Excellent, Amy - one of your best. But, why did you type "well" into Google, though, in the first place? Did you mean a well as in where you got water from? or the condition you are in at the moment? or perhaps merely a sort of "Well, well!" - i.e a token of surprise. ...... and what exactly was the "that" with which Google came up?blondie95 wrote:well when typed into google the came up with that!

Really? I was always under the impression that women themselves were usually a little uncertain what they meant - so how are we - mere males - supposed to know the meaning of anything they say for certain. Surely gracious lips were meant to be kissed rather than believed.Ruthie-Baby wrote:Oh DBTS, leave her alone, we know what she meant...

I prefer your spelling, Amy - it is much more individualistic and characterfulblondie95 wrote:really DBTS! I know exactly what I mean, everyone else may not but oh well!
Whilst on subject of my bad spelling, the new edition of Firefox web browser has automatic spell checker it marks all i have spelt wrong-but i have to decide if i want to correct it or not!

This is a complaint usually levelled at men.
btw, I'm surprised JR didn't spot this one ....

Probably men. though.
I just LOVED Jimmy Carr's joke on his stand-up show on Channel 4 last night.
