Re: Infant Car Seats & Zoom

How true. What's more, if there's a goodish bit of turbulence, a rogue car seat banging around the cabin should be lotsa fun.

sounds like you're having fun at the expense of our children!

Hey if you can't take a joke you shouldn't be flying.

Polar Bear

very true, especially if you risk hitting the ground like a dart!

Damn the whole reason I had kids was to make jokes at their expense Mind you I think I'll wait until they grow into horrible teenagers!

Nope...my boss says I'm not allowed until she says so - OH is quite happy with that at the moment.

I agree.. not that we have any? but we were children once and had to endure countless jokes at our expense... why should the human newbs get away with it?

Elaine B.

And then there's all the lying about Santa Claus, The Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny....No wonder they turn into little horrible disillusioned teenagers.

I would have interpreted "In a delicate Condition" to have meant that you were pregnant too. It was a phrase my grandmother (Born in the 1880's) used.
Maybe its more of an age thing, rather than a Canada/UK thing.

Elaine B.

must say I'd rather have "in a delicate condition" than "up the duff"

or knocked up

Don't be so mardy,

Just for to add to the general mayhem here is my offspring making the same mistake.

My 16 year old daughter was in the middle of a biology lesson and the class were drawing and labelling a heart. She looked up and asked the whole class if anyone had a rubber she could borrow....... dead silence followed and her new friend who looked horrified asked her what she wanted a rubber for and Gemma replied "to rub out this line" ..... as you can guess she was extremely embarrassed when she was told what she was asking for, even more so because the class was generally a year older than her.

Killed myself laughing when she told me when I picked her up from school. But then I am always being accused of being a sympathic father.

That explains alot

During a project meeting, I told one of my female work colleagues (who is well known for struggling to get out of bed early) I would come round and knock her up on the way to airport so she could get up early for a meeting with a client......

Stunned silence in the meeting room and the female colleague flushed bright red..... Someone leaned over to me and told me what knocked up meant. I then told her I would come round and knock on the door to make sure she was awake on my way to the airport ... Much laughter at my expense (not my offspring)

daft batty

Am I the only English person who has never used the phrase "knocked up"? I dont even remember anyone ever using it, let alone anyone ever offering to knock me up ( English meaning of course, )
