@admin, you can tell I have been hanging out with a Canadian. 🙂

I wish I could sew but can not
My children want supper, what rot!

What about a hanging charging pocket like this: http://www.positivelysplendid.com/2014/06/diy-fabric-phone-charging-station.html

Ah, I see we have a Limerick newbie who’s not familiar with the form. Here’s a sciencey example:

There once was a young lady named bright
Whose speed was much faster than light

Hey, I’m a Keymaster?!? What the heck is that?!?

HAHA! That is hilarious! I remember having a hard time when I first went to London trying to get some uneaten food packed up at a restaurant. I asked to have it to go, then asked for carry out.

@dubhels2003 – you’ve just reminded me of a funny story that happened to my brother – he and his girlfriend were backpacking around England – it was freezing, so they went into a shop selling clothes/woolly things and asked for a ‘beanie’ – the little old lady was most taken aback and insisted they had the wrong shop, and they needed one further…[Read more]
