Oooh, that felt good! I needed that! :happy: :happy: :happy:
Been away for a while myself so I just found out the wonderful news tonight - heartiest congratulations to you both!! Fantastic news. Honestly, you take your eye off the ball for a nanosecond (OK, a few months) and suddenly fecundity is everywhere.
And I bet some bugger's cleaned the GFZ fridge out off raspberry beer. Never mind - it's the company that counts. Hello guys, I've missed you.
Once you've got it in your head that she said fuck, it might be pretty difficult to hear it properly if she actually said muck. I had the same thing with the chorus of Rhinestone Cowboy for many years - where it says '...and offers coming over the phone, I thought it said 'old folks coming over the phone'. Eeww.
There's a garden here?! I guess now the nights are getting longer, these things emerge. We'll have to get our sausages out and have a barbie then.
In the meantime, I think I'll sit here and lose the use of my legs with the aid of some raspberry beer. Aaahhh.
So there's a toilet in this GFZ? You mean I didn't have to pee in MrFC's Stella bottles all this time?
Archangel, how wide is your sample?
LOL @ Arti! Sounds like Best In Show remade as an Ealing comedy set in Castle Blandings.
Bar steward! A foaming tankard of your finest Crummock's Old Acumenical!
Queen of puddings
Quince jelly
... and a Quarter of soor plooms.
All washed down with a Quart of Quintessentially English ale.
*takes deep breath*
Dusty Springfield, Curtis Mayfield, Prince, Hendrix, Abba, David Sylvian, The Clash, The Stranglers, Siouxsie and the Banshees, John Coltrane, Tallis, Vaugh Williams, Beethoven, Giovanni Gabrieli, John Blow, Schubert, Suede, Velvet Underground, Bowie, Planxty, Throbbing Gristle, Kraftwerk, early Human League, Joy Division, Scott Walker, Echo and the Bunnymen...
And Frankie Goes To Hollywood's version of Born To Run beats the tits off Springsteen's original (scurries off to find secure hiding place)
something for the weekend?
(Rocky, I think you'll find D I S C O was by Ottowan. IGMC.)
Hmmm.
Celine Dion walks into a bar. Bartender says, 'Why the long face?'
I told that to an American the other day, and she said, 'Oh, I get it - it's because she's Canadian, right?'
I'm still trying to figure out which is funnier.
Hey Anais, :welcome:
As you'll have noticed in other folk in these here parts, now you've tried it, you'll discover you like it. In no time flat you'll be fully addicted. Soon you'll find yourself filling your supermarket trolley with air freshener for the GFZ.
Note to the Sarge: redouble the guard. There may be trouble ahead.
Among my all-time faves have to be those Flake ads from the 70s. Phoarr.
Also the Pepsi ad from the same era (lipsmackin thirstquenchin acetastin highwalkin etc). I can't imagine why they don't put it out again, especially in these retro days of Starsky and Hutch fims and the like.
newbiestudent, remember the bard's words - "Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds." It sounds like it was a pretext rather than the real reason.
Still, as a general point, if anyone says completely out of the blue to their partner, 'Right, I'm going to start swinging,' it could be pretty undermining...
Fantastic! Guess the drawers! Do we guess DJohn's pants as well? Is he going to be a bunny in the Easter sense or the Girl sense?
How about Princes Street and its Gardens as a venue? It'll be nice and busy, plenty of punters.
Reallly looking forward to seeing you Saturday!
Not for me thanks either - I daren't even follow that link :shock:
MrFC - I think you hit it on the head, it would take all the spontaneity out of life. I just realised that as well as the fact that it would be very scary to find out it was soon, if it turned out I had another 60 years, I would get even lazier and more complacent than I am now...
*summons up effort to hit the 'submit' button*
Arti, congratulations all round! Grandad and grand poster, fantastic.
Also, while I'm about it - hi there Judy, nice to see you raising a glass to his Artiness there. You coming to the McMunch?
Many years ago, I saw one which seemed to have been left by some frustrated Romeo. It read:
'Lindsey wears 3 bras and seventy pairs of pants'
What an image.
