Sappho adopts best Emma Thompson frown and earnest delivery
Dear Friends,
I feel I should say a word in defence of poor Will. I know you must be questioning his sanity at the present time and you would be right. He's been under a terrible strain recently, and the long miles between Berkshire and Shropshire have taken their toll. Frankly, it's the sex - it's just gone to his head.
Therefore I plead your indulgence, and in particular that of our Scots cousins. If needs be I will prostrate myself before you in his defence and you will have to get to him through me. Please form an orderly queue.
Yours,
Sappho xxx
PS: Don't worry, he's in safe hands, a quill-embroidered strait-jacket is being prepared by my own fair hands.
:therethere: Have a drink Jags, it'll calm you down. Bombay Sapphire?

Will, are you scrapping again? For God's sake, have a drink!
Sappho hands Will a large goblet of Penfold's Rawson's Retreat. Now give me the rapier, dear.
Mmm, drinkies! Good idea. Would love a Pimms or a Campari, please. Plenty of ice.
Now somebody very close to my heart recently introduced to me gin and tonic - very refreshing at a hot munch. For sipping late at night, a Glayva or a Benedictine. With dinner, the wine is dictated by the meal but Australian for preference every time - Wolf Blass, Penfold's, Jacob's Creek).
Please no vodka - not after getting pie-eyed in a thread run by Fred. I'm still grateful to Artificer for rescuing me.

Because it's much more fun in the forum, darling!
Nice to see you back among us Richo, you elusive thing, you! Now leave the horrid exams and come and play with your old childhood buddy. We can get all nostalgic and chummy and play the do you remember when game!
Lots of love Sappho xxx
There's a phrase hovering on the tip of my tongue, something to do with petards, but I'll leave it there.
Thank you Gord for reminding us how much we owe to the Scottish nation, particularly when considering the communications track record of English management on a daily basis.

Sappho hands Will a hardhat and advises ducking for cover before the mortars come whizzing over the border.
So nice to see the diplomatic corps in full flight isn't it? It's no wonder the Auld Alliance was with France, not England.
Bath bubbles and a good book or two. I love reading in the bath, soaking in scented water for an hour with a glass of something chilled to hand. Mmmm... bliss!
Babbler,
You have a really nice ad, although a pic would be nice as a point of reference. I hope you find some company this week.

I've voted but I still think you'll be stuck with the duck from hell!

Mmmm, another articulate single male... things just get better and better!
Sarge? Sarge? Are you okay?
Out cold. Okay, into the recovery position, over you go. Now, I need a blanket... sod it, looks like the pizza will have to do.
Here, here boy! Come and cuddle up to Sarge...
I wonder what he was going to say? Guess I'll never know. Time for bed, I guess.
Night Sarge, night pizza.
Hello Helen - and welcome to SH
Have fun in the forum!

Sappho pokes head around the door, obviously interrupting a blokey chat
Hi guys,
Don't suppose there's any chance of a drink is there? Just spent the evening with 22 manic kids, a DJ who insisted on playing Agadoo instead of Nirvana and my ex. Don't let me spoil the conversation, just something alcoholic in my right hand will do nicely. I shall curl up quietly in the corner of the sofa and chill.
I was about to commit the ultimate folly and buy some lingerie in Shrewsbury today. Before I could make my choice between the burgundy velvet and the pale coffee lace I was asked to leave the shop! Apparently there was a fire alarm ringing and I hadn't even noticed. So I joined the stream of exiting shoppers from the mall - and didn't go back.
Was God trying to tell me something - like thou shalt not give your bank manager another heart attack?

Well hello BabyBlue!

Would the leather boots and lace thong and a bottle of champagne go any way towards assuaging your chagrin and ire?
Then again, you could go on being stern and masterful... :love:
