I was never a 'hippy' either! Plus people, including my hubby believe I like the colour purple? I don't, I like black/dusky pinks. As for my user name, I didn't think about it when joining, but everyone calls me 'Ger' or 'Geri'.

haha I dont HAVE a bike at the mo, had to sell it a few months back cause I was broke broke my heart it did, I now feel like I have had my legs chopped off, especially in THIS weather, when I am out with my OH in her car I keep swearing everytime I see someone on a bike, cause I am jealous, determined to get another asap though...think I fancy a trike next though,
anyway things to do etc, or I wont ever earn enough money for one,

Aww, sorry hippy. But good luck in all you do or want, birthday boy!

Was she called Lydia? I thought she had a weird name.

There are quite strict divides where I live. I have never seen 'Lydia'. Maybe I should look her up.

Its a song...have you never seen High Society?

Theres a kid In that film sings a vbit but Groucho marx sang it originally...

Oh Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia? Lydia the Tattooed Lady. She has eyes that folks adore so, and a torso even more so. Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia. Oh Lydia the queen of tattoo. On her back is The Battle of Waterloo. Beside it, The Wreck of the Hesperus, too. And proudly above waves the red, white, and blue. You can learn a lot from Lydia! La-la-la...la-la-la. La-la-la...la-la-la.
