Peculiarities!

[Snadger]

Hi Multiveg -made me laugh out loud!!!!! Does anyone apologise to worms when one gets chopped by mistake??????

According to superstition, if you chop a worm by mistake its supposed to rain!

[Earthbabe]

Well someone must be going for it somewhere. Haven't dug a worm up in a week it's been so wet and wild everytime I'm off with Miss E catered for!

[winnie]

I confess, it was me!!!! I was trying to dig a bed for the potatoes next spring & it was full of worms crawling through all the couch grass roots. Filled 2 barrow loads with roots (began to lose the will to live!!) but did have worms in every forkload. So if you're wondering why it's been raining so much-SORRY FOLKS!!

[Earthbabe]

That would explain why it has got a bit better as the week has gone on and has been lovely in the Shetlands!!

Yep, 'sorry worm'. If we want to brush past a flower with a bee doing its job, we wait until the bee has moved first.

You've all made me a little weirder - I had to do some shopping last night and found myself compelled to select items from the back of the shelf! I didn't do that before I read this thread

Made me feel really guilty yesterday in Somerfield when I did my usual selecting from the back

OH says my MAIN peculiarity is starting a conversation in one room and then walking into another. I reckon I'm just on passage

I drive my OH nuts doing that Jennie!

[Earthbabe]

Mr E would probably tell you that the annoying thing about having a conversation with a woman is that she's usually having three or four conversations at the same time and keeping up is hard work!!! He looks at me very blankly sometimes when I comment on a previous conversation in the middle of whatever is being conversed at the time.

[Lesley Jay]

Yes but having more than one conversation at the same time is so easy for women to do!

[JennieAtkinson]

Of course! Why do men find it difficult? (Come on Nick............ tell us why !)

[Lesley Jay]

I could give you a few suggestions!

[Palustris]

Only some men!. I used to be able to sit in our staff room and listen to every conversation going on and join in as required with no difficulty. I could also listen in to any conversation going on in my Classroom.

[Bibliobeck]

Me too Palustris. I always tell my students I have 'teacher's hearing'...can hear them moaning about a test/task from the other side of the classroom!

[nick the grief]

How can I put this diplomatically.....er....umm...er, sod it I can't.

We men are technical beings & look into things in great detail so we need to concentrate where as you ladies are like butterflies flitting from subject to subject but not going to any detail - thats why you all like soap operas. And like butterflies you are all beautiful & brighten the place up.

Well Nick, I take that as a compliment! - the butterflies being beautiful and all that! ................ DDL
