A very Happy New Years Eve welcome to all , i realise many will be busy doing other things but the doors are open and the table is groaning with delights. A trip to the cellar has also produced some tasty tipples, this weeks guest tailcock is

' Old Long Sign' has a seasonal sense to it and a gentle sparkle that augurs good cheer.

For the Rofl :

2 Christmas crackers
Tin foil star
12 AAA batteries
Another bag of pine needles

pair of gloves (one green one purple)

I may be somewhat preoccupied this evening as have family staying in the coach house and a VIP in the west wing, so do no stand on ceremony and help yourselves to all treats.

Happy New Year Everyone.(Typed this thread out once and lost it)Large Tailcock please Matron. Thought the Butler would be here to take my coat. Its my best coat and I hoped he would have got rid of the smell of mothballs.Stronger smell than usual ( won in a previous riffle.) For tonights riffle I have a bottle of home-made vodka.Just keep it away from open flames.

The Pink Polar Bear never makes his AB bed;
He sleeps on a cake of B00 instead.
He has no blanket, no quilt, no sheet
Except the Jayne and snow and maggiebee.
He drifts about on a white pixi floe
While seadogg winds howl and blizzards blow
And the temperature drops to forty below.
The Pink Polar Bear never makes his bed;
The shortplanks blanket he pulls up over his head
Is lined with soft and feathery alba snow.
If ever he rose and fliptheswitch the light,
He would find a world of waterboat white,
And NoMmie icebergs floating through the night.

So sorry to be away so long, the guests are quite frazzling me out, I thank you all for your good wishes and rofl prizes.

A hot pork roast is now straight from the Aga and in light of the absence of other staff I shall carve it for you.

[grasscarp]

Beware of the sheep
He's a bard in disguise
With wool for a coat
and placards for eyes.
He'll write you a poem
Then drink your house dry
till the shepherd is calling
and he'll bleet bye bye

[maggiebee]

May I add a verse or two to 'Old Long Sign' hic

There's a good old Scottish custom that has stood the test o'time,
It's a custom that's been carried out in every land and clime.
When brother Scots are gathered, it's aye the usual thing,
Just before we say good night, we fill our cups and sing...

Just a wee deoch an doris, just a wee drop, that's all.
Just a wee deoch an doris afore ye gang awa.
There's a wee wifie waitin' in a wee but an ben.
If you can say, "It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht",
Then yer a'richt, ye ken.
