Sorry jansus, it would set a terrible precedent. We have enough trouble keeping threads on topic as it is, and I fear that a 'sanctioned' off topic thread would turn out ot be the tip of the iceberg, and pretty soon everyone would want one!

Well Ladees,

Are they not spoilsports? After what we have been through, a little light humour is the next best medicine. "Laugh, and the whole world laughs with you".

Me and Jack (Nic****n) are one and the same in personality, but not age! Height is right, size is right. Like the proverbial cartoon character who has had something dropped on him from a great height. Caring, soft centred but hard on the outside. Weeps at the old black and white movies, but has a stiff upper lip in a crisis. Old fashioned and gentle towards the ladees. Likes the 'Swish' of silk, enjoys the company and conversation of Ladees, and just like the Ladees of Eastwick, If you call me, you never know, I may just drop by!

Night Night Ladees xxxx

I had Jansus down for the more 'School-Marm' type. Wragge's need disciplining so Jansus.............looks like a trip to Birmingham is on your cards.

Jenny? Strange conflicting thoughts come to mind there, I think I'll sleep on that one and see what I can come up with in the morning after I have taken the piglets to school.

well jenny you are very close

5ft nothing /blonde at the moment and curvy ( well thats what I call it anyway! )
but no long legs i am afraid
Favourite outfit - jeans/ green top and some very high funky Rocket Dog Green shoes

Squarebob is also close because I found out to my embarrasment at the Christmas party that everybody at work - including the managing director is frightened of me

Cant think why

Missed ambitions : wanted to be a barrister - but chose work over Uni as parents were poor.
Also if I won the lottery now - would like to go into Fostering - or something in the legal profession.

I am definitely a hippy at heart and would like to end my days somewhere like Menorca in a remote house - under olive trees reading all the books that I dont get a chance to read now.

I like to think that I am an optimist at heart . Not very good at emotional problems - must come from my parents - who are a bit like the farmers on French and Saunders who have their legs cut off - look on the bright side - pick themselves up and carry on.

A massage breif, Madam Jenny's description I thought was of Squarebob, my eyes, they are not young, the grey cells they no connect, perhaps the description is of the ideal woman in Squarebob's life? Yes, it is as near as near can be, oh those long legs, the long hair, color, Red, Brown or Blonde, eye lashes? Long and Alluring! Unfortunately I awoke and fell off the couch, so the rest of my dream was lost.

Jenny? Earth mother type, quiet, protective, ice mountain on the outside, volcano on the inside. Smouldering eyes. Passionate in all she says and does. Size? Just right.
Jack xxxx

Hello Ladees,
I ave just returned from the ospital of the ead.
I think Aleece has lost her way, she thinks she should be in the garden of the bareness or is it Eden? No matter, a description comes to mind of the Indian Goddess of the many arms, as she seems to be able to do so many things at the same time. She has the feet firmly planted in the ground and the ead screwed on. Aleece is like the Captain of a ship, without her, the ship it runs aground. Looks? Petite and slightly paint-spattered.

Jack xxxx

Where is Mimi?
Has she gone to the place where all the ladees dress in 'Black'?

Alice?

A quandry here

I picture a kind cuddly person - however with all her multitasking exploits there can not be an ounce of fat on her!

I guess curly hair
kind eyes
Never sits down!
Likes to be organised - but never quite makes it
A dog lover like me
A go getter in that she never gives up
Also an optimist with an imagination nearly on par with squarebob( she can nearly keep up with him!)
Her house is homely and welcoming not at all pretencious.
Maybe she was a teacher in an earlier life?
favourite outfit - something practical ( to keep the soot out)

Hi everyone!

Having been "told off" by bob/lucifer/jack, thought I'd better check in

Love the descriptions! Jan, can't believe people are frightened of you ... they obviously don't know you like we do Totally agree with your description of Alice (where are you Alice?)

Jen, "jack" obviously has you down to a T!

Jack, I never dress in black, well, only when it's appropriate or I put on a little weight which, thinking about it, is quite often I suppose

Can't believe Jan thinks you're deluded BTW ... where on earth has she got that from

A little info. about me :-

5'8"
Long strawberry blond hair
Blue eyes
Perfect size 10
Luminous skin
Long legs
Compassionate, patient, loyal, cheerful disposition (always smiling), good sense of humour, loves helping others.

Now who's "deluded" I'll leave it to you lot to sort out the "truths" from the "unthruths"!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Mimi x

Brings the following to mind;

My mother once told me to NEVER play with the fairies in the wood!

Methinks Alice thinks her string is being pulled, have told her more than once to step over the fence, but so far, no response!

Just me today, the treatment seems to be working (for now) xxxx

If you go down to Bare Woods today
You'll never believe your eyes

If you go down to Bare Woods today
you're sure of a big surprise

Cos every BARE
that ever there was
is gathered there
for certain
because
today's the day
the little Bares have their PiccccccccNic

thought I'd start with a little song.


So this is where you are all hiding !!!


someone told me they'd spotted a very beautiful Fairy Ring
deep down in
Bare Woods
so I've come to see.....

and found
the most exquisite little fairies
flying around -
resplendent -
gossamer wings
glinting and fluttering
in the dapplied sunshine

heavenly view

and then I noticed

All was not Well ???!!!

mimi, jan, jen, wooleykat and dewhit dewoo,
were dancing and
flying around
a naughty little pixie
held fast in the middle of the ring

the pixie was yellow and square
and naughty
and from another world
the world where Banks are Kings

he wore tiny red pants
far too small (shrunk in the 'boil' wash)
old string-vest - completely nackered
and his yellow hairy legs
were adorned with
high heeled red wellies

the little fairies cast a spell
and pixie-bob
was held fast in the ring
forevermore.

until someone could break it for him.


alice in wonder-BARE-land
