Title: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Carolyn P on Nov 7th, 2003, 2:35pm I was about to join in the yibbling on this thread when I realised it was 9 pages long. Here is the first link http://members.lycos.co.uk/thecbb/mateysecret.htm and the second http://members.lycos.co.uk/thecbb/mateysecret2.htm Hope that when you have had a good nights sleep you will be ready to posts lots and lots of story KB. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 2:38pm Glad to see we managed to help KB achieve two pages in the archives for this drabble. And what did you say Pat? I saw you had posted, but it appears to have been missed off the archived thread. I am sure it was something of vital importance to this drabble, and we would all hate to miss it! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by PatW on Nov 7th, 2003, 2:42pm Only wondering if we could get it archived before KB came back! ;D Which we did! I was going back to modify it when it disappeared! How many pages of yibbling can we get in before she's back? |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Carolyn P on Nov 7th, 2003, 2:43pm Sorry. I thought I'd waited for it all to open before saving. *not known for patience* |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 2:46pm How dedicated to the mission are you Pat? Personally, I am prepared to yibble for the next nine hours (barring school pick ups and feeding brat times) - think we could get it all archived again before she makes it back? ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by PatW on Nov 7th, 2003, 2:58pm Well, I'm supposed to be working, so I do a bit on each alternately!! I finish at 4.00, and go home. We're not on subscription at home, so I dip in and out fairly quickly. The more yibbling the better, though! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:31pm So who do I yibble with when you go home and leave me? <sobs a little early, but needs the practice> |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by PatW on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:36pm Don't know, but there's still a few minutes left!! Shall we yell for help? |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by NickiL on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:36pm I'm happy to yibble! Not usually on here when people are yibbling - ie 2 in the morning!! I can yibble for the next hour or two... ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:37pm Sadly I AM frequently on here at 2am - but that's the time of night that my PBs creep out and start whispering urgently in my ears . . . . |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by PatW on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:38pm Oh good, 'cos I have to go home soon. We want to fill as much as possible before KB comes back!! The more the merrier! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Katarzyna on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:39pm *leaping up and down in the corner of her office waving her arms in the air "I can help with the yibbling for the next hour or so"* (providing of course that they don't really expect me to do any work on a Friday afteroon) |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by PatW on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:40pm We must be nearly onto page 2 surely!!! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by NickiL on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:40pm No one does any work on a Friday afternoon do they? I don't!! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by PatW on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:42pm As little as possible, but I'm supposed to set a good example! Plus I have money to spend on books! ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:43pm Friday afternoons are for eating chocolate, and watching DVDs! At least, that's the theory in my house. Ahh, the joys of being a disabled single parent! I get to watch Shrek on a daily basis. <seriously contemplating sobbing as she considers how many brainy people use these boards, and to whom she has just confessed to being a "non-person"(according to the government anyway!)> Edited: See how thick I am? I just spelled the word "Brainy" with a "t"! Edited again: I also put "this" for "these". Aaaarrggghhhh! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by PatW on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:45pm Who's a non-person? Don't be so daft! We know you're not. You prove it every day! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by NickiL on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:46pm Hopes no one is too worried by Kate's (is it Kate for short?) leaping up and own. I have a little office and can hear anyone coming so no one knows what I'm doing in here!! ;D Edited to add - you're posting too fast! Rachel - Shrek is one of my favourite films, I love it!! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:48pm lol - according to the government, I don't count! (My dad works for the ONS so he is one who KNOWS!) Because I am disabled, I don't get counted as a single-parent. Because I am a single-parent, I don't get counted as disabled. Because I am a disabled, single-parent, I don't get counted as being out of work. See? According to the governement, the only way they even know I exist is because they have to send me money each month! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by NickiL on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:49pm That's just ridiculous! Of course you count - you're a CBBer!! ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:52pm And even more than that, I'm a drabbler ;D ;D ;D (And apparently a serial yibbler now too!) Edited: Lololololol! Two pages of yibbles! