Family Leg Ends

[Pastis]

Maiden Aunt #2, commenting on her driving across the end of an RAF runway (lights were on red and ignored) and having a jet take off a few feet from the roof of her car, causing near fatal heart attacks to her passengers.

"I've written to the Air Ministry. The pilot should have stopped, I had right of way and those lights have never worked."

Valley Airfield, Anglesey, c. 1963, I think

And your ancestors. Are they related to you?

[Pastis]

Sadly and inevitably, yes 






<<<<<   Which is why sometimes, I almost feel like letting go!

Rear Window is a far better film IMHO

Rear Window is a far better film IMHO

Agreed. However I didn't feel a pic of James Stewart, feet up, leg in plaster, gazing out of the window etc etc...

Triggered by Snoopys "Dinner Tonight" latest:

A friend's mum (Spanish) often had problems with English. Corn on the Cob was delivered as Cob on the Knob

She also referred the chairman of ISIHAC as Little Humphreyton

My Grandmother, after a large meal used to say she was full to the wax. 

[Snoopy]

Mine always used to say that she'd "Had an elegant sufficiency" ~ which my lil Bruv and I changed to "Elephant Sufficiency"

[Darwins Selection]

Any Uncle used to say "Mad as a March hare, in March"

[Nick]

Of whom?

[Darwins Selection]

Of whom?

All of us (not simultaneously of course)

[barmisspah?]

Red hat no drawers, as my Gran was oft to say about someone who was 'no better than she should be'.

[Snoopy]

  "All fur coat and no knickers" was another used in similar circs.

and "Whores Drawers" to describe Austrian Blinds
