I am waiting for my GS to visit, haven't seen him for 2 weeks so looking forward to seeing his smiley happy face.

Its snowing here in London, I live opposite a Park and it looks so beautiful.

Marelli Sat 23-Mar-13 19:11:27

Looked at that, Elegran. He was a foul one, indeed.
I bet that lunch-time play was a good one, baubles - we don't get things like that over in the sticks of Fife. envy

Thanx my lovely friends. ....was asked why I wanted to work confused.

Galen Sat 23-Mar-13 20:14:25

Oh dear! Is everyone down?
I blame the weather mainly

I know, let's move GN to a tropical isle!
I'll organise it if anyone wants.
Imagine, white sand, green coconut palms, blue sea.
Pete the man organising his tropical bat, a balmy breeze ruffling his flowing locks.
All of us in hula skirts dancing topless in the tropical surf!
Here am I, your special island, come to me ,come tome!

Galen Sat 23-Mar-13 20:15:43

Should be bar. My iPad insists they're batmen or bar persons! Too pc by half!

Ana Sat 23-Mar-13 20:16:41

Like the sound of Pete's tropical bat Galen! wink

Smoluski Sat 23-Mar-13 20:22:05

Marelli Sat 23-Mar-13 20:26:24

Oo-er, Ana!! Book me a place on the island, Galen...not sure about me being topless in a hula skirt....maybe if I can use a couple of coconut shells? I'll only need small ones....blush

Galen Sat 23-Mar-13 20:29:08

That's me gal!

Ok laydees form a line.
Start undulating those hips and shaking those knockers coconut shells!

Ana Sat 23-Mar-13 20:30:28

Think I'll need a hammock for mine! confused

Marelli Sat 23-Mar-13 20:34:59

OH! - she wears red feathers and a huli-huli skirt...la la la (can't remember the rest - thankfully)! Was it Guy Mitchell that sang that?

Ana Sat 23-Mar-13 20:36:12

'She lives on fresh coconuts and fish from the sea....'

annodomini Sat 23-Mar-13 20:38:23

I'm singing along: she lives on just coconuts and fish from the sea
A rose in her hair a gleam in her eye
And love in her heart for me...
la..la.. lala..la!

Marelli Sat 23-Mar-13 20:41:02

'And - something, something, something, something, love in her heart for me!'
I knew I could remember the rest! grin

Marelli Sat 23-Mar-13 20:41:59

Oops! confused grin

Galen Sat 23-Mar-13 20:47:59

Did you trip over a conch shell Marelli? I do hope ursula undress isn't going to invade!

Galen Sat 23-Mar-13 20:48:59

Piña colada anyone?

Elegran Sat 23-Mar-13 20:49:01
