DJohn are you flirting with me?

Because if you are it's working!
:shock: And nothing worse than a bald dick pic for an avatar.

Well, it's a solitude of Sappho tonight sigh. Back to the dictionary!

At the risk of sounding pedantic, when Squirrel (GG) asked what the collective noun is for the squirrel, well I just had to find out. I'm like that. I have an enquiring mind. It's not my fault.
Well... there isn't one! You can have a harem of seals by the way, but no squirrel communes, groups, masses or collectives. Bummer isn't it?
I suggest a secrecy of squirrels - rather apt in the light of GG's original post!
Right. Well, I be off then. You all really wanted to know that didn't you? Yep, thought so.

PS: Since posting this it has been bugging me, so I've done a little more digging. There is no accepted collective noun for squirrels, though I have come across separately a scurry and a dray (as opposed to drey = nest).
However I did find the collective noun for nymphomaniacs!
Come and look, DJohn! I wasn't fibbing but you can find that out for yourself. Would you like coffee while you're down there?

Don't look at me! I haven't stolen the batteries! We ladies of the WI are plentifully supplied thank you. A new rabbit wouldn't go amiss, though - one of the little control buttons just flipped off the other day. Perhaps I applied a little too much pressure on setting 6...
Brumlad, you have a lot of tension here... you need a good workout to ease up these knots in your shoulders...

Welcome to SH, player.
Come on in and join us. Tell us a little about yourself and become one of the family.
Have fun in the forum!

Right, coffee with two in a chipped Aston Villa mug for Brumlad... would you like cream with that, darling?

Good morning Sarge!
All alone? I have a fresh pot of coffee and some warm croissants with butter and apricot preserve. Can I tempt you?

Gman, I have been a teacher, but I was there as a parent.

Evening everyone! Yes it's that Friday night feeling isn't it? Then again I've had a manic few hours supervising a kids' disco - don't they just hate it when the grownups start to boogie? How to embarrass the younger generation in one easy gyration!
And I'm so looking forward to tomorrow night too - another evening on the PC. Thank God for the forum!

Sarge, as Head of Defence (Northern division) you would be on duty that evening - so get your kit off there's a love.

Allgood,
Surely Will would have to be Master of Ceremonies, wouldn't he? Now who else should be in a state of natural born grace at the event...? Oooh, could this be an excuse for a top 10? No, perhaps not, it caused mayhem when it was tried in the GFZ!
Sappho - who will keep her own counsel on this particular issue! :twisted:
This song meant a great deal to me when I had to make a big decision. I made that decision and have never regretted it, but the song remains special.
If you were a king up there on your throne,
would you be wise enough to let me go
for this queen you think you own
wants to be a hunter again,
wants to see the world alone again
to take a chance on life again, so let me go, let me leave
Dido, 'Hunter'
Whatever happened to this idea, Will? Or did it get gazumped by Munchfever?
Still keen to attend a gathering!

Paul darling, I use lots of terms of endearment - love, sweetie, darling, etc - because I'm a naturally affectionate person.
It has nothing to do with Sir Richard Attenborough's excuse that he could never remember names and so called everybody 'darling'!
