Oh I was really excited about the Bronty! Oh well :(

I have a chocolate chip muffin that my Mum made :)

I think we are having Chinese for tea too :D:D

How are you lovelies doing?

Just popping in -

MTD _ sorry to hear your news... I hope we can talk soon...

Fate... CLP... is in our own hands, mostly, depending on the choices we make in life... you, my friend, have learnt that we all need to accept our responsibility for our own fate and the decisions we make - and that gives us true wisdom - when we refect - we will realise that...

Today I experienced a life long ambition - at the hands of fate... I saw dolphins dancing in the sea... right in front of me... but if I hadn't decided to come on holiday on my own... I would never have enjoyed such a wonderful thing!!! xxx

ok... now enough of my talking cr@p...

I have turned the hot tub on... left a load of canapes... cold and hot from the oven... FNWC must now be what it was... but beware the olives - they have a tendancy to jump and get to places you never dreamed they could go....

My friends... please make this FNWC a special one... and in the words of one of my oldest and dearest Liverpool mates, Pilkers, love you always, must dash, things to do, people to see...

and so it goes on...

Suzie.... xxx

evening all! early for me tonight but small boy in bed and GD soaking in the bath upon her week long school trip to the Scilly Isles!! she has had a blast but is very weary now!! we (that's me and Mr CG of course!)had a lovely glass of Pimms to celebrate - starting FNWC early tonight!

can i have those olives stuffed with garlic or lemon peel please!!

off to try and upload her pics onto the pooter - catch you later!!

CG xx

Yes indeed to all of the above. Thanks Chris.x

And yes indeedy, que sera sera re. said Brontosaurus. But don't talk to me about fibreglass after spendin' a lovely sunny afternoon in Renee's loft wit 2 chaps an' Renee waitin' at the bottom of the ruddy ladder wit pie an' chips. I've not bin' this mucky since wadin' too far out in the bubbly swimsuit off Morecambe Bay, tryin' to catch tiddlers in me tin Noddy bucket but catchin' 2 fag ends, a corn plaster an' what I thought was an old balloon. And then to add insult to injury, the smarta**e opposite laffed 'is 'ead off when I emerged, full soot moustache, trolleys ripped on a rusty nail, black hand marks (me own) across me chest, an' cobwebs in me hair. I was such a scary sight I texted a picture of meself to the ex-hubby wit the message 'In case you were in any doubt..'

I think 'e's 'avin' it mounted on cork.

Mind. I found some startlin' holiday clothes of Renee's circa 1963, a box a perished corsets AND the DDF Eric's fancy dress Nazi uniform, hurrah! Ah yes. The Allo! Allo! party, where as the Colonel, he came to blows wit Herr Flick for cheatin' at the flour cake game, an' had to sleep in 'is boots owin' to Edith refusin' to help 'im off wit 'em for takin' to 'is part rather too enthusiastically. Happy days.

Howaya to the newbies and returnin' oldies, may join yous later when I've scrubbed meself down in me tin bath full a Swarfega in the back garden.

Les. Priceless!

Clodagh.xx

Fancy that, Suze. You in the hot tub wit the canapes an' pink fizz, me in the tin bath wit Swarfega an' pie an' chips.

Cheers.

C.xx

...an' what looks like black olives in the bottom of said bath. But probably isn't...

Now what was the name a that rabbit..

?

Hi all

How're you all diddling after a very sad week. Beez really helped me when I first moved to France and on arriving here 3 weeks ago, she had a way of putting everything into perspective.

Debs cheers I thought I had to join in with FNWC although I'm 5 hours behind so you could say I'm having a bit of afternoon delight. So cheers Beez you lovely lady and to all who join in today.

I think what I've learnt this week is to not take what I have and what I can give for granted, and as Chris said "Live life large"

You have all kept me going over the passed 18 months with your funny stories and just talking about everyday things and some down right bonkers stuff!

We're moving into our permanent home on Tuesday so that will be another part of the jigsaw in place.

Mtd Sorry about your job situ but I'm sure there's a good reason for it and that something is in the pipeline for you that will knock your socks off.

Deev what a star you are and have been over the terribly sad news that you had to pass on to us, you truly are an inspiration thank you.

On that note I will say bottoms up and Cheers.

MaW xxxx

Just popping in briefly as chicken tikka cooking. Just about to have a small shandy with the meal and then something suitable for FNWC later.

