someone mentioned the Timothy Spall canal trip! so......... are we up for a virtual canal trip anyone? not sure if we can manage the whole "Leeds to Liverpool" but could try, anyone wanting to abandon ship could jump off at the next stop! if we havn't tied them to the rudder grin think we may need a few barges but we could tie them all together and have a Zip line to get from one to another! there may be some of you that are not keen on water, so you could run along side grin or whatever. ..I shall leave that thought with you all grin we will need plenty of supplies wine drinks, food etc, and plenty of pubs waterholes and wee toilet stops. the wearing of "mini skirts and stilettos" will be prohibited seeing as though we will be operating the locks and may need to be in certain positions ie leaning over or pushing..... and not to cause the oglers men folk distraction whilst visiting the villages.

Don't come the innocent with me Alie - don't forget I spent an evening with you at the Cavern, need I say more. grin

AlieOxon Sun 06-Apr-14 12:00:45

Up to? Moi?

NanKate Sun 06-Apr-14 11:47:32

I'm working on a new thread for us game old birds and will post in a week or so.

Off tomorrow for 4 days to Sussex - we are in charge of our 1 and 3 year old grandsons. To be honest they will be a dream in comparison with us rowdy lot on the barge.

I will take my Ipad so you I can still keep an eye on you and check what you are up to.

Thank you kate.

Yes tiggy you missed it (thinks at least you didn't see me)
I notice you don't remember the bus....

(When is the next party?
We do it better in the daytime.....)

So was I the only one to get on the mini bus and go home ? What are you all trying to tell me ?
At least I had a glass or two of non virtual wine last night !
Soooooooooooo sorry to have missed what sounded like a cracking ( !!) party in The Cavern. I always wanted to go there 50 years ago. Perhaps my time will come.

NanKate Sun 06-Apr-14 10:39:31

They've never had a pole snap before either Alie blush.

AlieOxon Sun 06-Apr-14 10:18:40

I'm fine. Pity about the table though

NanKate Sun 06-Apr-14 09:36:39

I don't think Alie that they had heard 'We'll be coming round the mountain when we come' at the Cavern before.

I must admit I was a bit surprised when you started pole dancing, hope you haven't done yourself an injury. wink

AlieOxon Sun 06-Apr-14 09:31:56

And your karaoke at the Cavern was great kate ...it's just that they didn't exactly expect you to join in - that's why we did too!

NanKate Sat 05-Apr-14 22:22:20

Yes fab evening and good company.

And no Bikergran there has been no shernanagins down below decks - the chef left hours ago saying he'd only been hired by you to cook up our supper, you would have to double his pay if we wanted him to reveal his bangers and mash. smile

I'm more into snuggling up in bed with my teddy and a good book these days!

AlieOxon Sat 05-Apr-14 21:05:22

'Oh what a night'....right era, wrong group, but that's it!

Wow. Meow. Let's go, we'll blow - goodnight!

bikergran Sat 05-Apr-14 20:56:36

ok it says..that if we want to get to sleep at night. we must not look at blue lights/watch tv in bedroom/play on computers/ipads etc and we should go to bed to do 2 things...one to sleep and one to blush well!! I am off to bed now to???? sleep grin
goodnight all sleep well..catch you tomorrow.moon moon

bikergran Sat 05-Apr-14 20:49:35

bikergran Sat 05-Apr-14 20:46:57

annodomini Sat 05-Apr-14 20:27:05

A new batch of vodka jellies coming right up. Don't eat them all at once. And Alie, that cat was behaving very oddly. I'm sure you've been supplementing her cat food with little tipples.

AlieOxon Sat 05-Apr-14 19:58:22

They're playing our tune.......a Hard Day's Night....let's rock'n'roll with some rolling rock - more vodka jellies pleasse!

bikergran Sat 05-Apr-14 19:49:48

NanKate Sat 05-Apr-14 19:49:36

Yes do come back Bikergran because it is your party.

NanKate Sat 05-Apr-14 19:47:22

Alie not Allie - it's those vodka jellies !

NanKate Sat 05-Apr-14 19:46:05

I'm with you Allie at the Cavern - I know all the words to the Beatles songs, but I can't tell you what I did last Monday !

A bit of a boogie, a few bevies and then back home after a great weekend. Who says us pensioners can't have fun ?

bikergran Sat 05-Apr-14 19:45:51

I am sat downstairs watching Ant n Dec on n off..(exciting stuff or what) whilst my mum and dad are sat sipping champagne in their caravan up on the coast Nr Morcambe lol hmmm!!
So may pop back here later and have a few wine wine trouble is! they will actualy be virtual ones as I havnt a drop of alcohol in the house! sad think GS left a few wine gums.maybe if I put 3 in my mouth at the same time I will get some effect! lol

AlieOxon Sat 05-Apr-14 17:53:36

ninathenana Sat 05-Apr-14 17:14:25

For those of you too pis*ed happy to notice the winner was Pineau De Re

bikergran Sat 05-Apr-14 17:10:37

hello all...just popped back in see how things are going GS gone back home now (lego star wars half built) so no money in they from the GNational..so no booze up tonight then!
hope popa wasn't to agitated. I left him with some butties and 4 vodka jellies.

I notice that when I was leaving the barge earlier. Someone had changed the outside bulb to a RED one and put up a sign!! "can't repeat what it said" but something about loose women being on the boat and looking for fun!! I removed it immediately of course grin cheeky things!! huh!

AlieOxon Sat 05-Apr-14 17:06:22

Yah boo sucks so there!

Bit of time travel - we could go back to the Cavern....