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Katarzyna on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:53pm Rachel - I am sure that your offspring (not sure if it is son or daughter sorry) thinks that you count, not to mention your parents, friends and the whole mad world of the CBB! NickiL - i have to share this office and at times my colleague does look at me slightly gone out - particularly when i have been reading certain drabbles!!! :D |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:55pm Kat, I have offspring of both varieties. Daughter, nine looks upon me with the despair and dismay only possible in a pre-teen. Son nearly eight, looks at me in admiration and adoration and murmers requests for food continually. ;D Mind you, my kids are STILL asking me what I'm going to be when I grow up! (Ooooooh, and isn't the line above my avatar appropriate for one of my brain? heh heh heh) |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by NickiL on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:56pm Yay, we've made it to page 2!! Rachel, I can't write fiction to save my life (good job the cats seem to keep the PBs away), so you're one up on me! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 3:58pm Nah, fiction writing is easy. You look around your family for characters, recycle old family feuds, introduce a few family foibles (like the Chastity Cat! Yes, it is REAL and exists at my parents house, protecting me from any further siblings!) and there you have it! Mind you, it helps if you change a few of the names occasionally! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by NickiL on Nov 7th, 2003, 4:00pm Chastity Cat? Chastity Cat?? Aaah, I think I get it - we have one of those on occasion too but we usually get rid of her!! ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 4:03pm *****ATTENTION***** For full details of the Chastity Cat's role in life, go and read a sweet little drabble called "Hilda's Letters - Revealed!" It was written as a spin off from a main drabble, and features several well thought out and well crafted ideas, not to mention the death of the author of THIS drabble, wassername, ummmm, oh yes! KB! (Hurry back and write some more KB! ::) ) |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by NickiL on Nov 7th, 2003, 4:06pm I did wonder if I'd missed something there! :-[ Don't get time to catch up with all the drabbles. As soon as I turn my back someone's posted more!! If Hilda's Letters follow on from where I think they do I will definitely investigate! ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 4:10pm I know what you mean about the catching up thing! Some people have no sense of decency and yibble on for hours! makes it so hard to get back up to speed ;D ;D (Are you enjoying this yet KB?) |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Katarzyna on Nov 7th, 2003, 4:13pm *waiting to see what NickiL's reaction to Hilda's letters will be....... and trying not to giggle about them at the same time... ...and now trying not to choke on her coffee having got the giggles again* |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 4:15pm Hey! "Hilda's Letters - Revealed!" was a serious drabble! Do you see the letters "FCS" anywhere in it's title? (I know, straw clutching just makes one look sad and desperate!) |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Katarzyna on Nov 7th, 2003, 4:21pm Not to mention the strange rash the straw can give you all over your hands |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 4:25pm And then when you rub your eyes and get rafters caught! Painful! (And have you seen my NEW line above my avatar? It's changing faster than I can change my knickers!) |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Katarzyna on Nov 7th, 2003, 4:36pm *starts to ponder how often rachel changes her knickers.......then wonders away shaking head having decided she really doesn't want to go there* |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by NickiL on Nov 7th, 2003, 4:45pm *giggling so much I think I'm getting an asthma attack* Well, just read Hilda's letters!! What can I say? Hysterical!! I need a cup of tea to calm down. Thank goodness no one can see (or hear) me!!! ;D ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Carolyn P on Nov 7th, 2003, 4:48pm Well at least she washes them, I presume, which is more than Hilda seemed to in Rachel's drabble. Yibble away and the only clue that KB will have that this thread has been archived will be the title and my original message. Hmm, wonder if this could get up archive stage before she returns. Liss will brain me for that suggestion no doubt! |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by NickiL on Nov 7th, 2003, 4:51pm It's partly Liss's fault we're yibbling - just trying to catch up star-wise. I object to being downgraded to a junior again!! ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Katarzyna on Nov 7th, 2003, 4:53pm its ok for you i actually got past arguing with my guardian and then what happened.... i was right back where i started! oh well home time for me.... happy yibbling (will try to log on over the weekend if i can persuade our pc not to kick me out after 3 minutes) |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by NickiL on Nov 7th, 2003, 4:57pm Have a good weekend! Will see you if I can persuade husband to let me on to the computer for more than 5 minutes! I'm a gaming widow... >:( |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 5:32pm Sounds like time to produce one of my famous "Joys of Being Divorced" lectures. Come prepared to take notes and have me sectioned at the end. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by PatW on Nov 7th, 2003, 7:30pm How close are we to page 3 girls? ;D Had tea, and logging on for half an hour!! We're there! Yaay!!! ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Catherine_B on Nov 7th, 2003, 7:33pm We could probably get to four if we tried.... *demonstrating counting skills* |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by PatW on Nov 7th, 2003, 7:38pm Let's go for it then! Any chance that enough would join in that it would have to be archived again before KB could get back to it? ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Carolyn P on Nov 7th, 2003, 7:48pm Well I'm game to try, although it will mean I can't write about why Hilda is blushing. