You're right, Norma, my limericks here and at Robbie's forum are rubbish.... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

 

I bow to your limerick skills.....

 

 

There once was a guy named Gary,

His chin was slightly hairy,

He tipped over a cow,

With a farmer's old plough,

Just to satisfy his craving for dairy.... :unsure: :unsure:

I didn't mean that your limericks were poor! Just that the Robbie Forumers seem a bit lethargic in posting limericks at all (they ain't much fun are they?) Yours are good ... if a little ... weird!

Well, what can I say, Norma, I am a lot weird...... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Weird in a nice way! :) We Brits would probably call it 'eccentric'.

I know I'm a weight short of a shipwreck.....a few fries short of a happy meal.....a couple of bricks shy of a full load.....several cards shy of a full deck.... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

 

I couple pence shy of a shilling.....several shillings shy of a quid.....

 

Okay, I'll stop now..... :)

I love those expressions for being 'a bit mad'. My favourite has to be by a British comedian ... Mike Harding ... when speaking of a mad aunt he said 'She's got all her chairs at home but three of them are rockers'.

 

Norma

I think most people I'm acquainted with online rather like me in my 'madness'.....

I'm away with friends for the weekend so see you on Monday.

 

Norma

Did you have a nice weekend away, Norma?? B) B)

Certainly did! Came back nice and refreshed! We were so lucky with the weather ... it only started raining the day we came back! Mind you ... with dodgy windscreen wipers ... it was a bit of a slow drive!

 

Norma

Ya cant beat a nice break away even if its only a short one, i really need one myself but its unlikely to happen.

This is where we went!

OOh where's that Norma?

That's the tram going up to the top of the Great Orme at .... Llandudno in North Wales. We wanted to go on the cable car but although the weather was beautiful ... sunny and warm ... there was a bit of a high wind so we chickened out! Going again in May or June though so may be brave enough then!!!!!

 

Norma

Was there also a visit to the hometown of Tom Jones?? Pondy Pridd (sp)......

Don't blame you! Went in one once in Switzerland......in November......never again! Looks like a really lovely place though.

Alfie ... Llandudno really is beautiful. We drove over to Anglesey as well and visited Beaumaris Castle. Beaumaris is so pretty too ... really unspoilt.

 

Biggie ... Pontypridd is in South Wales so no - we didn't go there.

That place looks absolutely gorgeous! I'm glad you had a wonderful time.

Hi everyone. I know that a few negative things have happened lately with the public and private lives of certain TT members. I am glad that this is a place where we can all express our views (whether we agree or not). Hopefully there will be something positive to talk about in the future.

 

I hope you all have a nice weekend!

Interesting World Cup, eh?
