When I Was A Mere Poult On Here

[bobtheturkey]

There was -

Legend (hated me)
Whiffy (deceased)
Dot (mad old bird)
Whiskeysheri (still gorgeous)
Hellibobs (mad northern bird)
And Katie (misty eyed)

And I purchased my first ever b&q orange bucket...heady days indeed

[tonyav]

I bet those buckets was only 50p then, bob.

[wolf63]

Dot is nice and still visits. Whiffey was nice and I, alas, still no longer with us.

Why did you get orange bucket?

[bobtheturkey]

Indeed and the quality was so much better, i could get 3 begonias in one without even a hint of the bottom splitting

[Jackdaw33]

My favourite was Mollykins.

[Mamyalynne]

Heady days they were - they don't make buckets like they used to.

[tonyav]

I don't think that their as Orange as they used to be either, bob.

Fred Puli gave good value in the criminal law columns as he was a retired criminal QC - died from ca gall bladder

oh and crazy desktop
so crazy words fail even me

[bobtheturkey]

They used to be a deeper orange much more wishy washy now, you can tell a lot about the social fabric of a country by the quality of its buckets

[tonyav]

I agree, bob. And they have the bare faced cheek to charge £1 for them these day's to.

[bobtheturkey]

I told a member of staff the other day that I was buying buckets in his store when his pony tail was fashionable

[tonyav]

LOL, and I bet he had hair on top back then, bob.

I remember Desktop. One time I suddenly realised all her 'symptoms' sounded like Carbon Monoxide poisoning after she had been complaining about her gas boiler malfunctioning. I think someone actually went round to check on her.

Bring back Village Vicar

[anneasquith]

You found a member of staff in b&q. Geez oh !!!!!!!

[tonyav]

Aw c'mon, anne. Their aprons match the buckets, you can't miss them ;-)

I liked Mollykins too,jack.I like like to think she discovered boys and turned into a normal teenager.

[wolf63]

Fred Puli was intelligent and amusing. Mark Rae was a sarcastic barsteward but I liked him.

PP is entertaining and misunderstood. None of us are perfect. My wee boy, who is purrfect, has arrived to tell me it's time for bed. :-)

[Cloverjo]

I often wonder what happened to desktops. Poor woman; so many problems. I hope she found another forum.

Peter Pedant, I thought you'd joined long after she'd gone, or have you been around forever and just recently changed your username?

[bobtheturkey]

Did he arrive on springs

Why is Mollykins a clicky link?
