*Vonny frantically searches for a pair of gloves and straw bonnet with flowers. Now where did I put the ******** (oops sorry) parasol. Pink thirties-style dress with lace over bodice (know of someone else who will need lace over their bodice!) Where's my shoes!!!!!!! can't find them. ******** Uncrosses legs, coughs behind hand, sits demurely fully clothed and in possession of all her unmentionables (wouldn't want to frighten anyone). OK. What was the next lesson??

Tony ROFPMSL Anna Post script - You may be in need of this instruction before departing for foreign soil: 'Kill no vermin as fleas, lice, ticks in the sight of others. If you see any filth or thick spittle, put your foot dexteriously upon it. If it be upon the clothes of your companion, put it off privately, and if it be upon your own clothes, return thanks to him who puts it off.'

Trifley runs through thread on way to Robina for shopping. Hi all Mary...do you want to loose more weight or sell the house? Ya can't have both unfortunately.

Anna...where on earth did you get that list? I wait with bated breath for the next installment. If Graeme has a day off while you're at Tamborine we could also join you for coffee.

Ta Anna.....but I'm not going to any 'Blues Vs Collingwood' footy matches while where away...but thanks anyway for the Electricution lesson. Tony Oz..:>)) ..who made it to grade 6 ( by default )

LOL, Anna. Of course, any of my words were not directed at you. Upon meeting you, I realised you were from a fine and upstanding family. Please, should my words have caused you any offence, then accept my sincerest apologies. Sage words of travel advice for Tony, Anna. He should truly appreciate this. Yes, Trifley, I'm afraid the toes are suffering from a touch of frostbite, but you'll not hear a word of complaint from me. A lady never complains. Lew Daly-Watkins :-)

All this hetikit edumuckation stuff is doin me head in . . . or is that the constant sound of drills and jackhammers coming from two floors down where they are ripping out a bathroom !!! The lovely Ray has just phoned and asked me if a trip to Perth on Thur 29th sounds OK - he would work on 30th, we would have the weekend to ourselves - and we would fly off to Jakarta on Monday - back in Sydney about July 9th! Sounds good to me !!! A week of being in hot weather Yummy! Off to find some peace and quiet among the city traffic Catch you all later luv Laurie

My My, we are all very quiet and polite today. The bipolar girl showing her finer side. Think I like this one, I may even learn something. Tell me, Ms Daly-Watkins, when meeting people for the first time should one talk about breasts and penii. Should one wear tiara's and boas to a Casino lunch. And is it acceptable to make merry at such an occasion. SuzyQ

Ah Miss Crewella - what beautiful manners you have. For the benefit of others - particularly those who are venturing beyond our Australian shores: '90. Being set at Meat, scratch not, neither spit, cough or blow your nose except there's a necessity for it. 91. Make no show of taking great delight in your victuals, feed not with greediness, cut your bread with a knife, lean not on the table, neither find fault with what you eat. 92. Take no salt or cut bread with your knife greasy. 93. If you soak your bread in sauce, let it be no more than what you put in your mouth at a time, and blow not your broth at table but stay til it cools of itself. 94. Put not your meat to your mouth with your knife in your hand, neither spit forth the stones of any fruit pie upon a dish nor cast anything under the table. 92. Put not another bit into your mouth til the former be swallowed lest your morsels be too big for your gowls. 93. Drink not nor talk with your mouth full neither gaze about you while you are drinking. 94. Drink not too leisurely nor yet too hastily. Before and after drinking, wipe your lips. Breathe not then or ever with too great a noise, for it is uncivil. 95. Cleanse not your teeth with the table cloth, napkin, fork or knife but if others do it, let it be done with a pick tooth.' Dear Wattlers - if one adheres to these simple rules, one will never make a display of oneself in a public place. Oh and Tony - No. 109 states: 'Let your recreations be manful not sinful.' I do hope you have a happy holiday.....! Lady Bountiful

Good one Laurie, and did you tell him that you needed new clothes for the warmer weather. LOL

Suzy, I think it's acceptable to speak of breast and penii, though perhaps not in the same sentence.

But under no circumstances soak them in sauce. Lady Bountiful

Not even chocolate sauce? or maybe whipped cream, occasionally.

Definitely not! And don't scratch either of them with a greasy knife!!

Why would I want to scatch them with a greasy knife????

SuzyQ There seems to be no reference to chocolate sauce or whippped cream so I daresay that would be acceptable. I'm sure you would have to adhere to the second part of the rule : 'Let it be no more than what you put in your mouth at a time.' Lady Bountiful

Yea'h well....you left the most important one out , Anna. 96. Two ,four, six, eight...bog in dont wait....:>)) Now ....number 94. Yes well...( burp )....and ( belch ).....and wipe me face wif me sleave ( to shew gud manors )...but...... unfortunatley,..... i dont have an uncle-civil. Tony Oz..:>))

No, but the occassional coating of oil does wonders.............. smooths out the wrinkles. :-)) And remember, more than a mouthful is wasted.

PMSL!!!!!!!!! God only knows what the office thinks I'm doing in here!!!!!!! Lew Lew xxx

No. 92 Don't you just hate it when your morsels are too big for your gowls, pmsl. Lew Lew

Oh my goodness Tony That's not the same number 96 as I have on my list..!! Mine says - 'It's unbecoming to stoop much to one's meat. Keep your fingers clean and when foul, wipe them on the corner of your table napkin.' Couldn't find anything about bogging in at all... Lady Bountiful
