The devil will make work for idle brainpans

And many congos on passing me as 3rd most prolific poster on the board

I never noticed. When I get to 2,000 I'll change my user name from Poohbcarrot to poohbcarrot and start again!

I see Chris is very close to 2000.

 

[chris.ph]

very close and getting closer

 

[poohcarrot]

And many congos on passing me as 3rd most prolific poster on the board

I have no desire to be the 3rd highest poster, so I have changed my name to poohcarrot.

Just one of my little quirks.

 

[bikkit]

[Jan Van Quirm]

So stylistically he's a sort of Axel Rose meets Julian Clary?

VG and no typos

Puh - whadothey know?

They give black a bad name :twisted:

Mindjew - some of the nuns at my school could have done ads for Gillette - some of the finiest* moustaches I ever saw there

(*fine/funniest possibly - I swear I haven't been near alcohol for at least a month! )

 

[chris.ph]

yeah ok jan we believe you honest

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

It's TRUE about the moustaches! :twisted:

That's wonderful Pooh!

Sure it was sad, but there's nothing wrong with that - it's an important part of education. And it ends on a positive note and that's fine. I think you've done a great job of writing about a sensitive subject!

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

Certainly have *resists urge to hug pooh but goes for the Gloob instead*

It's hard enough for adults to cope with death, let alone Alzheimers, so anything that can deal with those issues honestly and simply and with a positive slant too is great - very nice touch with the 'be with my wife' part too.

 

[Batty]

I think it's important to remember the first verse of the first chapter:
The Gloob of Thannook,
A most curious chappie.
A smile on his face
Every day, always happy.
No crying for he,
Not ever a frown.
A positive fellow
Who never feels down.

The Gloob likes and believes in himself, and that is what is important. His parents obviously gave him a sense of worth, which is a priceless gift to bestow.

Great tale, pooh - but where is Chapter 7?
