Sheilaz Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 When in M&S this morning Bob Dylan came on siging Lay Lady Lay and Carl has been 'singing' it all day. I use the word singing but........ Please help! Well, you could ask M & S not to play music, ours doesn't! They did have an opera singer (live) to advertise the store card once & that was brilliant, everyone walked around smiling. I don't remember the goat reference but then it prob. went over my head too. I'll ask LSH if he can explain. Perhaps you could tell us, Jane!

SarahJo Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I think it had more to do with longish curly hair, and the "unshaven" look ........ goodness knows what he would have thought of Geldof . The only bit that made me cry was before Madonna ... not Geldlof spouting on, but the final pic of the live aid vid, and then they bought on the "surviving child" a GORGEOUS young woman ..... that spoke far more to me than any of the rest of it.

Sheilaz Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 Oh Sarah, I agree.......absolutely stunning, yet close to death 20 years ago. Such a positive message; and we mustn't give up hope that change could happen. Whatever debate, and cynicism, surrounds the whole subject, I do support Geldolf's initial message (gist of)...."In the 21st century, when theoretically there could be enough food to feed the world, yet 50,000 starve daily, we should have the intellect to solve this injustice." He's never suggested that he has all the answers......just brought the whole subject to the fore. So good for him.Although I would hope the greatest move towards M.P.History will come from within Africa (& let's not forget parts of Asia too) the G8 have the power to start the ball rolling. oops, I'm spouting now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I hope this doesn't turn into a family saying! We took Lauren(7) and Jake(5) into the local Hunting/Shooting/Fishing/Equestrian shop this morning. He was stroking the resident dog and kept calling her 'He'. I kept saying she's a girl and eventually he replied "how do you know?" So I bent over and whispered in his ear. He then bellowed down the full shop "LAUREN - GRANDMA SAYS IT'S A GIRL DOG BECAUSE IT HASN'T GOT ANY DANGLY BITS" Other customers highly amused - Jake may not make it to 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Its been very entertaining this morning following this topic from beginning to end. My contributions would be: Cement mixer = minx minxer Picnic = nic nic Todays irritating tune would definately have to be 'The girl from Ipanema' - nothing like a bit of lift music!

Cate in NZ Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 We still refer to Heli-hotters ever since my toddler son couldn't get his tongue around the word helicopter. Problem is he's 13, rapidly approaching 14 now, and we still say it For a very long time my daughter had "to markets" instead of toes. A favourite bedtime game when she was tiny was "this little piggy went to market" etc, gently tugging each toe as we chanted the rhyme until the weee, weee, weeee all the way home ended up with tummy tickling. She loved the game, and the "to markets" name stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Priceless aren't they! Kate (and her Mum) write all these down - I didn't but just remember a few. We still call milk 'lonk' - my son is 31 now ....and at 18 months he couldn't make the 'sm' sound and used 'f' instead - friends used to get him saying Smarties and then rolled around laughing - he loved all the attention and kept repeating it. As for irritating music Lauren and Jake have spent the whole holiday singing "When the Saints go marching in" which they learned at school just before they finished - if I hear that just one more time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 What a lovely way to start the morning, rereading this thread! Made me think about our family and the silly things that are said! Our sons have always called swimming goggles 'gogglers', and trunks 'trundles' - doesn't half confuse the swimming teacher when Owen says 'I don't want to jump in the pool without my gogglers'. When Duncan was in primary 1 his class did a 'production' of Noahs Ark, which caused great amusement when they got to the song 'The animals went in 2 by 2', and half the class could be heard to sing 'the animals went into the zoo'............... When I was pregnant with my daughter I must have said to a friend one day, within earshot of Duncan, that if it was another boy it would be getting sent back. Duncan, very concerned by, this told his nana, who pointed out that I was only joking and that I would love a baby boy as much as a baby girl. Duncan very solemnly told his nana ' I don't think she is - if it's a boy I think she is going to give it to you...........' Both the boys then became convinced when I had their little sister that I had a hidden zip in my tummy that the doctor undid to get her out! And of course, the boys are convinced that all birthday cakes are made by the Birthday Piggy, and are delivered to the kitchen when no one is looking, just before it's time to sing 'Happy Birthday' I'm not sure where it came from, but it's stuck even though Duncan is nearly 8, and no one else in the world has ever heard of the Birthday Piggy!

KateB Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 When I was little, Mum and Dad used to frequently entertain customers at home and so I used to meet them. One particular evening, an american man came round for dinner but I hadn't gone to bed yet and so he tried to have a conversation with me - I was 5 at the time. After talking to me about school and me being rather bored, he asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up expecting me to say 'doctor' or 'teacher' or something of that elk and I replied with 'I want to be a care bear....the pink one' and toddled off into the kitchen...

Sheilaz Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 Its been very entertaining this morning following this topic from beginning to end. My contributions would be: Cement mixer = minx minxer quote] Good morning from Snorbens, Jason.........are you & Sarah counting the days...only 8 to go? Oops, I'm a bit about the start of this thread & wondered about deleting it, esp. now people read it who have met me But then, it is a laugh, & I suppose my batty image is here to stay, & increasing daily Yes, cement mixer is so hard to say as a toddler but such a facinating object! Hence, we've been saying Mix up dia for 20 years! Had a chuckle at the other words Lesley, KateA & KB, & Shona...priceless aren't they? Keep it going!

Lesley Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Just remembered another from my son. Aged about 12 they were learning about 'Effigies' at school. We were visiting Worcester Cathedral when he decided to tell us all about 'ejiffigis' Cathedrals are our favourite buildings and we often visit and each time I have a laugh to myself about the effigies. Whilst on the subject of cathedrals - I decided to recite "The cat crept into the crypt.............." to Carl in one of the Cathedrals - turned round to find one very startled lady verger and Carl nowhere to be seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 My youngest Cleo was playing "I Spy" with us a few years ago.....she must have been about 6......& had us all stumped with "something begining with CH" (the sound!) Turned out to be Tree ! Also I ignored this thread for days because I thought it was clled family Savings, & we don't have any of those so I didn't bother looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
