“......... do you stir clockwise or anticlockwise”

“If I was to stir it, it would be anti. However as I either drink herbal tea or black filter coffee without sugar, I don't usually stir my drinks.”

“Clockwise.”

“Forgot to say I stir anti clockwise.”

“Clockwise.”

“Clockwise. I didn't even realise you COULD stir a cuppa anti-clockwise! Isn't that a left-handed thing?”

“Anti-clockwise.”

“newlad, you're a little diamond. I think you'll go a long way with me (even if you do add extra letters, I'm no teacher).

I would also like to develope this phrase a bit more if I may. In future, when I'm going to use the phrase "I've laid my cards on the table" I'll substitute it for "I've put my spoon in my cup".
Isn't it wonderful?


Like a new tapestry.”

“DJ - ooh, you little tinker. How come newlad can get away with spelling mistakes but when I threatened to "eviserate" you, you were all over the missing "c" like the weather. Double standards say I!”

“anti clockwise ...whilst patting my head”

“And what about you cocktail drinkers, which way round the glass do you push the ice with your straw ?”

“Jenoh my lovely friend, you deserved it. You wouldn't accept the poem which is on ice for another day. Ha. Sometimes I wonder if you like to also pick me up before I've fallen down. Without Googling it, was i right about the missing 'c' and doesn't it mean something like vapourise? I might be wrong. It might mean discombobulate.... While we're at it I can't believe you thought I'd actually written my address down. You're also a little diamond. It's all in the poem!”
