We’ll squeeze James in somehow Doodle no worries

Doodle Fri 03-Jun-22 22:08:47

Any takers for Tom…..

ixion Fri 03-Jun-22 22:11:27

He's quite short GSM ?
Aren't you tall?
Could you cope?

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 03-Jun-22 22:14:13

James? Surely he’s fairly tall? Tom’s definitely too short for me.

ixion Fri 03-Jun-22 22:25:03

How about the one with the cheek bones from Peaky Blinders?

Be still, my beating heart

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 03-Jun-22 22:28:50

Nah.

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 03-Jun-22 22:29:11

Nice horse though.

Doodle Fri 03-Jun-22 22:39:18

You can bring him if you want Ixion I’m sure I could find a place for him somewhere …….

brook2704 Fri 03-Jun-22 22:45:36

Can I invite Jamie Fraser plse Doodle? I’ve heard he’s very good with the llamas

Doodle Sat 04-Jun-22 10:49:49

Jamie Frazier Brook …..? swoon oh my goodness, I need a new outfit …..oh I’ve come over all unnecessary.
Oh yes please do. ?

ixion Sat 04-Jun-22 13:32:02

Had to Google him.
Born 1980 ??. Blimey.

Let's all bring our Squeeze du jour ?

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 04-Jun-22 13:44:32

Will he require infant food?

ixion Sat 04-Jun-22 14:30:50

?

Doodle Sat 04-Jun-22 18:52:22

GSM ???. Hadn’t realised how young he was or how old I am.
I just grab whatever’s left at the end of the evening…. ☹️ Suppose that will be the Admiral and the Captain as usual.

ixion Sat 04-Jun-22 19:07:18

Well, Barg-ers and camp followers, good and bad news?☹️.
Can't get a Sleb for love nor readies tonight BUT

I have hired us a Chara, courtesy of May Hem's Dad. We are all orf to the Palace for That concert!
Prime seats guaranteed, free earplugs, close to toilets, bring your knitting for the Ones you haven't heard of...

Bring your Squeeze du Jour, no questions asked?.
Me 'n' Mr. Peaky will be there - we may come mounted, even, but he can leave the horse at the stables round the back, apparently.
Only worry is that we may have to take May Hem.
No worries, I guess she won't even glance at your chap brook - too long in the tooth for bright young things ?

ixion Sat 04-Jun-22 19:11:24

Roll up, roll up!
No, not that sort of roll up, don't lower the tone.
All aboard the Skylark?

I do believe it's the same chara that took us darn Sarfend. Ooh, all those scary memories.

brook2704 Sat 04-Jun-22 19:19:30

Oooh the Skylark ! It’s ages since I’ve been in that, hand on a mo I’m almost ready, just need the finishing touches to my outfit ..

LauraNorderr Sat 04-Jun-22 19:20:01

Bagsy the back seat of the chara with my squeeze du jour, Hugh Jackman, I love an Aussie bit of rough. Think ‘the drover’, phwoar.
Might ditch him later if Penny lets Sir Rod …er… mingle.

ixion Sat 04-Jun-22 19:22:08

Not that much later, Laura.
He'll have nodded off?

brook2704 Sat 04-Jun-22 19:22:47

I’m ready …

ixion Sat 04-Jun-22 19:26:31

Good job your young man is athletic, brook. Otherwise he'd never be able to get near you. You really need a banquette with that width.

brook2704 Sat 04-Jun-22 19:32:04

??

LauraNorderr Sat 04-Jun-22 19:33:47

True ixion, I forgot just how old Sir Rod is these days.
Looking good brook, keep an eye on the Admiral, he has a penchant for Velcro and poppers.

LauraNorderr Sat 04-Jun-22 19:36:16

Wales have offered Rob Brydon. Any takers?
