How many Grandads do we have?

Thanks for the info Ella. It's not in our Radio Times, but I have it on DVD anyway!

matronIs on duty all hours Gramps but she does have ward rounds to do so if you leave your question she will get back to you as soon as she has finished ministering to the poorly

matron I came over all dizzy and unwell on monday and had to take to me bed...... (think it maybe 'football finished' related)...anyway if you could see your way clear to make a home visit....I only need snacks, beer and help to freshen up...would have asked Lil but you know....

Now pete as you know each to their own trade lil is a bar person and I am a member of the medical profession.
All of those things you WANT do not count as NEED....suggest you take yourself in hand and deal with anything arising from this particular problemxxx matron

[ grin ]

Oh my goodness - haven't looked on here for a while! Mmmmm.

It's that Nellie and Pete you know!

Sounds like good advice matron and I hope you don't mind but after a 2nd opinion....Lil said she was somewhat of an expert in this particular problem and would pop round after closing time...Hope she brings the snacks...

nellie do you think we ought to have a thread
Ex convent girls unite!
You have nothing to lose but your rosaries?

* jeni* I think that would be a good idea,but I wouldn't be able to contribute as I am not an ex convent girl...but would love to hear the tales of what went on I have heard that the young ladies who attend these schools can be quite racy....although I don't qualify academically my dear old mum was a highly esteemed cleaner at the local Ursuline convent does that count she had some good stories that she overheard...

pete hope Lil brings you a tasty titbit for your supper I did pass the message on you that were not feeling yourself,as a person who is often under her doctor she feels your pain she may be of some help to you as she has been asking me about the relief of pressure sores,I have given her a large bottle of surgical spirit to rub the affected parts...however it is highly flammable so you will have to refrain from emitting any little trouser coughs in case you should self combust.....matron

Nellie I'm back...and so looking forward to catching up with all your antics. Loads of washing to do. Wimbles to watch. And then I'm back to tell you all about my trip. I've missed you.

I'm laughing very loudly. Mr soop wonders why! Pete and naughty Matron nellie your antics are the best tonic ever. Please continue to keep us entertained.

soop my lovely really good to have you back hope you had a good time with wee man..
matron is here to answer any queries and share any gossip you may be aparty too

Naughtypete has been quite good since he had to take himself in hand and gramps has diss appeared completelyxxxx

No he hasn't nellie!
He pops up all over the place these days!

Apparently gramps reckons he has got past puberty.(I've got my doubts!)

nellie Lil turned up with a bottle of vodka !! (so much for surgical spirit) and has nursed me back to full health by showing me several new positions to relieve the pressure sores.

Good ole LIL has always been dogged in her attempts to raise the dead...glad it worked for you I always think vodka has such restorative properties that it should be available on prescription.
Now as a member of the nursing profession I have always believed in a hands on approach,and with LIL this also comes naturally to her,which is why she excels at the other oldest profession in the world.....she is sitting on a gold mine..

Thanks nag andjeni have seen gramps confession of being a born again virgin...

OH Nellie Dean, The pipes the pipes are withering,
O'er many years are withering away - go on Nell. You know the tune,

Whatever would our dear Matron have to say!

I gotta go home to bed now Dear Ladies. ----No whispering behind my back now!

TTFN

Well * gramps* you know the saying many a good tune played on an old fiddle,I am sure that must also apply to an organ whose pipes are furry....use it or lose it is Lil's motto,I am sure she has a remedy for descaling elderly furry pipes [grin ]

nellie thanks for bringing a to my day. You are a real treasure.
