As its less than 3 weeks until the 1st Anniversary of Gransnet 5th May ( I hope thats the correct date, if my memory has not failed me altogether) smile
How are we going to celebrate?

Do we need to start making bunting or baking, any suggestions?????

"Ha ha ha, hee, hee, hee! Little brown jug don't I love thee!"

Cari be warned - I have most of Stanley Holloway off by heart, and will tolerate no errors!

"She's my Lily of Laguna, she is my lily, and my rose"

Good job glass has got it sorted. But I think the party should be at or near HQ...

jeni Tue 17-Apr-12 18:19:55

What tune, gracesmum?

glassortwo Tue 17-Apr-12 19:23:56

Great cari and geraldine are joining the party,

so to add to our entertainment we have cari playing horsey horsey reciting Albert and the Lion, (I think you need to polish up on mud glorious mud knowing the reputation that our parties have) grin

geraldine singing some old favorites in between eating cake wink

geraldine I would like to thank you and all the team for giving me the opportunity to get to know some of the most caring, understanding and talented group of people I have ever met, this last year has just been fantastic..Thank You. sunshine

maggie I like the idea of a singalong smile

greatnan roller skating one leg will be very entertaining. wink

grace "You cannae shove yer granny aff a bus" love it, but its stuck in my head grin I am possibly singing it to the wrong tune.

as ariadne mentioned we need to sort out where we are having this party, any more ideas?

Anagram Tue 17-Apr-12 19:39:17

Do they all have to be The Good Old Days-type songs? Some of us aren't that old! wink

Carol Tue 17-Apr-12 19:44:19

Those were the songs my mum enjoyed, but my taste is rock music!

Maniac Tue 17-Apr-12 19:45:57

I've found my juggling balls and am practising hard.
Maybe jeni will play her harp.

glassortwo Tue 17-Apr-12 19:53:29

Where is jeni we need to see if she will play her harp, she can wear her pearls wink

glassortwo Tue 17-Apr-12 19:55:22

manic how many balls do you use, or just had a great idea can you juggle with flame throwers grin

jeni Tue 17-Apr-12 19:55:52

I can only play twinkle twinkle. And three blind mice. Have not had time to practice. Too much work and GN!

glassortwo Tue 17-Apr-12 19:58:02

glassortwo Tue 17-Apr-12 19:59:03

"Ye can shove yer ither Granny aff a bus
Ye can shove yer ither Granny aff a bus
Ye can shove yer ither Granny, for she's yer Daddy's Mammy
Ye can shove yer other Granny aff a bus"

Anagram Tue 17-Apr-12 20:08:27

Why is it '*aff*' a bus? confused

gracesmum Tue 17-Apr-12 22:53:19

I am attempting to reproduce the Glasgow dialect as any Weejie would realise.

Anagram Tue 17-Apr-12 23:00:34

Sorry, I didn't realise! (Not being a Weejie!! grin)

Ariadne Wed 18-Apr-12 10:33:20

jeni "Pick up tha musket!"

YMCA; Birdie Song; Agadoo; what was that one about waving your knickers in the air?

Such low taste....will now raise the tone, and my coffee cup to you all:

"Nor spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one autumnal face."
