Allotments 4 All

Hey Paranoid thats another one of mine "I can't"  - there is no such word and everyone CAN if they believe they CAN and put a little hard work and effort into it!!!!!

I can't fly on my own.
I can't turn myself invisible.

Go on - disprove me  :)

Strong believe in the 'I can...' mentallity - that is what it says on my classroom door but you have to concede that some things are impossible and cannot be done.

I can't lick my own elbow!  ;D

Trust you Clanger :)

Think I've lost his one  :(

Or maybe one day I CAN disprove you ;)

AND next year I will probably be saying "I can't grow bl***y veg ;D"

EJ - my daughter can lick her own elbow, and I'm not kidding, its the freakiest thing I've ever seen!!!!

true. i cannot disprove you clanger. HOWEVER some people do say it too often. who is to say we cant in a few years? i can turn myself invisible... no seriously can anyone see me????

Oh but you CAN Lorna I know you CAN!!!!! ;D

Delililah Was only kidding. I do like a challenge ;D

how could we possible go wrong with all the advice on offer on A4A ;D ;D ;D ;D

Redclanger,you can atleast try! 

Take flying lessons you could eventually be flying on your own.

Throw a sicky,you'll be invisible at school!   

Thinking about it,in the world of espionage don't people have to be invisible?

I spit the f word when I come across a car on the path and litter the owner with rude words under my breath hee hee!           

You'd have fun on my road then.

All cars have to park on the pavement on just one side (garages on other) as the road is too narrow for other cars to get down if they don't.  Folk walk down the road's middle.  If they ever enforce parking rules, we'd all have to move as things like fire engines or ambulances wouldn't be able to reach anyone.  I'm one of the lucky ones - have garage.  But even that would be impossible to get in if there was a car parked properly opposite. I rely on them being tucked up on the path.  Whoever designed our road was barking mad.  Probably related to the people who design ladies loos too narrow so we have to sit on the bins...

Hey Paranoid!! See, I can see you!! My Grandad could touch the end of his nose with his tongue...am so glad I didn't inherit the nose...bless him!
Lottie  ;D

Our road is similar moonbells.  I live in a Edwardian terraced cul de sac (actually it's not that posh so its really just a dead end).  No garages, dense housing.  We all park with our cars up the kerb on both sides of the road.  That way you can fit a car down the middle.  It's theonly way of parking here and the authorities recognise that so do not persecute us for our rather minor breach of road traffic law.

Now I can't lick my elbow - seriously - I tried. But I can touch my wrist with the thumb on that hand.

I was going to get started listing my pet hates, but it went on forever, so I'll just say, in addition to most of those above... commuting. London commuters are probably the most selfish bunch of rude unmentionables I have ever had the displeasure of getting barged into by. I'm sure there are some nice ones, but on the whole they are horrid. barging, spitting, smoking where they shouldn't, not answering mobile phones for ages so you have to listen to annoying ring tones, having the most innane conversations on mobile phones really loudly, blocking stairs/passageways, shoving bags into others, shoving armpits into others, coughing without covering mouth, chewing gun noisily, stabbing you with elbows every time they turn page of newspaper, sharing their broadsheet with you...

OK - I'll stop before I have an anurism.

I really get miffed by people who say "You dont understand, you have no idea.....blah, blah,blah".  How do they bloody know what I have been through?  Grrr.  Old people that are rude to my Cubs.  I was in a well known supermarket the other day in the queue of 5 or less.  I was holding my shopping in my arms and decided that I would get some more stuff.  I said excuse me to the person in front and went forward to get a basket.  This 'person' grabbed roughly by the elbow and screamed "i was next".  In shock I dropped my shopping and told her I was only getting a basket and not pushing in.  To my horror it was an elderly 'lady'.  She then went off alarming about not respecting her and queue hopping.  I told her she deserved no respect and that if I had done what she had she would have reported me for assault.  Double Grrr.
