socks 32,253 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Just because his posts can be loquacious, rambling, garrulous, palaverous and verbose, i don't see how anyone could describe them as long-winded. Some beautiful words there Walshie! Love it. I love the spoken word and written work. In the office we play a game where someone finds a long word and we have to work out what it means. Brilliant for extending the vocabulary. What high jinx and japes you must have ............ 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RemyBolt 420 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 You can see why your wife's got depression theres going to be a few folk on here phoning her and asking what brand of medication is she on and do they help Your right I can see why my wife had depression. It has nothing to do with her dad dying when she was young, a childhood of bullying, and things like that. It's because I like to talk a lot. 10 points for you, congratulations. Now, if your wife ever becomes suicidal, remind me to make a joke about that too....and blame you for her problems. There are some thing that are better left unsaid, no matter how funny you think they might be. Especially if you are having fun at another person's suffering or if you have no idea of the extent of what they've been through, But congratulations. That was very funny, and we all laughed very hard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
