)

Doesn't the Queen already live in the Plaice... oh, sorry.. that's palace.

Thanks for letting me know. I'm quite new to all this, and felt rather stupid then. I still feel quite stupid now, though not as much!?!?.

I agree totally and completely. Cheer up though BHB, at least you're not this guy.

And... why did those quotes not work properly???

I now know we all have one... but what is it there for? What does it mean? What does it all mean? Am I even allowed to ask? [Fixed quotes - ff]

Counseling Centre Take a look at the 'Additional Preventative Techniques.' You just never know when you might need this stuff.

In order to remain equally derogatory, I tend to rotate the nationalities each time I tell jokes of this type. ( (I'm from the good ole' UK too.) Oh pooh. Forgot to log in.

An Englishman, and Irishman and a Scottishman are working on the building site of a new highrise. Every lunch- time the Irishman looks into his lunchbox and sighs " Tuna sandwiches, again." And every lunch-time, the Scottishman looks into his lunchbox and sighs " Ham sandwiches, again." And every lunch-time, the Englishman looks into his lunchbox and sighs " Cheese sandwiches, again." After a few weeks of this, all three men have had enough and agree that if their sandwiches are the same tomorrow, they will all jump from the top of the 20-storey construction. Needless to say, the sandwiches were all the same, so, one by one, the three men jumped to their splattering deaths. At the wake after the funeral, the three wives were talking about the reasons for their husbands' deaths. " I didn't realise my husband hated tuna so much!" Exclaimed the Irish wife. " I didn't realise my husband hated ham so much!" exclaimed the Scottish wife. The English wife looked perplexed, " I really don't understand, because my husband made his own sandwiches every day."

This has really tickled me! Good stuff Captain Oates! Ok, two vampire bats are about to go hunting for blood. The first flies off and reappears a minute later with glistening blood all around his mouth. " Wow, where'd you find that then?" Said the second bat. Using his claw to point out the direction, the bat says, " Do you see that tree over there next to the house with the lights on?" " Yes " Says the second bat " Well I didn't." Says the first.

I think I'd like to be eaten by a dinosaur. Yep. That's how I'm going to die.

Be seeing you, Number Six! Hello Notapotato. I have nothing to rage about at the moment, well, unless you count door-to-door salesmen and ' Betterware ' catalogues and British Gas and being woken up too early and things that are generally slow and... well, this could go on forever; but as I said, I've nothing to rage about at the moment, so I'll go now.

Thank you, Lady Die! I am thrilled to be here. While I'm writing, I might just add that I have just finished reading The Gruffalo and was very pleased with the pace and the clever ending.
