I'm newly returned to TBBS, so forgive me if this has been a recent issue. But I re-watched 'Second Chances', TNG. ~ (when the other Riker appears) the other night and fell asleep thinking 'What would I think of myself, if I was introduced to "me"?' It's not just a Star Trek question, but do...

So I work in a bookshop and a lovely young man (20'odd)comes in, who has written and published a book. He asks if we would stock it ~ we are a chain, we can't make those decisions. It is fantasy fiction and he basically needs any fantasy fiction site links to advertise it on and spread the...

Christmas Day condundrum. FIL and SisterIL will have Christmas lunch at 1pm at FIL place. We are not invited to lunch but welcome to come up in the afternoon. Son will be working 'til 2/3am C. Eve. and probably not home until the very early hours, so we won't be having Christmas lunch until...

Son bought X-Men destiny for PS3 and has completed it within 2 days. Do I have reasonable cause to return it to the shop and say 'I don't think it's worth what he paid for, I would have thought you'd get more for your money.?' Has anyone returned a game they were not happy with and what...

So I like getting cards from overseas ~ bite me :lol: If there is anyone willing to exchange cards PM me your address and one will be on it's way. Don't roll your eyes at me ~ this has been 3 years now so it's tradition! Merry Christmas :mallory:

So we've had a MLP thing on TBBS for about 6 months (timing?) now Man's boardgamegeek site has a pony invasion too. Rebel geeks have voted MLP 'hide and seek' game as number 5 on the list. Obviously I find this highly amusing as do the other rebels, but 'serious' boardgamegeeks are outraged...

A push bike has been left outside my block of flats for the last 2 weeks. Nearest to my flat and blocking the bin cupboards. I have asked all the neighbours if it belongs to them and No. All markings have been removed ~ no stickers, no brand, no security etc. So today I reported it...

Further to my amusement at the word dandelion ~ today in the crossword I found another word that I giggled at; Clue: Ginglymus in the middle of the human arm. ~ Laughed liked Homer. And I'm not going to tell you the answer ~ No googling allowed! Also, just whilst typing this, just overheard...

Tonight 'hunter gatherer Man' bought home a bottle of 25 yr old homemade Dandelion wine. (I know not from where). It looked like :ack:, smelt like :barf2: yet tasted like :drool: So as I have dandelions on the grass outside I had a cunning plan... Just looked up dandelion wine recipe ~ you...

So we're at work this afternoon ~ myself and She. Her eldest 21'ish son turns up and has walked a good 5 miles to come and see Her. I say " Hi ****, how are you?" *upbeat* She says "Uh Hello" * turns back to kitchen. The place is dead, we have no customers, so I say 'Oh it's nice of him...

This came up during a conversation recently... Why do you have a pair of glasses when they are quite obviously one item? Why is it a pair of pants? Do you have two of them, No. So why a pair? Or is because they have two legholes therefore designed for a pair of legs? What else is refered...

Ponies around the board ~ enough of your fluttering eyelashes, pastel colours and random romping around. It is time to introduce a little more gravatis into one's avatar and what more intellectual and stylish mammal than the Meerkat. The Meerkat is a sociable, dependable amd stylish mammal...

Page 2: "If we asked your friends what would be the 6 key words they would use to describe your personality?" I see many ways of replying to this question: Give them what you think they want to hear. Give them what you'd like your friends to say. Or post it on a board where you...

It's quite a stressfull time at the moment: FIL in hospital ~ not looking too good. Purchasing my flat with Man which involves solicitors, legal shit, making wills and a whole lot of honesty. Son's holiday plans fell through which just brings a whole lot of teen angst into the mix. And...

Son mucked out his room today and I have washed and dried 3 loads of his clothes. He is studying hard (he was going to college in his dressing gown as all his clothes were dirty ;)) for his last exams and also taken on more work so he's busy and it's my day off. But the ironing :rolleyes...

To continue my work winge ~ an update... We are short staffed. Mainly on Mondays ~ we can use the boys from the shop for evenings etc. New boss employed another member of staff ~ who can't work Mondays :rolleyes: She then turned to me and said She was re-doing the rota and I would be doing...

Man has an obsession with board games... of the Settlers of Catan, Stone Age, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne variety. Man is immeasurably more intelligent than me. Looks up tips on playing on boardgamegeek, is logical and a stratagist. I, on the other hand, see playing games as a nice way of...

Dancing on tables and ending up in your underwear in a swimming pool (thankfully theirs!) Inspired by a convo on FB. This memory of one party in particular has sprung to mind. It was my best friends' parents in law's something anniversary and I think I was just invited for the fun element...

Sir Squeak, the Cat, has a habit of deciding where He wants to sleep. Usually this changes every couple of weeks but within this time He is determined to sit where He desires. He had a penchant for Man's comfy chair for a while and would plonk Himself upon it whether Man was there or not...

So when I'm at work and cooking cookies or doing the washing up I'm out of view and can't see people at the bar. So instead of people shouting "Oye" or whistleing I decided a far more discreet way of attention seeking was in order. First off I bought a gorgeous crystal bell from a charity...
