Oh my giddy aunt. What a lot of silly buggers there are.

Quote: Loopey @ July 11 2012, 4:32 PM BST

Today a stranger gave me an affectionate squeeze of the shoulders and said
'if only you could dear,' followed by a pat on the head and a 'lovely' smile.
Not sure if she thought I couldn't understand more than 5 words or if she was too choked up with sympathy to finish the sentence.
Angry

Maybe she wanted you to make this world a better place.

Indeed.
My Dad used to say 'my giddy aunt' a lot, you don't seem to hear it much nowadays.

I will try, I promise I will try really hard. Then I might get some bonus pats and squeezes and whole sentence.
Laughing out loud

Heh. I've only heard one person say it (my old HE teacher) and I quite like to bring it out on special occasions.

Is your giddy aunt called Fanny?

Ideally, yes.

Laughing out loud My Dad used to say that too. Those were the days when Gay was a girls name as well as Fanny.

Dad also used to call people soppy dates. I thought these were regional sayings but it seems not.)

My dad says that too!
And um, mad apeth?

Whatever that means.

Ha ha, this is bringing back some happy memories. I think an 'apeth was half a penny, meaning half-wit, but in a sort of affectionate way.

Oh I seeee. That does make more sense than the ape related rubbish my brain was coming up with.

My brain is exhausted after finally catching up on the 3 weeks posts I've missed! From all of which I've gleaned that AJGO and Natwicks are about to become millionaires and pay for us all to go to a meet-up in the Bahamas, and Scats has had a brilliant degree result. Congrats to all - hope you don't mind sharing these ...

possibly: 'half penny worth

I would have thought your poor fox had starved to death, having forgotten how to hunt and desiring only tinned salmon.
