I had a friend called Laura, and EVERYONE used to sing "Tell Laura I love her......" it drove her NUTS!!! :wah:
(Especially on the "Tell Laura not to cry" bit!) :wah:

Iron Ass--My best friend's younger brother pinched my butt as I was climbing the ladder to the high dive at the pool. He looked at my other friend and said, "You have a nice butt, but Peg has an iron butt." My friends thought it was hysterical and the name kind of stuck. Oh for buns of steel now!:(

Have you ever seen the Fast Show? There was an interesting 70's throwback character on there who was obsessed with his crappy band called Creme Brulee..
Oh, I want to check out "Netflix" Looks like our "70's Show" over here.
I just finished watching season 1 of coupling, should I continue on? The first few were great and then it started getting stupid, does it get better or as good the next few years?:-2

I met a guy called "Kiwi". I asked if it was because he was from New Zealand and he said no, it was because he once ate a tin of Kiwi shoe polish

The guys at work started calling a colleauge "Johnny One Pump". When I asked why, I was asked "Why do you think?"
I said "Is it because he's lost one of his plimsolls?"
Unfortunately, it was how long he lasted according to one of the girls he took home. I thought "Poor Bugger" would have been more suitable

Lol Helefra! It's a long and silly story that would bore your socks off!
(It involved a hat and giggly schoolgirls!)
Being a Mel, my family often call me Mellie and my brother's name is Martyn,
so we get shortened to Smellie Mellie and Farty Marty.
