But she's sat here with me as i post this...

Smorgs, with todays technology, I would think the word you are looking for is "redundant", as opposed to extinct.

oh good!

I just turned my head, and the banana on my bookshelf hasn't disappeared.

I'm planning on saving it for tomorrow, with some raisin bran.

I once had a Greek Waiter show how good he was at English, by reciting the following....

"Ee bye gum, stick it up yer bum". He also knew "Luvverly jubbly", and several phrases I wouldn't dare repeat. WONDERFUL!

How old am I?......As my Mancunian nan would say "I'm as old as my tongue, and a little bit older than my teeth"

....I'll find you the appropriate link....

I wish I had a clematis, life would be SO much more fun. One thing I'd do, is have the washing machine on permanent spin cycle.
