In answer to the alt Q
I sincerely hope that a programme quietly weeding out any member of population who uses the word 'simples' or 'creeper' is soon introduced

Didn't we used to just say 'creep'?

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 11:18, Reply)

Indeed
But the Youf of today wanted their own word I suppose. Or they're all a bit dim and say "err" at the end of every sentence.

I've been very busy of late, really ought to get some Christmas shopping done...
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 11:48, Reply)

yeah, am there now and having some success with stuff
it's pretty laid back as well which is good and it means that I'm more focussed when I'm back in my office.

I need to get some christmas shopping done as well. Got a number of things to buy for my mrs. No one else is getting any presents which makes life easier.

I've already sorted my mates here with gifts
Thanks to the addictaballs link Gonz posted up last week. I know what to get the parents and sister, just need to get to some shops.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 11:52, Reply)

what did you decide to buy her in the end?
did you go for the stocking idea?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 11:55, Reply)

the stocking idea was what I had in mind to start with
just didn't know what to put in it.

so far I've got an Addictaball (thanks gonz) and a plan to buy her some designer pants, if I can find some appropriate ones. Rachel has sent me a long list of makeup tips for her and some recommendations, similar to the stuff you recommended. She also recommended a makeup book, but I can't find it cheap enough unfortunately.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 11:59, Reply)

do you know the designer type you want?

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 12:11, Reply)

I was going to get her some CK ones, but the ones I had my eye on are apparently stupid size
Large equating to size 6-8. which is silly.

I'd appreciate recommendations though. Not looking for lacy type things as she has loads of those, but some really nice everyday type ones.

I have heard the youth
use it. It's an Americanism denoting someone who is creepy or a bit weird. They're a 'creeper.' It's crawled over here slowly, heard someone use it on the bus the other day

ahh monty
i am going to take away your question mark key if you are going to abuse it... i'll hide it in my bra, you'll have to come and take it if you want it back. (you might find several other victims who got lost in there too.)

you and your exclamation mark habit are fine ones to talk.

firstly i was being ironic
secondly i was just hoping monty would take the bait and come and rummage in my bra. i'm only human.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 11:45, Reply)

Really? "Rummage"?

( Kroney, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 11:47, Reply)

it would still demonstrate more finesse than i have experienced in the past
then again, so would "blowtorching" and "butcher-hacking".
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 11:51, Reply)

Even so, I'd have thought that a word expressing some sort of tittilation
rather than one that expressed some sort of lost sock.

Still, who am I to judge?
( Kroney, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 11:55, Reply)

Arcane is a great word.

Roota probably uses it when telling her little nephew/cousin bible stories.
