How many Grandads do we have and are they happy to be asked things? Step forward lads!

jeni Thu 28-Jun-12 19:27:57

You are our tenants!

Pete Thu 28-Jun-12 19:22:32

While the cats away anagram..... smile Right fresh start when...... One thing to remember, 'Our Shed, Our Rules' ! grin

It's starting to feel rather uncomfortable round here with all these 'gents' patronising the 'gels.' How about a fresh start, you men? smile

Anagram Thu 28-Jun-12 18:34:20

Yes - none of your patronising man-talk in here, if you don't mind, gramps! Look at the trouble you and Pete get into without nellie to keep you in order....hmm

jeni Thu 28-Jun-12 18:26:59

These ladies do NOT need "looking after"
It's normally the men who need it![cross]

gramps Thu 28-Jun-12 17:44:57

Good morrow to you Ichabod6, Sir. (We like to be polite to "newbees".

Come in and help us look after the Ladies.

Take your shoes off - they are very fussy about GETTING DOG POO ON the Axminster!

gramps Thu 28-Jun-12 16:51:50

Hiya Pete,
Where did Andy spring from. Was he hiding beneath "Big Jean", the urn?
What was Nell bending over? Backwards?

Must go to see how the story is progressing!

ichabod6 Thu 28-Jun-12 16:43:38

i'm a grandad who is new on here
and I like to drink pints of good beer
Is this a wine bar I've found?
Or are others around
who drink beer and stout and strong ales
and single malt whiskey and eat meat pies
and chip butties?

Pete Thu 28-Jun-12 15:16:55

Well done gramps that should do it. Lots of ladies in the 'lounge' at Lils today, keep hearing high-pitched screams and cries of "Come on Andy"....puts you off the darts. Oh and if you see nellie dont be bending over !! ..... grin

gramps Thu 28-Jun-12 14:03:54

Oh dear Nelly
I see you're a bit of a poet,
There is wit there,and we know it.

So glad to have you back,
Pete and I have missed your whack!

We really are good lads you know,
To Ladies all, our affection show!

We try to share a merry jest,
To ease the probs. upon your chest!

At DIY I'm not too good,
But you should see my "bodge'd" wood.

soop Thu 28-Jun-12 11:08:40

Pete Thu 28-Jun-12 10:58:12

soop Thu 28-Jun-12 10:41:44

nelliedeane Thu 28-Jun-12 00:06:50

gramps a rhyme for you from me
There was a man called Ghandi
Who into the pub for a shandy
He picked up his loin cloth
To wipe off the froth
And Lilo Lil said
blimey that's 'andy

nelliedeane Thu 28-Jun-12 00:02:29

gramps Wed 27-Jun-12 22:34:38

jeni Wed 27-Jun-12 22:02:51

Only if he satisfies my desires?

Anagram Wed 27-Jun-12 22:01:48

Night, jeni (I hope you're not propositioning Pete confused)

jeni Wed 27-Jun-12 21:49:45

I'm tired!
Work tomorrow!
Champagne would be lovely to come home to!
Forget the extras
Just the caviar which I adore!

Night all!

gramps Wed 27-Jun-12 21:30:24

ANAGRAM - a name within which to conjure,
I fail even with kiddies crosswords plain,
Me poor old mind's a-wander.

Anagram Wed 27-Jun-12 21:25:23

My post was in reply to yours, jeni - for the avoidance of doubt! hmm

gramps Wed 27-Jun-12 21:20:05

There once was a young fella called Clem
Who tatood on his head with a pen
when his friends asked him "why?"
He replied with a sigh
"I thought it would help me learn ZEN"!

Anagram Wed 27-Jun-12 21:08:43

Quite right too!
