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

gramps .....Nellie has returned! Best cancel the party and keep quiet about your goings on in the 50 grey hairs forum smile I'm off to lie low at Lilo Lil's back room and keep my head down grin

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

Pete and gramps If you both think for one moment that naughty nellie is oblivious to your recent shenanigans...think again! grin

nelliedeane Thu 28-Jun-12 12:09:20

They have been a pair of reprobates by the sound of it,I am making notes be warned am fulfilling my nursing duties at present,have learned how to administer an enema so pete and gramps better behave thank you all for your lovely comments missing you and my lovely soop enjoy your time with your wee manxxxxxxxxxlove u all

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.

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

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?

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!

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!

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

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

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

whenim64 Thu 28-Jun-12 18:50:35

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

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

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

You are our tenants!

Anagram Thu 28-Jun-12 19:29:45

Yes! The Shed is a privilege, not a right!

Jacey Thu 28-Jun-12 19:41:52

jeni shock Anagram shock ...I thought it was called 'Grandad's shed'? confused

Perhaps we should have 'The Lady's Summerhouse'? grin

jeni Thu 28-Jun-12 19:51:31

Yes. But we built it! I object to being patronised by either male or female GNers!
(give them an inch and they'll say it's 6") grin

Anagram Thu 28-Jun-12 20:04:22

Yes, you're right, Jacey! hmm

Perhaps it's we who shouldn't be here! That'll learn 'em! grin
Leave them to their own devices (or just vices!).

whenim64 Thu 28-Jun-12 20:11:36

Yes, the other threads can be on our terms if that's the grandads' rule! (how come all of a sudden, rules are being imposed?)

jeni Thu 28-Jun-12 20:14:29

If we can keep nellie off the thread, we could boycott it until they learn some respect for us gran's?

whitewave Thu 28-Jun-12 20:19:27

Blimey! Grandads - you seem to be treading on dangerous ground

Anagram Thu 28-Jun-12 20:25:46

nellie holds the key, though - will she show solidarity with us, or will her head be turned by the likes of gramps and Pete?
BTW, what's happened to Pompa?

jeni Thu 28-Jun-12 20:31:08

Quite. They will try to woo her with (probably false) promises of virtual drink and sex, and then leave her weeping with a virtual hangover when they get bored.

It is our duty to show nellie the wicked way these men have. She is obviously naive, the poor young innocent mite!

whenim64 Thu 28-Jun-12 21:00:03

Oh dear, we're in danger of being as oppressive as the behaviour we have complained about. Can't we call a truce and just start afresh with an agreement not to be patronising towards the female users on here? smile

jeni Thu 28-Jun-12 21:02:58

I'm happygrin with thatsmile
