We really have gone off the socks subject!

If people are mean about socks, MTS, then it is no wonder people are talking about different things! I'm trying to get back to this wonderful wooly topic.

& socks tomorrow! Yipee!

we love socks josephine!!!

Hi all. I've been away too long. Too much to catch up on all the threads!

Socks! You know it's been so cold here in the low 60s and blustery winds that I actually had to put on socks yesterday! Opened my sock drawer and rediscovered my sheep socks! Although they're not socks. Maybe I'll draw some with a permanent marker on a pair of white socks.

Fish, you got Christmas socks with toes? How fun! Are you wearing them now?

Cinders, I wonder if the original pair of rabbits were set loose by the same villager who let go of those peacocks.

Here, we have a problem with wild pigs. They tear up the roots of endangered plants with their snouts

sounds like a fairy tale gone WRONG!

WOW! So the peacocks have been fruitful and have multiplied! I wonder what all the foxes, buzzards, deer, rabbits, etc. think about their new companions in their eco-system. Clearly most of the humans find them irritating at best.

Okay,this is my third try and you people had better behave. I've been banned twice for offences that weren't even my fault,some other little brat was the real culprit and he framed me just for spite and to avoid getting in trouble himself. Any offensive comments made on this account are probably my bratty little brother's fault and never mine,as we both have the same account. But if he should bother you,like say,call you something like "Jerk",you let me know and I'll try to "fix" Him. Okay????

Atta Girl,Joesphine,you tell that little Mark the Shark brat what's comming to him if he can't behave himself

Excuse me, Cybergurl!!!???

Mark the Shark is my FRIEND,BUDDY, CHUM - see where I'm going?
Being a FRIEND is an idea I think you are struggling to get to grips with!

Have you heard of the term "three strikes and you're out" ?

Cinders1 - A BIG WELCOME TO THE & SOCK LOVERS CLUB!

And may your tootsies be forever warm and snug!

Mark The Shark - I wore my & socks today to cheer me up!

SOCKS ROCK!

squigly - the permanent marker pen is a great idea to cheer up plain socks. Get some crazy socks to cheer you up during these cold spells.

cinders1 - another job for the Bunvac 2000! And peacocks and peahens are causing a prob? They are real show-offs, aren't they? P'raps yourself and conty could film them for a soap opera and call them Gavin and Captain? You could provide their voices...

I'm waiting for the tumbleweed to pass before I come back with better suggestions...

Cybergurl, were you by any chance banned for calling people names, making threats, and other unkindnesses? I consider Mark the shark to be a friend, - and he is a friend to many other people on this website. Please do us all the courtesy of of behaving well yourself.

Fish, Cybergurl is (or was) Secretagent, who was the banned member (not band member) formerly known as Springwizard. (See official notice on Mark's "Names for Characters" thread in Arts, Crafts & Cookery). So, now do you understand the behavior?

Cybergurl, you misinterpreted Josephine's comment about people being mean about socks. She was referring to your rude message on page 4. She would never insult Mark (or anyone else for that matter) because he is a nice person and a friend to a lot of people in this forum. If it is your brother who is being rude instead of you, why don't you change your password and not share it with him and prove to us that you can be a nice person too?

Thank you, as ever, Fish and squigly, for your support and setting the record straight on this matter.

I thought the tone of Cybergurl's messages was familiar...

Springwizard, Secretagent, Cybergurl - or whatever you want to call yourself - We are asking you nicely to get a grip on your appauling attitude and go and be nasty to someone else!

Excuse me. I don't believe Springwizard has come back to annoy me again. I appreciate everything you have said about me Josephine, Fish, Squigly. Oh, and Josephine, I hope ye enjoyed wearing your andsocks!

Hey Mark the shark!

Heya, Fish! I was just about to open this thread and say, Katie/RichD, if you do see this thread and see what Cybergurl has wrote, can you please not lock this thread. It has brought out so much happiness and enthusiam and laughter (as all of Josephine's threads do) and it would be a shame if it was locked.

GREETINGS, SOCK LOVERS!

Mark The Shark - I enjoyed wearing my & socks very much indeed, thank you! They were green with just their faces on the side. I'm wearing another pair of them tomorrow night when I meet up with a bunch of comedians. I can even flash my socks!!!!
Tee Hee!

Also, I agree that it would be a shame to put a lock on this topic of discussion because of the actions of rude people. P'raps RichD (isn't that a biscuit? Oh,no! I'm getting mixed up with Rich Tea! Soz, Rich!) and Katie have the right to edit or remove the offending messages without killing the fun. In the meantime - WEAR YOUR SOCKS WITH PRIDE!!!!

PLEASE don't lock this thread! I love this thread and it really is tied not just to socks, but to W&G and mintballs and all sorts of magnificent things!

josephine, so your going to be doing some feet flashing tonight, you go girl!!!!! ave a good time tonight, id love to be a fly on the wall with you and a room full of comedians, i bet its alot of fun

Me too!

Sorry Josephine,my bad. You are right,this IS my third account and I should be more carefull next time. I had no idea you two were best friends. So how was your day?

As well as could be expected!!!!!

conty!!!! I can't sleep because I am still excited about being in the same room as comedians. My ribs are sore from laughing so much!

I'll give you a clue as to who was there:

The guy from The Royle Family who quotes his posterior when he's not happy about something...

AND...

