Of coure not Sean , after all, you've still got your trousers on and no-one has warmed the treacle, have they?

(let alone released the ants.........................)

SeanMc Wed 17-Oct-12 20:20:38

No 5 or is it no 3, I can't see straight. pete stop laughing. Is this some kind of initiation ceremony?

Anne58 Wed 17-Oct-12 20:17:41

Put everything you have into spinning it Sean a good downward thrust, release, and then voila!

Whichever number is at the top, will relate to the prize that you have won!

Careful now, you don't want to end up with the booby prize!

(Shut up Pete)

SeanMc Wed 17-Oct-12 20:16:35

Quick grab my ankles to slow me down.

SeanMc Wed 17-Oct-12 20:15:50

grin

Ana Wed 17-Oct-12 20:13:03

Give it a good yank!

SeanMc Wed 17-Oct-12 20:10:37

Not sure about this phoenix and pete warned me you're all as mad as hatters. Oh well, nothing ventured, fair heart never won faint lady. I'm gasping grasping, now what?

Anne58 Wed 17-Oct-12 20:03:00

Well, Sean I choose to ignore the comment re sobering up, as one was not at anytime inebriated (after all, it wasn't I who suddenly remembered that small people were awaiting collection, was it?)

However, be that as it may, you have a choice of prizes, in fact a choice between 5 in total. As you may have noticed, there is something new in the corner of the bar.

No, it not a temporary art installation by Damian Hirst, it is in fact......(Drum Roll Emoticon) our very own, for 1 night only, Spinning Prizometer! (Rapturous applause emoticon)

Now Sean, are you ready to step forward, grasp the handle and give it a good spin?

SeanMc Wed 17-Oct-12 19:49:39

Hi phoenix you sobered up then? I'm a modern man, very intuitive. What's my prize? wink

Pete Wed 17-Oct-12 19:49:12

See....mad as hatters!

SeanMc Wed 17-Oct-12 19:48:14

Get that diwn you and one for ana too (she drink pints?) and anyone else that's here. Let no one say that SeanMc is a Scrooge. Sláinte.

Anne58 Wed 17-Oct-12 19:46:56

Sean , you intuitive thing you! It was the "tell he is a man of" bit, that lead me "distinction" . Well done, you win!

Pete Wed 17-Oct-12 19:44:26

No..you've lost me there...thats normal for 'them' smile
Your round? Pint for me...grin

SeanMc Wed 17-Oct-12 19:38:10

Cheers pete I was getting worried feeling a bit outnumbered and not sure how to take all this talk of cherries and poles ambiguity.

Pete Wed 17-Oct-12 19:35:32

Ana Thank you for putting my mind at rest I was starting to worry. Imagined bowls of olives and that sort of bol thing being on the bar shock

Have one on me mate grin

Ana Wed 17-Oct-12 19:34:49

Oh no, you've got me at it now, phoenix, but I bet it's not the same one! (Mine's by Sandy Shaw)

SeanMc Wed 17-Oct-12 19:34:33

Big spender?

Anne58 Wed 17-Oct-12 19:31:46

Oh here we go again, I'm off one of songs, this only happens when song type phrases are used, and this time it's your fault Sean , I would have thought better, you being a newbie etcetera!

Now, can you guess, based on Seans post up there which song I'm about to wrap myself round a pole to start singing?

A special prize to the first one who gets it right!

SeanMc Wed 17-Oct-12 19:31:02

Acting on 'information received' I've steamed the label off the empty bottle (yes all gone) and underneath - Aldi!!! Naturally being a man of great taste and sophistication had I been able to sample even one small I would have instantly noticed the inferior quality. Sadly phoenix downed the whole bottle.

SeanMc Wed 17-Oct-12 19:24:16

Guessing that's the champers gone then pheonix if you're having to prop yourself up? Didn't mean to leave you alone at the altar bar, but see that you had gramps to meet your needs. I can tell he is a man of em..em..many parts. No that makes him sound like a scrap metal yard. Help me here gramps.

Ana Wed 17-Oct-12 19:13:49

You know jolly well it wasn't Moet, Pete - it was a bottle of that dodgy lot of Asti Spumante gramps purloined acquired from Aldi the other day. He's got quite a cottage industry going on with his fake labels in his secret corner of the cellar! hmm

Pete Wed 17-Oct-12 19:10:38

Your quite right gramps The "Republic of Mancunia" is,as you say, posherer than most places !!
I notice the laydees have had a quick nosey visit knowing the football was on!
phoenix has already started talkin posh....ones elbow!!?? Moet...in Lils?? it's all going down hill Lil!

Pint for me please...before it turns into a 'Wine Bar'......How's your back Ella fancy a game of pool?...

gramps Wed 17-Oct-12 18:35:29

'Ang around wiv us fer a bit, an' see wot yer finks!
Cheers! on me! brew

Anne58 Wed 17-Oct-12 17:02:52

By resting ones elbow on the arm of a suitable chair, it should be possible to sip ones drink by a very small movement of the wrist?

I'll just go and test this theory, after all it's dangerous to give advice without research to back it up.................

jeni Wed 17-Oct-12 16:39:09

Even drinking means exercising the elbow! You can get tennis and golfer s elbow from that?
