13. Eating food that is Blue or Silver (Wrong.)
ReplyDelete14. Long, loud mobile-phone conversations in book shops and supermarkets about one's social life (Infuriating.)
I could go on... Run with it, Coffee Lady!
(And yet I am conflicted about #5. What self-respecting Magpie would dislike glitter??)
P.S. Have a lovely getaway...
ReplyDeleteno 4 - oh dear MrsM you've obviously met Mr Bebbs - he of the highly patterned board shorts even in deepest winter - one of the girls from rugby described him to her father as 'the dude with the loud shorts' Personally I feel it's probably evidence of a mid-life crisis but I'm happy to go along with it as it's far less expensive than a sports car or a mistress :o) plus it embarasses the kids so it can't be all bad! This also is the same man who pushes the trolley through the supermarket carpark and jumps on for the ride - some men never grow up!
ReplyDeleteRe: No. 2
ReplyDeleteIs very dark purple acceptable? I hope so...
Too true. Can we add men (or anyone really) in flip flops in winter to number four? K x
ReplyDeleteRe number 2 - or very dark red (black)??!
ReplyDelete15. Easter decorations going on sale in January (insane).
I like that!
ReplyDeleteYou saw the true me - the cantankerous, judging old lady.
ReplyDeleteI am deeply moved.
no.2 ... or gunpowder? ahem ...
ReplyDeleteHave fun wherever you're headed.
Paola
you.are.a.riot!
ReplyDeleteWhilst I agree with most of these sentiments do I detect a possible guest appearance on "Grumpy Old Women"... not that I'm suggesting you are grumpy... or old...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break!
I hate it when people wear those cell phone ear peices and walk around talking. I always think they are talking to me.
ReplyDeleteI might be a number 9....
ReplyDelete(and a number 2 if you are ruling out ALL non red spectrum colours in the mix...)
Checking your text messages in my company.
ReplyDeleteAnswering your mobile phone in my company.
I am not boring.
I don't do it to you.
We all had a life before mobile phones.
Has it all become too much, and have you run off to join that circus????
ReplyDeleteI've heard academic gentlemen sometimes have exposed knees in the winter. I have witnessed it. Hawaiian shorts are often favoured. Perhaps deep thought is hampered by warm knees. Is this true MrM?
ReplyDeleteI wear Rouge Noir on my toenails - is that allowed?
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely break.
My mother always told me I shouldn't eat in the street, but I have never seen the plastic box hedging - you have almost made me want some!

Can I add cycling on the pavement - particularly when it's adjacent to a cycle lane. Makes my hike to the station each morning particularly perilous. And makes me grumpy, even before I've got to work!
