Wow, interesting list, thanks for joining in Kees.
... and no, a lettuce does not constitute an iceberg LOL :]
.. and an OXO cube... There could only be one eh!
It was a damn good OXO cube. I so should have won :)
I think you'll find it was She-ra rather than Wonderwoman
I'm completely exhausted after reading that list. whew!
I love this list, it took my hours to go through though, because after every point, it because a group discussion amongst those reading. But now, everyone's a fan! Thanks for the link.
YOU LOSERS HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS! GET A PROPER JOB. HA HA. I'M OFF TO THEATRE NOW TO SAVE SOME LIVES. PUT THAT ON YOUR LIST AND SMOKE IT.
Yeah you're probably right there mum, I was totally obsessed with He-Man and She-Ra. Are they superheros though?
How do you think I feel Barbara! Some things I was sure I must have done at some point but couldn't remember specific occassions!!! Going senile :)
Cool! Always happy to kick off a good group discussion :D
151. Had a hateful sister - yep
You're just jealous because you no longer have ANY SPARE TIME AT ALL!!!! Hahahahaha!!! Get back to work.
I didn't want to say anything but, DR. GEMMA HAS DEVELOPED AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM EVER SINCE SHE GRADUATED. Now put that one in your pipe and smoke it, love. x
Yeah you knows it vet. She's just gutted she doesn't have our incredible foresight. Who'd want a proper job when you can slug your guts out in a lab for little recognition and no money?
Heeheee! Great list! I especially like the one about the drunk friend under the bridge.
I can really relate to 146, I have dyed my hair more times that I care to remember. ....bleaching it as well, which can be really scary!!
Yeah the bleach thing was really scary and quite a huge mistake. It was really short at the time and it went BRIGHT yellow. Not a good look :{
