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 14:54:46

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

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

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

jeni Wed 11-Jul-12 14:49:16

HAND GLIDING[shocked]

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.

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

So long as that's all she turns!

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

syberia Wed 11-Jul-12 14:26:05

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

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

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...

gramps Wed 11-Jul-12 02:07:51

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 Tue 10-Jul-12 19:15:32

Manure?

nelliedeane Tue 10-Jul-12 19:00:23

Definitely something hot and steaming jeni ...

jeni Tue 10-Jul-12 18:38:53

Not roly poly?

nelliedeane Tue 10-Jul-12 18:32:00

Spotted Dick with custard is my favourite.....I am afraid I don't know Lils choice of desert but would think it would be something along those lines.....grin

Pete Tue 10-Jul-12 17:41:37

nellie your always welcome to visit...in fact Lils on her way, with a few roast dinners (with afters), as we speak. anagram miscreants maybe...but not elderly !! gramps is 'mature and I'm still a young buck grin grin

Anagram Tue 10-Jul-12 17:32:11

Oh, good - I was a bit concerned about their tiny stipends!

nelliedeane Tue 10-Jul-12 17:22:19

Lils pub * mooning on the square*I believe is affiliated to the shed and as you quite rightly say the licencees are GNHQ but they they leave the hiring and firing to Lil and her choice of brewery hence the real ales that she sells.
members of the clergy frequent her establishment which is honoured in her choice of ale as she is closely intimate with a lot of their members...
She makes their stipends stretch a lot more..as a result the clergy are able to spread themselves a lot more freely around the parish and give of themselves wholeheartedly and without prejudice or discrimination..although uptake at the special clinic has increased significantly.......

jeni Tue 10-Jul-12 17:13:37

Not after 1 sept this year they don't. And anyway you can evict them with a court order. I think the bill was passed in may this year.

Anagram Tue 10-Jul-12 17:08:06

I think 'squatters' rights' must still exist, jeni - you still can't get them out of your home if they move in!

jeni Tue 10-Jul-12 17:04:55

Ah! But to claim 'squatters rights'( which I don't think exist anymore) they have to claim title to the land with land registry.
I do wonder how the civil servants at the land registry would feel about granting title to virtual land?

nelliedeane Tue 10-Jul-12 17:03:08

Actually pete shed delivery service translates as meals on wheels grin

nelliedeane Tue 10-Jul-12 17:01:43

Do bailiffs wear uniforms [hmmm]

Anagram Tue 10-Jul-12 16:58:01

Oops! A couple too many there! blush
