Stumbling over words

I had an eye test yesterday. During the usual bout of questions and answers, I told the optician that twenty years ago,

'I suffered a braumatic train injury'

Even I had to work out what the hell that is :)

Aah, asphasia, pain in the arse but occasionally amusing.

Good day all,

Must admit I couldnt work out whhy you had put post on........went back and reread it DEEEERRRRR!!!!

I agree its great when it happens. Even better when you invent new words that sound better than the actual ones.

Keep up the confusion Pax.

Ha ha! Lol. I was up before the crack o sparrows today, again, so at first I thought it was me...

Many thanks Baron for starting my day with a smile, yes it's almost lunchtime but after getting up at 3am I dozed off at half nine and was just getting the compulsion to get up and do something!

Lol ! Definately derailed : ))

I recently invented ' stebble' - that's a cross between a stone and a pebble ! I decided I like it so much I'm keeping it in my BI dictionary : ) x

Hi Andy or should I say "Caron". Didn't realise you were an Arthur and a Martha haha, I jest :).

I enjoy reading your posts... Sometimes when I am in the right mood.

Your history of Lincoln posts, they started out good and then I got bored haha. Sorry, history is not much of a strong point for me.

But I like the way you add humour in your writing, that is a good thing you've got there :).

I just wanna add, the caricature style picture of you and your family I drew, I still have it. I was not mad at you for not buying it or anything and I didn't tear it up or throw it away.

I kept hold of it. It is another picture to add to my portfolio :).

And, if you ever decide to change your mind and buy that picture, it's here waiting :).

Take care,

MJ