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Sarah_G-G on Nov 7th, 2003, 7:49pm Ca- er- May I join in? It seems like a worthy aim after all, to have an entire thread dedicated to yibbling! And the star thing confused me a lot until I saw someone commenting on it. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Catherine_B on Nov 7th, 2003, 7:53pm To be frank, if KB objects to us yibbling on her thread, she will be the sootiest pot that ever called the kettle black. Let's yibble away, m'hearties! *sternly* Carolyn, no excuses. You can yibble and write. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Carolyn P on Nov 7th, 2003, 7:53pm Of course you may join in. The more the merrier. Can't help but wonder what KB will make of this when she returns. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Sarah_G-G on Nov 7th, 2003, 8:23pm It was her own fault, if you think about it. After all, if the story had continued more quickly then calls for more wouldn't have descended into yibbling. Also she is one of the main yibblers on the board so it's only fair that her drabble contains some yibbling. *ponders the definition of 'some'* *decides it's none too specific so quite possibly the criteria have not yet been filled.* |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by PatW on Nov 7th, 2003, 8:24pm She'll laugh - she'll have to. After all how many other people's threads has she hijacked? |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Catherine_B on Nov 7th, 2003, 8:29pm Well, she's online now, so we'll soon find out! ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by PatW on Nov 7th, 2003, 8:40pm Perhaps she hasn't got as far as her own thread yet!! ;D ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by KB on Nov 7th, 2003, 9:04pm *sits back and watches the yibbles pile up, giggling occasionally (do you know you people were asking what I would think about 2:30am?!) and glad to see that I taught you all so well and led by example* *considers letting this whole section go without a single part* |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Carolyn P on Nov 7th, 2003, 9:28pm NO KB! You can't do that. Well actually you can, but we are begging you not to. Carolyn, who didn't do much yibbling because contary to comments above I can't yibble and write at the same time. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Tassie_Ellen on Nov 7th, 2003, 9:34pm Logging on really quickly before I go to work - the Library being open for 3 hours on Saturday mornings - I must say that I'd been wondering when there would be an entire thread of yibble (is that the noun form?), and - TA-DAH! - here it is! Glad to see that we are following the very fine example set for us by our esteemed HG (good morning, KB, what's the weather like in Melbourne today?) |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 9:34pm And I failed in the yibbling stakes because I decided to go and watch Ab Fab instead. It's another programme that gives me inspiration for drabbling. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by PatW on Nov 7th, 2003, 10:09pm Hello KB - knew you'd be laughing!! Pity we couldn't get further before you got back. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by KB on Nov 7th, 2003, 10:17pm Oh, don't let me stop you! I only jumped on to check this and then I'll be getting off again. As I said last night, I haven't yet written anymore on this (although I'm going to try and get some done today) so yibble to your little hearts' content. And Ellen, it's grey and overcast here, but thankfully dry, as that meant I got the washing dried. |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 10:22pm Your wish is our command! Come on girls - accept your role in life tonight is to yibble and get this thread archived again without a single word of KBs story! ;) |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Carolyn P on Nov 7th, 2003, 10:23pm KB, by 'this' do you mean the whole board, or this thread in particular. If you are not intending to post soon I think we might just as well all give up and go to bed! (I always seem to be talking about bed on this board) |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 10:27pm You mustn't go to bed yet Carolyn! Promise me you wont go for at least twenty minutes! And Lisa, well, your wish is also my command ;) |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by LauraT on Nov 7th, 2003, 10:35pm *sings* A yibblers life for me --- to the tune of a sailors life for me, ro something along those lines. May I join the yibbling? Am currently v excited at my hundredth post! Wowee! ;D ;D ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Carolyn P on Nov 7th, 2003, 10:35pm *warily nervous* Why, what is going to happen in 20 mins Rachel? |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by KB on Nov 7th, 2003, 10:39pm I mean this thread in particular, and I'm dying to see how long it takes to get it away. I'd join in, but the board is soooo slow right now, and I have to go and visit my grandmother this morning. Maybe by the time I get back, I'll be able to yibble with the rest of you! ;) |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 7th, 2003, 10:39pm Congratulations Laura! And welcome to Yibble-Land! And Carolyn, just keep watching the drabbles list ::) |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Vikki on Nov 8th, 2003, 12:02am Can I join in? I was going to have words with Rachel, Rachael and Pat for their cheeky comments about KB and myself in the archived bit, but the rest of the yibbling has distracted me more than a little..... |
||
|
Title: Re: Matey's Secret #3 SCS Post by Rachel on Nov 8th, 2003, 12:05am So you get easily distracted too Vikki? You sound like my soul mate then ;D oh look, a feather . . . (Scampers off to follow the feather) ... where was I? Oh yes, of course you can join in Vikki. The question is "May" you. ;D Oh I do so love catching out the prees with that one. |
