Good Evening CC,

I guessed Edwards father was Edward Senior, but when it says -
Birthplace? I put "in the bedroom" I keep drawing a blank? :)))

Hello everyone - hope you are all well.

What an odd conversation CC and Tec are having:-))

CC - I haven't decided what to wear but as the christening will be in the UK a flowery summer frock should do the trick. Of course a hat but perhaps not the gloves. Matching shoes and handbag. I must check with Linda - I dont' want to upstage Grandma:-))

Good Morning Sue,

I have odd conversations wirth people all the time - but it's not me that's odd - it's always them.

In the days of Margaret Thatcher, she was due attend a function where the Queen would also be present. She apparently phoned the palace to enquire what the Queen would be wearing, as she didn't want to clash.
Back came the curt reply - "Her Majesty never notices what other people are wearing"..........poor Maggie, put down again :)))

I can't imagine Maggie and Liz indulging in girl-talk:-))

"Margaret - tell me the truth. Does my bottom look big in this outfit"

No I can't imagine that either Sue - the Queen was in Canada yesterday covered in a huge coverall cape because it was pouring with rain, but she still had a big hat on, and THAT handbag.

It's poured with rain here all day too, and very humid, not nice.

Good morning/evening everybody.

I shall be wearing white tie and tails.

I've already started rounding up the neighbourhood cats so that my tails will be many and varied :0))

Hello Allan - is that all you'll be wearing? It may get a bit embarrassing - especially if it's breezy;-))

Good Morning Allan,

Will that be a cat 'o nine tails?

Tec,

Allan

Allan Report 1 Jul 2010 22:44

lol Sue!

Tec I'm still trying to find one of those! It's like trying to find a four-leaf clover.

My attire will be 'purrfect' on the day :0))

At least they are still recognisable as jokes, Sue :0))

CC I once tried to draw a cheque on the River Bank but these days I just draw my breath!

CC....I didn't realise you had posted the Thatcher thing - sorry, but it is well documented.

I like drawing blanks - they're such odd shapes.

Anyway I think Allan should turn up in his Maid With The Hairy Legs outfit..

It's actually very difficult to draw a blank, as by the very definition the minute you put anything on paper using a writing implement, you can be said to have drawn something.

This is a fine philosophical argument worthy of Descartes

He used to work in some stables but couldn't cope as he was always putting Descartes before the horse.

You seem a little pixelated CC!

My computer is nuclear powered!

It's a type of fusion and chips!

Yes CC, I realised you were teasing - calm down dear.

I'm confident that you will look elegant in whatever you choose to wear.

I'm coming in a top hat and tails - oxtails.

Confusion reigns!

Not to be confused with horse reins or catastrophic rains

Tec you attire sounds souper!
