I shall ignore that remark and not give it any dignity by responding to it in any way, especially in a reply of any kind, even one beginning "I shall ignore that remark"

(Don't take any notice, it only encourages them)

In fact you haven't upset me in the least


Grime

And I'm glad of it. I can be such a heartless cad at times.

JTG

Heartless Cads? Sounds more promising

(Sharpens pen)


but I only know of one (Puts pen away)

I may be willing to be interviewed. But I should warn you... I'm not cheap.

... except at Christmas.

JTG

Christmas? Don't talk to me about Christmas.......Life's awful enough already

Brain the size of a planet and he talks to me about Christmas

Just around the corner ... like it or not. We'll be measuring our waking hours in shopping days before we know it.

It's a cruel joke, making us face the onset of serious Winter broke and buried in socks.

(smuggles out message)

See! mentioning Chrxxxxxs has sent my computer into a loop

Then let us never speak of it again.

Bloated an broke is no way to face the prospect of three months of shovelling snow - a case of eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we dig... and the next day... and the next day... and the next...

JTG

Oops... I spoke of it again.

From the article on Preventing Sock Loss (A566462) there is an interesting thread ("its way, way more complicated ...") where Ste said he'd heard of a theory that there is a wormhole in the back of washing machines that connects up with belly buttons and turns missing socks into belly button fluff. (I don't think its up to my Sock Monster theory, mind)

Possibly a basis for research?

Sue

Definitely! I hope the conclusion reached in the Entry isn't that all of those lost socks will eventually burst back into our universe through our belly buttons... or that funds should be diverted from such things as synthetic flavour research to investigate manufacturing socks from BBF.

JTG

Dum de dum de dum de dum....socks and drugs and rock'n roll,

all my brain and body need, except a drink or two


Grime

Sing it, Grime baby...

... socks and lint and rock and roll... are ve-ry good in-deed.

JTG

I have read the Sock Monster Entry and saw That it Was Good. Friends, that soldier was Me.

I have some odd socks too, if anyone's interested

But why has Pip got two names? Worthy of research?


Grime

Just 'cos she was too impatient to find out how to re-instate her first page - she hastily added a new one to ask her old buds how to get back in!

Never been one to go down the conventional route, feet first - that's me!


Pip

P.S. Perhaps we should open up a Sock Swap Shop in the Guide? I might ask for building permission in Frinks Drinks.

Come to think of it, could do with a swift one .....

Pip

Oh dear - looks like Frink has dried out and taken the pledge - where does a girl get a drink round here?

Pip

Here, have one or two on me




Grime

Where's Johm The Grumn? He's gone suspicioudly quietry,perhos he'd hiding. in case they find out he''s Bin Laden, or is he too busy shoveling ?snow>

Think he's probably Bin Laden, me,self.
