It seems we're not getting any changes on AB 'til after xmas so I've set up a grotto for us. Sorry it's a bit like a scene from Great Expectations but I've sprayed a few cobwebs silver & blown the dust off me doileys so please come in & sit down.
What do all the biddies/grumps want to find in their wrinkly stockings this year then? Do you like all this festivity or will you be the grumpy gran/grandpa from hell this year?
Please feel free to take a present out of the bran tub as you leave by the way. Contents may be unidentifiable....oops sorry...be varied.

woofgang, if you're going to poop in your fridge you will always get a funny smell...

Hello jno - nice to see you in here - are you old enough?

[jno]

hi neti - as I explained earlier, I can remember life before television, which makes me extremely ancient indeed. But I'm still waiting for my application to be approved by the Biddybank youngsters. (Actually, at the moment I'm clutching my jaw in my hands and moaning while I wait for my emergency dental appointment - they couldn't see me till 8pm! Nice of them to work that late on my account, really.)

[Robinia]

Afternoon all!

pokes neti in the ribs......Hi jno, anyone as wise as you doesn't need to declare their age.

woofgang I've had the whiffy condenser too - leave it Vinny.....you should go in my local Iceland, some of all the freezers/coolers pong sommink awful. Puts me orf it does.

(It's a good thing you can zoom to the last page & reverse to where you left off on this thread!)

[jno]

thank you robinia but if I were truly wise I would know how to rise above the pain of toothache, and I don't <whimpers quietly and checks clock again, still not 8pm>

[Robinia]

Poor you, it's a pain that no one can ignore jno & there's nothing worse than waiting for appointments. I hope you feel better after your dentist visit.
I bet there's a swig of whiskey around the place if you need something to numb it in the meantime - it works for neti's brain.

Um..got lost..thought we were on page 7..got to page 23 and come up against here this

.Ive been up to page 1,000...!.Okay, who's the joker who put us back on page 4.!!!!.robinia's got a whiffy condenser...how long they been calling it that then.....woofys been pooping in her fridge..!..you leave this place for a ..bit..and you all go mad.....no more cake for you lot.look out IAP,netti's posting more pictures than you are....(keep it up netti)( :)

[woofgang]

lol jno, it certainly smelt like something had pooped in the fridge but it wasn't me...welcome anyway. Fridge is now clean and poop free (and back loaded and in place....oooh my aching sacro-illiac).

I was thinking the same about the run to the end and reverse...as a biddy, that's what I tend to spend my life doing, reversing till I can remember what I was going to do then rushing off to do it quick before I forget again.

Condenser tray was swimming with unidentifiable goo, wondered whether to leave it alone on the grounds that I might have discovered a new life form....anyway have dumped the goo down the ladslav (no sense in messing up the nooloo) so if you start singing in there and something joins in, you will know where it came from

[shaneystar2]

Poor jno. I had three teeth out last week .There is nothing worse than toothache. Have one of my famous toddies and then you will feel better.!

[woofgang]

jno - I also have an emergency appointment with the dentist tomorrow at 12.30 (emergency huh made it last Friday!!) it's absolute agony everytime I shut my mouth - which is never according to Mr Netibiza, pain even goes up to my eye. So you're not as ill as me!!! But I am an absolute coward at dentists, I really am, I shout and moan and growl, it's amazing what I can do with my gob wedged open!!! ouch now you've reminded me.

[netibiza]

For jno -

ouch

Netti is rocking away the last of her days on her front porch in Ibiza, reflecting on her long life, when all of a sudden a fairy godmother appears in front of her and informs her that she will be granted three wishes.

"Well, now," says the old lady, "I guess I would like to be really rich."

POOF Her rocking chair turns to solid gold.

"And, gee, I guess I wouldn't mind being a young, beautiful princess."

POOF She turns into a beautiful young woman.

"Your third wish?" asked the fairy godmother. Just then Netti's cat wanders across the porch in front of them. "Ooh, can you change him into a handsome prince?" she asks.

POOF There before her stands a young man more handsome than anyone could possibly imagine. She stares at him, smitten. With a smile that makes her knees weak, he saunters across the porch and whispers in her ear: "Bet you're sorry now you had me neutered."

[jno]

yes, those are my teeth all right neti. Poor you, waiting all week for an emergency appointment, you have my sympathies. I find that laughing at gessoo's jokes hurts my face, unfortunately.

[gessoo]

Now back to that boring, boring housework!! I'm not very good at it. I keep stopping and finding better things to do, and besides that it makes me poor old knees ache - better pop out and buy some surgical fishnet stockings!

Have enjoyed all the thousands of postings and see Netti has learned to post pictures!!!

See you soon.

Now must get on. Where should I start........

Gesso's Living Room

[gessoo]

Nice to see you jno. Can you remember those magnifier screens that you hung over the 9" television sets in the early 50's?

[netibiza]

gessoo this is my lounge guess I'll tidy it soon

villa

[gessoo]

That looks more like the new Biddyloo with two thrones!

[jno]

sure gessoo - used to hang them over the radio too, made the Goons sound larger than life.
