Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments The meaning of life, the universe and everything...

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Cosmic resonance.

Discussed our class rules with the five year olds today.

They boiled it down to Be Kind and Do Our Best.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments The wisdom of children!

I wish more adults had the same outlook.


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I count myself lucky that most adults I spend time with do have that outlook. :)


message 5: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments That is lucky.

My day job brings me into contact with politics where it sometimes seems that the polar opposite happens.


message 6: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments Mind the gap - vegan drivers and alpha males with something to prove about the contents of their underpants.

Bookworm | -183 comments If only life was so easy for you men.


message 11: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments We can dream ... and dread the moment when my wife and my Mum read that blog.


message 12: by Bookworm (new)

Bookworm | -183 comments You think we don't know about the shortcuts, but we do, we just let you get away with them.


message 13: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments LOL! I think that's very true. My wife did sound a little sheepish when she told me over the phone that the only washing machine setting I really needed to know was synthetics at 30 degrees.

I think she would have been much happier if it had stayed as an arcane mystery that only she knew about.

Mind you, I was glad when she told me about not mixing dark clothes with light ones. That is one "shades of grey" moment that I am glad to have avoided.

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments Apparently, Italian woollen garments that have cashmere on the label should be washed by hand and on no account be washed at forty degrees with a pile of jeans and t-shirts and male underwear.

I did discover how children's jumpers are made though.


message 15: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments Actually you don't need an iron. Chose your clothes carefully and you can dress out of the tumble drier ;-)

And never, ever put stuff back in the right place after washing up.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I don't have an iron.


message 17: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Not even an iron constitution? ;)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Kath wrote: "Not even an iron constitution? ;)"

More like tinfoil at the moment...


message 19: by Kath (new)

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Aww. Poor lamb. Oh! lamb! :)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments I have lamb leg steak in the fridge for dinner tonight. Yum!


message 21: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments You don't need an iron? Hey that gives me an idea...


message 22: by Bookworm (new)

Bookworm | -183 comments When people couldn't afford irons they would fold clothes and put them under their mattress. My grandfather used to do that.


message 23: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments They used to teach army recruits to do it at one time, kept the creases in


message 24: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments Today's blog is about the secret of humour, by way of a good conversation, relationship, book ...

A kind of bogtf - buy one get three free.

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments The league of super-villains, nemeses and Number Ones would like to make a complaint

Jim | 21809 comments :-)


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 34228 comments Im liking this blog :-)


message 28: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments And I am liking comments like that! Many thanks.


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Yeah, I'm glad I mentioned opening a blog to him.

He's good.


message 30: by Jim (new)

Jim | 21809 comments He is :-)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments ... blushes ...

Today's wittering is about the secret war between the Grammar Police and the Grammar Outlaws. Choose your side:

Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Pre-Madonna!

Love it!

Almost as good as loving the smell of your boyfriend's colon.


message 33: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments Patti

I hereby give notice that I will wait a decent amount of time then shamelessly steal "boyfriend's colon"! That's brilliant. I nearly fell off my chair.

Today's offering is a bit more experimental. It's a piece of internet trolling set as a Shakespeare play.

A Midsummer Night's Troll ...

And if you don't like the words there's a beautiful song to listen to.


message 34: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments The Kindle is doomed. Discuss.

http://willonce.wordpress.com/2014/08...

All together now ...

Oh no, it isn't!

Oh yes, it is!


message 35: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments Carrying on my goal of one post per day, today's is about the age of mistrust:

message 36: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments Good one.


message 37: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments Glad you liked it. Today Ug is munching on a woolly mammoth sandwich and contemplating the pros and cons of agricultural revolution.

http://willonce.wordpress.com/2014/08...


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Sheesh.

How about a happy blog for a change?

;)


message 39: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments Okay dokey. One happy blog coming up...


message 40: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments The fine art of nudging - for Patti.

http://willonce.wordpress.com/2014/08...


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Aw, Will. You're really quite delightful, you know.

You've certainly made me smile.

Thank you!


message 42: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments A pleasure. Thanks for the nudge.


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments I'll smother a couple rashers of bacon in maple syrup in your honour later. :D


message 44: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments So now I have an excuse for looking ;~)


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments The only excuse you need is that Will writes a terrific blog Davidmelad.


message 46: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments Yes, but which one?

The "I can't help it. It's in my nature" puppy dog excuse?

Or the "I was just checking to see if you were having a wardrobe malfunction" excuse?

Mind you, I did once try the patented "does my bum look big in this?" excuse. That's when you say to your dearly beloved that you only look at other ladys' behinds so that when she asks "does my bum look big in this?" you have a baseline against which to measure.

No, that one never worked for me either.

The best I have come up with is a mutual deal with the Mem. She is perfectly free to ogle George Clooney and Colin Firth as Mr Darcy in return for me admiring the lead singer of the Bangles.


Patti (baconater) (goldengreene) | 56525 comments Oh, THAT sort of excuse!

Dave usually sez he wasn't looking, he was lost in thought about something.

Complete bullshit, of course. ;)

Thanks Patti my thoughts exactly.
Will loved today's blog, but a nudge just doesn't work with some people. My best friend always asks for advice,and then does does what she wants. We then have to step in and help her out.
Even if I asked her 'what century we are in?' She would say 'is this a trick question?'

I thought you were sharper than that, Patti.


message 50: by Will (new)

Will Once (willonce) | 3772 comments I think David and I both knew what sort of excuse we were talking about! ;-)

A bit of male telepathy - the nearest we come to intuition, common sense or the ability to multitask. It's not much, but it's just about all we have got.

Bookworm - you are absolutely right about people who can't take a nudge. The sad thing is that when we know someone like that we can stop trying to help them because it just doesn't get through.
