Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[blue1948]

In my youth, I once went on a date with a girl from Yorkshire. I'd had a really bad day and mentioned to her I had a cob on earlier. For anyone from Liverpool or the surrounding area, cob on meant annoyed or in a mood, but I wasn't aware that in parts of Yorkshire it meant erection.

I still remember the startled look on her face when she thought the anticipation of our date had made me highly aroused.

She knew which side her was buttered on .

Sorry @fandjango

Lol sorry I’ve been quiet this week
Not much in the way of finished work done ve been pretty involved in setting up some new machines in my guitar building workshop … but I’m bashing out a few mire bluebell woods …. I gave a cunning plan !!

Horrible stressful work day just over and I will be glad to see it gone. Time for a walk now, baked potato with chilli filling and then an early night.

Hope you all had a better day than I had.

Still, I had one good laugh today as a friend told me how her 2 year old insists on wearing a mask when out. The Mum has now resorted to greeting complete strangers with the expression ‘It’s not my fault, she won’t take it off’.

?

Hope you have a better day tomorrow. Baked potato and chilli sounds fab.

I will make sure tomorrow is better ?

Positive vibes and positive thinking and the promise of some alcohol tomorrow night ?

Well I hope you don't get a cob on with Anj on her birthday.

Trying to do a bit of a thread catch up here. I could have just read your post Sass

hahaha, I was trying to be as productive as possible lol

I read a while ago that more children are born now with Spanish speaking parents in the US than English speaking .

It is true, this a segment of the population that is growing very fast thus the importance to have a good system in place in schools and colleges to support them.

Now you are going have to explain to me what is a walee, a posh, and a plazzy lol

 

[Sassy Colombian]

Good morning all on this lovely day ,-22° here so just for @Sassy Colombian that is "Brass monkey weather "
Finally got the snow blower part yesterday but it is too cold to work outside on metal parts ,I will try this afternoon or tomorrow .I hope all have a fine and healthy day today .
Reading through the posts from yesterday it struck me how much of a meeting place this is ,nattering about whatever and not being made uneasy over your views .
I am trying to compare it to a place or time in the past but I am finding it hard .From being helped to helping ,from laughing at to laughing with and from explaining to having something explained ,I love to come on here .
Long may it continue .
I don't know if I have posted this before but the wife and I get up quite early and have a cuppa then we go back to bed to plan our day and the menu for the weekend -yes we do it everyday from Tuesday onwards and it does change -then we get up pool evercise and shower and the real day begins .
I have been retired 10 years almost and it took me the first five to stop feeling guilty about receiving money for doing nothing ,now I just enjoy showing this little plastic card and getting whatever I want .
Someone once said the retirement is so good they should make it compulsory for twenty year olds as they are young enough to get the best from it .
We started to watch the latest Bond movie but I thought it was riculous so we watched Gordon Ramsey ,I never liked him as although I swear Ithink there is a time and place and that TV isn't the place for effing and blinding ,we then bt chance found he had done a Christmas program in Finland ,we found it very good and we have since found some tours he has done with Gino and Fred -no not that one - and they are quite entertaining albeit a little childish ,I hope you all will find that as pensioner childish is actually very good ,they do say it is your second chilhood .
Have a great day .

Dear @blue1948 I hope you are staying bundle up along with Mrs. B because those are frigid temperatures. Does your bones hurt when you step outside? or are they already used to it?

 

[Sassy Colombian]

Ha ha I'm in the posh bit whilst all Mrs J's relatives are sound ( another Scouse word for your vocabulary @Sassy Colombian )

I have yet to catch up to the thread so I'm not sure what a posh is and may need a further explanation, this scouse way of talking is getting confusing, specially after watching the video @Toast posted if that's how you all talk then I fear I'm going to have a hard time understanding scousers and poshs

 

[Sassy Colombian]

I agree, retirement is best when you an old codger ( a word for you there @Sassy Colombian ) like me. Hope you continue to feel better.

It seems I'm finally improving. I hope so is your sight. x

Thanks for sharing another word, my vocabulary is definitely expanding with all these terms but I'm still fearing I'm not going to understand them when I hear them spoken to me lol

That's a bit harsh
