hello sexy människor.

My name is Ingrid and I'm new on here. I thought I should introduce myself to all you lovely people on the Cooksons forum. I'm from Sweden and I'm an aupair living over here in the UK with my brother Lars who you have also met I believe. I hope we will be intimate together (please excuse my English if that is not the correct term as I'm using Google translate!)

I am learning to make jewellery with the help of my tutor who is also very nice.

I've been told to watch out for somebody called GETi (funny name!) Is he hot or something?

I think you should tread carefully with your use of English.

Swedish au-pairs tend to be the subject of slightly dubious sex comedies here, and if you are indeed working on jewellery, I would concentrate on that as a job title.

If you have any skills as a Swedish chef, then we have various other characters from the Muppet Show already on line.

Welcome Ingrid. Nice to find another friendly person on the forum.

Geti can be an interesting conversationalist - along with JasonJohn, but I think they're harmless.

Hi Ingrid and welcome. We have indeed met Lars and I hope you don't mind me mentioning this but we're a little worried about him and the company he keeps. Perhaps you could keep a sisterly eye on him

Welcome Ingrid, lovely to meet you!

Definitely watch out for that GETi, he could have you in all sorts of trouble if you aren't careful!

Hi Ingrid, make sure that it's only jewellery making that your tutor is trying to teach you! Just because his lasers etch, you don't want to go and see his etchings!!
Welcome to the forum!

Hi Ingrid, nice to see you here - I'm sure you will pick up loads of interesting tips and tricks of the trade from your tutor :xmaswelcome:

Thank you Di.

I too am worried for Lars - since he was a young boy we did fear for his choice in the company he kept and his shade of lipstick. Jason seems like a nice young boy though - surely he will keep him on the straight and narrow, yes?

Thank you Di.

I dunno Ingrid - it depends on whether you think sparkly orange mirror gloss lips are right for a boy of his age? Personally, I think that's fine for older boys but younger ones are better served by rose pinks and the like.

Ingrid, I notice one of your interests is swearing so I look forward to some in depth chats. :xmas-):

Thank you George, my mother did knit it for me :) She is so nice my mother - you may know her, yes?

Do you know Lars too Barbara? He is so funny with his little stories of his travels in Amsterdam - I do hope he joins the forum (Mother!) :)

Lars has gone travelling (again!). I'm not sure if he's off to Amsterdam or somewhere in the UK. That boy never tells me anything. Still, I sent him off with clean underwear like any good mother would.

Well I hope its not too long - I'm seriously worried about him out there all alone in the big bad world with just clean pants and bright orange lippy

Thank you Jason,

Oooh! How is Hildegard? Is she still banged up in that Bangkok prison for trying to export herbs without a licence?

Emerald

Perhaps you could meet Lars in Angels or The Village Pub Ingrid i am sure Geti will know them! :)

Hello Ingrid or as we say in Cymru Croeso. (Actually I'm from Lancashire)

Does anyone else use a Swedish accent when reading Ingrid's posts? If so do they do block bookings at the asylum?

I'm ashamed to say that I do. Don't know about the block booking thing - it would be quite good fun. A bit like a holiday.

Ah mother! You are truly the best. I remember when we were growing up together Lars would have his little 'accidents' and many a time he would have to dip in to my drawer for a spare pair because his were always in the wash. There were a lot of 'accidents'!

Does he still have a pair of his favourite lime green hip-huggers with the fancy pink lacy edging?

Oh yeah, I forgot about the jewellery.
What sort of things do you make, Ingrid?

This I must see. :xmaslaugh:

Shame on you Lesley!
Surely you know Sweden is the home of cutting edge contemporary design. Or has Ikea not made it up to Yorkshire yet?

Hello and Welcome Ingrid. Can't wait to get to know you and Lars better, and to see some of your designs. Do you work in wool?

I am very new at the moment - excuse my English! Geti is giving me some tips on how to make jewellery and how to behave in forums - I hope very much to be able to show you more of me (I hope that isn't rude?) :">

03-12-2009, 09:44 PM
Don't worry Ingrid, there is lots of good advice on the forum so you don't have to believe everything Geti tells you!:xmaslaugh:

Hello Ingrid, :X

It's nice to see you getting around our little community so quickly! I'm sure you will find having Geti as a mentor a real eductaion but don't forget mother always knows best.

BTW stay away from the pillar box reds if you are visiting Jason, he tends to prefer something a little more outgoing than that, especially if you want to make an impression.

Bonkers Bridget? No my dear lady, never that, just a ittle eccentric at times.

It's more fun that way!
