APart from the two surprises we have another 4 weeks before we start

[Shelley123]

Hello there Shelley ... do you have an extra helper tonight or is Kwame fast asleep in his crate?

He's asleep on the settee, he's not crate trained yet.:shock:
Everytime we put him in he screams blue murder, we are working on it ;)

[dandysmom]

Look forward to your welcome graphic, Pamela .... I really like them.

[Shelley123]

no snow here, had hail this morning. It's very cold and windy

[dandysmom]

Hello Eileen ...... I have something to send you via email, which I think you'll appreciate about "plurals"!

??? Consumed with curiosity ........

[pamela81]

should we wait till half past or will we start?

[angieh]

APart from the two surprises we have another 4 weeks before we start

That's good .... there are loads of lambs in the fields down here. Fingers crossed it doesn't snow down here.

He's asleep on the settee, he's not crate trained yet.:shock:
Everytime we put him in he screams blue murder, we are working on it ;)

Hmmmmm - that's something we'll have to look at when we get our pup. Our first "name on list" has not been successful, sadly. Still more opportunities to come.

[angieh]

??? Consumed with curiosity ........

I've sent it just now!!!

[dandysmom]

Let's start! .......

[Squirrel]

oh! Hello all. Not too sure how with it I am for answering questions, but I'm here now!

[Shelley123]

i'm sure you will find the right Pup when the time is right, Angie

[angieh]

I think you ought to get an award for bravery, Squirrel!!!

[pamela81]

ok, cool :)

Question 1, Easy 1 to start with,

Name the twins in the Harry Potter movies

[angieh]

i'm sure you will find the right Pup when the time is right, Angie

OH is getting a bit impatient ..... we've been looking at rescues too. I have put my name on the breed rescue list, but they have a waiting list too. I think that's a really good recommendation for the breed, very rarely come into rescue.

[Squirrel]

I think you ought to get an award for bravery, Squirrel!!!

Oh???

As for HP twins... Are we talking about Fred and George Weasley, or Padma and Parvati Patil, or both!?!

[angieh]

George and Fred Weasley

[pamela81]

I hope you get a pup soon angie x

[lynz85]

fred and george :)

[angieh]

Squirrel - for the effort you put into your presentations. I'd be dumbstruck. I suppose it's another form of acting really!

[pamela81]

lol i forgot there was 2 sets!! Woops the main 1s who are Harrys friends. Sorry 2 correct answerrs if that helps

[dandysmom]

PB the Weasleys, never saw the movies

[calismum]

George and Fred Weasley

[Shelley123]

Sorry don't know

Hope you find your Schnauzer soon, Angie

[pamela81]

3 right answers :) sorry about the ambiguity there.

Question 2, Which famous bear was Paul McCartneys "the frog song" associated with?

[Squirrel]

Squirrel - for the effort you put into your presentations. I'd be dumbstruck. I suppose it's another form of acting really!

Aaah! Got you. I like it - except when I'm doing it and can feel myself shaking that is! :roll:

I like the creativity of it I guess - and the coming at it from another angle. I keep people on their feet until the very last minute as to what am going to do! :-D

[Shelley123]

Rupert ?????????????

[angieh]

I'd forgotten about the Patil girls and wouldn't have remembered their forenames anyway. Felt very sorry for them at the Ball in The Goblet of Fire.

[Squirrel]

Pamela... Haven't a clue!

[angieh]

I'll go with Rupert too!

[lynz85]

only famous bear i know is yogi!!

[calismum]

Rupert, Rupert the Bear!

[pamela81]

i cant do presentations, your far braver than me squirrel! im down to do morning training at work and ive asked to be taken off it because i panic so much

[pamela81]

quick answers tonight, im thinking perhaps my questions might be a tad too easy :S

[pamela81]

Question 3,

What island group is named after a type of crocodile?

[angieh]

Well, that's not so easy .......

[dandysmom]

I'll PB Rupert ..... haven't known any so far!!

[Squirrel]

Sorry to hear that Pamela.

If I'm honest, I've only done two presentations while working. This one, which I've now done twice, and one which I did at the very first course I assisted at.

It helps that the course participants all do a presentation as well - to give them experience of what it could be like to do an interview - and since I'm saying in essence 'I'm very similar to you' the idea is that I'm going to inspire them...

[Shelley123]

Is it Cayman islands ????????

[angieh]

Just came to me .... The Cayman Islands

[dandysmom]

Cayman Islands ..........

[lynz85]

i dont have a clue!

[pamela81]

i got some new pics of the munchkins tonight, Harris sat for ages grooming Skye and we managed to get a couple of pics, soo glad they are coming round :) Hoping we will get a new member soon so i can use the pic :)

[calismum]

pb caymen islands - although I think I'm too late!

