My mother once had my sister terrified of the toilet. tears down her cheeks terrified. Because of the Toilet Lobsters that were going to bite her

We lived in a big old house and on the first half landing was the bathroom. I was convinced that there was some kind of ghost/witch woman in the cupboard next to the door that would jump out but only as I left the bathroom. (the cupboard had louvre doors - those slatted you can kinda see through?). I used to get to the door, and as soon as I turned off the light, i'd clear jump the next half flight of stairs and leg it to the bedroom.
I did this for years.
Incidentally - I was very good at high jump in later life...

 

[Tallulah82]

I want one!

Bloody brilliant though.

In Sheffield, there used to be these two big cooling towers at the side of the M1 and my Dad convinced me that Thunderbird 1 used to take-off from there when an emergency was declared.

LOL.

My big bro and I went to stay with my aunt and uncle for a week when we were about 7/8. Every night they moved the gnome in the garden and we had to act all surprised and curious as to why/where/how it moved.
What they didn't know was that the bedroom they put me in to sleep had a poster of Cats the musical that scared the shit out of me so I didn't sleep well so saw/heard them move that frigging gnome each night.

The tray was three foot wide and two foot long and four inches deep. Specific enough for you?

Black enamel on top, white underneath. Took that damn oven about half an hour to reach temperature

Sigh. I would love a range oven. Ok - I believe you. Well done for remembering the details so specifically

trust me, once you'd cleaned that damn tray, you never forget that sort of thing three foot tray, two foot sink

 

[Tallulah82]

LOL!!! Sounds erm - yeah

 

[MSH2]

LOL!!! Sounds erm - yeah

Like a really messy problem that causes the tray to be cleaned properly only for special ocassions? yeah

Sweet dreams

I know this is slightly off on a different tangent but apparently when I was about four, one of my mum's friends came round with her new born baby. Well anyway, I was off playing and when I tottered back into the living room, she was breastfeeding the baby. I asked what was going on and mum said, "She's just giving Ollie some milk."

Apparently I was happy with that and walked off, only to return a minute later and ask, "Is it semi-skimmed?"

Odd question

 

[AWonkyDonkey]

Odd question

Aye. Mum says it shows how intelligent I was to ask what type of milk.

It's not really intelligence. Its seeing her drink about three litres of the stuff a day.

I suppose it makes sense when you're four

I made more sense at four years old than I do now!

Life was more interesting. We literally had monsters in the back yard. Massive bullfrog, larger than a football. And it wasnt the only monster out there

Morning all - not bad.

Monday morning, on the other hand, can take a running jump at itself.

It was much more simple, yes!

Morning all. I'm toying with the idea of getting back into bed and watching a movie, or being lazy, throwing myself on the sofa and watching the finale of Hawaii Five-0.

Ooh decisions...

Good Morning Bunny

Morning folks, chucking it down here . Watching Hawaii Five-0 with wonky and a big bag of pickled onion monster munch looks very appealing at the moment

I'll have the Flamin' Hot ones!

And Good Morning Hunny Good to see you.

 

[StrangeView]

Phew!! If it gets any worse out there, I won't need Hawaii, I can just surf across the car park. Even the resident ducks have abandoned the pond and are camped out under the entrance veranda!!

Oh, and hi hunny, short of Dairy Milk today, but I can pick some up after I've dropped the monster munch over at wonky's
