Hi FM smiley

I'm currently looking for pictures for my next years calendar, and like your passion flower graphic. Problem is, I'm trying to choose pictures that represent the month they're used for, and (unless I missed it) there's no info on which month(s) the passion flower blooms, so could you tell me when if blooms please. smiley

If you want to see what I mean click on my name, and follow any of the links there, though I don't think you'll like it much, it's all mumbo-jumbo, hocus-pocus sort of stuff, but it's not meant to be taken seriously, just some light-hearted entertainment. smiley

Oh and, you know me by my regular name. I have your passion flower graphic on my PS, and when I wrote an edgy Entry a few months ago, you said if that got a graphic, you'd put it on your PS, no worries though, that's never going to happen, well, not in our life-time. whistle

Hi Emmily winkeye
It's nice of you to ask if you can use the graphic, but this is probably no more than a courtesy as anybody can use anything around here they find lying about.

In fact, I'd be tempted to use it for April. April is the month of Easter, and Easter is all about the Passion. Given warm conditions, the Passion Flower will bloom all year round, but my P. incarnata starts off in May-ish (hence its other name - maypops).

And yes, I would have reciprocated and placed your edgy graphic on my PS, not just because I enjoying rocking the boat, but perhaps because we have a little more in common than is apparent from reading my journals... winkeye

"Hi Emmily winkeye " Oh cheers for giving me away FM, was that payback for the smileys in the other thread laugh

I've taken your advice and used the Passion Flower for April, as there's no available Easter pictures. I already had one in April, but it works just as well in March. smiley

As a member of the Photographers Group, I was going to nominate the BDSM Entry for a photograph to be applied, in the best possible taste of course evilgrin , but as an Entry less edgy than that was refused by the Eds on the grounds of not promoting the Entry, I decided not to nominate it. Maybe in a year or two the idea might be more acceptable, but don't hold your breath. winkeye

It's a very nice calendar, btw. must have taken you ages.

It's hilarious, because I looked at your calendar for my birthday, which is on August 28th, and the description of my characteristics, good and bad, has me down to a tee. It's a fair cop, guv, but society's to blame...

Thanks for the compliment, it did take quite a while, but was worth it, I was happy with the result. smiley

I can see how your birthday description fits, though I just see you as a grumpy old man, and that's not meant as an insult FM, I live (contently) with a grumpy old man, and I don't find many of his jokes funny. I'll tell you one of his recent ones, but warn you it's in bad taste.

"I know what I'm getting Sandra for Christmas: a basque, a mini-skirt, fishnet-stockings and a one way ticket to Ipswich"

He was telling people that before anyone was arrested. I tried to stop him telling it to the old biddies (aged between 60s to 80s) that I work with in the charity shop, thinking they wouldn't find it funny, but they did. doh

Oh, I'm certainly a grumpy old git, but there's a lot more to me than that.

Tasteful joke erm . A friend of mine (yes, I do have them) lives a mile away from where all the bodies were found. I'm sure he'd have something to say in response to that.

The middle part of the joke is visually amusing, but then you'd need to know what the vision is to know that. I'm just under five foot, weight around 14 stone and am size 20-22, in other words, I'm a little fat dumpling. I would look totally ridiculous in the above-mentioned attire. It's the kind out outfit Dawn French or Jo brand would wear for a walk-on laugh. smiley

It's an unfortunate quirk of human nature that *some* people find humour in tragedy that doesn't directly affect them. There were quite a few *bad taste* jokes doing the rounds at my partner's work place (he's a technician in a college) whether they were originating from the staff or the students, I've no idea.

The first tragedy related joke I remember, and I don't remember the actual joke, only the situation. It was a rocket launch involving seven astronauts; one was a teacher, they all died due to a malfunction. The joke, one of several going round, was something to do with '7UP' the drink, and 'Teachers', whisky. That's all I remember.

My favourite type of joke is 'bloke jokes', (nice and simple [tried to resist saying "like men" but failed laugh ]) there's a whole thread of them I posted somewhere here. Though someone thought I was a man-hater, he posted to apologise on behalf of the male species, and said we aren't all rats (or something like that). To even things up a bit, I posted some 'woman jokes', but there's just not many of them, and they're not very good. All the best woman jokes are directed either at blondes, or Essex girls. smiley

It's 3.25am on Christmas Day, I'd better go to bed. zzz Have a good Christmas FM redwine