A legend (or is he a leg-end? You decide!) who, for half a century, has re-christened a feather duster into an instrument of mirth.

Mintballs for the correct answers!

wow josephine!!!! i bet it was a good night, i love comedy and a good laugh, your not a comedy writer per chance? you always make me and mum laughdid you flash yer socks

Sock-eye, you must have fit right in with all those comedians! Did anyone notice your and sock-os?

Conty, did you guess the answers? Do I hear some mintballs swooshing by?

as conty said wow, yes we guessed who was there, the first one always makes me laugh, but im no so keen on the second one, though i know hes loved by millions

Who was there? I can't wait to hear!

Well, first off, it was sooooooo cold on the way to Liverpool that I was frozen stiff...I had to keep the guys warm, you know - W&G on my feet! I could even hear 's teeth chatter!

The warmth of the people and the atmosphere in the pub more than made up for the cold weather outside. It was a musician friend of mine who held a little get-together and buffet to say a big "TA VERY MUCH!" to all his mates and his record company for helping him in his music career - and it was packed with what I would call Liverpool entertainment royalty like Gerry Marsden (from Gerry and the Pacemakers - your rocking and rolling parents/grandparents will know him, cinders1 and conty!), Jimmy McGovern (who wrote The Street and Cracker etc.), Ken Dodd and others who melted into the happy crowd. My mate's record company people were also there as was BBC Radio Merseyside and others - it was a brilliant night!

I got to shake hands with Ken Dodd - he was on form and looking great, considering he had an operation recently. His wit is razor sharp! When he walked through the door, a huge cheer errupted, even thought you couldn't see his head for the Russian-style hat he was wearing!

I could not get near Ricky Tomlinson, though, but he's the sort of person who only has to laugh and you are in stitches instantly! He came up from London to Liverpool just to be there...he's not one to miss a good gig! What a guy! He was not short of anyone to talk to last night!

(by the way, I thought I heard the whoosh! of mintballs - hope you found them tasty! )

I shook hands with Gerry Marsden - in fact, there were no airs, graces or any of that business there. It was a real family atmosphere and my ribs literally ached with all the Scouse banter that was fired like bullets! I could listen to it until the cows come home...

I wouldn't have missed it for the world!
& were content that they were in the presence of legends. They helped themselves to the scran and left crumbs all over my trousers... even stuffed his doggy bag!

squigly - I felt that all my Christmasses have come at once!

Cool!

sock-eye...glad you had a fantastic time mingling with legends. I can hear you smiling and grinning all the way over here!

Did Wallace have his fill of ch-ch-ch-eeeeeessssse?

squigly! It was BRILLIANT!

couldn't get enough of the cheese, although he was quite taken with the chunky chips...

thought the flaming wings were hot, hot, hot!

a good time was had by all!

Cinders1 and Conty - I'm not a comedy writer BUT I occasionally have my moments.

Great comedy comes from a team of writers like Galton and Simpson and the guys who wrote Dad's Army and Are You Being Served? That sort of thing. David Renwick (One Foot In The Grave, Jonathan Creek), Roy Clarke (Last of the Summer Wine, Keeping Up Appearances, Open All Hours) and David Sullivan (Just Good Friends, Only Fools and Horses) are exceptions to the rule as they are the only credited writers to go it alone. I'm not fit to lick their lollipops - but I love learning from them!

By the way, squigly, how are the mondegreens (on another thread, of course!)?

Ooops! I missed out Carla Lane (Butterflies, The Liver Birds, Bread).

Yours preferably NOT on a piece of garlic bread

Sock Eye Salmon

What a wonderful time you had on land, Sock Eye! Time for a swim!

Today I wore my grey Shaun socks. They aren't the ones that say "aren't I stylish" - but I felt stylish just the same!

What are mintballs some kinda candy?Oompa Loompa Dooby dee dum! Aw,never mind.

sounds like you had a fantastic time josephine

I did, thank you, cinders! I'm not off cloud nine yet...and I'm nursing my sore ribs from all the laughing!

I hope there will be another get-together in the not-too-distant future and, of course, you'll ALL be the first to know when it does!

Fish - ANYTHING with W&G or is really stylish! These socks should be on the dog-walk (instead of a cat walk). I also wish that there was a range of & tights to wear with a decent skirt. OK, I better stick with comfy, cosy, wooly, mega trendy SOCKS!!!!!

Cybergurl1 - you are correct!

sock-eye, & tights sounds like something fun to wear!

I don't remember mentioning my gender, squigly. We are not supposed to give out details....so I'm fairly sure I haven't given that information out.

Sorry about that. Excuse me for the assumption!

I can neither confirm nor deny that, squigly! Rules is rules!

I totally understand. No one knows squigly either.

wow josephine mum was just telling me about your night out!! what a great evening, i love it when i laugh so much my ribs ache, lee evans does that to me, i love taking him off, my mates cry with laughter have you ever met him?

Me too.

Where'd everybody go???? Am I swimming alone here?

I wore my punk style Hello Kitty socks today. I like them almost as much as my W&G Were Rabbit socks....but not quite.

i was reading your post about all the snow your having fish so i guess youll be needing your warm termal socks now

Definitely, Conty! Unfortunately none of my W&G socks are thermal. So maybe for the next film they could produce some thermal socks in the new W&G socks for Trouble At' Mill.

Hey, Fish! You ain't alone now! Here I come. Make way for a tidal wave! YAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! SPLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
