Mrs Frugal Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 The guess is almost right!! It all started when Lesley, Jane and I were first granted moderating powers. I used to say I'd go and wave my moderating wand then it progressed to a wand, cape and superpants pulled up over my tights in superwoman style and it's kind of grown since then - as has the description of my superpants! Now I'm SuperKate with superpants! Just disappointed you big time, haven't I!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 BTW, that's how I got my avatar! Jane did it for me - complete with big superpants!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieP Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 the Mekons : I see that their Discography is as long as your arm!!! I hang my head... Dan, if you have to download one track, make it "Where were you"? Fantastic punk band...can't understand why they never made it big. OK how about The TV Personalities?

Jem Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Ho Hum... It's taken me a while to get around to reading this thread but it's brought back some great memories. I got married in 1986 so that was a great year. I have to confess that the 80's didn't leave quite as much of a mark as the 1970's though. There was too much bouncy hair around! I think my favourite song of the 80's was the 12" version of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's 'Two Tribes'. That bit where they say... "if anyone should die whilst in the shelter, put them outside. But remember to tag them first for identification purposes'... Ahhhhh Happy days Incidentally, be careful of the comments about my jokes otherwise I may have to inflict more Cheers Jem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieP Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Being a teacher, I get to hear loads of silly names (I won't mention any of course ). My favourites have to be the unusual ones....Noah, Felix, Martha....not sure I'd be brave enough to call any offspring of mine those though... Best name ever heard of? Annette Kerton. (yes, really)!

Which is why my chicken was named Tallulah - couldn't inflict it on a child but I love the name As for Annette Kertan........... Poor child!

Mrs Frugal Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 When I was working at the school we had loads of Kayleighs! You were guaranteed to have at least one Kayleigh in each year group! We had an assortment of "fashionable" names plus some rather obscure biblical ones - Kayleb (not my spelling by the way!!) was one that springs to mind. We also had a George Harrison, a Mollie-Mai, several Ambers, a Dillon, a Kitty, a Seth and a Nora. Where have all the Julie's, Wayne's, Gary's and Kevin's gone from when I was at school!

Mel (& Paul) Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I am dealing with a claim involving a child called Heaven - just wait until she is 13 years old, fat lumpy with spots and greasy hair! I also used to know twins called Porshe and Mercedes - poor things and Paul worked with a chap called Lloyd. Not bad you think, but his sister was called Natalie. Again, no problem, but their brother was Barclay - their dad was a bank manager........ Neighbours from a previous house called their daughter Eden. A girl from work called her first daughter Elle (but pronounces it Ellie) and the second one Layla (no chicken jokes please!) Dan - glad you are lowering the tone!

Lesley Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I worked with a lovely German man whose surname was "Ooops, word censored!"e - of course the W was pronounced as V but the payroll lady, who sat next to me, insisted on pronouncing it with a W It didn't matter how many times I told her . She was always phoning through to his office nad asking for him in her own inimitable style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
