Shame no Irn Bru though Dr Filth....like it though.

Should have seen the wines when Chirac went through Windsor! Perhaps times were better.....maybe he was a better connoisseur of wine.

Bet the Secret Service was crawling the place, so hence M being present - to protect M. And AOG, as to jokes and humour, how many have you placed over on that section? I rest my case viz. my contributions, MoFC and GMEB not withstanding - wit see GMEB yesterday for the latter.

[ummmm]

Huh?

Are you saying AOG should read the MOFC and GMEB threads to see that you have a sense of humour?

Would AOG even know what they stood for?

[DTCwordfan]

lol - well you do, ummmm, so there's hope for AOG!

Inspired by this talk about pineapples I have just bought one on ebay. 2.49 with free postage and packing. Cores, peels and slices in one movement. They are a cheap enough fruit which I often ignore due to exterior. No more!

[mccfluff]

mighty orange french chicken

and

guess my entertainment budget

[mccfluff]

you bought a pineapple on ebay that peels and cores itself?

[grasscarp]

mcfluff you know what I meant to say. A pineapple corer.
what we need is something when you submit that says "please read through what you have just put and only press submit when you are sure there are no typos, because someone will come along and correct you if there are any!"

[EcclesCake]

The wastage from a pineapple corer would have me weeping in the wings. A knife is all that is needed......and now a pineapple as I have taken the fancy :-(

[mccfluff]

but typos are fun... unless you're me, in which case they are usually toe curlingly embarrasing

and besides a self peeling & coring pineapple would be an amazing thing

[grasscarp]

Typos are fun. My daughter works in the legal profession. She received a letter from a client saying "We feel we have been backed into a coroner"...

[Bazile]

Who brought up the subject of pineapples ?

[Brenden]

I thought the table looked absolutely beautiful - and I think (given a chance ) I would have enjoyed the feast.

[Mamyalynne]

Want a gentle hint Baz?

[DrFilth]

don't worry aog i will save you a small tin of heinz