Clodagh... hands of the black olives... and not too fussy where they have been!!! But they're all mine!!!
Living in the "south" has sophisticated (!) me... I never said what what the canapas were...

a half a chip with onion gravy dip

piece of beef and onion pie with mushy pea dip...

scouse with... meat and potato dip...

need I go on...

Evening each

Chris, for Tash's sake, hope you don't get that dinosaur - it would take some dusting!!

Had a very senior moment this morning. Went to get new car, paid by card (I thought) and it was rejected. The security question was 'What was your mother's maiden name'. I answered correctly and it was declined!!!!! Went home, phoned the Bank ready for an aggressive discussion and honest to god I can't believe it - I'd apparently given MY maiden name as the answer to that question when I set up my account with them. I have no recollection of doing that, but the very nice lady in the Bank said that happens often.

So, it's official - I have Dementia!!!!!

Anyway, at the second attempt I got the car. Went over to see little Sam this afternoon and he's gorgeous. Well, to be honest, he's not, having gone through an awful trauma in the 3 days since he was born, but we think he's gorgeous.

xxxxx

In memory of Beez I'm sporting a likeable pair of size 10 cream backs (sorry but i don't own killer heels and yes these shoes ARE mine) :-D . . . who's got the booze and what we watching on the box?

Steve :-D

Clodagh, I'd take the swarfega n pie n chips ANY time :)

Steve :-D

Haven't had time to read any posts. Is the FNWC open yet? Have a bottle of red in honour of our Beez.
xxxx

Aww, Chris, I know the very Bronty you are talking about, I hope she gets a good home!

I used to live 7 miles from Dan-yr-Ogof, if you took the mountain road, 15 f you didn't!

Our "local" was the Abercrave Inn, who hilariously have photos of "your" bronty in their car park...some locals thought it would be a good idea to move it overnight from the caves to the pub...

The poor landlord was in shock for days after looking out of his bedroom window!!!

It was, 15 years ago, a fantastic pub/hotel...I'm sure it still is, just can't vouch for it as I haven't been there since then!

JG x

Well stuff yer olives then, Suze. See if I care.

Ey top canapes, or canopies as Renee prefers to call 'em. Can't beat pan-fried cod in batter on pea wet jus.

As it happens I promised Renee the rare treat of fish and chips from the local chipper for tea if she behaved 'erself; and within 30 seconds of enterin' Tommy Chippy's establishment, I was joined by a large chap in a vest who boomed, "Chips, peas, gravy an' 2 smacks please luv. An' a babby's yed an' pea wet."

Marvellous. Ah, the joys a fine dinin'.

Clodagh.xx

Oy Steve get yer mitts off my pie an' chips, yous'll be gettin' one a them smacks wit yer Swarfega.

xx

Good hevening beveryody,

I don't usually attend FNWC as I don't normally drink at home, but tonight is an exception to the rule.
For anyone who came over here pronto from the last blog, it's worth going back to the last one to see a very funny post from Les, made after Chris blogged tonight.
Cracked me up anyway!

Cheers Janey, It may not be fizzy, but it sure is pink.

ta ta lin x

Good evening everyone,

I thought I'd come and join FNWC and raise a glass to Beez!

Annie I'm sure Samuel is gorgeous, any bruising from trauma will soon go away. Is he home yet?

What plans do you all have for the weekend?

I'm going to tidy the house as we have someone coming to view it, fingers crossed this maybe the one but after so long I don't get my hopes up any more! Once the house is clean I will be taking the kids out so they don't wreck it again ;-)

My internet connection is rubbish at the mo but I will be popping back as it allows.

Love to everyone MCM xx

MTF Where are you, I suppose your still out working.

csn xx

Shove up... room for a big one???

Oh, don't touch my feet!!

Hiya Suz

Hope you are having a lovely time - aren't dolphins wonderful, we have seen them in most of the oceans and seas of the world.

Now then what happens if I twiddle that knob - oops sorry hope that wasn't too cold for you all, boiling temp restored.

mtd ffb xxx

MC x

Don't give me that Steve. Yous went right pale just then.

My aul Grandma always used to say,

"You look pale. 'Ave you pumped?"

See. Can always tell. Can't cod them that's codded thousands.

Clodagh.xx

Ewww!! Clodagh!!

Right, stuff thrown at suitcase, done!

Right, who's for a top up?

