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

I think nellie may have competition in the form of the pub landlady, soop! That Pete's a bit of a dark horse on the quiet....hmm

soop Thu 21-Jun-12 12:33:03

Anagram...nellie will put Pete in solitary confinement when she gets wind of a rival...grin

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 12:38:17

And keeps his 'pistol' polished and presumably loaded? I trust he has a licence for it?grin

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 12:42:52

A licence to thrill...? grin

Ella46 Thu 21-Jun-12 12:56:00

I hope he keeps his pistol in its holster! grin Could give nellie a nasty shock!

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 13:02:26

Yes - especially if it goes off at half-cock...confused

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 13:13:30

Ladies, ladies! I think a little more decorum or we'll have GNHQ breathing down our necks!
We might also be deleted on grounds of sexism!

soop Thu 21-Jun-12 13:36:40

grin titter!

Pete Thu 21-Jun-12 13:39:58

grin

Grannylin Thu 21-Jun-12 13:40:24

.....or hoisted by his own petard grin

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 13:49:26

Has he got one? Pete do you have one?

Pete Thu 21-Jun-12 14:11:08

jeni do you mean a petard...don't think so and certainly wouldn't fancy being hoisted by it grannylin !! Could be nasty...Must remember not to mention my pistol on here again.... wink

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 14:15:54

What else would I mean?

nelliedeane Thu 21-Jun-12 14:22:50

Well the landlady who happens to be none other than my sister Lilo Lil...so I knew all about the shenanigans and the lock in,she said pete had been extremely boastful of his pistol,and would be extremely surprised if it was powerful enough to fire anything but blanks.
I do think my privates should be more choosy where they display and discharge their weapons....where is pte Gramps is he in the latrines again,,or attempting to raise the flagpole and fly the flag....The plot thickens

soop Thu 21-Jun-12 14:24:08

grin grin grin grin grin

Ella46 Thu 21-Jun-12 17:11:16

I hope gramps isn't trying to raise the flagpole in the latrines!

nelliedeane Thu 21-Jun-12 18:40:03

My friend George says that is not a good idea....he was arrested for that

gramps Thu 21-Jun-12 18:49:07

"A titter ran through the audience". Could this be the same incident?

gramps Thu 21-Jun-12 18:52:05

soop mentioned it earlier!

nelliedeane Thu 21-Jun-12 18:55:28

Handling swollen goods ?

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 18:56:27

Mumps?

Pete Thu 21-Jun-12 19:03:31

gramps is fine and dandy after flying the flag and having a kip...least that what the text he sent looked like smile Too wet for manouvers tonight so I said I will meet him at Lilo Lils for a game of pool later. No firearms only cues smile *nellie welcome up till closing time.....private party after time......grin

nelliedeane Thu 21-Jun-12 19:06:34

Don't think so....testes said so.....

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 19:18:41

You can't trust those testes, nellie hmm

nelliedeane Fri 22-Jun-12 08:54:45
