Lol reading through this thread I could add most of the 'attributes' to myself so what does that make me?

Impatience! Drives Hubby mad, but at least it makes sure things get done.
He's more laid back than me!

Suzanne, your life is no 'fault' - but it's what (in my cynicism) the 'powers that be' would desperately grasp on.

All my dad (in his Islamic phase) ever wanted from his children was for us to speak the same to a beggar as we would a king.
I was chuffed when he told us we had achieved his dreams.
'But' he said to me, 'You were a bit harsh on King Faisel ' :-D :-D

He was a lovely man (King Faisal), my dad wasn't so bad either :-D

MrD. I notice you use the word "foreplay" in your last para. Did you mean "word-play?"

Must be your spell checker. :-S ;-)

What job are you applying for, Suzanne? Brenda from Wales has already been appointed to serenade holidaymakers this summer as they sit motionless on the A55 trying to reach Trearddur Bay. And my 95 year old mil is serving them cups of tea and Welsh cakes for £5 a head. ;-)

Cocky me full of sarcasm.


Dads put down reply------****some sarcasm comes from lack of not being able to produce an intelligent answer higher than their brain will allow.****

I never had an answer to that. :-D :-D :-D :-D

Being me :-D Leaves so much room to manoeuvre :-D :-D

(Lordy, why on earth is there a bloody USA spell-checker on this site !!! :-| :-P)

Rose, sarcasm is only considered the lowest form of whit by those with little grasp of the complexities ( :-D) of a language, and therefore are unable to appreciate the finesse of "word-play"... at least, that's my opinion ;-)

I can never understand sarcasm.

Modesty is my fault which secretly I think is a virtue.

Shopping, alcohol and beauty are virtuous in moderation. Too much and you become Elizabeth Taylor :-D

Cynisism. Not of 'real' people, but of 'academics' (what - you left school, went to Uni, stayed on at Uni got a Phd and work for the government, advising plebs on how they should live their lives when you've never had a 'proper' job in your life????)and the government - telling us what we 'should' do when you've never so much as stepped in our slippers, let alone walked a mile in our shoes.
Basically, those who think they know better than us 'normal' people
