Cokkney rhyming slang?

Nah, these ones are ok as far as Bankers go. First time i'd met the boss and he also seemed sound. They like the look of the Dalraida but observed that:

Too much menu choice for too little customers.
Staff to Customer ratio was 1:2.
Service was bitty: 2 of us had more or less finished our main courses before the other two had theirs delivered.

A right barrell of laughs they were.

Meantime you could have been having a laugh with me in your office... Ach well. My walk of shame was quite a jaunty stroll, since you two weren't there!
BTW, having avatar trouble, or has my PC got PMS? Your cat seemed to have grown rather swollen when last I looked, and now has vanished completely. Did he explode?

Oh, no, he's right there - i think my computer's definitely having a bad day.

Cockney - it's too easy to get round the filter!

Nah, what I done would work even without...

Yes, well - moving swiftly on...

Well, no word from Gail - I imagine she's probably a bit upset about Spike. So it's just the 12 of us but if anyone would like to join us afterwards for a drink they would be most welcome. We'll be the drunken rabble in the corner. There's still room at the inn for any latecomers for Xmas lunch. Just pay your Ã‚Â£10 deposit at the bar before the 4th.

Bob are we just meeting at the table or in the bar?

Think there is a common consensus that 2.00 is too late to start drinking and we really ought to start in the bar of "The Dalriada" that little bit sooner

The question now is how much sooner? How about 1.00 p.m.?

BTW I want to last the pace so that I can stay out till the bitter end.....and then my other half won't disappear off to camp (yes, I'm talking tents here) in Glencoe, taking the car with him

Beach Babe · Post by **Beach Babe** » 04 Dec 2004, 10:44

we wont be there till nearer 2 o'clock

Marya - I'm assuming that your OH is insane. Camping! in a tent! at this time of year! at Glencoe!

I'm assuming that your OH is insane

Without a shadow of a doubt....

Apologies to everyone, Bearcub said that I was very drunk on Saturday and if I was obnoxious to anyone I am sorry.

Sandra,you were great company (not obnoxious in the slightest) and Bearcub is either winding you up or can't remember too clearly himself

Epykat · Post by **Epykat** » 06 Dec 2004, 18:23

Sandra, you were lovely!

You weren't obnoxious in the least and we'll all be delighted to come to the wedding - all day, even the meal and Marya can't wait to be a bridesmaid........

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 06 Dec 2004, 20:46

But please, not a pink frock, ok?

Beach Babe · Post by **Beach Babe** » 06 Dec 2004, 21:36

hmmmmm

why do I get the feeling that Sandra is probably seriously considering eloping

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 06 Dec 2004, 22:14

Absolutely

though my nieces would never forgive me if I did!
