Mothers' Day.

[stewey]

Is it mothers' day, or mothering Sunday, over there this weekend? I haven't seen any threads regarding it, so I'm assuming not.

[campbellking]

Mother's Day was 30 March

[EcclesCake]

In the UK it was back in March (I think).

[2sp_]

No, we've had our Mother's Day. Back in March I think.

[tonyav]

Been and gone here, stewey.

[murraymints]

Was on March 30 stew

[pixie373]

No, it's in March. When is it there?

[stewey]

OK, I guess we're slightly behind the time:) Ours is this coming Sunday.

[Tilly2]

Yours is the real one. Where it all started.

[pixie373]

Better get a card and some flowers, eh, stewey?

[pixie373]

Do you really look like Alan Shearer?

[stewey]

My mother has been dead for many years. Who is Alan Shearer?

[pixie373]

That's fathers' day, tilly. The Greeks and Romans celebrated mothers day.

[pixie373]

Oh, sorry stewey. Thought he was a footballer?

[Tilly2]

Ah, right, Pixie. I didn't realise that. Must google it and find out

[Psybbo]

Stewey, a noted Newcastle and Blackburn footballer, now a pundit

[pixie373]

Actually, i just googled him and he's now 20 years older than i remember (i don't follow football), so please don't be offended

[Tilly2]

Why are we talking about Alan Shearer?

[stewey]

Yes Psybbo, oh, I forgot: that is me.
