.... and, more to the point, do people ever get Flabbergasted today?

I think that some effort needs to be put into the resurrection of this phenomena, to let others know there is a way to be more than just "amazed"!

In one word, how do you feel about that?

I was totally flabbergasted listening to Diane's conversation with Andrew Neil on "Sunday Politics" today. Crazy

Its a great word...I think i'll make that my word of the day.
Report Makybe_Diva • December 4, 2016 3:00 PM GMT
It's not a word I ever use. I would say amazed, astonished or shocked.

The word I absolutely hate and would never, ever, use is gobsmacked. I didn't even like typing it.

Talking of our Diane, I think she should consider getting a flabbergastric band fitted... imo.

Etymology of the word is quite strangely unknown, it just appeared in 1772.

I may be going out on a limb here, and might sound bit like Arnold Rimmer, but I suspect .. aliens.

That's ok, Culvin. To be honest the little shocked emoticon is one of my favourites. I never miss an opportunity to use it.

Love this one, too Plain

This is a favourite, also Mischief

Hi everyone.

Were you disappointed by Vroum Vroum Mag today, MD?
Report Makybe_Diva • December 4, 2016 5:45 PM GMT
I didn't watch it, Evgeny, but have read about it in the Sporting Life.

I was disappointed for VVM but pleased for Apples Jade after losing out at Newcastle.

The good thing is the horses don't care when they lose. They will probably both now be tucked up in their stables eating their tea Love

We are having a horse racing theme party at the Chit Chat pub (the Horsebox). Come dressed in your favourite colours - I imagine you will wear Tony Santic's Happy

I never go in the chit-chat pub, Evgeny, but thanks anyway Happy
