Mopping sweat from brow. Took best part of the morning to delete dear Mr soop's "pose in tartan" from my album. Thankfully, he's unaware. Whew! grin

Elegran Thu 03-Jan-13 17:02:38

[wolf whistle emoticon] Like the Harry Lauder walkingstick too. (That was not a euphemism)

Ana Thu 03-Jan-13 17:05:00

grin Elegran!

Ella46 Thu 03-Jan-13 17:10:37

I think he should be the 2013 Gransnet mascot................what could be more apt?

Yaay! sunshine

soop Thu 03-Jan-13 17:10:37

Just a wee while before I scrub the tartan pose from the album. Smoluski wanted a peek. After which...I shall deny having been cheeky enough to expose dear Mr soop. Either that, or plead insanity! grin

soop Thu 03-Jan-13 17:11:11

Elle you make me laugh.

soop Thu 03-Jan-13 17:11:47

Should have been Ella...I'm all of a twitter!

Elegran Thu 03-Jan-13 17:20:09

ana I suspect you should wash your mind out with soap.

"An ornamental cultivar of Common Hazel (Corylus avellana) has become known as Harry Lauder's Walking Stick or Corkscrew Hazel. It was noticed growing as part of a hedge in the 1800s and is now propagated by grafting. It gains this name from the fact Lauder regularly appeared with a crooked walking stick."

I told you, not a euphemism at all! Mr Soop was carrying a twisted stick!

Smoluski Thu 03-Jan-13 17:35:01

At the risk of appearing to be unladylike like soop PHWOAR no wonder you don't get bored up there during the long lonely winter [puts two fingers in each corner of mouth pushes tongue back emitting loud wolf whistle emoticon] ......mr soops not bad either [ grin]

Ana Thu 03-Jan-13 17:59:54

Elegran, I was merely laughing at your wolf whistle.....sad
I fear it is you whose mind is dwelling too much on the propagation of corkscrew hazel walking sticks....wink

soop Thu 03-Jan-13 18:09:22

grin And that's it from me, gels. I shall now delete. Mr soop is a very dear man. He does have a cheeky sense of humour. However...fair's fair. Been a happy day with you all. Night night. moon

Ana Thu 03-Jan-13 18:17:18

Night, soop - thanks for your company! smile

Ella46 Thu 03-Jan-13 18:18:32

Night soop, thanks for being such a good sport smile

Elegran Thu 03-Jan-13 18:32:27

Night Soop

Ana One of my neighbours has a twisted hazel tree in his front garden, neatly placed in a little round bed with crocuses under it in spring. Now I shall think of Mr S every time I pass.

Ana Thu 03-Jan-13 18:42:35

I'm sure you will, Elegran...wink

jO5 Thu 03-Jan-13 19:22:24

I had one of those but it died.

Anne58 Thu 03-Jan-13 19:25:08

Somehow I'm not surprised!

jO5 Thu 03-Jan-13 19:49:04

he he he! grin

Anne58 Thu 03-Jan-13 23:29:42

Bit quiet, tonight> Where are the chaps?

Anne58 Fri 04-Jan-13 00:12:37

Oh well, that's another day over, moon see you tomorrow.

Smoluski Fri 04-Jan-13 19:30:27

Hello jo not like you to visit the den of iniquity have you popped in for an ARabian jockstrap grin

Anne58 Fri 04-Jan-13 19:49:26

Well, that was fun (not) shopping. Not sure about tackling the Arabian Jockstap quite yet, as I needed a shot of Amaretto in my coffee after battling my way through the tattoos and exposed flesh, still that's Asda for you. (Well, it is at my nearest branch. makes Morrisons seem upmarket.)

So, what shall I have? Ladies what would you suggest?

Anne58 Fri 04-Jan-13 19:51:00

Having thought about it, I suppose I could ease in gently with a long slow comfortable grocer up against the deli counter, but somehow doubt if Lil has any of the right salami in stock.

Oh well.

Anne58 Fri 04-Jan-13 23:49:50

For heavens sake, where IS everyone?

Pete Sat 05-Jan-13 10:30:17

Normal service to be resumed soon phoenix

Ana Sat 05-Jan-13 10:42:35

Whatever 'normal' means....hmm
