I lost a Malteser in March 1997. I know this because I found it under my bed in 2006, alongside a copy of a letter typed in the same month. You’ve gotta love carbon dating.

Looks like you and the WordPress prompts have issues with one another.
Enjoyed the name change ideas.
I love the prompts: the stupider, the better!
You don’t clean under your bed very often. That last pun is a wowser. I have to ask: did you eat the errant elderly Malteser?
Eeewwww! No! Not while anyone was looking.
Our bed has drawers to the floor and our room has no room, so it’s almost impossible to move the bed.
I may have exaggerated just a leeetle…
Viv got in before me…I was going to ask the same question about the Malteaser.
I can see I’m going to have to post a disclaimer! That’ll teach me to try and be funny.
She’s baaaaaaack!
Yay!
Wonderful post there TillyB or whichever name you choose…. You have a great way of answering their silly prompts especially the last one..the Malteser from 1997 ..I bet you ate it….
I didn’t, I swear! Oh, what have I done? In my quest to being laughter to the world, I have let you all think me a Malteser-eating fiend.
….
I bet if WordPress stopped giving us all writing prompts, you’d be in a state of mourning–black arm band and all. So would I. These posts are too funny!
Great answers, as always!
Thanks
I can’t help myself; they’re like a drug to me
Did you eat the Malteser???
No! no! NO! What do you lot take me for??
You unleashed a global Malteser scandal, get a P.R person, get the army of lawyers. Take shelter, screen your calls. Argh!
You are so clever, I love your relationship with Mr. Prompter.
A PR person. Hmm, I like that. Will I have to pay them in Maltesers, though?
As for my relationship with Mr Prompter, I think it’s one-sided. He never phones, never calls…
I vote for Lily Bug. Billy Bud is dead (and a story by the author who wrote Moby Dick. Dianne
I didn’t know he wrote it. I saw the film on SA tv in the eighties. The presenter came on afterwards and it was obvious she had bawled her eyes out at it
‘A peck of dirt before you die,’ my mother used to say if we dropped something edible on the floor. ‘Blow on it. It won’t kill you.’
Just how much is a peck?
About nine years’ worth?
On a grey day like today, Silly is Good!
Always!
‘Our bed has drawers to the floor ‘ – Pink, fleece lined, long legged elasticated top and bottom I hope!
That tells me more about you than you probably intended to share
Funny post! You’ve got to laugh at some of those WordPress prompts.
And I frequently do
You certainly do more with those silly prompts than I can. Glad to see that you are back
Thanks
Did you get the Malteser back?
Ouch!
