    Morning birders, what's afoot? Right bunch of Mickey takers round here @kathy, just ignore them.

    Went to a slimming class today. It was a waist of money.

    I have just joined the Apostrophe Protection Society.

    Nobody is safe.

    Both my feet are about size7 smartass. I'm on page 193\500 not gonna finish by the 6th.,..
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    Loved Frankie Valli and The Night, whoever played it
    One of my favourites
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    Pretty sure a US size 7 is a 5 here, definitely plus or minus 2, so possibly Kathy has size 9 feet!
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    My size 9 is US size 9 1/2 so I think you are being a bit unfair there.

    On the Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons front, great song, but why are there only four of them on the record sleeve? Which season got ditched?
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    Think I'm going to have to join the Ellipsis Protection Society as well...
  • KathyKathy
    What are you saying. I have big feet?
  • Brian NBrian N
    Has Dan put his feet in it again? Better not mention big knickers.

    Listening to a little Roxy Music tonight. Contrary to the belief of some snobby musos they didn't die after Eno left.

    Typical Sunday
    I prepare the Lunch
    Go to pub
    Drink too much
    Eat the lunch
    With wine (obvs)
    Fall asleep, possibly snoring (OK definitely)
    Wake up guess the film Bunnyman is watching: 633 Squadron
    I get it right every time

    Any other day it’s Bunnyman snoring in the afternoon, whilst I watch crap on TV

    I love Sundays
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    Now watching No Time To Die, which is the longest film I’ve ever seen in the cinema without falling asleep, rolling my eyes, tutting or otherwise annoying fellow film watchers
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    Have we had a best Bond discussion?

    Got Twigs onto a proper big Welsh mountain this weekend. My mistake. I'm stiff and aching. She's her normal bouncy self. On the way down we went through some quarries where they filmed part of one of the Lara Croft films.

    @DesperateDan sounds like: The Englishman Who Went up a Hill but Came down a Mountain.
    Great film.

    No quizzes for us today
    Out with our oldest friends, she’s just retired, other friends both retired, another two: she retires in October. And The Bunnyman has eight days left!
    I fear for our pockets and livers…
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    Does this mean you will have the Bunnyman at home watching 633 Squadron every day?
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    Islands in the Stream
    Woman in Love
    Chain Reaction

    Connection?

    They hadn't got the foggiest. Not even when they were given the answer. They were exceptional at everything else but oddly not a clue on this one (Only Connect).

    One of those screaming at the screen moments.

    @DesperateDan no googling, is it they are written by the same person
  • ixan57ixan57
    Not heard from @BrianN for a couple of days. Hope he is OK, maybe gone looking for his marbles.
  • ixan57ixan57
    They are all American singers
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    Not a clue, Dan, came up with Barbie and Friends and Gavin and Stacey
    Answer please
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    On Films, more likely Where Eagles Dare…
    I’m sure I’ve told you lot already
    2018: I gave up buying clothes, shoes, accessories et al for my New Year Resolution, which I stuck to, Mr Bunny not allowed to watch the aforementioned (one of my favourite words) film. I bought him the DVD for Christmas. He has a TV where you can slot the DVD in!
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    Mr Bunny guesses Gibb brothers…
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    Well yes, I thought the fact that they were all written by the Bee Gees was something any fule kno. Well done Mr Bunny.

    On that note, Bee Gees only group to have a No 1 hit in both 1960s and 1970s. Bit surprising. Think they had one in the 1980s as well.

    Is @ixan57 going to explode in a few days time?

    Gnight Birdie Friends :)

    This is ominous, I'm taking cover.
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    That collapse of the air traffic control system. The excuses are red herrings. Special sources are indicating that it was due to UFO flying activity in the Brechin area. This might explain @brianN going off grid.
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    Now here's a connection between myself and @brianN.

    Twiggy and I enjoy doggy romps on a lovely piece of land in Upper Bangor, open grassland and some trees sloping down to the Menai Strait with great views. This piece of land was donated to the people of Bangor about 100 years ago by its previous owner, a local and prominent solicitor called John Glynne Jones. His daughter was Mary Glynne who was a very distinguished plant scientist and mountaineer. For much of her career she worked at the world renowned Rothampsted Agricultural Experimental Station in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. For some of the time she was there the Director of the station was the Scottish horticultural scientist Sir William Gammie Ogg. When he retired he moved to Scotland and upon his death he was buried in Edzell churchyard, no doubt just a stone's throw from where @brianN enjoys a lunchtime pasty.

    Tenuous? Ah, but there is more. I spent my childhood in Harpenden and my parents lived there for 50 years. I know Rothampsted well and Mary Glynne was something of a local celebrity as no doubt Sir W. Ogg must be up in Angus. If not he should be. I think you need to pay homage to his final resting place Brian.
  • ixan57ixan57
    Ah got the link. You have both lost your marbles.
    But seriously based on clue pasty. Forfar bridie But don't how that would connect both of you.

  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    @ixain57 waiting for 1
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    Brian active today, so who upset him?
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    It's not 1 we need to worry about @hunnybunny, it's zero. Letting a Scotsman loose with numbers is a worrying thing.
  • HunnybunnyHunnybunny
    But still waiting for 1, it comes before zero, obvs
  • Desperate DanDesperate Dan
    I'm taking nothing for granted with @ixan57.
  • KathyKathy
    I was lost ,but now I'm found :D
  • KathyKathy
    Finished my 550+ page book hurriedly, anxiously waiting to start my new car 'Holly' by Stephen King. Only 500 pages to this one, but I'm not gonna rush it, so if you've been wondering about my silence that's why.
  • KathyKathy

    Why is everyone surprised that Xi and Putin aren't at the G20 summit? All heads of SPECTRE have been called to Moscow for their AGM. Top of the agenda is the spiralling cost of assassinations. Should keep Asher busy though @desperatedan, chance to reel in his scores in ABO?
