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

I'm learning to use my Dragon. It is a lot more intelligent than I am!
AND - It has finished its electrocution lessons!

Oldjohn Sat 08-Sept-12 00:36:28

Can I borrow your dragon . I need a light for my cigar.

Littlenellie Sat 08-Sept-12 09:16:00

gramps and oldjohn glad you have met....Lil will be pleased ..

gramps my other half has used dragon as his is severely dyslexic,with some strange results,it dosent always detect regional accents,and if your accent is like mine..cockney and OH Essex the results are hilarious,when he was doing his course work for college he gave up with it,it was easier to give the work to me to type

Hmm could imagine Lil saying " is that a dragon in your pocket, or just a lot of loose change" wink

gramps Sat 08-Sept-12 09:59:36

Oh Lil,
I'm almost a cockney, born in St. Thomas' Hospital.
Mrs. G lived in East Ham. Near Upton Park. Weat Ham team home!
I lived in Kennington, other side of main road to Lambeth Walk!

No wonder we get on so well! flowers

Me loose change has slipped through the hole in my pocket. It's that Confucious' fault - too big hands!

soop Sat 08-Sept-12 13:30:31

gramps is it too much to expect that you'll not lead dear Oldjohn into bad habits? Thought not...grin

Ella46 Sat 08-Sept-12 15:03:43

Please will someone tell me what a dragon is? I'm agog!

Has anyone seen Pete this week, he seems to have sloped off , and I fear that Lil may have him tied up somewhere for her own amusement?!
The cellar door is either locked or Lil's jammed it shut with her liberty bodice again!

I'm determined not to Google dragon! I want to continue to imagine it as a rather stern creature who is not only doing gramps' typing for him, but also giving him (strict) elocution lesson! grin

soop Sat 08-Sept-12 15:53:08

I love popping into this bar...always assured of a chuckle. Better than any tonic. grin

gramps Sat 08-Sept-12 18:44:36

My Dragon is gradually getting used to me, but keeps adding words that I didn't say!
Of course he is still very young!
He picks up things from the "telly" too, so we have to be carefull what we let him hear!!

gramps Sat 08-Sept-12 18:51:11

Hi there Oldjohn. Nice to have you aboard.
Of course, you realise that you have to be a bit zany to last on here!
Treat the girls, er, sorry, Ladeeys with charm and respect - it gives 'em a thrill. They don't always get it at home, poor dears, so we try to make it up for them - if you get my drift!

Anagram Sat 08-Sept-12 19:01:01

Watch it gramps! None of your chauvinistic ways in here, thank you! hmm

Anagram Sat 08-Sept-12 19:01:46

We may have to send Lil round to 'have a word'.....grin

Ella46 Sat 08-Sept-12 19:10:08

gramps I never get it at home!! grin

Ella46 Sat 08-Sept-12 19:14:44

I've googled it now! gramps are you Stephen Hawking really?

Anagram Sat 08-Sept-12 19:15:36

Too much information, Ella! You don't want to give 'em ideas....wink

Nonu Sat 08-Sept-12 19:32:26

Chauvinistic, what a an old fashioned word , thought it went out with the 80"s, still depends on one"s mind set ! smile

Oldjohn Sat 08-Sept-12 19:51:52

A huge thank you to all for welcoming me to your forum.

Anagram Sat 08-Sept-12 19:57:54

Ooh! Nonu! I think you'll find it's still used these days, when warranted.

Nonu Sat 08-Sept-12 20:03:57

As in male chauvinistic pig , very eighties one has to move forward , can"t stay mired in the past !

Ella46 Sat 08-Sept-12 20:10:58

Oldjohn Just make sure you don't fall over too often in here!
You do seem to be a bit of a lush rather fond of a tipple or two,and Pete and gramps will lead you astray if they can!
grin

Anagram Sat 08-Sept-12 20:18:03

What are you on about Nonu?

Ella you're right, Pete has been missing for a while now and it's not like him to pass up on Eighties Night at Lil's! Have you checked the back passage? hmm

Nonu Sat 08-Sept-12 20:28:04

only 3 more sleeps

Being mired in the eighties , one has to move on , it is now 2012 anagram

Anagram Sat 08-Sept-12 20:43:47

Oh, how could we forget.....hope your holiday puts you in a better mood, Nonu.

Nonu Sat 08-Sept-12 21:02:51

Thats good u don"t forget , when is your next holiday ? me i am in an excellent frame of mind , why wouldn"t i be ?? smile

Anagram Sat 08-Sept-12 21:13:41

Oh, goodness, I have so many holidays I can't keep track - I might even be on one now! It's all go, isn't it?
