A quick forum search shows the following information, Joey the Budgie, ran off with a Turkish man from some airline... went to footy match with Wolvie.

Are you sure I said that? I must have nicked it from somewhere.
I never get fed up of your mithering :shock: Anyhow, puppies aren't just for Christmas... and children aren't just for childhood either it seems (26-year-old returned home after true love did a quick detour).

Well it was something like that when you were steering me to research stuff myself rather than just
put down what others had found as gospel.
I learnt from the best coz :wink: xx

:shock: I don't remember that ..............oh well she is coming back to England
I had an email from her last night.
She has met someone and they are thinking of touring around England in a camper van.
She may even do a Blog for us ..............if we can persuade her to.

I do admire her get up and go so much energy for her age.
:grin:

As long as you put a leaf on them, or comprimise with a jigsaw piece of a leaf.

A blog would be good but who would read it. I wrote a blog once, but I was only person reading it, just like real life really, I talk for hours with myslef, I also notice I start talking out loud to myself when doing shopping. Prehaps a handsfree phone headset is a good thing to wear in these situations, then at least people will think I am talking to someone instead of myself.

She is such an interesting charactor too.
And dresses with such class.....not a jeans and t.shirt gal our Winnie.

AndrewA wrote:So we can not get away from leaves and trees when it comes genealogy and research. Just about every service and website features them. Is this too clichéd and cheesy? Sometimes its too over the top I think, but of course it goes hand in hand, everyone expects a bit of greenery is going to be Genealogy related, so it makes sense to have it on everything isnt it?

I think I will just produce stuff with green leaves on it at end of day.


Meanwhile, back at the topic...

You could make a fortune by designing and marketing an alternative. How about one based on coral? Some of that grows like a tree but there is not a leaf in site and all sorts of colours.

Hope it's a coincidence and that some other woman has the same nickname as my sister - she certainly never mentioned a turk to me! :o :shock: :wink:

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.
