Isn't there an over abundance of mistletoe this year that farmers can't be bothered with harvesting it as it no longer gets much per ton?

Oh is there? I dunno, I only hear about it in terms of how much the Grundies are selling in The Archers....

OT, but you've done there the opposite of what the morning newsreader does on Look North.

A shed load is what comes off a lorry in an accident, A shedload is lots... While mistletoe could be a shed load, I suppose, I guess you mean lots.

She always announces a 'shedload' of bricks or whatever...
5-Live news-person was delighted the other day, as a lorry carrying a lot of sheds spilt them on the carriageway, hence there was a shed load of a shedload of sheds. blocking the road.

I'm a little bit "personal space", and have generally found kissing a little awkward, except with the wife. Trying to get it a bit more natural.

Always consider this kissing thing on one cheek then the other a load of old bollyhocks. On a rare occasion I kiss a female cheek I always leave it at one side; amuses me if they are a luvvy dahling type and immediately present the opposite cheek while I have pulled away job done and finished. No issues with good handshakes; I even quite like the sincerity of using the second hand as well to hold the wrist or arm; but only when it is meant as hever so sincere. Other than that, I find "Hello,' does quite well enough. I'm not a man hugging type, never have been and doubt I will ever be. Been told I need to get in touch with my feminine side to appreciate the virtues of 'fondness' with same sex greetings. I'll say the same here as I do when it is said. "You can pi55 right off.' I don't have a feminine side …. now where are my high heels?

I don't kiss women like that...it's best to keep a bit of distance as I have found that if I don't they get the wrong idea and rip my clothes off with their eyes..H a ha!

I may have mentioned this before but...
An attractive woman ( no, not you Claud!:wub: ) once told me I had a feminine side. My mate said, "She was right, you're a daffodil"

Since the childhood trauma of receiving tea-flavoured, wet, whiskery kisses from an elderly rellie I'm much more of a handshake and hug kind of girl. I'm also at that kind of age where I'm a bit whiskery and starting to smell of tea...

I'm insisting on a kiss when we meet Bagster!:thumbsup:

If I don't shave we might stick together like velcro.

I might make an exception for you, rich :girl:
The other hazard is that my balance is a bit rubbish, so I have a tendency to cling on to the kissee's arm to stop myself falling over. It all gets a bit complicated, especially if I've been in the pub for a while.
 
Manly hug at births, deaths and Marriages, none of this muddle class fake smooching and if I'm forced into it, I deliberately cause confusion so it doesn't happen again. Otherwise a hello with a curt nod suffices, it's not like I really like anyone anyway.
