    What you say drives me crazy.

    Reading forums (fora?) certainly highlights a lot of problems. I see so many people who went to the shop and "brought" a new dress :rage: Although I have to say, I do TRY to be patient about this sort of thing. After all, people are educated to different levels, and have different levels of...

    WWII and the US/UK

    thanks guys, that certainly makes things a bit clearer. The potato soup thing sounds familiar too! (or lentil, or split pea...). Sounds like it was all in the attitude, sounds really swinging!

    WWII and the US/UK

    except perhaps by my Grandmother on my Father's side. This was how my father came to be made! :o I'm not in touch with him at all (never have been - we got out when I was 6 months old), if I were I'd love to know more - it would be a fascinating story.

    Worst insult

    here in the UK, the term most often used is "perfumed ponce" - I think today it is used to insult a particularly vain and well groomed man who wears aftershave etc. rather than referring to homosexuality. Most men I know, sadly, are threatened when they see a man who has clearly taken time over...

    WWII and the US/UK

    We were talking about this over dinner last night. Some friends were round and we were wondering what theme to have for the cocktail party (we've decided '30s - '40s now, so fairly flexible for people wanting to dress up!). Anyhow, they had assumed I wanted the party to be UK based (but tbh I...

    Tea Suggestions

    Oh sorry Rosie, have just read your party report!!!!!!! It sounds FABULOUS! I would have LOVED to have been there. Lots of things I haven't heard of food wise (but would love to find out lol ) and a great selection of teas. Did you take any pics at all of the food?

    Tea Suggestions

    Rosie, your menu sounds fabulous, and so does Decodolls! Well I can give you a few ideas of the English tea, and Scottish High tea. English tea staples - scones with jam and clotted (perhaps what you call Devon) cream. Tea loaf. Victoria sponge cake with jam and fresh cream. Tea - with milk, or...

    Help me plan a playlist for a cocktail party!

    not small, no. plenty of room for dancing :) not a mansion either, mind! so is big band sort of music not different from those (or a different time period)? I told you I didn't know much! All sorts of people, from mid twenties to mid fifties! Very eclectic group of friends, very open...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    at least the nail varnish remover didn't ruin the shoe itself, I've had some pretty awful accidents with that stuff. Most notably the time a little friend put nail varnish on my Barbie's eyes - I made her go blind trying to take it off!

    Help me plan a playlist for a cocktail party!

    OK so the party isn't until I finish my PhD (a reward, if you like) BUT a good playlist for my iPod needs time to plan. I was thinking I would go down the route of classic cocktails (may need help on that one too!) rather than overly fruity and dayglo creations........ am at the mo getting quite...

    If only he'd clean up a little...

    Ah but Johnny wouldn't be Johnny if he was at all groomed! The French must despair though! He can be rather dapper though - in his own peculiar way. And agreed about Jack Sparrow - after that film I kept subtly trying to organise a fancy dress party so I could get my hubby dressed up as a...

    Hello, I'm new!

    Leslie, I certainly will do that. Haven't got round to it yet but intend to before tomorrow as my hair appointment is at 4pm.... Hallo Caledonia! Nice to see another Scot (although I'm only honorary - English originally). I've been to a picnic in the park with some other Mums today, and it...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    they're scrumptious, especially the cream and black....... I have fallen in love with a coat in Marks and Spencer that would be perfect with those....... (but then I live in the UK so probably couldn't get them!)

    Pancakes, Waffles, Crepes or French Toast...?

    What Are You Reading

    Two books at the moment: Five quarters of the orange by Joanna Harris (author of Chocolat), and Consider Phlebus by Iain M Banks (Iain Banks doing his sci-fi bit. I love a bit of sci-fi or fantasy). Before these, Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins. He's soooo good. Before that, The Illuminatus...
