[Jude123]

Got the message Vinny & Robinia! Haven't heard of Derby Pete, but I have heard of Pigeon Percy a well know tramp in Derby City. I bet Robinia's heard of him.

Good joke Jno. I must get started soon else snooker will be on then that'll be me finished for the day.

One day I'm going to leave all my typing errors in and give you a laugh. It takes me longer to correct than to type.

[Jude123]

Not quite like this eh Vinny?

[Robinia]

sorry Jude don't know pigeon percy....only Percy Filth....you should see some of my smelling pi*takes btw

hahaha somebody in B&S claiming to be a psychiatrist - I've made us all an appt but there's a waiting list......

[Jude123]

Robinia Pigeon Percy was about 6 foot tall and used to roam about Derby feeding the pigeons.

Jno Can't be bothered to read that long thread. Prefer the Biddyboat!

Actually done some cleaning even the inside of my car has had a wash and brushup!! Think it's time I found something to eat now. I'm off to raid the fridge!

[VINNY100_2]

Thats me finished for the day....A few beers down the old pub tonight...lovely jubley...!! I ve heard of that other percy in derby jude....he was in the news....everytime a lady walked passed him..he'd pick her up and chuck her over the hedge??

Think his name was Percy -throw-her.....hehe hahahahahaha.....(:-

[Jude123]

You're a comic Vinny. (It's the way you tell em) :o)

Enjoy your night in the pub. It's a night in for me - 'footie' on the telly. Work tomorrow.

Hi all
Just popped in to say I hope you are all.O.K.
Have just caught up with Friese and Greene ..last weeks and tonights..what a wonderful snapshot of days gone by.
We had the horrendous task of lawnmowing today ! This will teach me not keep putting things off until tomorrow ! I had to wield a machete and Mr S. had a scythe ! Shane was in his usual supervisory position ....stretched out on the patio.
Take care all..over and out... sleep well....ship ahoy
Shaney xx

hi shaney... I watched Friese-Greene too; I hope you weren't lawnmowing like the people there, swinging scythes within millimetres of each other. There was a bright golden haze on the meadow when I got up this morning but the sun seems to have gone in now, just as I was getting my hopes up for a nice day. Hope the weather holds for the SS Farewell Trollop.

[Robinia]

morning all I hope the weather is good today too especially as it's gessoo's birthday.
Is it chillout in deckchairs & cake & cocktails this afternoon then? Better not light all those candles tho' - someone might think it's a distress signal.....haha sorry gessoo, whether you are joining us or not I hope that you have a lovely day.

I'd love a canal/narrow boat & after this I'd just have to call it Farewell Trollop....are there regulations about what you can call your boats?

looks like gessoo & Vinny have started without us.....

HAPPYBIRTHDAYTOYOU!!

[jno]

[jno]

To ensure that this thread is more than mere chat, can I just tell you all that Lincoln is the capital of Nebraska.

[VINNY100_2]

Well I'd advise you not to worry about your adelgids and shot-hole disease, they shouldn't cause any lasting damage.
