Manure?

I used to like spotted dick with custard,but a bloke I knew , had a spotted dick with ointment, So I guess that's not the same thing? (confused]
Ask Lil.She may,kmow!

jeni our Lil has always been a lady of effluence,and she can put it on her roses around the outside lav.

gramps Lil says your friend got his just desserts....in future keep his desserts to himself...

If in need of a broad, cheeky grin I cannot do better than read about the latest hankipankies at Lil's. Nellie you should be a copywriter. You're such fun. sunshine

Have just spoken to Mr. Syberia. He may join............don't know if he will call himself Mr. Syberia though!!!

soop Wed 11-Jul-12 14:28:29

syberia ...Naughty nellie needs all the men she can get. Beware! She'll turn his head. smile

jeni Wed 11-Jul-12 14:31:53

So long as that's all she turns!

Yes it's true there are a few 'granddads' on here but if they are all like myself it is a question of finding the time between rock climbing, hand gliding and body building as to when to address the world problems on gransnet.

HAND GLIDING[shocked]

syberia Wed 11-Jul-12 14:53:31

jeni don't be shocked, he is not best at spelling!!!

jeni Wed 11-Jul-12 14:54:46

Oh! It's a typo is it? I thought it was reference to the sin of Oman(sp)

nelliedeane Wed 11-Jul-12 14:55:10

He might mean hang gliding jeni if not must be down to gramps ointment....wonder if he is a friend of *gramps [ grin]

jeni Wed 11-Jul-12 14:55:48

Should be ONAN!

TrickyDay Wed 11-Jul-12 15:01:48

for all those that noticed the typo. It should of read (of course) han glidding which of course is a version of origami used to produce aeronautical shapes from paper.

soop Wed 11-Jul-12 15:06:01

Tricky grin

jeni Wed 11-Jul-12 15:10:01

If you believe that? grin good start and well chosen name Tricky!
(we had a budgie with name tricky, he was green agoraphobic and named after Nixon!

TrickyDay Wed 11-Jul-12 15:20:45

Thanks for that jeni. You can never have too many Tricky days. Not so sure about too many tricky dickies though.

soop Wed 11-Jul-12 15:22:19

jeni love budgie's name. grin
Tricky...yay! like your name. 'Though I can't help but think...'Tricky Dicky'...seems to trip off the tongue more readily.

jeni Wed 11-Jul-12 15:28:22

Nellie's the expert on tricky dickies

soop Wed 11-Jul-12 15:34:36

You said it, jeni...she graduated with dishonours

gramps Wed 11-Jul-12 16:42:03

Hi Tricky,
Origami paper very expensive. Good tissue paper ok, but challenging, especially watching out for the perforations when unrolling! "Bronco" is one that springs to mind!

jeni Wed 11-Jul-12 16:43:42

Izal sanitised. Government property

nelliedeane Wed 11-Jul-12 17:11:01

Think Hand gliding sounds much more fun...and right up our Lils street grin

gramps Wed 11-Jul-12 17:41:58

Hand gliding sounds inspirational.
In my youth I think it was not known as such, and was often customary to receive a swift rebuff - unless you were lucky! blush
