Splendid, good sir. Would you like to go for a ride in the motorbuggy, perchance? We could go to Hayworth's General Store and peruse their selection of monocles. A fine time will be had indeed.

One wonders why we have become characters out of a 1920's screenplay, what what? Anyone for tennis?

You're so lucky in life darling! I could just die for a recipie like that! My Great Aunt Gertrude was a great one for recipies. Used to make the most wonderful scrumpsiously wonderfully scrumpscious hash cookies, you know, at least until they put her away, the poor poor dear.

Ohh, I know. Really I know. Isn't it just terrible how that happens - everthing is just sunshine and warmth and then just when you are least expecting it - soggy cookies. Have you tried uncle Matilda's waterproof cookie receipe?

Darling! You'll have to start a choir! How did you get them to sing?! Sarcastic's Singing Cookies! Ah, the neighbours will be sooo jealous!

That Mavis was round mine with her bulbous muffins again. She says she bakes them herself, but I could have sworn I saw a receipt.

Is this thread a sly dig at neurotypicals, or just at smalltalk in general? 8)
Or maybe it's a chance to hone our skills!
Much as I find smalltalk baffling, it clearly serves a purpose.

Anyway, ok! I'll join in!

Umm. Nearly Christmas eh? It seems to come round quicker and quicker each year.
