You must watch Peppa Pig! one of the best programs on TV (edward elephant is such a clever clogs)

I couldn't watch last night Cinds, It's been getting tougher as it goes on and after the strawberries etc I'm giving a miss until after it's happened

I'm an adult who HAS to watch peppa pig and it get annoying as hell really quick

Peppa Pig switched on the Belfast Christmas lights 

The crowd was quite pi**ed off apparently

Not even a zeleb! Just someone in a pig suit. Times are hard 

Sad times  

 

Definitely not worthy of its own thread - but:

Did anyone realise that 

FINSBURYPARK backwards

is

KRAPYRUBSNIF

 

You learn something every day.....

 I'm glad I know that now.  Loving the name BTW

Jen that's very good.

 

While I'm here, did anyone watch Dolphins - Spy in the Pod?  We had recorded it and got around to watching it yesterday.  I thought it was brilliant.  Loved the bit where they were passing around the puffer to seemingly get high. 

 

ETA a clip I found.

 

I saw a bit of that Cinds, it was fascinating!  

 

ION:  I've just had the flu jab and it's my first time getting it.....I've heard lots of stories about people becoming quite ill (flu-like symptoms) after getting it.  Am I going to get sick?  Coz I am probably the WORST sick person ever.  I will cry to anyone and everyone (including you lot) if I even have a cold.

 @ Jen - thats very clever  Rick Astley gets everywhere!

I was fine after getting mine, except for a slightly sore arm for a couple of days.

That's good Yogi, I don't think people around me would be happy if I got sick

I've been out tonight and ended up having a very funny conversation with Simon Donald. (The Viz man).

 

I got my one and only flu jab when I was 20, and I was ill for ages with really awful flu symptoms but never a full flu.

Oh God Cinds that doesn't sound nice at all.  It seems people respond very differently to it.  My eldest gets it every year and there's been 2 or 3 years he's been quite sick about a week or so after the jag but my Dad is always fine after his.  How long did it take you to get sick?

 

I was a little worried to be honest, I'm in the very early stages of pregnancy and don't want to be getting really sick because of it although I know it was given to prevent me getting sick.  

 

I shouldn't even have said that but I just can't keep it to myself  It's way too early to be telling people but you lot in here aren't going to see me in r/l and spill the beans to anyone

Oh you, my most sincerest congratulations. 

 

Massive smiles from me for you here.

Ells, I'm thrilled to bits for you, news of a new baby is just lovely.  From my heart, congratulations.  

 

I know now what you mean about the not telling people, but it's bursting out news.

Just bought the new VIZ today Cinds. I thought about your lot when I read the Syd the Sexist sector. Only up to letterbocks. I laughed so much at the Paul Flowers letter I have had to put the magazine aside.

I won't tell anyone Ells..!

Huge congrats to you 

Thanks  As I say, very early days but keeping it secret in r/l is torture so I'm blabbing here  

You might as well make a fred about it cos you know peeps are gonna pick up on this doncha!  

Congratulations Ells!!!  Really wonderful news 

WHAT? Are you saying I'm like Sid the Sexist, or am I a your lot 'fat slag' 

Noooo Sprout  I'll keep it in here for now with the randomers.  It's just random news.  Not thread worthy until I am able to bore you all to death with baby pictures

 

Thanks Rog

@cinds the STS strip was about parachuting. I would never liken you to TFS for as far as I  know you never did Baz (the cartoon character, not our FM) on a mobility scootah.

I disagree, a pregnancy is very thread worthy. Still smiling for you. 

Haha, I know.

Well, we'll keep it in here for now until after the midwife app and once I know everything is good

 

I'm verrrrry excited.  It's gonny be a long few months but I can't wait!

 

Anyway, I'm off now to bed so thanks for all the congrats and good night xxx

Goodnight Ells me dear  And many many congratulations again!  

 

Aww Ells, many congratulations on your good news. You'll never be able to bore me with baby talk, so feel free to give us lots of updates.

Ells, that is brilliant news. Ridiculous I know, but that has got my weekend off to a lovely, smiley start

Aw Ells... that's great news - thanks for letting us in on the secret!   

Ells! Congratz Mrs, I'm so happy for you and i look forward to seeing those baby pics

Great news Ells
