Re: Happy Birthday
I hate discos too, especially the ones with sticky floors and men who surf around trying to grope unsuspecting females who are innocently dancing (or in my case cavorting randomly) around their handbags. Last time I had the misfortune of going to one of those my ears were ringing loudly for 3 days. Are there women surfing around Laserquest trying to grope unsuspecting men with backpacks on (who've had one too many blue drinks)?

Re: Happy Birthday
It's the "raining" effect I don't like, as the sweat condenses on the ceiling and falls on the dancers. Must be 20+ years since I was in a disco.

Re: Happy Birthday
Urgh, yes, that's truly despicable. And there are usually revolting toilets with Essex (or in my case, Hertfordshire) girls slumped in a heap of sick. Classy.
The shame of it all is that even though I can't dance, disco dancing is quite a laugh really, and very good exercise! My best friend's husband used to run a mobile disco back in the late 70's to the mid 80's. So I went to hundreds of discos! That was when I wasn't being a "groupie" for my husband's band! Good lord, doesn't this make me sound a) sad and b) old?

Re: Happy Birthday
You know you're old when the kids you're teaching introduce a "great new song" that you danced to back in the 80's....And your mother danced to in the 60's
You're sad when you start singing off key to the same song and the kids ask you to stop.

Re: Happy Birthday
Oh I love to do that! Embarassing the kids is my speciality. Favourite tricks include: talking to their friends, and adding them on facebook, putting the car radio on classic fm on full blast and winding the window down when you pick them up, taking a Topshop bag to work, as you say, singing out of tune, and especially dancing badly at parties. Mind you, my son came home singing a Shalamar song today!!! He was suitably gobsmacked when my husband said "I did a support gig with the band that did that at the Hammersmith Apollo."

Re: Happy Birthday
Oh, I do all of the above minus the car radio. I just don't see the need for a car when the cost of parking is higher than a taxi. Lately though embarrassment is simply existing. We were watching tv the other night and I asked the name of one of the characters in the cartoon and got "Mom! You'er embarrassing me!" When I asked why, she replied "You're breathing!" Look what I have coming in the future! She's only 7.
But back on topic, Happy birthday Jimmy!

Re: Happy Birthday
Oh lordy. What'll she be like in 7 years time? They learn hatefulness far too early these days - mine did too, and they're (hopefully) coming back out the other side now. Mind you 5 weeks of my son home for Easter, and I'll soon be amending that comment. And yes, sorry Jim, I sort of hijacked your birthday. Hope it was a good one.

Belated birthday greetings to Jimmy (been away for w/e)
We don't stop laughing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop laughing!
Re: Happy Birthday
Birthday greetings to both Gill and Jimmy - what a week we have had between all of us Pisces! However, I admit to not making much sense out of all the other stuff that has been going on in this thread while I have been away....

Re: Happy Birthday
You mean you can normally make sense of the threads on here? I am truly impressed! Did you have a nice trip?

Re: Happy Birthday
I reserve judgement on the quality of other postings on these forums........ but this one did seem to go off track a bit
...and yes thanks, I had a super birthday trip with wonderful views of snow-covered Swiss Alps across Lake Geneva. We were staying with friends who live just over the border in France. They took us out for a gourmet meal at a little local restaurant and I couldn't resist trying out frog's legs for the first time in my life - they were really nice

Re: Happy Birthday
Wow, that sounds fabulous! You lucky thing! (Well everything apart from the frogs' legs that is). Lots of nice presents and Mother's day flowers too I hope?

Re: Happy Birthday
Shame on you, Scurra!
Well, in the absence of flowers and chocolates for Mother's day, next time he visits I think he should DEFINITELY be on washing up duty!!
Eirian's got a pretty good excuse at the moment, so we'll let her off...

Re: Happy Birthday
Let that be a warning to Fernando and Kingsley as to why you should never have family anywhere near a forum... especially one like this
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

Re: Happy Birthday
I would like to say thank you to Fernando, Kingsley and Lally (I think the credit should really go to their Dad )for the basket of planty things that I will enjoy slowly killing over the next few weeks.
Re: Happy Birthday
and there I was thinking Giraffes lived on green planty things
Re: Happy Birthday
And also the card that I made for you in IT, I even wrote a poem instead of copying and pasting one off a website they had found after googling 'mothers day card poem' like some people did.
