G'day thermie lovers!

OH yes. It was a big oversized thing and I just told a bunch of lies. No sweat off my nose. The two priests  came several times and we all drank a lot of red wine.

I remember one of the priests was named Father Sobb now dead. The name was apt. Old soak he was.

It was a learning curve ok.

I wonder where that big ol' book is now Gert. can you imagine the stories (lies) it is filled with!!??

Ah yes and I can imagine the old fella's being a bit partial to the odd bucket glass of red.

Oh yes Nikkit on both points.

What I did not say before and to add insult to injury my first class ticket to Australia was a heavily discounted staff travel ticket which cost him about nothing!

Gert you made me laugh, Yes it would be true.

welcome Lea to the forum.

A testament to  how naive I was as a  19 year old virgin in the early sixties.  There are probably not too many of those these days.

Love that story Gert.  I don't think there is anything that the forum-mix family haven't been through.

[gertbysea]

Well with over 10,000 member here.......Damon Runyon eat your heart out.

You made me lol too Gert. Never a dull moment here. Love it.
Hi lea and welcome. There's lots of recipes here and lots of chit chat too.

[Katiej]

Hi Lea and welcome.

Hilarious Gert!

[Nikkit]

Doesn't matter Gert - you got out alive, and in first class!

Lea - we do get a little side tracked on the odd occasion, but never mind...always a laugh to be had in here 

[gertbysea]

Too right Nikkit we get sidetracked but then not everyone visits every thread and we are all such friends that  we don't mind if someone highjacks our thread now and then. You definitely need a sense of humour, open mind and realise this is not only a thermo lovers forum but is about food and support not only in cooking but in the everyday humdrum things of life.

We are a community or family of sorts, all sorts really. We sometimes  disagree but we appreciate and respect each other. No nastiness here. Sometimes we push the limits with the moderators but hey that is their job eh. ROFLMAO!

Occasionally we get the odd bod wanting to criticise or stir up trouble but they are soon put in their place and are on their way.

It is a fun place to be.

I loved your story Gert.
Isn't that what we are paid for?  Oh! It's a love job isn't it?  We enjoy ourselves too, believe me.

[LeaW21]

Lmao Gert! What a story!

[Nikkit]

What was it that Forrest Gump said ...

"life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get next"  (or something along those lines - it has been a while since I watched the movie!)

Bit like this forum, you never know what you are going to read next.

Hence I keep a box of tissues close handy for those times when someone (GERT!) makes me spit out my cuppa all over the screen!

Welcome to the forum Lea.

Well Gert, what can I say - just love your stories!!!!
