Re: Christmas fairy lights
Gosh, I've not heard the word 'Uncouth' in many years, it was my Mum's favourite word at one time......you don't hear it any more. I have just found out that 'Couth' is a word too, and it obviously means the opposite. I might try and use it in conversation and see if anyone knows it lol

I have very good manners:D

My mother had quite the repertoire - most of which I didn't understand so I said, 'Yer wot Ma?' a lot, and she didn't care for that either lol
I don't know if you've ever watched Last of the Summerwine (where my Nora comes from) but my mother was a lot like the Edie Pegden character (Thora Hird) where she tries to be posh but reverts back to being a gobby Northerner when she's riled. :yesyes:

Uncouth, moi? :ohmy:
Always reminds me of a scene in the film, Swamp Thing. He emerged and the female lead (Teri Garr?) asks "where did you come from?". He replies "the bog". Just makes me snigger :biggrin: Now if he had a paper under his arm too...

I've noticed over the past few days that (for better or worse) people generally don't seem to be making such a big deal over Covid as before. Ditto over on the Digital Spy forums.

Paper, Smash Hits, book, mobile phone - I have to read when I'm on the bog or my colon goes on strike. :huh:

It's almost Christmas. Everybody's pissed (except for me) and all our troubles seem so far away - because, as we know, Christmas throws a blanket of snow over all the shit along with having to be nice to people who've been @rseholes to us all year long. Also, the shops are open again, so people are busy ramping up those credit cards because there is nothing quite as joyful as opening up that statement in January, breaking into a cold sweat, and contemplating selling one of your kidneys, but what the hell - IT'S CHRIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTMAAAAAAAAAAS! :yesyes:
Re: Christmas fairy lights

Get pissed, remain in a semi-conscious state the entire time and it'll soon be over mate. :yesyes:
Re: Christmas fairy lights
Due to medication Nora I don’t drink if I did I would be chasing car tyres:D
We are having Xmas over on Hayman Island so at least I can escape from the sisters they get pissed and loose the plum in their gob.