[Squirrel]

Am in the same boat CM! :)

[calismum]

Breagh has been out on her own twice now - each time she came back after about 20mins. I have been so worried about letting her out. OH took it upon himself to let her out while I was at work.

[Shelley123]

I'm glad they are settling down Pamela

[pamela81]

Angie, my neighbour used to breed schnauzers, not sure if they still do now though as their female was stolen. Not sure if they got another 1

[Squirrel]

Oooh! Those scary first times out. She really is turning into a big girlie if she's allowed out on her own CM!

[angieh]

SCARY! But good to know that she went out and came home again ....

[Shelley123]

It's scary at first

[pamela81]

question 5,

Doc, Dopey, Happy, Sneezy and sleepy were 5 of the 7 dwarfs, can you name the other 2?

[angieh]

Angie, my neighbour used to breed schnauzers, not sure if they still do now though as their female was stolen. Not sure if they got another 1

That's very sad. Your neck of the woods is a wee bit too far for us really. Kizzy and Pip would have to go into care!!!

[pamela81]

Must be scary letting them out, my oh keeps talking about letting Skye and Harris out and im against it. I would be soo worried the whole time they were out

[dandysmom]

Grumpy, ???

[Squirrel]

grumpy and... *thinks*

[pamela81]

That's very sad. Your neck of the woods is a wee bit too far for us really. Kizzy and Pip would have to go into care!!!

I forgot how far away you are angie, sorry x

[calismum]

Grumpy and Bashful

[Shelley123]

can only think of grumpy

[angieh]

Grumpy ......................... and, errrrrrrrrrm

[pamela81]

1 right name, who was the other?

[dandysmom]

Yes, Bashful too!

[lynz85]

bashfull and grumpy!!

[Squirrel]

That's it CM. Bashful as well as Grumpy! :)

[angieh]

Bashful! Thanks CM!

[pamela81]

how is the snow in other parts of the world? Ours thankfully melted early today :)

[calismum]

The thing about Breagh is she has been escaping as much as posible ever since she was very young. On each occasion she takes off with no fear, not looking back.

I was worried she'd forget where she came from.

Izzi is too worried to go out and sits at the open door with a look of horror on her face.

OH said he was sure Breagh'd be fine so he just opened the door and let her go! Arghhh!

I can't believe they were born outside and spent the first three or four weeks of their lives living in the open!

[dandysmom]

I forgot how far away you are angie, sorry x

Funny how close it feels when playing here... forget we're hundreds and thousands of miles apart!

[Squirrel]

Never really had much snow to comment on really. Could only just see it in amongst everything else.

[pamela81]

thats true angie, its great that the forum brings people together though form all over :)

[angieh]

Funny how close it feels when playing here... forget we're hundreds and thousands of miles apart!

That's so true!

[Squirrel]

I can understand that feeling when it comes to Izzi CM, though Breagh seems to have been born with a taste for the outdoors on her tongue!

And true Eileen - sometimes feels as if we could bump into each other on the street. Of course, probably could pass a few folks without knowing it here - esp if several of the Scottish people closish to Ed headed there for part of the day at some point, but otherwise...

[Shelley123]

Funny how close it feels when playing here... forget we're hundreds and thousands of miles apart!

Good point, Eileen

[dandysmom]

Utterly off topic, my winter jasmine is blooming!! :D

[calismum]

Yes, chating away on here does give you a false sense of 'closeness' doesn't it!

[pamela81]

the last question was actually number 4, not 5!!

Question 5 now, apologises for the mistake.

Brazil are the most successful team in the fifa world cup. How many times have they won it?

[Squirrel]

Havent a scooby Pamela!

[pamela81]

Yes, chating away on here does give you a false sense of 'closeness' doesn't it!

it really does, i also feel that i have made some great friends on this aswell eventhough we are all spread about the world

[calismum]

Utterly off topic, my winter jasmine is blooming!! :D

Mine didn't flower this year :(

I have loads of beautiful snowdrops tho'. Hoping the weekend will be good for some pics of them.

[angieh]

I have no idea ...................

[dandysmom]

Someone who knows answer so I can PB!! I don't do sports :mrgreen:

[calismum]

I have no idea - OH says he thinks 5.

[lynz85]

no idea either, random guess....4?

[pamela81]

got 1 right answer!

[angieh]

Utterly off topic, my winter jasmine is blooming!! :D

Mine has been blooming for a while ..... not sure for how long as it's on a south facing wall down the side of the bungalow. I must try and remember to take some cuttings as I need to plant some in a place where it's more easily seen. Been really lovely this year.

Has anyone noticed how many catkins there have been this year? Is it me, or is it loads more than usual???

[Shelley123]

5 ?????????????

[dandysmom]

I'll PB CM's OH! 5

[pamela81]

[pamela81]

[angieh]

Has anyone given anything up for Lent???
