    Deeeeeeer Frankie,

    I think my husband of twenty wan years may be seeing another woman because he only said "morning" to me yesterday and not the usual "good morning". And when I confronted him with this he just grunted and went to work. I'm sick with worry, Frankie, and you're the only wan who can help me. Whatever will I do?"


    "Well, he is a man and I bet your mother warned you about him. Of course it's not for me to say but, reading between the lines, he certainly sounds like a ghastly monster and a drunken filthy womaniser with a gambling problem who picks his nose and sometimes misses Mass so I'd end the relationship immediately. Pack some essentials - Jacobs Cream Crackers, Custard Creams maybe - and leave town today."

    Da dih da da daaaa (dum dum dum) da da da daditty dah.....

    I wonder who Frankie could have written to about her own secret. She must have been a lonely lady.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,552 ✭✭✭Layinghen


    Indeed, it must have been an incredibly lonely life.

    Yeah, we were great listeners to the Light Programme too, also the Home Service. Women's Hour, Beyond our Ken, Goons, Clitheroe, Billy Cotton, Ted Ray, Navy Lark, Music While You Work. How we laughed at the comedy shows. Hardly bears thinking of now that a family would sit down and listen to the wurless and fall about laughing. With the rubbish on TV these days, maybe its time to go searching along the ould dial again!

    Now you're talking, real radio! The Goons, what trailblazers they were...and wasn't Billy Cottons catch call 'Wakey-Wakey'? Those were good days then when radio could be listened to by everyone as you say. Today we are all 'individual' which seems good for some folk....a bit like having a superb birthday bash, by yourself! :(

    Heavy grey skies here in the Kingdom. Not a puff of air which is just not normal here by the side of the sea. Think thunder might be heading this way.

    Fabulous evening in our fair capital :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 27,942 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    Glorious day in Waterford, I spent it with several other people doing an exhibition of Viking crafts and my own kit comprised two layers of full length, long sleeved linen dresses and a wool over-thingy. It was warmish. Good day though, two more to go!

    The "rent-an-opinion" experts in this link don't seem to have noticed that every letter had the same style, same tone, same grammar, same rhythm as Frankie's answers. Duh, Frankie WROTE ALL THE PROBLEMS HERSELF!

    And she never answered my letter so I still don't buy Jabob's Cream Crackers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,551 ✭✭✭Rubecula


    A bit of fun for Chucken as requested.

    You're quiet, sensitive, and to yourself, but that won't stop you to be courageous! You may not speak up much, but you're independent!

    You may get scared easy, but with your friends you're stronger! You enjoy company, and won't turn down a chance to be with your buddies. You love food, but... WHO DOESN'T!

    I'm a beaver :eek::eek:

    Apparently in between building walls around those close to me I don't mind getting wet!!

    If I don't succeed at once my creativity and boldness will lead me to try, try again.

    Never knew until now I was creative:D:D
