I've been asked to pass on a message by soop:

"Nel will be waiting at Lil's Bar tomorrow. I'll get there 2-ish."

soop can't tell you this herself, though she would like to. I'm the go-between smile

So what happened to the tripe and onions? shock

Ella46 Wed 08-Aug-12 22:21:29

I'll have a look at the toilets after I've finished this very large G&T, and if I don't like the look of them....well I'm not doing them and I don't care what that Anagram says, 'cos she's not in charge here!
I'd sniff but I'm too near to the gents!

Littlenellie Wed 08-Aug-12 22:13:10

Bowl under the sink contains gramps long johns.. Complete with sani flap opening on the gusset...not to be mistaken with tripe and onions...both highly noxious......

Pete Wed 08-Aug-12 21:04:45

Happy Birthday Soop Slainte...Cheers....and as your in the chair mines a ...pint! grin..xx

gramps Wed 08-Aug-12 19:54:33

Anagram and Ella.
Mrs. Grsamps was not highly amused by the
slanderous remarks re. her cooking, and if I dared to agree I'd be on starvation diet for the next twelve months! angry
She added, that I have survived it for the last 57yrs.!!

(Between you, me and the gatepost, Mrs G hates tripe and onions and has NEVER made it! The only tripe she tolerates is mine, 'cos she loves me really!) wink smile

Anagram Wed 08-Aug-12 19:09:14

No need to apologise, Ella not that you were, really.
You're still on Toilet Duties though! because I'm b****ered if I'm doing them - especially the gents!

Ella46 Wed 08-Aug-12 19:05:26

Oh Ana I'm so sorry that's what she thinks, it must have been a glitch in the computer, I would never insult you!

Not much anyway wink

Anagram Wed 08-Aug-12 17:41:57

It was a huffy sniff in both cases, jeni! (Ella thought I hadn't noticed her badly-crossed-out insult! hmm)
I'll get Lil to put her on Toilet Cleaning Duties for a week....that'll sort her out grin

jeni Wed 08-Aug-12 17:31:54

anagram have you got a cold? That's two threads I've glanced at and you're sniffing on both?

Ella46 Wed 08-Aug-12 17:17:35

What can I say, his wife is a rotten cook? (Sorry Mrs gramps) wink

Anagram Wed 08-Aug-12 17:12:13

Well, Ella [sniff] gramps has been enjoying the dishcloths then....

Ella46 Wed 08-Aug-12 16:13:45

Ana that isn't tripe and onions, that's the dirty bar cloths that green left soaking!
The tripe and onions is in the old dog bowl under the sink!
Don't know how you could have made that mistake! Silly old bat

Anagram Wed 08-Aug-12 15:28:39

Sounds absolutely wonderful, soop! Glad you're having a good day. smile
(Which is more than can be said for us lot slaving over a hot bar with no customers and no sign of that green since a week last Whenever! If you see her, tell her the pig bucket's in need of another batch of tripe and onion - the lot she made last month's getting a bit whiffy, although gramps doesn't seem to mind.....confused)

soop Wed 08-Aug-12 15:09:22

Ana and Gramps...you're too kind. Thanks for the Champers. I'll share it with you all later. Having a lovely, sunny birthday. Special card hand-made with the use of "proper scissors" from the wee man, together with a copy of his gold medal award for 'Balance Beam' at the nursery games. He scored a silver in the 'Bean Bag Race' and made a stirling effort in the 'Hoop Jump' and 'Ball Toss'. Items for my treasure box. Enjoyed our lunch and had a glass of delicious wine. Pinot wotsit to be opened later. Slainte! wine

gramps Tue 07-Aug-12 18:01:04

Dear Soopy,
All very best wishes for a fantastic birthday!!
Have a large "Champers" on me!( Hands over a cyber £28 note.-made earlier today!)
Also a "Grampy" hug and xxxxx
(I'm only 10yrs. ahead of you!) grin

Anagram Tue 07-Aug-12 17:56:22

We'll get the bunting out, soop! smile
(although it might need a bit of a wash after the Jubilee shennanigans....hmm)

soop Tue 07-Aug-12 17:39:55

Just dropping in to Lil's for a last "I am only 70" visit...OldGreyMare and I share the same birthday tomorrow. I'm still just a wee girl [inside my head] and would like to say, the drinks are on me tomorrow. Is there room in the honesty box for one more I.O.U? wink

soop Tue 07-Aug-12 16:52:13

Pete and Gramps ...You are incorrigible [but we like you that way] grin

gramps Tue 07-Aug-12 15:54:47

Pete, don't let the girls know, but at at one time I played ping pong each lunch time. My serves were feared for their ferocious slices and spins.
Sometimes I even won!
It were called "table tennis" in my days! grin
let's 'ave a get to gether, an' I'll show you a few tricks. (fouls, I thinks they was called!) wink

Pete Tue 07-Aug-12 14:39:24

Cheers gramps but I'll take my chances in my Matalan shorts.
Just how athletic is ping-pong ? just hit it back...less exercise than pool and darts grin
ella Jess replied and said she may be available in Feb 2052...hope you have better luck wink

gramps Tue 07-Aug-12 13:36:23

Watch out Pete, with the two "hot totties" turning up. Your balls are highly flammable!.
I suggest that you pinch a large plastic bag from Nellie's knicker drawer, wear them trousers with the "Poachers pockets" wot you nicked off old Tom Poachers clothes line. Secure the large plastic bag inside the pocket, and fill it with water, then the balls will be kept cool, and out of harms way.grin
Check that the improvised pocket is waterproof BEFORE filling with water and wearing ! I don't want any more aspersions to my presumed incontinence! blush

soop Tue 07-Aug-12 13:21:13

Ana That's sooooooo funny... grin

Anagram Tue 07-Aug-12 13:19:27

Soop, I know you didn't mention them - but they have big ears, and if they thought they were in with a chance I wouldn't put anything past them! Ella, I don't think they actually realise that they're not athletic types. They probably think darts and pool is close enough.....hmm

soop Tue 07-Aug-12 13:12:51

Ana Neither Ella nor I mentioned Gramps and Pete. Best that those two keep their long-johns on. hmm

Ella46 Tue 07-Aug-12 13:11:20

I did say athletic types Ana, surely they wouldn't think........?
