[calismum]

[dandysmom]

[Kazz]

YEs - a bear. Blimey there's some quick internet connections (and brains) on here tonight :D


I never quite got that play................to quirky for me. But "exit followed by a bear" is quite funny.

[EmmaG]

Hello Shelley are you there??

[angieh]

I found Pip with a woodmouse tonight. Poor creature, so pretty. It was still alive but not sure if it will survive.

[Kazz]

Hello Shelley are you there??

You have a hunter than Angie.............................it will only get worse.

[EmmaG]

[Shelley123]

Knock , knock, knock

[EmmaG]

Earth calling Shelley ;-)

[Kazz]

Knock , knock, knock
Whose there???????????????????????

[Kazz]

Earth calling Shelley ;-)

Should that not be Mork calling Orson?

[Shelley123]

had a minor disaster, went to get my tea out of the oven, came in and kicked my glass of cider over, it was the last drop out of the bottle

[dandysmom]

awww poor thing Angie - I love mice..especially the woodmice

I have no objection to mice ...... OUTSIDE!!

[angieh]

You have a hunter than Angie.............................it will only get worse.

awww poor thing Angie - I love mice..especially the woodmice

I am afraid that Pip is very much the hunter. I always wonder if he's got something if he's very quiet.

The woodmice are so delicate looking and have such long tails and big ears!

[EmmaG]

Shelley - you answer please (or did I miss it?)

[Shelley123]

:( ;) ................

[EmmaG]

Oi Mindy....answer please ;-) once you have cleared up the cider!! LOL

[Shelley123]

Oh i'm sorry Emma, i don't know. How dozy am i

[angieh]

Should that not be Mork calling Orson?

I caught a replay of Mork and Mindy a while ago ..... I thought it was awful and I used to quite like it!

[Kazz]

I've forgot the question

[Kazz]

I caught a replay of Mork and Mindy a while ago ..... I thought it was awful and I used to quite like it!


You should not rewatch your youth.

[angieh]

had a minor disaster, went to get my tea out of the oven, came in and kicked my glass of cider over, it was the last drop out of the bottle

Poor you - would you like a glass of pinot?

[angieh]

You should not rewatch your youth.

That is SO true. But I don't think it applies to listening to music - that's nearly always just as brilliant as it was years ago.

[EmmaG]

No problem Shelley - just wanted to give everybody a chance to answer - don't forget you can piggyback if you want to .

Correct answer was a Bear

[Shelley123]
