Ah… It all makes sense now. Original they certainly are. I say are, as I am still enjoying them. They’re still stuck to the pillow and as much as I get on all fours and try and bite them off, they won’t budge. I sometimes wake up with them resting on my forehead.
I realise I lost the door hanger but 2 weeks is really pushing it for no laundry service. Is there a number I can call you on to request replacements before the sheets become as crusty as the pillow?
Alright, Bltech, still working on that evidence on why I’m only at the top of the leaderboard (8 points clear, btw) just because I’m female? I’m looking forward to reading/mocking it…

Cascadia Saint. Who? Recently misquoted as Cicada Saint. Used to be Socal Saint. Always misquoted as Social Saint. Forgot to capitalise the letters when first signed up for SF / SteveWeb. No-one in england knows what or where SoCal is anyway, and am actually pretty social so not the worst thing to ever happen to me.
Top bloke. Disappears for weeks at a time. Only member of papsweb with real job? Doesn’t actually have real job. Still can’t find the time to keep up though. Fuck knows how you lot do it. Kudos to all.
Hi Cascadia, I’m liking your style. Does that mean you’re from Southern California?
Definitely a top bloke - please don’t disappear!
Thanks Lou. If by Southern California you mean the Isle Of Wight then yes, SoCal born and bred. I escaped the prison aisle many years ago though, spent 5 years in LA and now 6 in Portlandia. My accent is destroyed, please don’t laugh at me like my mates do in the pub every time I come home and visit.

Hmmm, I’ve been here 15 years and my accent seems to be only slightly adapted for easier understanding. I have just come back from the town hall. In those sort of places I seem to come over all Hugh Grant in a sub-concious effort to make sure I am easily understood. The lady there said something about my “beautiful voice”…It’s always a bit embarrasing, especially after 15 fucking years of it!..If only I had my Benny Hill accent back, but then again, nobody ever understood me in those days. 
Haha! English people think I sound ridiculous, even the Americans now guess Austrailian. I wish I could try harder to keep it but, like, whatever.
Cascadia Saint - a fellow Caulkhead!
I grew up in the Cowes district, how about you?
I don’t wanna hijack the thread with this as we are getting off topic, but I just gotta mention that in the first few years I also got the Australian mistake, but that seems to have gone away now since Hugh Grant bought my soul. Also, it was a few years before I met my daughter again face to face. My immediate reaction was “Who the fuck is this? Why is she talking with a weird accent at me!” I honestly don’t really know where I stand these days regarding my accent.
The worst thing about having an English accent in the 'States is all the fuckers who try, and fail miserably, to pull a British accent off in your honour.
Dick van Dyke, almost all is forgiven.
I think you should create a badge for yourself just for that comment!!
It’s even worse when they ask you to try an American accent…I always tell them no. I will just be insulting you, and embarassing myself. It’s a lose/lose situation.
Well, I was annexed over in the East district of Cowes, so I’m sure we never met… 
Bluh - Ee - Hell, you’re right there! Crimes against nature, some of them are. If I can do a passable American accent, surely they can do an ‘British’ accent that doesn’t make my ears bleed.
And they all think their accents are SO GOOD, and get most hurt when you tell them that actually it’s shite.

Good lord, no!
My mother couldn’t afford the innoculations for the East district of Cowes.
I got my booster shot every morning on the floating bridge, so they would let me go to Cowes High though!
Spooky, Cascadia, it looks like we even went to the same school; although it was actually still Cowes Secondary Modern when I first arrived there.
Hmmmm… It didn’t look very modern when I was there.

Q. What’s worse than a word bore?
A. A word bore from the Isle of Wight.
Get a room!
So sorry Mr butler, sir. Didn’t realise you were the word police as well. So many responsibilities around here, you need a rest.
**Sadoldgit ** From the other place, SOG (as he is sometimes known) will be familiar to many of the papsweb massive, on account of prior experience in that forum. I’ve often found myself on the same side of the argument as him. He will no doubt be devastated to learn that CB Fry regrets ever signing up here (with his fake email address) and will never log in again

BTW cicada, Lou will be along in a little while to blow smoke up your arse, and tell you that you are really special despite the fact that she couldn’t find the enthusiasm to write anything next to your name.
She will say that you hadn’t posted enough to be known, and I hope you believe that.
Thanks, Bletch. I’d been (mentally) dining out on finally receiving official CoxfordLou*/Papsweb recognition for the last 36 hours. Illusions well and truly shattered. Back to being thrown the occasional breadcrumb of a Bearsy upvote…
*is there any other type of recognition?
