Hi Weeding/Lincslass ...
I'm devising a new plants quiz for GoY ...
I usually make a couple of puzzles each winter ...
... so here's the shout you asked for ...
... I'll put the puzzle in a blog very soon ... :o)

28 Dec, 2010

you are so clever BA
but im not clever enough to work out beatties code.
4 Jan, 2011
Could it be: laugh out loud, roll over the floor laughing and roll over the floor laughing my head off!
There are ruder versions apparently, not that I would know . . . . . : o)))
4 Jan, 2011
i think you could be right shirley. i dont know about the rude ones ~ i can only imagine!
would that be a bit like having a CRAFT moment?
4 Jan, 2011
Not heard of that one!
4 Jan, 2011
Can't Remember A 'Flipping' Thing.
rather better than a senior or blonde moment i think!
4 Jan, 2011
You're right Shirley! I changed ROFLMAO to something more suitable for GoY-ers who are all respectable ladies and gentlemen, by definition. ;-)
4 Jan, 2011
LOL, Beattie!
4 Jan, 2011
thats right beattie ~ we are very respectable, if not respectful!!!
