Ditto. White haired blokes get called 'the young fella' around here. True blue! Originally Posted by

Blue was the stuff my grandma used to make white articles come out of the washing looking really white & bright.
It's also the stuff engineers use for marking out.
And, on weird words, SWMBO was given a stamp yesterday which had something about "moming" (like "a moming with a friend is a thing to warm the heart", or some equally soppy sentiment).
I'm online to go googling for "moming" (thats MOMING) but am curious as to whether anyone knows what it is???
Cheers,
Andrew

Could be - it looked like "MORNING" on the screen as I typed it, and I only found one reference to MOMING - something about tackling people at school?? Canteen mums, I guess...
So, I'll have to review the stamp again, and see if morning makes sense in the context.
