What's sex? :blink::blink:

Crikey, he's even got me hat on .............. that's scary.

Just heard from my cousin in Oxford who says she is snowed up and can't get to work. Down here it is just piddling with rain as usual. :(

Can we all bunch together and send Val some electronic flowers or something?

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

I don't know, someone once sent me a greeting card with flowers on it - sort of electronic flowers - bloody bloke was a stalker and it took me telling him I was related to the Mafia to get rid of him, but the thought was nice.

Cheap too, and no hay fever:D

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

I've received virtual cards in the past from people I know, mainly flowers, sometimes funny ones, but don't open them any more. Someone warned me that one of the providers, quite a famous paper birthday card manufacturer, was being used to introduce a virus into recipients' inboxes. The provider with the name of a type of camel might be OK to send Val some virtual flowers via her e-mail.:)
sorry to be so obscure, but I don't dare mention the actual names of the providers....:blink:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Glad to see you are all well and none of you have lost your sense of humour:thumbsup:
I'm alive and well, just got back from a great trip to Ireland.
Makes you realise how lucky we are to be in France though, the cost of living is so expensive there.
I just think it would be kinder to the new mod, whoever he or she might be, to keep away for a while so they can find their feet. I also have to respect and trust people I work with, and unfortunately have lost that for BE at the moment, so another reason to stay away.
Thank you all for your emails, pm's, just going to start
catching up now:wub:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Welcome back Val :wub:
Lovely to see you.I'm sad that you are no longer a Mod,but understand your reasons.
Anyway,you can now help me and Andi run riot :lol:

:wub::wub:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Hey, glad to hear you had a great time in Ireland.
We all respect your reasons, but don't stay away for too long. ;)

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Do you know, I think once I stopped teaching and was able to ditch the "respectable and terminally polite" image, I started having more bloody fun than I've ever had in me life!

And think of the restrictions of being a mod - can't say what you really think, having to keep the peace all the time, putting up with idiots, being polite to morons - must feel like you've been released from the Be Nice Penitentary.

World's much more fun if you can say what you think and tell someone they are a plonker if they are one.

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Hear hear! Though, I think you're a plonker! ;):wub:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

You got that right - only a complete plonker would still be living in this Dead as a Dingo's Dinner country for sure. Just hoping for better luck in the search in Brittany on 25th - and actually the pound is picking up a bit, 1.15 today (since Stan's demise I have to look it up meself now!) and found a great house in Park Nevez just reduced quite drastically by some Brits wanting to return to Nottingham so things are definitely looking up. It's 4 bedrooms so after this Rabbit Hutch of a flat, Pete and I will lose each other!!:rofl:

Let's hope it aint riddled with dry rot ..........

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Exactly...I was asked the other day if I would consider being a mod again....what?....I said...no chance,can't say twat for a start! :sneaky:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Problem is that BE's like an army, there's always gonna be more cannon fodder because there are so many newcomers, so there'll always be someone who'll have a go at being a mod. I know how hard it is, having been one on two other boards too, and running my own forum. It's crap. I much prefer being given some latitude!

I also think that mods shouldn't be named. There shouldn't be a title under your name, so you could say what you felt (within reason) and where appropriate without being called into question just because you're a moderator. It worked well on another board I mod'ed (is there such a word?).

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Yup...it's a difficult job,you just can't be yourself,and to me...there is nothing worse in this life :)

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Hello Nurse....Anychance of having you personally administer my meds:lol:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Well, it goes without saying that it certainly wouldn't suit me either. Been there, got the T shirt (complete with death threats etc) and happy to be an outspoken pleb member of the proletariat - and thank "god" we can say twat, what would life be like if we couldn't?:rofl::rofl:

I enjoy being irreverent far too much to put handcuffs on meself and have behaved well for over 40 years - now, it is a case in point - Old Girls just wanna have FUN!:rofl::rofl:

Sorry Stu m8 - Old Boys too!:wub:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

I'll do em, especially if you decide to be all macho and forego the anaesthetic:sneaky:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

He's just after a lift with the enema......:rofl:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Put him in the Empire state building....ya get both!!!!

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

:rofl:

You're on fire tonight Cleggs. What ya been eating? :blink:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Baked beans :sneaky:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Explains the storm force winds across Europe then....:blink:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

That's an Ewood kind of remark....:(:sneaky:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

It was PM'd to me by him with the express request that I post it. He'll be along later to apologise.

Bloody right too....

:blink:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Oh gawd, don't mention the dreaded baked beans. Other half, having gone through every single worry about moving to France which, with unusual subtlety, I have managed to dispell, now comes right on back to the "where will I get my baked beans" worry.

I need a recipe for baked beans, a trailer to transport 50 cases in or he needs a lobotomy ........

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

And he used to worry about not integrating cos he couldn't speak French, now what's the latest? Oh if everyone in Brittany is English, he's worried he won't get the opportunity to speak French and learn it!

Moi, I think I'm in a no-win situation 'ere ........

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Je ne regrette rien :frown::thumbup:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

:rofl:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Twat!

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

I love it when you talk durty :wub::wub::wub::wub:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

I know you do...:sneaky:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

"*****ed up" I believe is what they said at the time...

She's a nurse KA, not a engineer.

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

This moderating business sounds a bit complicated - why can't systems be simple?

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Indeed, They have a Whole division in Rangueil hospital devoted to keeping me going. Which im greatful for. Although they are suprised to see me every time I turn up. A bit of a Oh god not you again:lol:

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

At least they remember your name.

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Oh Godot?

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

I always thought he was a fizzy drink.

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Maybe like Tizer....no?

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

the only thing I know about Godot was someone was waiting for him, but I aint got a clue who, where or why.

Re: are we missing val :-)
 

Me neither to be fair (I know it's a play by Samuel beckett.) Just one of my usual smart arse remarks :lol:
