h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I was told today in no uncertain terms, by a 2 year old with a very loud voice, in the middle of a very crowded shopping center.....that I have knobbly knees

Now I have never even thought about my knees before this, at least not in terms of what they look like, I have thought of them as a very useful item, an I have thought about how much they hurt in damp weather, an my knees certainly let me know that they do not like climbing great flights of stairs, but as to whether they are knobbly, never, now I find myself looking at my knees, going, I don't think they are knobbly... and of course asking Hubby several times today...... dear, are my knees knobbly, to which he just mumbles someting unintelligeable, and walks away shaking his head, I am sure he is laughing at me

I don't have knobbly knees, I don't, I don't....do I?

lol dont worry auntie hel u aint got knobby knees i dnt tink i mean i have neva taken real notice of them but i wood have tort about it i they were

thanx Jem


This is going to be on my mind for ages

I can't really comment on the exact nature or apparance of your knees, but it's probably more important to be grateful that you have the standard number of them. One on each leg, in fact.

true

it is amazing how such a little thing can just niggle on ones mind

Yes, I know what you mean. I'm far too sensitive about my toes, because of much childhood teasing.

my toenails are finally going white again, everytime my boots at work got wet, just about every shift, the brown leather would rub on my toes, making them go a sickly yellow colour, I guess we all have 'bits' we don't like, just I always kinda liked my knees, despite all there scars an wotnot, I really wish that little so-an-so was pointing to someone else unfortunately, he was right in front of me knee high so to speak

Don't take any notice Helly, it's when you've got knobbly legs that you have to worry

Well it could be worse; you could have badger legs or badgerknees my legs are horrible, I like my feet though; just wish my toenails would grow proper

how else do toenails grow, except proper

oh,oh,oh badgerknees I never thort of that

My toenails never get very long, they just break off so do my finger nails to an extent as well thinking about it

mmm sounds like you need more vitamin B an E, both good for skin an nails, more calcium an vitamin d (sunshine) wouldn't hurt, oh that's right, you live in gray auld england, not much chance for sun then ay?

You can get all of your daily vitamin goodness in the form of wee little strawberry flavoured things.

I have one each day, but only 'cos I like the flavour...

What, vit tablets? I do eat a lot of veg, so I should be alright on that front, and I get thoruhg a good mix of red and white meets, probably not enough fish though

I have a perfectly good diet, so I only have the kid's strength ones Mmmmmmm... Strawberry

Do you eat plenty of fruit?

whats fruit? No i don't eat any fruit, if I get any in, I'll eat some but have to chuck the rest out which seems a waste, and I don't much go on most of the fruit they sell in the supermarket, it doens't taste right, especially the apples, a fruit I relaly* do like, half the time the supermaket ones are horid

Here is perhaps the oddest fruit website in the world: http://www.5aday.com/html/colorway/colorway_home.php

I'm not entirely sure what they're on about, but apparently I need more Blue/Purple in my diet


Maybe you're buying cooking apples and eating them raw...

Naa! they ain't cooking apples

Where are you getting them from? The next door neighbour's tree?

I agree with Ivan, as long as you have the standard amount of knees on each leg and they are in reasonable working order..then good to go!
