It's all very confusing


I read that they were coming back and then that they had never been away.
But I've not seen many in Wigan

I bet it's too cold for them.

I only tried them once and that was years ago

Black peas ?

In a moment of need mine provided me with half a crown

I enlarged that photo and I may have captured a ghostly apparition. A boy whose lower half appears to be disappearing. Spooky.
But no balls if you'll pardon the expression

I meant the golden balls of the pawnbroker, I-Spy

I predict that boomerangs will be coming back.
Replied: 30th Nov 2016 at 15:35


jo anne, I don't think The Golden Ball will be coming back.
You're right, Priscus, that Golden Ball has Bryn and gone!

Was that when they were in their Haigh day, I-Spy?
Replied: 2nd Dec 2016 at 10:24


You could well be right Jo Anne. But maybe you should do some checking at home.
Replied: 2nd Dec 2016 at 16:26


Checking? ... Tablecloths?
Replied: 2nd Dec 2016 at 19:17
It's that check coloured paint. You just can't get it anywhere. Had to make do with tartan paint off thinternet.

I think I've got lost
Replied: 3rd Dec 2016 at 21:37


Sorry, I-Spy, we need more clues to get what you're thinking of.
Replied: 3rd Dec 2016 at 21:41


They are very popular in the USA. But only cos they like to think they are bigger than they are.
Replied: 3rd Dec 2016 at 21:49


Agh, I still can't get it!
Replied: 3rd Dec 2016 at 22:15


Think carrots and you're just a letter away
Replied: 3rd Dec 2016 at 22:18


Parrots?
Replied: 3rd Dec 2016 at 22:25


Carrots and......
Swop the I for a u and bobs your uncle
Replied: 3rd Dec 2016 at 22:27


And fancy's your pants? Turnups?
Replied: 3rd Dec 2016 at 22:30


Apparently they are still very popular with Liverpudlians Jo Anne. As a scouse-wife you probably know that
Replied: 3rd Dec 2016 at 22:36


Scouse-wife, indeed!
Turn ups are popular with Liverpudlians - that's a turn-up for the books!
Replied: 3rd Dec 2016 at 22:46


I wonder if anyone on here is a turn up person male or female
Replied: 3rd Dec 2016 at 23:09


Even Google finds it all very confusing, I-Spy, I searched for turn ups and look what turned up!
Replied: 3rd Dec 2016 at 23:22


And not a turnip in sight
Replied: 3rd Dec 2016 at 23:50


Are you sure, I-Spy? And just to,add to the confusion here's a Swede with turn ups!
Replied: 4th Dec 2016 at 00:37


What's the difference between a turnip and a swede. And don't say swedes can sing
Replied: 4th Dec 2016 at 17:15
Turnips are white-fleshed, and swedes are yellow-fleshed.
But whenever the menu says carrot and turnip, carrot and swede always seems to be what arrives on the plate.
Replied: 4th Dec 2016 at 17:27


And swedes sound very different to turn ups in the USA as they're called rutabagas. link
Replied: 4th Dec 2016 at 17:34


It's very educational innit
Replied: 4th Dec 2016 at 17:56



Ruddy Yanks all think they're 7ft tall and have then got to roll up their jeans
Replied: 4th Dec 2016 at 21:40


Are you sure that's why turn ups are the height of fashion?
