awww c'mon everybody, don't leave it to me to say what you're all thinking 

[SteveH]

The namesh Bond - Jamesh Bond.

[Nearly Sane]

Did he say Hi, I'm from MI5, here's my name, it's Zip Wizard? Because he sounds like a shite spy. Did he try and sell you kruggerand futures?

Earlier I wondered why floo started this thread when she started a similar one only a few months ago, if I could remember the title I'd find it but I expect others remember it too.

Also she decided to leave soon after.

And? Maybe she forgot, or couldn't remember what it was called either, or it was a different nuance (I hate that word, nuance, it's not  proper word).

[Robbie]

No need for that, especially not the "And?". You have a habit of responding to posts with nit-picking questions.

I wasn't criticising LR, merely wondering & expressing my wondering. I actually feel quite flat about the fact that LR will not be responding to anything said on her thread. She might look at it though.

Anyway I can't think of anything unusual or particularly interesting to add atm.

And I feel quite flat about someone leaving too so I thought they might benefit from a bit of support for raising a topic and your post seemed harsh to me. Thanks for the clarification.

[Robbie]

I wasn't meaning to be harsh.

Anyway I've found the thread (by searching the word 'bored' which I remembered was used in one of the posts), it was only last November, thought it was earlier than that:-

Which seems to me a different nuance (even if I do hate the word)? Anyway to link two threads , I met Toto Coelo (Humph is more impressed by this than I am)

[Robbie]

I'm impressed.

Nuance is an appropriate word in the context in which you used it, above.

I met Brian May and Dr Legg from Eastenders in the 1980s. Also walked along a street alongside Leon Britton, he was looking down, hands in pockets, puffing out his cheeks and pursing his lips: made me think of Winnie the Poo singing, "Rum tum tiddle tum...".  I have to say I thought he looked sweet!

[Nearly Sane]

For a minute there, I had you meeting Brian May and Dr Legg at the same time  which would be awesome.


I have had to shove Leon Brittan to get him to move off a train, and I elbowed Will Carling in the head on a train  once just because I could .


The nuance thing is from a favourite film Diner which has Kevin Bacon in it who  haven't met but I know someone who has acted with him in my own sad Two Degrees of Kevin Bacon.

I was once on a crowded train journey with a friend of mine, standing room only , when a person squeezed in and became sandwiched between us . It was non other than Mr Bacon

Your friend wasn't Mr Ketchup?


TBH I would have preferred Mrs Brown Sauce but she seems even less likely than Mr Ketchup

[Rhiannon]

I always find it mildly disconcerting that there’s a footballer called Leon Britton.

red or brown , that is the question ?

originally written by old Billy but somebody messed about with the script on first night

Not mushroom for anyone else, I'd have thought.

That"s how I feel about having a politician called Boris Johnson. who am I kidding? That's only true if you change 'mildly disconcerting' to deeply shockingly disturbing.

[Walter]

try this for an interesting and unusual experience;

while standing at the supermarket checkout , unwrap all the plastic packaging from your fruit and veg and leave it in the trolley.
If you're like me ,you'll  only want the produce not the plastic , the supermarket will soon get the message . Good luck!

I bought my house in France 23 years ago. One thing that concerned me was that the green stuff in the garden continued to grow whether or not I was there. Another British second home owner told me that there was (yet another Brit) someone who would do it for me when i was not there. I left my telephone number.

Back in England, a few days later, the phone rang - it was my potential gardener. We agreed about what was to be done and the price and then he said that his wife wanted to talk to me.

She asked me to confirm the village in which I lived. I did so and she said that she had grew up there and that her father had been the vicar. I told her that my house backed onto the vicarage.

....

A few years later, a friend of my wife moved to France, buying a house about 20 minutes drive from ours. Soon after that we were both widowed. My wife's friend decided to stay in France and I would visit her whenever I was there.

One evening, she invited me to a dinner party. I started chatting with the man sitting next to me. It turned out that we had been at school together and had been members of the same Scout group,

Whilst I have had many unusual experiences during my adult life, it is my childhood, which stands out as being really way out. If a film was made about it, I am sure it would be deemed less than credible! My sisters and I often compare notes about our childhood just to ensure we are not imagining it. If a film was made about it, people would say it was just not credible! 

What if someone wrote it down and in future years there was a debate over the accuracy of the record? What would you think if the record was dismissed because the events recorded were not considered credible?

[Maeght]

You said credible in both threads. Just pointing it out.

And clearly events in the gospels are possible if you believe in an all powerful God.
