Started what Glenys? Sylvia xxx

I think you've started something now, Sylvia! :-) Glenys x

Thank you for giving your explanation of Jack Frost. I had certainly not heard that one before. Never too old to learn! Sylvia xxx

"The story of Jack Frost has Nordic origins, where he was called Jokul ("icicle") Frosti ("frost",) son of the Norse god of wind, Kari. When Jokul moved to England, he became Jack Frost, and was pictured as an elf like being who coloured tree leaves and the ground with frost and painted patterns on windows. Being popular, Jack then emigrated to the US."

Still think it's a man's world! Sylvia xxx

Hi Gramps, Well with Satelitte Nav systems you can change them to whatever you want. My friend's started off as Gloria but did she nag. Turn left, turn right. Now he's given her a sex change and she's Tim. Turn left, turn right. Think he regrets not having me navigate for him. I used to take him down the wrong roads on purpose. Makes live more interesting what!

Bye. Jack Frost has just arrived. See u in two hours!

Sorry he's, she's. I'm going to spend 2 hours with THE JACK FROST tonight! Getting a bit grey round the ears but he can still solve mysteries!

My car is not a she. He's called Felix.

Yes, it seems like a man's world, doesn't it! Sylvia xxx

Sylvia, don't forget that cars are "she's", too! You don't think we're going to be nicked by the P.C. brigade, do you? And another one for you - why is it that when the man of the house says something, it's "advising", but when the lady does - it's "nagging". Mmmmmmm? Glenys x

Why "Jack", why not "Jill" or even "Pete"? Why are ships referred to as "she"? If your child does something wrong, then it's mothers fault, but if child succeeds at school, then it's fathers child. Strange society we live in! Sylvia xxx
