Awake and breathe Wednesday

[Iguana]

MORNING.

My first day of a week's holiday and I'm awoken at 6.30 am by Tisch's phone saying "WELCOME TO NEW BIXBY."

Fummin'.

 

[lolly]

I will be spending this morning rifling through secondhand record shops.

Quick return trip to the dentist this afternoon, otherwise the day is clear. I could do with another week of this but never mind.

 

[Rita]

I am REALLY worn out so have decided to take a couple of days out to collect my thoughts. My cleaner/psychiatrist was in earlier and seems to have helped me get things a bit clearer in my muddled old head.

 

[octophone]

...cleaner/psychiatrist...

That's the gig economy for you...

 

[Diddy]

I’m going to celebrate this B*witching thread title by doing a little HNGH at the start of every line I sing

 

[Rita]

Some people say I look like me Da.

 

[Rita]

What does HNGH mean @Diddy?

 

[Iguana]

I’m going to celebrate this B*witching thread title by doing a little HNGH at the start of every line I sing

I wondered whether anyone would pick up on the fresh and current reference

 

[octophone]

I think it's onomatopoeia for that weird noise the lead singer used to make all the time.

 

[Diddy]

What does HNGH mean @Diddy?

It’s an untranslatable Gaelic word that could be interpreted as “I can’t quite hit these notes without taking an unsubtle vocal run-up”

 

[Jætike]

"Hngh" is the sound of my old aunts scoffing when they discover I'm getting a BA in English

 

[octophone]

"Hngh" in Scotland usually indicates constipation.

 

[Diddy]

Britney uses it too, perhaps not surprising because of her MA in Ancient Gaelic

 

[Iguana]

HIGNFY is a topical comedy show on the BBC

It's a little known fact that this umbrella actually originated 2,000 years ago in County Down

[Indie]

Hi internet. I'm on a bus.

 

[Beverley]

HOWS CUBA

 

[Shirley]

MUCH LIKE THIS OF COURSE

 

[Rita]

No POTW today?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

No POTW today?

Now being renamed Posters of the Woke, which suggests that any ranking of posters is offensive and that we're all probably racist anyway.

 

[Mugatu]

No POTW today?

Yeah, I'll sort it out later. Everything always goes so smoothly when Indie is away, I'm sure this will be no different.

 

[Rita]

Is Indie off on holiday NOW?

WHERE HAVE I BEEN ALL WEEK?

 

[Mugatu]

Is Indie off on holiday NOW?

WHERE HAVE I BEEN ALL WEEK?

Yeah, he's on a fact-finding mission with the Castro family in Cuba.

Meanwhile, I'm having the same problem with the spreadsheet as last time This week's chart might be delayed a while.

 

[Rita]

Can you wait until i am Top 5? Preferably number 1.

 

[Mugatu]

Can you wait until i am Top 5? Preferably number 1.

Yeah maybe, if you can be top five until he comes back I'm sure I'll be far too high up for my liking.

 

[Rita]

You could have been A LOT higher if you portioned those essays down to sections.

HOWS CUBA

Seems fine. Warmer than home. People speak Spanish. Everyone wants to give me a taxi ride.
