Off you go then, young Binkie, up the wooden stairs to Bedfordshire - I'm sure the sandman will soon be calling to ease your troubled mind and prepare you for tomorrow's struggle!  Sweet dreams!   :-*

Cheers, threebee, keeping my eye on you, you young ferret!  Sure it won't be long before you rain on my parade!  Never been called GLORIOUS before - could quite get used to it! 

Mucho love from little cutie pie!!!   ;)

Hi Binkie - I must say that my final word was one which surprised me ... think laterally!  Don't despair though, you have found way more words than I have and I am giving up for today ... need a cold shower to wash away the beads of perspiration!

Thanks for that, Viz - I must say I surprised and surpassed myself today! 

The cap and gown must be inspiring me though I must say I am heartily sick of my bloody photo!

THIS MESSAGE IS EXCLUSIVELY AIMED AT T!!!

Good grief, missy, you are a shameless hussy!  No wonder we Brits have such a bad reputation abroad!!!  Actually, I'm jealous ... no Johnny Depp or Michael Hutchence Forumite for me to flirt with.  Come on guys .. I'm quite cute for an old biddy and flirting makes the world go round!!!  Leave it until lunch time though, I'm never at my best before mid-day!

I would jet you over with pleasure but the most I've ever won on the Lottery is £10!  I did once win a cruise to Sweden by making up witty slogans for a new brand of lager and I've also won a signed David Essex album (those were the days) so I keep my fingers crossed for a big Lottery win one day!  I've never been to the U.S. only got as far as Canada - almost snuck into Seattle but was visa-less so was classed as an 'undesirable' - story of my life!!!

V. interesting, threebee, though slightly disappointed you are not Anita Brookner.  Your new project sounds fascinating - I'll look forward to seeing the finished article on the bookshelves!  I'm sure you'll make so much money you will be able to afford to come over here and take me and T out to a v. expensive dinner - Ritz, Savoy, Connaught will do!!!  Oh, and you'd better bring Dean along with you for T - the brazen hussy!!!  ;)

I didn't know you were a writer, threebee, what do you write?  Crime novels, erotica, chick lit?  I used to write children's stories - not for publication, just for the family's amusement - and have been known to pen the odd poem or two.  You're so lucky being able to write for a living.  Perhaps I've read one of your tomes - you're not Anita Brookner (one of my favourite authors) by any chance?

I'm cute as a bag of monkeys, 3B!  Not entirely appropriate for a woman of my age, perhaps, but what the hell!  If you'd like to hire me out for private IT tuition, I will send you my vastly inflated rates!  I'm sure you must need to know the ins and outs of a database, the ups and downs of compiling a PowerPoint presentation or the numeric nuances involved in spreadsheet design!!!  I'm at your beck and call!

Oh, more tips than you can shake a stick at, 3B, but I don't come cheap - despite rumours to the contrary!  ;D

I didn't get the cap and gown for being a ****wit - and, after all, I am supposed to be an I.T. tutor who should know her way around a computer!

Giant letters are soooo primary school!  Now, moving letters are altogether more adult!

Yes, come on T, piccy please.  I used to have a pair of Kickers bedecked with hand-painted sunsets and hearts (yes, I was a hippy at heart).  By the way, I see you are flying up the scoreboard like the proverbial ferret today - I know your game, missy, trying to show off to Dean - flirty, Gertie!!!  ;)

T - I'm supposed to be working at moment but have a particularly docile set of students who are diligently working away without the aid of my vast knowledge!!!   Great minds, indeed, I'm sure we have got a lot in common as I sense a kindred spirit - naughty, but nice!  Wot a larf we could have!!!  Must flee - the smelly student is raising his ugly head and looking blankly and hopefully in my direction!  Ciao.

Don't know which category the following should go in but thought you might find it amusing.  I used it as part of my essay on the English language and my argument that spelling was v important!!!

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabridge Uinervtisy, it deosn’t

mttaer in what oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt

tihng is that the frist and lsat ltteer is in the rghit pclae.  The rset

can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it wouthit a porbelm. 

This is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by

istlef, but the word as a wlohe.

What do you think?
