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

Never mind, Pete, only four months to go!
(Until Christmas, that is....)

Littlenellie Mon 20-Aug-12 11:27:12

Then you can roast your chestnuts pull your cracker,stuff your bird,and see as many stockings as you like.....bah humbug..

Pete Mon 20-Aug-12 11:46:18

Counting the days...... grin

Hey Nellie, My DD has just come back from doing Route 66 and if you look on my profile page there's a picture Lil might like to hang above her bar. Cheers! grin

Anagram Mon 20-Aug-12 16:11:55

It's uncanny, merlot....shock

soop Mon 20-Aug-12 16:14:16

Love it, merlot.

Littlenellie Tue 21-Aug-12 00:08:28

Hey what's LIls bar doing on route 66 ....that is exactly in my minds eye,how Lils love shack would be merlot grin

Ella46 Tue 21-Aug-12 10:39:29

That's great merlot Funny but it's just how I imagine Lil's to be too!

Anagram Tue 21-Aug-12 11:22:01

Hmm...I wonder how Lil would feel about adding pizza to the menu? Tripe and onion topping, perhaps?

merlotgran Tue 21-Aug-12 16:51:57

Good business woman, our Lil. Her large beer herb garden is so productive she has had to open a drug store grin wink

Anagram Tue 21-Aug-12 17:05:22

I hear she's making a fortune selling pot plants to the locals....

Pete Tue 21-Aug-12 22:51:43

I wonder if gramps is heading there........

Anagram Tue 21-Aug-12 22:57:53

I think that's what sent him to rehab the Retreat for Retired Gentlemen Pete! (as well you know - all those forages down Lil's back passage to the herb garden were, you must admit, instigated by your good self...) hmm

Littlenellie Wed 22-Aug-12 10:39:07

Lil said would you please stop debating wether her back passage was the route to gramps decline after his numerous attempts to find the pleasure gardens,and ultimately Nirvana,now as you know anywhere as moist and damp as a back passage can only produce fungi and Lil said gramps was definitely a funguy,and they both enjoyed feasting on his magic mushroom,and Lil being a big girl was able to provide as mushroom as gramps needed for his experimental ways,the herbs in question are no more than a few manky lavender sachets from mothers drawers to keep you away from her secret garden to which gramps accidentally fell head first into that night,and to stop the cats peeing round her gate.
Lil would like to express she misses her lively old soldier,and his practised methods of marital arts of which he is a black belt once removed,and looks forward to his return so they can order take away pizza...a 12" meat feast is their favourite with an extra portion of mushrooms,a side order of onion rings,and a corn on the cob,delivered by the nice man on the pop pop bike...pete I hear they have a vacancy for a pizza delivery person if you are interested,and they can continue to look through gramps books on the militaria and ,exclaim at the sizes of the weapons of mass destruction,and nuclear warheads,their favourite dads army repeats and his ageing collection of dandy and beans....

soop Wed 22-Aug-12 11:19:11

Littlenellie You're sense of humour is priceless grin

soop Wed 22-Aug-12 11:21:02

I meant to type your not the other...jJust in case the pedants are watching and ready to pounce wink

Anagram Wed 22-Aug-12 11:27:52

I like the idea of gramps having an ageing collection of dandy and beans...grin

Littlenellie Wed 22-Aug-12 12:37:49

Yes that was a typo but he could add beans to his armoury,to blow away the enemy and Lils cobwebs that have gathered in the interim..

Littlenellie Wed 22-Aug-12 12:41:35

I might add that Lil has remaind faithful so I think it might be a match made in heaven,and an unlikely meeting of body and mind.....

Anagram Wed 22-Aug-12 12:42:06

That's what I thought, nellie. I imagined them fermenting in a corner somewhere, ready to be called to action at any time....

Littlenellie Wed 22-Aug-12 12:42:20

We might have to start looking at hats...

Anagram Wed 22-Aug-12 12:44:08

I'm getting confused here! Who has Lil remained faithful to? Is it Pete or gramps? Or both? grin

Littlenellie Wed 22-Aug-12 12:45:24

Will just add an extra something to the ambience,and the action,so much so that I think I should be looking at PJ's with go faster stripes,to match gramps gold medal achievments in the horizontal jogging Olympics...

soop Wed 22-Aug-12 12:51:53

...not forgetting Pete's runners-up medal in the duck'n'dive...and that was out of the pool!

soop Wed 22-Aug-12 12:53:05

Fifi won the gold in that event. She hasn't been able to sit comfortably ever since...
