[Tabbers (a.k.a. KTAB)]

Dare I ask why the monkey was left hanging?

[NoSugar]

I had to look up egg sarnas because I'd never heard of them - turns out there are several ways to make them. How do you do yours, JC?

Ktab, your description had me there in your garden with you! Comparing to "what would have been" is one of my main tools.

Good luck with your computer nightmare, Molly. At one point our library had no card catalog and no functioning computer system...

hope we you've all found this Monday to be a good one. I've started laundry, taken chicken out to thaw for dinner, and begun a batch of Kombucha all before 7 a.m. so am deciding whether it's going to be a productive day or perhaps I've already done enough :smile:.

Dare I ask why the monkey was left hanging?

they thought it was a french spy.

hi NS!

banging my head against the wall feels better than trying to apply for a new current account. the application is asking me to correct details that they didnt ask me and how much i earn after tax, which i dont pay. computer says no.

[NoSugar]

Computers are always right, Rox :wink: - just ask Molly when she gets home!

[roxane]

did i miss something? mollys computer?

i went on live chat and she said the question was there, i said it wasnt. great. i gave my pretax and post tax as the same amount and it didnt like that either. nowhere does it ask if i am taxable.

im going shopping. lidl here i come!

Evening

Egg sarnies, Sugarbabe.............hard boiled eggs mashed with mayonnaise, salt and pepper...........easy as that.

Mr JC used to work in Hartlepool and you never, never, ever mentioned 'the monkey'.

[NoSugar]

Oh - that is not what the Google images showed! We call that Egg Salad - yummmmm!

Sorry about the computer angst, Molly!

[JackieClaire]

That would be sliced egg and tomato,lettuce and cucumber...........over here.

Its like chips..............our chips are your fries and your chips are our crisps.

[NoSugar]

It certainly could get confusing - especially when we think we're speaking the same language! Ava told me what 'fanny' means to her - definitely not a semi-polite word for rear end !

[roxane]

it means the same here too, fanny pack causes sniggers from kids here.

[JackieClaire]

***snigger***

[roxane]

snort

for anyone lurking and is interested. if i remember right a monkey ran for mayor once too.

[JackieClaire]

I can remember my little brother finding out about that word and using it over and over again with glee until my mother clipped him round the ear.

[NoSugar]

Woe for the girls named Fanny!
