All sorts of guests.... we all have our 'own' views .. but it's my party... Tea, and cakes, and blissful late summer sunshine.. Blokes chatting, ladies talking, children playing.... Someone has 'provided' wonderful 'nibbles' - and the 'blokes ' know that later - they can go to the pub for a 'chat with the vicar'. The Ladies laugh.... ... all welcome; anyone fancy a nice place where we can can 'listen' to those whose views we would otherwise mock? All welcome - but no ruffians.. Any takers? Carol? David? Larry? Ghost?

Dean Morrison Posts: 216 Joined: Dec. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 14 2006,04:32    Do come in old chap - cup of tea? cucumber sandwich?

Stephen Elliott Posts: 1776 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 14 2006,04:36    OK. I am imagining a blissfull summers afternoon. But it is still piggin chilly outside.

Dean Morrison Posts: 216 Joined: Dec. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 14 2006,05:07    ... and all the ladies in their floral frocks....

Stephen Elliott Posts: 1776 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 14 2006,05:50    This is all very nice, but where's the bar?

Dean Morrison Posts: 216 Joined: Dec. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 14 2006,06:40    I'm sure the Reverend will pour you a glass of sherry if you ask nicely - Pimms later perhaps??

Stephen Elliott Posts: 1776 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 14 2006,07:05    Pimms...An absolute gem as the base for a decent punch.

Dean Morrison Posts: 216 Joined: Dec. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 14 2006,09:01    anyone for croquet?

Alan Fox Posts: 1556 Joined: Aug. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 14 2006,11:53    Anyone fancy a spliff... Oh, sorry, didn't see you there, vicar.

Dean Morrison Posts: 216 Joined: Dec. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 14 2006,12:31    'Herbal cigarettes' Mr Fox? - don't mind if I do...

sir_toejam Posts: 846 Joined: April 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 14 2006,13:15    I say, Lionel, catch... why do i think this is going to somehow become another version of Sam Peckinpah's "Salad Days"?? http://orangecow.org/pythonet/sketches/saladays.htm cut to apology... http://orangecow.org/pythonet/sketches/apology1.htm

Bob O'H Posts: 2564 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 14 2006,23:22    Sorry I'm a tad late, but little Lionel had hidden the bat behind the shed and it took me hours to find it.  The little devil's more of a Rooney than a Flintoff.

Dean Morrison Posts: 216 Joined: Dec. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 15 2006,13:05    Just thought I'd let you chaps and chappesses know that the first of nine episodes of 'Ripping Yarns' is to be screened on BBC4 this Thursday at 8.30. In the United Kingdom of course - am afraid our American cousins will have to check out the DVD on amazon. More tea anyone?

Stephen Elliott Posts: 1776 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 15 2006,13:41    Dean, Any news on tickets? ie When are you expecting them? Got any beer old chap. Getting sick of the bucks fizz.

Dean Morrison Posts: 216 Joined: Dec. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 15 2006,14:33    Hi Steve, tickets in the post (to me) old boy - thought I sent an e-mail to all to confirm? Mind you some of my e-mails have gone astray of late - The blacksmith is dishing out his 'dead dog scrumpy' in the summer house I hear.....

Bob O'H Posts: 2564 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 15 2006,20:13    ALGENON!  Put that back! No! Where you got it from.  Yes.  On the table. Um, sorry.  Where were we?

Sheikh Mahandi Posts: 47 Joined: May 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 16 2006,01:20    Aaarrr Scrumpy - real zyder by crackey, aha and decent lager - snakebite anyone?. My word - is that Dr Tony Hill, and Carol Jordan over there? What have you guys been up to? -------------- "Love is in the air, everywhere I look around,.....Love is in the air, every sight and every sound,......"

Dean Morrison Posts: 216 Joined: Dec. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 16 2006,03:20    No thats' Prof Dawkins with his supermodel wife.. ( OT - Another Dawkins webcast for 'Darwin day': 'Is evolution predictable': http://www.uclan.ac.uk/psychology/bully/darwin/ .. also mentions that the local brewery is producing 'Evolution Ale' to mark the occasion! I hear the Boy Scouts have just come back from that 'Fungus Foray' they went on last Autumn - they seem to have developed a new language on their trip.. Well boys will be boys.. youngsters eh?

Julie Stahlhut Posts: 46 Joined: July 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 17 2006,07:39    I have all of Ripping Yarns on videotape.  And the third and fourth seasons of A Bit of Fry and Laurie on DVD.  I'll be glad to bring them to the party so that there'll be something to watch indoors in case of rain in the garden.  (And make mine a gin and tonic.  "Soupy Twist!") As for offering an -- er, herbal smoke to the vicar:  From where I'm standing, he seems to bear a distinct resemblance to the Rev. Dennis Sparrow.  I don't think he'll be too shocked. -- Julie

Dean Morrison Posts: 216 Joined: Dec. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 17 2006,08:29    Glad to see another lady has arrived to brighten up the company - now chaps - mind your manners - who's going to get Julie a 'Soupy Twist' ? Would you care for a 'petit four' Julie?

Julie Stahlhut Posts: 46 Joined: July 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 17 2006,10:10    A lay?  Why, Dean, I'm shocked.  I'm a married woman!   But milder vices are fine.  I can't resist a good G&T.  Nor petits fours.  Nor reruns of "Sam Peckinpah's Salad Days!

Dean Morrison Posts: 216 Joined: Dec. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 17 2006,12:22    ....sorry for that faux pas Julie! - I was more concerned with getting 'petits fours' right - gosh! what a fool  I am! .. gone back to insert the missing letter - must be those herbal cigarettes (Dr Sigmund, sitting in the corner has another amusing reason he tells me!

Julie Stahlhut Posts: 46 Joined: July 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 17 2006,15:34    No offense taken, of course.  Especially not where an offering of petits fours is involved! BTW, these virtual sweets and alcoholic beverages definitely have their advantages.  You can indulge all you want, not put on weight, and not have to line up a designated driver!

Dean Morrison Posts: 216 Joined: Dec. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 17 2006,23:33    .. or worry about getting busted.. Oh Hello! Chief Constable .. would you like to try one of the the vicar's wife's rather remarkarkable cookies???

Bob O'H Posts: 2564 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 20 2006,22:40    It was a bit quiet whilst the Chief Constable was here.  Do you think he's on to our ginger beer smuggling?

Dean Morrison Posts: 216 Joined: Dec. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 21 2006,00:19    I think someone popped some absinthe into his trifle and he's too interested in the snakes climbing up the walls to notice....

Bob O'H Posts: 2564 Joined: Oct. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 21 2006,02:52    Ah, that explains his kindly mood: we all know that absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.

Dean Morrison Posts: 216 Joined: Dec. 2005 (Permalink) Posted: Jan. 21 2006,12:45    let's not worry over trifles...
