General Chat

Awwww, I missed it. I was on the phone to a friend and missed the take-off by 46 mins. My friend talks a lot!!

Never mind, I'll catch up with you all later, Emirates has a spare seat on it's latest luxury plane.

Pauline
that is what comes of chatting on the phone. now you will get a bill for your fare and notthing is cheap. perhaps they will accept one of your gold medals instead of the money with a silk scarf.

Yvonne Horse got a good place for his flight all the comforts of the stables he got in India..
They had to give him an in -jection to calm him down but he was fine when I gave him a sugar lump.

Rita

how did the darts go last nite

I am sitting on the top deck of this opentop bus, I will have you know. Let me tell you in London town it is decidedly nippy. Thank goodness I have my mink stole around my shoulders. This lbd is fab, but none too warm. I trust we will go through Victoria, around Buck House, along the Mall, the Strand and along to the Guildhall. It will take a good hour, but we should be welcomed handsomely when we do get there. I know LIZ and Boris will be there, but have you found Johnnie for me. I would like to take him aside and, er, er, talk about his new film. In private of course.
lol

Thank goodness....at last we have a bit of action.

I wont let on, but Johnnie Depp will be in the Guildhall, he will be 'working' in the cloakroom.

If word gets out someone may just vanish from our midst.

Can someone guide the driver ? He's new to the town.

Looking forward to the Guildhall.....and meeting Boris. HM The Queen may be there. She's lovely.

I'm starving, as are Tom, Bobby and Andy.

WELCOME HOME TEAM GR.

Jean xx

Helloooooooo Shelly. Yes we won last night 5-1 in the team game and,
2-1 in the pairs. Yippeeeeeee. But knowing us lot it won't last.

Maddie, can we take a quick look in Wetherspoons, when we pass Victoria.
This is bloo*y freezing on this bus. Quick girls and guys, wave to the right,
the news reporters are there.
Maddie NOOOOO not your knickers, put them back on now, Stephen is blushing.
Oooh perhaps he's not,he's smiling now. Oh my god that's not a smile,
he's mooning up the front there.
STEPHENNN pull your trousers up NOW, the camera's are on us.
Oh the shame of it.

Edit. Sorry Jean I missed you. Good to see you posting love.

TROUSERS !!!!!!!!!

I'M WEARING MY KILT !

I wasn't mooning that WAS my face.

Hi Jean
Lovely to see you have posted on the thread.
Shelly stop wasting paper I had to scroll right down to read you one liner.
Mo that was good to hear you had a win good on you.
Maddies get that stole off you the animal rights group will have a go at you.so will I if it is real mink you have on your shoulders.
The Gallery was the new tate by the way.with the sunflower seeds. I am a little disgussed about it. I found out why the artist if you can call him that did this it is politcal because of the chinese who suffered famine and they had to eat sunflower seeds.to stay alive but it was still political.

By crickey its cold up here. The centre of town looks lovely when it is lit up. Trafalgar square looks cracking with the fountains and the National Gallery and St Martins floodlit.
Going down the Strand will give us the chance to look at the new Savoy Hotel. We may even stay there tonight I fancy. They have to put us up somewhere posh. They spent squillions on making it wonderful again. Apparently it has been refurbished to its Edwardian splendour, so it should be fit for the conquering heroes and heroines.
Please Johnnie will be there. I will hang on to the Mink if you dont mind [its not real] and get Johnnie to hang it up for me. Then I can jump on him, sorry, engage him in intellectual conversation.
Maybe in the morning Rita and I can cross the River and make out feelings known about Tate Modern, and let them know we think it is a pile of poo. lol
Apparently Kapoor bloke has installed some mirrors in Kensington Gardens that distort. Go to Hampstead Heath on Bank Holidays and you can see the same in the Hall of Mirrors. He gets paid mega bucks for this tripe.
Mo, please stop being disparaging to me about knickers, I wear a THONG darling. A little whisp of lace I will have you know. That was a silk scarf I was waving, all the way from Delhi. 'sits huffing and puffing'
Look out London, HERE WE COME.

Whats that?

MTG is going to give us a 'thong' !

