BiddyGrotto

[Robinia]

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.

I can't say it enough What a brilliant thread! Full of wit, humour and reminiscences (spelling?)

can I borrow the colander for me poor head?

[Jude123]

Quick Jno get in the cupboard under thre biddy grotto stairs thats always the favourite place to hid in this house!!!!

[Robinia]

eek indeed jno - well handled by you though if I may say so. It will be banished pretty soon.
I'm no good at anagrams, but that name looks like one - apologies if it's really obvious - got me fuzzy head on today.
In the meantime here's a maximum strength colander.....sorry about the bits of sprouts in the holes, Vinny was the last one to use it.

[jno]

not exactly an anagram - if you hold it up to a mirror and stand on your head it sort of looks like Homer Simpson. But this is so bad for my circulation.

[netibiza]

Oh dear oh dear - now jno don't tell me you are AB Ed! I would also like to know if you are he or she. Shall we have a public hanging - let's vote.

jno will have to hide in the biddyloo under it's proven they are not ED (what's wrong with being Ed anyway?) I quite like Ed.

jno you supply the biddychoccy drink and biscuits and I'll let the matter drop.

Passes Jno a suply of Izal,Lifebuoy soap and a couple of copies of Reveille and Titbits to read whilst hiding out in the Biddy cupboard.I'll be along later with my primus stove to make you some mousetrap on toast.

[Robinia]

oooer I really wish I hadn't done that.....

jno you really shouldn't stand on your head wearing a colander - looks like you have some terrible skin complaint across your forehead now.

[Robinia]

the Biddies call a summit meeting to discuss jno's fate

well they have a meeting about summit anyway

[jno]

he or she... I'm from Middlesex

[shaneystar2]

You always get one !!
We have a bright spark over on Q&P who is forever picking holes and criticising whether or not people have used upper or lower case letters and as for apostrophes..he goes bananas.
They are puzzles ..so ephemeral they are forgotten about the next day. I get so mad ! He gave me some spiel about being a VIP. So I told him must be an M.P as they are always full of hot air.

[netibiza]

.......but jno it's important to know if you're he or she cos you'll need a nightshirt and nightcap as per Vinny and IAP esp if we are all cramming into that bed as shaney suggested. Else it's the old flannel nightie a la biddy

[shaneystar2]

Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,
Up stairs and down stairs in his night-gown,
Tapping at the window, crying at the lock,
"Are the children in their bed, for it's now ten o'clock?"
