WoooHooo! A girls' day out at Twickers!

Nah, H says it's No2 brother's turn to have the tickets. Although I think he is secretly hoping No2 bro will be busy and that No1 bro will be going anyway. smiley - winkeye

And I wouldn't know who to cheer on, England or wWales, but I suppose it would depend on who was winning smiley - laugh

smiley - cheers

Many moons ago, an old boyfriend took me to see the London Welsh play the All-Blacks at Twickers and even at that tender age, I was accused of smiley - drooling over the players by my date. smiley - blush At least my vice of smiley - drooling is one of the few things that cannot be attributed to my being a hormonally hampered middle-aged old smiley - bat!

*Pours out a large vodka with a generous shot of ginger wine, and passes it to Hypatia*

That should clear your sinuses or any other blocked tubes Hypatia old bean! smiley - scientist

Linus...42, i guess that makes me the answer...

and i always thought your smiley - drooling was due to a dentist visit gone wrong Gwennie

Good one Caer! smiley - ok Well done you! smiley - applause

Perhaps if you wore a long, baggy t-shirt/jumper, it would hide said skirt so you could still wear it. smiley - tongueout Failing that, you can always return the skirt to either exchange it or obtain a refund.

When *is* t'awld geezer's birthday then Mari? smiley - bigeyes Certain people would like to send him a card you know... smiley - winkeye

By the way Linus. There is nowt wrong with my teeth and they have always been like this. smiley - vampire

It's a summer skirt, Gwennie, for me 'ols, so I shall be wearing it with a shirt, I just don't think the style does much for me. I shall get H to pass an opinion, he will be brutally honest if asked smiley - erm

John was once brutally honest to me about a pair of white with black stripe shorts I bought one summer. The silly boy told me that he hated them (most likely because they were baggy and covered my backside), so I practically lived in them for that summer and during our honeymoon in Malta! smiley - evilgrin

That may be exactly what he intended - to prevent Maltese men smiley - drool his new bride!
I learned very early in my marriage that if Lady J asks me whether she should wear outfit A or outfit B and I recommend B, then she will wear A. smiley - groan Now I recommend the outfit I don't think she should wear and so she wears the one I think she should wear smiley - biggrin

As I said, never lie to your wife! smiley - winkeye


Just remember ladies, if you ask one of the girls what you should wear, they'll tell you to wear the outfit that makes you look less attractive than THEM! smiley - yikes

I always ask H if I want an honest opinion, if I don't I ask my hairdresser! She just knows the right thing to say ;,) every time I see her she tells me I've lost weight even if I've blatantly put it on! She cheers me up no end.

Is it time to have the smiley - cake yet? smiley - bigeyes