Do you know any good ones that we can all join in with?

I can't hear any thongs being thung!

Has everyone got off this bus?

Good Morning All

What happened to everyone?

Did I have a memory lapse from all the Champagne?

Last thing I remember was trying to start a 'thingthong'.

Hope I didn't disgrace myself in front of Boris and HM the Queen.

Oooooh my aching head.

Where the heck am I. I remember getting to the Guildhall, and part of the reception. The champers was rather lovely.

Then I remembered I should keep an eye on my mink. There was the lovely Johnnie in the cloakroom. We started a really interesting conversation, I mentioned that my ancestors came from Devon and were involved in smuggling etc. And that was it, he was captivated.

He put the mink around my shoulders and suggested we go somewhere a little quieter for our conversation.

The Thames was magical, the pretty lights danced on the water as we strolled along the South Bank. We walked and walked, talking all the way.

Strangely enough we ended up in Greenwich. We decided to be a bit naughty at this time and climbed aboard the Cutty Sark. I know that it is still be refurbished, but we made ourselves comfy and talked until dawn.

We decided to exchange a memento, he has my hairclip, I have his sunglasses. You will never see Johnnie in his sunglasses again, THEY ARE MINE.

Better trot on back to the Savoy, I think I have a date for protesting outside Tate Modern.

Tra la la la la.

See you all later.

It was a bit nippy in London last night, wish I hadn't decided to ride behind the bus on Yvonne's horse - doing my Lady Godiva impression. I wanted to ride in front of the bus (so I wouldn't choke on the fumes) but don't know my way around London, so I just followed behind instead. My hair's not quite long enough but I used the gold medals to hide my blushes.

I noticed Maddie dropped her mink as she left the Guildhall with Johnny so I wrapped it around me to stop people staring at my medals............well, I think that's what they were looking at. I found a kilt as well, so that came in handy, although I don't think Liz and Boris were impressed with Stephen running around wearing just his medals and his sporran. He really shouldn't have mixed whisky with his champers.

Rita, don't worry about the Animal Rights people, I told them Maddie's mink was fake, so they went away happy.

It's the first time I've seen the Guildhall, it's beautiful isn't it? Well, it was before our lot got there.

I noticed Jean and Linda were trying to get Mo and Shelly to get down off the tables. It was Marilyn's fault..............she was the first one to climb on the table and start dancing.

You lot have given me a big laugh your all as bad or good as each other.
I wish I had taken my camera with me, I would have made a heap of money selling them off. ? or taking them to the Tate Gallery. LOL

Those of you who know about the papers I found when dad died in 2001 memories of him as a boy and all his life he was born in 1908 and died in 2001 he wrote about his ealry life and the family was very poor. he never stayed at a job for long he was always wanting to lean he went on about his life as a builder and then working with aricraft during the war. my sister and I typed it all out my sister edited it and had it printed and made into a book (My Father did not have a good education he did it all on his own leaned every minute he could. in fact people could not beleive it when they read his book.) we have heard from The British Library also from Scotland and Wales Library from cambridge and Oxford university and from Trinity College in Dublin for copies so they have been sent off to them. I am so proud of my Dad.


Rita

Rita how lovely that others are so interested in your book about your father's life.
Do you have any spare copies? I for one would like to read about him, maybe we could buy a copy from you and send it from one to the other? It's an idea.
I have had a busy couple of days, little M came at 7:00 on 2 mornings. Then I had a friends birthday meal out, we all enjoyed that. Last night was another childminding meeting. We learned nothing as it was what if our funding stops etc etc. Would we as childminders be prepared to pay for the support offered by the council, courses , coffee mornings and meetings. The council meets after the government has it's anouncement after 20th October so what a waste of everyones time. Seemed like the council workers are running scared !!! Actually I have my youngest daughter working for the council as a care advisor so I know how precarious their jobs are, but as you all know I only have the one child to care for for about the last 15 months, so how can we out of minimal earnings pay every time we ask for advice or training etc. What a state some councils are in.

Oh well I hung out washing this morning, but not sure it will dry, overcast and quite miserable.

Take Care, hope things are OK for Jean

Linda :o) XxX
