shock

You could try voltarol for the stiffness. If the adverts are to be believed, you would then be able to lift quite heavy small children, and play tennis, even if you couldn't before!

(I think it's a bit like some ladies requisites that suddenly enable you to roller skate)

Pete Mon 15-Oct-12 13:09:24

phoenix The last thing I need is a ghost in the house! confused
If one of you laydees was 'laid up' I would be around in a flash offering fruit,plenty of liquids and a relaxing massage wink....but you lot would rather stay drinking and being merry instead of helping a fellow human suffering from 'man flu'....I can feel the stiffness starting now....but you lot just carry on dont bother about me....... hmm

Ana Mon 15-Oct-12 13:05:05

It can't be sent, because it just comes up as being an invalid nickname....sad

Anne58 Mon 15-Oct-12 12:37:50

Ana I haven't actually volunteered to deliver or apply a poultice, I was just indicating that one might be needed!

Surely someone could pm nellie from one of her posts? That should automatically reach her email inbox, shouldn't it?

soop Mon 15-Oct-12 12:33:28

Pete do you know for sure that Nellie is no longer with us? confused

Ana Mon 15-Oct-12 12:31:58

I'm glad you've volunteered, phoenix, because I can't leave my Chaperone post in case of a gramps invasion, and Ella's sloped off again...

soop Mon 15-Oct-12 12:31:54

Oh dear, I'm truly sorry. She is such a lovely person. I admire her for many reasons. I can't believe that she would vanish without saying farewell. Nellie flowers

Anne58 Mon 15-Oct-12 12:29:09

I think a poultice may be called for........................

Pete Mon 15-Oct-12 12:27:01

Very true soop sad

I seem to have developed 'Man Flu' overnight and need to take to me bed today so despite my so called reputation ( nelliemoser ) shock if one (or two!) of you lovely laydees could call round and assist me with a speedy recovery I would be most grateful...grin

annodomini Mon 15-Oct-12 12:19:28

I have tried to pm her, soop, taking great care to get the name absolutely correct and it wasn't recognised. What a terrible loss.

soop Mon 15-Oct-12 11:59:57

What! Nellie can't leave the neighbourhood. We need her. We love her. hmm

Ella46 Mon 15-Oct-12 10:15:21

nelliemoser all the men in here are strange, so consider yourself properly introduced by me, and chaperoned by Ana, who is always usually slumped in the corner in a drunken stupor chair.

If you want an "Old Fashioned" I'm sure Pete will know how to make one, he seems to know his way around the bottles behind the bar wink

Just heard a rumour that littlenellie has left the neighbourhood, I do hope not as she will be missed shock

Nelliemoser Sun 14-Oct-12 23:24:05

pete I have been on the wagon tonight not even a Damson Gin. I can't risk getting drunk as I hear you have a reputation! shock I value mine.
My late mother warned me about not talking to strange men unless properly introduced and accompanied by a chaperone. Old fashioned was my Mum.

Pete Sun 14-Oct-12 21:29:26

Scotch and soda please Lil, and a Small but Pert chaser for me Cheers grin

Anne58 Sun 14-Oct-12 21:09:47

Hmmmm, I will give some thought as to what might be included in a "Cheeky Chap"! It will no doubt need plenty of sauce, of one kind or another!

Pete Sun 14-Oct-12 21:05:18

Lils Bar is not PC so feel free to name the cocktails whatever takes your fancy. phoenix

Your suggestions are ideal names, and I totally agree that anything more than a handful is a waste wink Not so sure Lil will agree!

Anne58 Sun 14-Oct-12 20:34:43

Evening all, just popping in whilst I wait for my bath water to reach the correct temperature. (And before anyone makes remarks about old geysers/geezers, I'll have you know it's oil fired, not gas, so there.)

Although (as you know) I'm not one for one of those fancy cocktails, being more of a scotch and soda drinker, I have noticed many references to "Ample Bosom". Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that there are many things these days that could be viewed as discriminatory.

So, with that in mind, might I suggest that there should be a cocktail called "Small but Pert" or perhaps "Droop Free" .

Just a thought.................

Pete Sun 14-Oct-12 19:08:34

I took my custom to the 'Old Mill' last night,in protest over Lil's price hike, they are a strange lot in there and wouldn't accept an IOU at the end of the night...told me to take my custom elsewhere shock Cheeky bas

Evening nellie, (this may confuse gramps...a pair of nellies!), may I offer you a refill? Are all these empties yours?! you must be a very thirsty innocent country lass grin Your most welcome just keep your ankles covered for the first few visits...soop will advise you!

I'm off to shave this 'tash' off....it dosn't tickle everones fancy....anyone seen Ella wink

soop Sun 14-Oct-12 16:58:45

Nellie It's true, they are rascals - but loveable with it. We lasses need to keep them at arm's length if we're not to be led astray by their honeyed overtures.grin

Nelliemoser Sun 14-Oct-12 16:52:16

Thanks soop From lurking for a while I am becoming aware of the villainous natures of Pete and Gramps. I can imagine them sporting large moustaches and laughing their wicked laughs! Its all a bit much for an innocent country lass!

soop Sun 14-Oct-12 16:29:27

Nelliemoser Welcome to the crazy world of Lil's bar and her band of high- spirited regulars. You can always help yourself to a G&T...the honesty box [padlocked to the pump] is for IOU's and such. Words of warning...steer clear of the games room when Pete and Gramps are in residence. wink

Nelliemoser Sun 14-Oct-12 16:14:29

Right! I have just run round from (CHAT "my last report") following comments there to find out what is going on in Lil's bar!
This is the first time I have braved this den of iniquity! See how Gransnet is leading me off the rails! Where is the G& T I ordered from "my last report." That is quite enough ice thank you! I will explore for a bit.

soop Sun 14-Oct-12 13:55:22

grin...phrase-maker!

gramps Sun 14-Oct-12 13:35:27

Soop my dear,
Fickle, but fun,as you're not here.
A divertisment for all concerned,
A little time for reflection you see,
But don't get your fingers burnt!

soop Sun 14-Oct-12 12:30:18

So......gramps - you've taken a liking to Lil's ankles. I call that fickle! wink
