Naughty but nice.

Then there is the thing that made me fly at an innocent woman in the hairdresser's.

It was my hairdresser's birthday and I had made her a gingerbread which I was delivering especially. The woman, who would not go out of her way to do anything for anybody, said "Very nice but very fattening."

Oh dear me, if it had not been the hairdresser's gingerbread, that woman would have been wearing it. or had it protruding from her in an uncomfortable manner!

It's not the size, it's the way you use it.

Another way of saying I have a small one.

Once, you know, I went to a talk, you know, about how, you know, things were changing, you know.

But if I knew - why would I have gone to that talk!

People who constantly say " I love you " or just "Love you" mostly when ending a phone call, I think...Yeah I bet.

Dear Mersey and all

Hello

The person on the telephone who says "Bear with me a moment".

It drives me nuts. Why do we have to bear with them?!


Best wishes

It does my napper in when someone says "I'm only saying", usually after saying something you didn't particularly want to hear.

Usually, they're not "only saying" - they're stirring it.

Most of the above.

People who use your name as every third word in whatever they're saying.

Human Resources - which replaced Personnel just before I retired. I told my boss that I was NOT a Human Resource - I was a PERSON!!! (I think he was glad I was leaving). :-)
