CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Morning all. Mad as normal in here, and if anyone thinks I answer to vicar... then we've got problems.

Bluey, the sudden interest in smarties stems from the sudden interest in someone who is interested in smarties - make sense? ;-)

Of course J Stratford that makes complete sense.....your non-girlfriend who you acquired very recently....or...your three year old child who you never knew you had until recently ;0).

Morning Blue, don't some people have 'interesting' lives :-)

Morning optomistc, LOL. Would you like a pot of tea?

The Chinese curse rears its head once more:

"May you live in interesting times".

Socrates, I am probably going to regret asking you this, but you said I should live dangerously.......please explain why it's a Chinese curse to live in interesting times?

Blue what a lovely idea, one sweetener and milk please.

No problem optomistic.

Bluelady, the Chinese origin is doubtful but oft quoted. The saying is widely thought to be American in origin but based on a Chinese proverb where the context of "interesting" is believed to refer to turbulent or dangerous times. There is a Chinese proverb which loosely translates to "better to be a dog in a peaceful time than be a man in a chaotic period."

If you need any more information I'll ask my old mate Confucious, I'm sure he will have something wise to impart.

Socrates, interesting, interesting and again I say interesting, lol. My husband uses the word interesting when he is being
diplomatic about something of which he is not entirely certain whether he likes it or not and doesn't wish to offend!!!

Now that is interesting!

Tea is however more interesting especially when taken with a danish - anyone else want some?

I'll have some, and a tea and danish, please.

3 + 4 Socs......and tea and a danish
;>)

Very interesting in here... you learn something interesting every day... shutting up now!

Yes please Bunny. Danish sounds lovely.

Bluey, Are you implying those of us of an adult nature aren't allowed to eat smarties? ;-)

PS Good book Interesting Times.

Why does my mobile always seem to need charging up. Captain Kirks communicator never gets charged but always seems to work.

J Stratford, knowing that cobber is an adult and you are also one does actually surprise me that there are at least two adults who like smarties enough to buy/eat them......however, I was more interested in knowing why you suddenly had a partiality in buying/eating smarties ;0)

Morning all.

Socs maybe you use it too much? ;>)
Keaydian you're 39 minutes late for morning ;>)

Lunch anyone?

Bluey.. I'm not interested in eating smarties per se - only in buying them. And no I haven't got a three year old I don't know about.. at least not as far as I know ;-)
