If people are sweet to me I will anything for them. I'm like a puppy. Just scatch me behind the ear and I'm yours. I do not respond to aggression. Nadist - Ew me too. Especially naturally hairy guys. When they are all bald and their hands are covered in fur... It's just so wrong. Shannon - I'd really rather not talk about it. I'm quite scarred. Ali-bell - Oh my god! That's the worst bathroom story ever. Who does that? Na - Oh darling. Tutoring is so not the profession for you. E - OOOOOH! I HATE that. My IT geeks at work are like that. They just don't understand that I can't do anything if my computer breaks. At all. Scribbles - They really suck. Before Mr Smaggle I exclusively dated boys with mega baggage. Good ones do exists. Sometimes you have to look a little closer to home to find them. Mr Smaggle and I were friends for four years before we hooked up! Grant - Ew... it changed the colour of the carpet? That's rank. Josephine - Ha ha! I know what you mean. I'm guilty of that sometimes though... sorry! I just hate being pounced on the second I walk in the store. But I also hate being ignored. I'm clearly difficult to please. :-) April - Thank god I'm not in retail anymore. It's so much worse than where I work now. Kerrin - Oh don't buy anything from there again. Why did he yell at you? E(ileen) - Ha ha! Yes sooky la la is very common. Well not so common if you're above the age of 5 but I'm not the most mature of lassies. It's sort of like a primary school insult. Weird though I never though of it as particularly Australian! You have an Aussie husband? Where are you from? Nadist - So you guys wouldn't say sooky la la in NZ? I don't know maybe I'm just really immature. Miss Corrine – I just don’t get it. If people are sweet to me I will anything for them. I’m like a puppy. Just scatch me behind the ear and I’m yours.

I have never heard the full term from anyone but my (Aussie) husband, but have heard "sooky" before. Anyone else who knows, please reply too :) Hi Lady Smaggle, I don’t really have a rant, but would like to ask you: is “sooky la la” a common term?

It's like the plague of retail. I once had a woman spit chewed up crackers in my face until I agreed that she could have a refund on an item that was clearly marked and highlighted "final sale" on both the item ticket and her receipt. She was so irate from the start that even when I finally agreed to give her the refund (after about 5-10 minutes of arguing and trying to understand what this woman was saying through a mouth full of crackers whilst all the while dodging and onslaught of cracker spittle), she hadn't noticed and continued to argue and spit regurgitated baked goods at me. I had to actually yell at her in slow and plain english that "I. AM. GIV-ING. YOU. YOUR. MO-NEY." She then immediately put her bag of crackers into her purse, swallowed the wad of flour and waited patiently for her cash. She had it planned all along... evil.

I hate that disgusting, plucked chicken look! Bodyhair for men is like tending a garden: matinence is fine, pouring a concrete slab over it is just dumb! My rant for the day, Lady S, concerns something completely benign and silly but it has really got my goat: Dust. WHERE DOES IT ALL COME FROM??? Now I admit, if I dusted more often I wouldn't have a problem, but I am having a dust-crisis now that I am moving. There are parts of my current bedroom which I assumed were in constant shadow. Now, I have discovered to my sheer joy that it is dust so THICK it has changed the colour of the carpet in places! WTF??? Why? Why is this happening to me? I'm such a nice person :( Xx I have to say I couldn’t agree more with Nadist, men who wax are gross. I hate that disgusting, plucked chicken look!
