Ever so slightly confused...

Post by Eruresto »

I've noticed on a couple of topics people discussing Fiona Bruce. Is she an OB or something???

I think Exams are addling my brain.

That's quite enough of your own fetishistic predelictions, jt - there may be children present! Is this what Leigh-Hunt did to you? There always was a lot of butter in the boarding houses during the 80s. Slabs of Krona iirc.

Butter!

Post by Angela Woodford »

How deeply intuitive of you cj!

Suddenly a whole illuminating ray of light is cast over memories of Hertford. Because we had only half a crinkle-cut pat of marge at breakfast + one whole crinkle-cut pat of butter at tea time.

Thinks! Thinks! Thinks!

No-one has answered Josh's question.

Marty has a 'thing' for Ms Bruce and referring to her has become the running joke.

Dave, the 'lady' holding her child is cj's stepdaughter holding her (cj's) daughter I believe.

And, to make matters worse, THEY (the sadictive they) sometimes mixed the breakfast marge with cod liver oil 'for our benefit' :( :(

Indeed, Miss Bruce (is she unmarried?) is the apple of Marty's eyes...

But this is why I'm not coming to Old Blues Day - you'd all be so disappointed that I wasn't a 12 year old!! I think I might change my avatar ...

Marty and I are the Official Fiona Bruce Appreciation Society Secretaries, Josh. I'll explain more if and when we meet on Sunday !

Incidently, she IS married but has a very understanding husband !

Nooooo!!! Don't mention that man, JR - you know how he upsets me.

Fiona will be mine.
My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We’ll see about that.
