Welcome to Warped.
I wanted to come back in time and explain something as it doesn't make sense otherwise...(though not much of this thread makes sense anyway) I set up this thread as explained below with a lovely dear lady called Sunny Leith. We had a lot of chat on here and the silliness got me and her and lots of others through some hard times. Sunny left the site when there was some criticism of warped and she deleted all her posts when she left. That is why it doesn't make sense to start with as all her posts are missing and it is a bit of a one sided conversation.... Enjoy it all the same...
Hi there,
This is a follow on from the 'dumb things people say' recent thread that is moving here with a health warning!
If you are feeling sensitive please don't read this thread as you may feel offended.... and we need a place to say what we need to say without worrying about offending people so you have been warned!!!!
This is for those of us who cope by being irreverent and silly and able to laugh at all the bad stuff. If you want to get the idea, read the last few pages of dumb things people say, I might see if I can cut and paste a few over to get us going....
In the meantime,
Sunny, you had me laughing my head off this morning with that image of you sitting there in your underwear, chocolate mouth etc!! I think it would have been hilarious if you had answered the door and invited them in.... they certainly would have needed oxygen by the time they got back down the speed they would have run away....!
Magel, how do they find us?? I live up a very steep hill in a very remote area and they made it up the hill to us too..... mind you, they were so out of breath they couldn't speak... almost felt sorry for them!
Can't remember what else we were on about as I can't see the last post anymore but lets continue here with the laughs and anyone new, feel free to join in.
Looking forward to hearing from you

Hiya
Must put people straight on the posh stuff....don't do posh very often, but love it when I do! I do love trying new foods...especially if I haven't had to cook it, and good service, so not into these drive -in Mactucky type meals.
Hils, have forwarded the meeting list to my sis, who is having a tough time at the moment. She is a teacher and having to put up with a load of shit ....so much so that she got home yeaterday and is seriously thinking of putting in her notice and emailed the deputy to say as much. Good job she is on half-term this week, and her hubby is taking her away for a few days.
Clair de Lune, hope you are enjoying those cuddles. Already missing my little man, and I saw him on Thursday......but he slept all the time. His mummy sent a little film when they got back of him 'talking'and apologising for sleeping all the time we were together. Good news is that he is now above birthweight and has been discharged by midwife. Yeah!
LM, Look out the window and you will see a bin. Jump into it! It may not be Cruton's bin, but at this point do you care....it will be going somewhere! I'm sure one of the cancer card acronyms should win you the bar of choklit!
Jan, angry people who have lost someone I can sympathise with, as that has been hubby's problem since his Dad died 17months ago. His problem was that they never had a relationship, and so he couldn't grieve in the way he thought he should. His dad was also more into his dogs than anybody else and had 3 of his dogs ashes in his coffin!!! Anyway, having your grandson to play with will soon distract you from problems.
Hope everyone's tests have gone well this week, and that Tim got his tuxedo sorted :-) Bet he'll being knocking 'em all dead with his suave looks etc. Hope W is also well enough to go.
Have lovely weekend all
Special cuddles for Ems xxx
Can't wait to read all about LM's weekend away with her school chums, could be an absolut belter!
Congrats to Annette, what wonderful news, a good bump to have! Amazing how this baby thing is catching on recently.
I think Cruton must have the best wheelie bin ever, I think you should write a book about the adventures of your wheelie bin, kids would love it!
Well I went to the hotel yesterday still feeling under the weather and dosed up with medication. By 4pm the room was all set up with Macmillan stuff and so the wives went to get ready (as women need a long time to do this) whilst us men went to the bar to watch rugby. The guiness seemed to dull the general cold symptons, but I was taking it easy, unlike my friends. In fact two of them didn't leave the bar until 6-45pm when the arrival time for guests was 7pm!!!
I did talk about Warped in my speech, and unsurprisingly it raised a laugh!
Everything went well, and the auctions raised more than we expected, but a "skirmish" broke out temporarily when one idiot who won an auction bid did not want to provide the full amount of money. I suppose for some it was a shame, for others it was added entertainment, but it couldn't take the gloss off the evening for me. The disco and bar stopped at 1am and I went to bed not long after. The next morning at breakfast I saw my mate who had done most of the work on the ball. He told me that during the night he had got lost trying to find the toilet, and that his wife had retrieved him from the corridor. That was funny enough but the fact he was in his birthday suite was hilarious!
Hope everyone had a great weekend.
Tight lines
Tim
Hi my lovely warpees....
I am very very tired and can't quite see straight and my tinitus that seems to be a post treatment bonus (not) is annoying me so not going to write much but had to nip in to say
Hoorah to Tim for speech
Horrah for me not murdering anyone... the event wasn't too bad cos of other people and nice setting and loads of nice food. She looked at our files and others got smiley faces on theirs and some got 2 smiley faces and I didn't get any at all!!!! I complained bitterly (mind you, I hadn't actually done any of the work I was meant to... played cancer card and told her I was going to do it all when in hospital!) but the car journey was dreadful. Its a long way from Kent to Wales when you are stuck in the back with 2 people you don't like talking on and on and on and on and onnnnnnnnnn
I feigned sleep at one point and swapped seats at the service station so I didn't try to throw anyone out of the car... it would have caused a sossidge incident I am sure...
Anyway, wot I really came on to say apart from hello....
HILARY HAS HER CHECK UP TOMORROW AND WE ARE ALL GOING TO CROSS ALL APPENDAGES KNOWN TO MANKIND AND SOME THAT ARE NOT OK???
GOOD LUCK HILARY AND IT HAD BETTER BE BYE BYE MR CRAB OR ONC WILL HAVE ME TO DEAL WITH.
I AM SHOUTING COS ITS IMPORTANT AND HILARY'S EARS MIGHT HAVE BLOCKED UP....
well, she didn't hear the owl hoots did she? I heard a woodpecker but no owls...
ALL the hugs to Hilary for tomorrow cos I reckon she is a tad nervous to say the least (I was a screaming psycho the night before my post treatment check up so guessing she is a bit nervous )
and all the other hugs to my fave people
Little My xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Welcome home LM, everything is crossed for Hillary for tomorrow, because we have all been there and know how you are feeling Hillary!
With all those songs you listen to, I'm surprised Mr Crab hasn't left screaming NO!NO!NO! holding his fingers in his ears.
So he must have crept away quietly before you played them.
Real Welsh cwtches,
Odin xxx
PS because LM didn't have one, why MR Crab and not MRS crab?
Hello LM!
I am knackered too so catch up properly tomorrow, but wanted to give you a Welcome Home Cwtch, and also to give Hilary a HUGE Good Luck Cwtch for tomorrow
Love to all
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Welcome home LM
The best of luck for Hilary today all things crossed for Mr Crab having packed his bags and left
Hugs to all