JG x

Oh it's getting a bit hot now......nothing to do with the pink fizz of course! Think I might get out for a bit, shall I get the drinks in? What's everyone having?


xx

Hey hey it's the man formerly known in these parts as Mentals...if there is any room in here for a bit of a randomner...
It's thanks to Kate and Cheryl I'm with you guys again and of course Beez. I had a bit of a scare last year with the internet so distanced myself from maintaining online relationships which is why I disappeared quite rudely and even unfriended some people on FB.
Beez being a bit of a star even sent me a msg checking everything was ok. Me being a stupid person never got back to her and when I read what had happened on Thursday night a pang of guilt struck within me and I suspect will remain for a long time.
So there you have it, my biggest of apologies to everyone for acting like a silly boy.
And to Beez, I think friends are the biggest tribute and legacy that anyone can leave in their passing so yeah in this regard at least I'd say you can be well proud of your work in this world. RIP x

Well in fairness Annie, I've never eaten tortellini since that incident wit Renee's bunion plaster.

MwK,

Well i best have water seeing as i'm getting blamed for doings here :(

Steve :-D

Welcome back Music! Now get the pink fizz/beers/wine and you'll be forgiven!! LOL

JG x

Aw Clodagh, you minger - no olives, now no pasta. xxx

Hallo Music Geek.

Sorry Steve the only water tonight is whats in the hot tub! I have an ice cold beer with your name on it!


xx

evening (afternoon) all,

Just thought I'd drop in while waiting for Mr to come home after a week away.

No alcotroll for me alas, but I'm here raising a glass of ginger beer instead. Cheers everyone, here's to Beez.

Now then, any one for salt n vinegar crisps? don't drop 'em in the water mind...

Dragonxx

Right, I'm looking more and more like a prune so I'm getting out. Oops sorry MTD was that your foot? Now I'm tangled up in something... wha... WHO'S is the string vest? c'mon, own up!! ouch pfftht....b****r

Night all,

Lin x

Music -geek, get your swimming trollies on and get in, Beez would be glad to know you are here again.

Steve, water ??? no way josé

MC x

Nearly ready for another red here - this is fun isn't it. Haven't you been on t'other side Music? Mind you it is tumbleweed city over there at this time of night....

mtd ffb xxx

Nite Lin.

Hi Music xx

Hi Dragon xx

Quick, grab my phone will you, ...... i said ...my phone .......

MC - hahaha

FNWC ? I'm guessing Friday Night - but no idea about the WC ;-)

Night Lin xx

Hi Purple , cheers xx

Nite Lin xx

Les, it's Wine Club .

Ta :-)

Hi Annie, thanks MC...been a while since I've had the hottub action, and yeah Lol JG I think I can stretch to some of the pink stuff, and then some...

I have been on the other side MTD but not for ages either, I'm a bit of a drifter with the blogs, such is the fish-like attention span I seem to have :-)

Hope everyone is doin ok here

Les, get a grip - Friday Night Wine Club. xxxx

Well that's better. GD gone home after sponging tea of the parents so fizz poured and the cossie on - can I slide in pleeze?

Hiya Troops:

This is definitely a first. I have come on the blog, and have not read any postings since around lunchtime today. I hate it when I am out of the loop!

The only thing I have gleaned through speeding through is that mtd: it didn't work out for you today. I am really sorry to see that. Hope you are ok, over the weekend, I will hopefully catch up, but would say to you that something will be out there for you. xx

Hope everyone is alright. I spoke today with a girl that I worked with 5 years ago - we stay in touch regularly. I told her about Beez, and about Chris playing Afternoon Delight in her honour. She said to me that yesterday, she was home, listening to Chris and she heard the record being played for "The Mighty Beez" and she said to her husband (knowing none of the particulars) "wow, what a terrific song to be played for whoever "Beez" is. When I told her today about this wonderful lady, she was gobsmacked that, for some reason, she had really paid attention to who the song was played for!!

Gosh, I hate this laptop!

C x

Right am outa here, 'ave gone all wrinkly.. oy what's all this string? Oh HURRAH, anybody for the spoon-an'-fork-tied-together-wit-string game?

Ah no just a minute. Yous 'ave to thread it through your clothes. Hmm maybe not. Lambrusco, anybody?

Clodagh.xx

Now MG, why are you a music geek? Give us a clue.

xxxx

Hiya Chrissie - have a large one poured for you after a couple you won't notice the laptop ;o) xx



xx

Well Clodagh them there wrinkles look ok on you. Give yousel a quick dry off and get in the fluffy robe and pop back for a top up x

Annie what a lovely little chap young Samuel looks. He has a wise look about him in the photos, bless x

Hiya Chrissie,

Thats a lovely story . How is your shoulder doing ?

MC x
