Ahhh but have you tried Babycham with brandy DL takes away the sweetness and provides an 'ooh la la' moment.

I got it Urmstongran .

No, I just cannot physically tolerate any dark spirit.

Gin, vodka, white rum - bring it on.`🍾🍾

Scotch, brandy etc..,,nooo😳

I used to get my ooh-La-La moments with white spirits.. but, hey if it floats your boat...👍

Ok, I was once seduced after discovering brandy and babycham. When the seducer suggested I add a glass of babycham to my one drink of the evening - a small brandy, I thought, you’re so not my type. I’m not a babycham girl/feminist. ….. (as Jilly Cooper might say).

If you can’t tolerate dark spirits in the house, always use a happy medium. 👻

How dare you Terribull !
IClaudius isn’t wearing one, it’s his own hair.😄

IClaudius

Apologies, that should have said Terribull!

No worries I Claudius, when I chose my user name "Terribull" damn it would you believe it's not my real name I was aiming for it being synonymous with terrible anyway

I like your rug by the way.

Well Urm that didn't go how you wanted/imagined it would !

Au contraire! I imagine urmstongran has been as entertained as the rest of us, with a few exceptions, having established we none of us think old men in bondage gear an appropriate illustration in a equally inappropriate book for pre-school children.
Now, back to the Mothers Pride and the picnic!

Admittedly, it was a bit of a slow burner to begin with, but it's always good to see the forces of common sense prevail in the end, isn't it?

This thread has veered into a real good "picnicathon", so with that in mind, maybe some sandwiches could be included with what passed for bread once "Mother's Pride" does anyone remember that? Not to be confused with Granddad's Pride. Although sadly it wasn't presented in rainbow packaging. Never mind at least there isn't a prerequisite to wear bondage gear when chewing on one's sandwich in non artisan bread designed for the proles. Although if you do happen to be a bondage gear devotee, and I imagine there are loads and loads based on what is being presented in the form of children's books these days, and you enjoy ingesting a sandwich whilst adorned with say a spiky dog collars/handcuffs then maybe Mother's Pride is something to bare bear in mind! Of course while wearing one's bondage gear, it may give one the impetus to indulge in a bit of mild sado/masochism so do include some beat beetroot! . The advantage of vivid coloured food stuffs is that they can also be smeared across the body afterwards with maybe some mustard, pesto and sun dried tomatoes to embody the rainbow effect, making sure it doesn't clog up one's suspenders or nipple clamps first, no one wants food encrusted bondage attire, I mean yuk!

Although pick your venue carefully I'd say if that's your thing, I can't see the whole "granddad bondage" attire going down too well at Glyndebourne or Henley say, but you never know!

Yes, I remember the advert. I wasn't rich enough, in those days, to afford it though.

It was all cut rate bread for me - a bit like life at times lol 😉

Terrible, against my better judgement I went looking for a suitable bondage vibe blanket and oh my! This is one of the less offensive. It should certainly give picnickers a topic for conversation, once ones diversity has been exhausted.

I think in fact Callistemon, as lovely as that blanket is, it's how can I say, not rainbowey enough, I mean Judy in her glass slippers, or was it red shoes, minor detail, but she was hardly likely to be warbling "somewhere over the patchwork blanket" Rainbows is the theme you are looking for! Rainbows equal inclusiveness, Zippy knew it!, unicorns were always rainbow orientated and happily now so are high street banks, so there you have it, don't be labouring away on little squares go big, aim for arches of coloured light.

Might I also point out that Camper Van Blanket, well how can I put it, it's somewhat lacking in the bondage vibe, possibly that could be rectified by attaching a pair of manacles, do you have any of those lying around in the shed?, or even in your sewing box ?

Coincidentally, I've just been looking at crochet patterns and was thinking of The Camper Van blanket as my next project, using up some of my stash. What do you think?
The only problem is I don't have any blue left ...... 🤔

Urmston, I’m so disappointed you haven’t really made a huge Lancashire hot pot.

The only wine we had in my childhood was ginger wine that my brother made before Christmas. Until the year it exploded in a cupboard in the sitting room! That was the end of that!

My views are my own. As yours is. Different opinions.
I just thought ‘goodness, to think people were worried about Enid Blyton books!’

I just think for young children overt sexualisation in school books is inappropriate. Let children be children. Time enough to learn about kinky dressing up choices when they are much older.

What goes on behind bedroom doors seems to be insisted upon viewing nowadays. Bondage dressing up used to be on the top shelf in a newsagent. Now? Oh let’s tell this story to four year olds. Why?

My feelings exactly. As long as children feel free to ask their family questions as they occur to them, that seems a better way of easing them into the facts of life. Each child varies so much with different level of comprehension. One size fits all seems wrong to me.

I even answered a question about vaginas in a supermarket queue!

Ah. Sorry - I'm a bit slow on the uptake .

Ha Doodledog! It was meant more of a skit about ‘sex on the table ... hence ‘mind your bottoms’.
🤣 🤣
Ah well - as my mother used to say ‘and some fell on stony ground’.

It's ages since I've had a Lancashire Hotpot. Make room for me, please?

Clear a space on that table folks - big hot casserole dish of Lancashire hotpot coming through.
Mind your bottoms!
🤣🤣

Special day, not system. 🙄

I have six of the proper Babycham glasses DL complete with the little reindeer and will treat myself to a couple of small bottles at Christmas. Problem is the glasses are the wrong shape so the Babycham very quickly loses its fizz.

Yes, I threw the little glasses when I cleared out my Dads house, when he went into a nursing home. Not sure if they're still available.

It's too sweet for me now - I prefer Prosecco, or if it's a really special system, then Champagne.🥂🍾

I confess to rather enjoying Blanket on the Ground and other country and western type songs. Dolly Parton. Kris Kristofferson, Johnnie Cash and co. Dead common and over emotional I know.
Picnics - in recent years, I’ve only put them together for long car journeys so I can avoid Motor way service stations, other than Tebay or those in `France are to be avoided.

They are great for a sing-a-long. Mainly the same subjects...crops dying, poverty, dog dying, wife leaving, hearts broken and people getting shot/killed/maimed.🙂

Good old songs though. 👍
