someone mentioned the Timothy Spall canal trip! so......... are we up for a virtual canal trip anyone? not sure if we can manage the whole "Leeds to Liverpool" but could try, anyone wanting to abandon ship could jump off at the next stop! if we havn't tied them to the rudder grin think we may need a few barges but we could tie them all together and have a Zip line to get from one to another! there may be some of you that are not keen on water, so you could run along side grin or whatever. ..I shall leave that thought with you all grin we will need plenty of supplies wine drinks, food etc, and plenty of pubs waterholes and wee toilet stops. the wearing of "mini skirts and stilettos" will be prohibited seeing as though we will be operating the locks and may need to be in certain positions ie leaning over or pushing..... and not to cause the oglers men folk distraction whilst visiting the villages.

I'm with you Allie at the Cavern - I know all the words to the Beatles songs, but I can't tell you what I did last Monday !

A bit of a boogie, a few bevies and then back home after a great weekend. Who says us pensioners can't have fun ?

NanKate Sat 05-Apr-14 19:47:22

Alie not Allie - it's those vodka jellies !

NanKate Sat 05-Apr-14 19:49:36

Yes do come back Bikergran because it is your party.

bikergran Sat 05-Apr-14 19:49:48

AlieOxon Sat 05-Apr-14 19:58:22

They're playing our tune.......a Hard Day's Night....let's rock'n'roll with some rolling rock - more vodka jellies pleasse!

annodomini Sat 05-Apr-14 20:27:05

A new batch of vodka jellies coming right up. Don't eat them all at once. And Alie, that cat was behaving very oddly. I'm sure you've been supplementing her cat food with little tipples.

bikergran Sat 05-Apr-14 20:46:57

yehaaaaaaaaaa lets swing no not that kind just off to my hammock and thought I had better check up see what your all up to...I see anno is plying you with alcohol again hmm any food left I'm starving marvin, whers that chef I hired bet he's down below decks with that NanaKate

bikergran Sat 05-Apr-14 20:49:35

bikergran Sat 05-Apr-14 20:56:36

ok it says..that if we want to get to sleep at night. we must not look at blue lights/watch tv in bedroom/play on computers/ipads etc and we should go to bed to do 2 things...one to sleep and one to blush well!! I am off to bed now to???? sleep grin
goodnight all sleep well..catch you tomorrow.moon moon

AlieOxon Sat 05-Apr-14 21:05:22

'Oh what a night'....right era, wrong group, but that's it!

Wow. Meow. Let's go, we'll blow - goodnight!

NanKate Sat 05-Apr-14 22:22:20

Yes fab evening and good company.

And no Bikergran there has been no shernanagins down below decks - the chef left hours ago saying he'd only been hired by you to cook up our supper, you would have to double his pay if we wanted him to reveal his bangers and mash. smile

I'm more into snuggling up in bed with my teddy and a good book these days!

And your karaoke at the Cavern was great kate ...it's just that they didn't exactly expect you to join in - that's why we did too!

NanKate Sun 06-Apr-14 09:36:39

I don't think Alie that they had heard 'We'll be coming round the mountain when we come' at the Cavern before.

I must admit I was a bit surprised when you started pole dancing, hope you haven't done yourself an injury. wink

AlieOxon Sun 06-Apr-14 10:18:40

I'm fine. Pity about the table though

NanKate Sun 06-Apr-14 10:39:31

They've never had a pole snap before either Alie blush.

tiggypiro Sun 06-Apr-14 10:55:12

So was I the only one to get on the mini bus and go home ? What are you all trying to tell me ?
At least I had a glass or two of non virtual wine last night !
Soooooooooooo sorry to have missed what sounded like a cracking ( !!) party in The Cavern. I always wanted to go there 50 years ago. Perhaps my time will come.

AlieOxon Sun 06-Apr-14 11:37:18

Thank you kate.

Yes tiggy you missed it (thinks at least you didn't see me)
I notice you don't remember the bus....

(When is the next party?
We do it better in the daytime.....)

NanKate Sun 06-Apr-14 11:47:32

I'm working on a new thread for us game old birds and will post in a week or so.

Off tomorrow for 4 days to Sussex - we are in charge of our 1 and 3 year old grandsons. To be honest they will be a dream in comparison with us rowdy lot on the barge.

I will take my Ipad so you I can still keep an eye on you and check what you are up to.

AlieOxon Sun 06-Apr-14 12:00:45

Up to? Moi?

NanKate Sun 06-Apr-14 12:12:03

Don't come the innocent with me Alie - don't forget I spent an evening with you at the Cavern, need I say more. grin

AlieOxon Sun 06-Apr-14 12:17:34

Whoops.

AlieOxon Sun 06-Apr-14 12:34:36

blush

papaoscar Sun 06-Apr-14 13:36:18

Disgusting! Disgraceful! How dare they! Appalling conduct! They should know better at their age! To terminate the cruise before I'd had a chance join it, I mean! There I was, waiting on the bank with my grappling irons at the ready, in my best bib and tucker, and ready to do the hornpipe. But my only companions were a passing ferret and a load of empty beer cans floating down the river. Fortunately a passing charabang full of reformed incontinent trapeze artists off to the coast on a celebratory binge picked me up. From that point on memory fades....

AlieOxon Sun 06-Apr-14 14:14:51

I should hope so!
