I have a feeling his parents were a little naive :-D :-D

Aw, Ann, I thought you were going to tell us again about your ex-work colleague Michael Hunt there for a minute ;-) :-D

Ann your joke really cheered me up tonight and made me laugh.
So thankyou much appreciated.

well thank you kindly Wend - you are no doubt referring to Fanny Bare, Fanny Damp and Dick Large? or that other one - Fanny Smellie from Scotand :-D

The newbies on the GR team have a lot to answer for imo. The original thread wasn't offensive and neither is this one.

AnnC has a brilliant sense of humour which brightens up this chat board. In fact, I've just been reading a few of her many humorous comments posted on a long thread (which I copied) 4 years ago about *saucy* names of people from the past (Fanny Craddock being one of the cleanest, if you get my drift!) Brummiejan (is she still around?) also posted many times on that thread and I put in my pennysworth from time to time, plus others. Would I dare do that now . . . . . . ooh, shock, horror at the thought of it :-0

Off to carry on with my knitting and pursing my lips :-P :-P :-P

I have a pretty fair idea of who reported me - not you John - someone out to cause trouble

I was going to post something and sign myself Geordie/Jock but who would I offend? the Geordies or the Jocks.

Actually I would offend neither as they are all sensible people who can laugh at themselves.

There is NOTHING wrong with this thread.

:-D :-D :-D @AnnC I thought I said your thread was grate, and grating on me.

ah - I see John has deleted his posting which frankly was a little on the rude side suggesting "ladies give it a rest" as he found the thread "grating"

I merely said that no one had forced him to come on to the thread and suggested he find some water to play in - now what's wrong with that may I ask!!!

Did not see AnnC's reply. But I expect it was usual - bit of a cross patch with me occasionally.

Anyway, have deleted my post that might have caused her to be a bit cross.

:-D <3

Oophs Ann what did you say my dear ? <3

:-D :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I was in London a couple of days ago and I got a bit lost. I noticed a blackboard outside a small bar and it said, “All drinks 10p”. I could not believe my eyes, but I need a bit of a sit-down so I went in. The guy behind the bar looked in his late 50s, well dressed and he smiled and nodded so I ordered a G&T. “Ice?” he enquired.
“Just a little,” I replied.
“That’ll be 10p thank you sir,” he said as he placed the glass in front of me. I paid. In the corner sat a group of pensioners, staring at the table and with not a glass in sight.
Anyway, I asked the bartender how come he could make a living out of selling drinks for 10p. He told me that he had always wanted to have a pub but could never afford to buy a lease. Then, as he neared retirement, he had a big win on the pools and it set him up – he didn’t need to work again. He decided that he’d realise his dream and have a cosy little pub, and, as he didn’t need the money, he’d sell drinks cheap and hopefully get lots of customers so he could chat away and be the convivial ‘mine host’.
“All very well,” I said, but that lot over there aren’t buying or talking. “What’s up.”
“Ah,” he replied, “They’re regulars. They come up from Yorkshire in a minibus every week.”
“Well why aren’t they drinking?”
“Oh, they’re waiting for happy hour!”

nope - I didn't get one Mr M

I'm a good girl I am :-D

:-D
