pete Pete PETE wake up have you been in that ditch all night......come and see what Ive found...

Patrick Mcginty an Irish man of note,
Fell into a fortune and bought himself a goat......

Pete Tue 19-Jun-12 10:03:52

Nellie I'm sure Paddy and the goat will be very happy, I now smell like a goat, after over night stay in the ditch, so its a shower for me..... grin

soop Tue 19-Jun-12 10:09:18

Glory be...Pete you've no excuse for finding yourself in a deep ditch. I told you to beware of that little tinker boots nellie - keep well away from the shed. If she corners you...I cannot be held responsible for the outcome wink grin

nelliedeane Tue 19-Jun-12 11:19:59

Serves him right for creeping up on me mid manouvres I seem to remember a few days ago he promised not to approach me from behind.....

Said pat to himself of goats milk I'll have me fill
But when he bought the nanny home
He found it was a Bill........

Pete Tue 19-Jun-12 16:25:14

No excuse soop but I never approached her behind smile Will heed your advice in future....off for a beer before the match, should be safe there! grin

soop Tue 19-Jun-12 16:28:46

You're slowly but surely getting the message, Pete. Enjoy your beer and the match. Cheers! [or as we say in Scotland, slainte!]

nelliedeane Tue 19-Jun-12 19:03:51

Now all the young ladies who live in a killahoo
Are all wearing bustles like their mothers used todo
They each wear a bolster beneath their petticoat
And leave the rest to providence ..
And paddy mcginty's goat.....

Mind the ditch on the way home whilst out on manouvres I spotted a disturbance in the undergrowth....

I have told you not to creep up behind me...you walk in front with the torch...er have you decided to keep me company....if so we better have some rations...what are you bringing...oh and you gotta where camouflages......privates on parade grin

soop Wed 20-Jun-12 16:45:16

Pete...here she goes...nellie wants you in uniform. Now there'll be no stopping her. Insist on your own sleeping bag. Ask her to taste any rations before she shares with you. Wouldn't put it past her to add some drowsy-making ingredients. And, watch out for Donald. He can play rough. I look forward to catching up first thing in the morning. grin

Pete Wed 20-Jun-12 16:52:20
