Yes!

Christmas meal, in the evening. Is anywhere open and serving food locally? I have so far discovered that Palmerston, Franklins, Forest Hill Tavern, and Herne Tavern aren't. (Serving meals, that is, some of them are open just for drinks).

Thanks PGC! And Happy Birthday Georgia! Peckhamgatecrasher Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Happy birthday, Georgia. > > And belated one to LB.

Thanks bob, but Sainsburys wine sales? "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" ;-) bob Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Happy Birthday Geo & LB Sainsburys wine sales leap > again. > Bob S

Ah thanks folks. Had a lovely weekend away and contrary to forecasts it didn't rain in Wales, sparing me the troublesome issue of trying to look glamorous in waterproofs. Phew.

And I wasn't a bit embarassed by the rousing chorus of "happy birthday". Really I wasn't. Tuneful, harmonious and heartfelt. What more could I ask for. :))

You're definitely in the running keef.........

I can do 8 just about.......

All (sensible) suggestions will be tried out and I'll let you know if any work, and if I think anyone deserves a free sarnie and bottle of wine. No one has ruled themselves out completely yet, though some are doing better than others.... ;-)

HB, it's a long shot, but I hear you.

I heard you Jah, thanks for the suggestion, and I'll be testing it out. But you've forfeited your free bacon sarnies for life for swearing at me and starting a sarky thread. So there.

Thanks Keef, something else I'll look into. And to answer the other question, we have looked into installing the extractor fan but there are planning and cost issues so I'm looking for another way.

Because it is so that we can serve food to the public, and if I am going to ask for your hard earned cash I'd like what I'm serving to taste nice. So I'm going to try it out, but it needs to be very good indeed before I'll put it on the menu and ask for your money. And I make no apologies for that.

Well I wouldn't care. If I loved him and was happy, and it was a significant thing for him to give me a particular piece of jewellry, or none at all, I wouldn't care.

Hmmmm. I take your point HAL but that just doesn't SOUND tasty, you know?

what's not to understand ImpetuousVrouw? Let me try to explain. A bunch of rich privileged people will spend some of our moeny on an over indulgent wedding. They will wear marvellous hats. Posh frock designers will fling themselves at Ms Middleton like commuters at a departing tube train. Heads of state will be dressed in the kind of outfits you never ever see at any other time. David Dimbleby will be sucking throat sweets for weeks beforehand. Small shiny faced children will wave union jacks and cheer. Crowds will throng along Pall Mall. Bunting will flutter, sales of tea and scones will go through the roof, and we will know all the lyrics to all the versus of the national anthem. Soldiers will have alarmingly well buffed-busbies. The sun will shine. London will look beautiful. Life will be full of hope and smiles again. Oooooooh I LOVE a good wedding. How could you NOT be excited? Money, even tax payers hard earned money, can't buy that sort of fun!

They'll have to go some to beat my Benedictaphone which I got specially for the visit of his holiness - that's just superb.

Keef, I would tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.........

In case there was any doubt, I wasn't taking the piss earlier either. I love a good royal wedding complete with David Dimbleby voice over: "Ah yes and now Princess Maude is just arriving, looking resplendent in fuscia and purple........Princess Maude of course is the one hundred and thiry seven year old second neice twice removed of Prince Charles's cousin's late goldfish......." Bloody marvellous. Can't wait. And we haven't even got on to the subject of commemorative mugs yet...........

I waited about 2 years, that was 5 years ago, and our waiting list is now about 5 years.......

WHAT????? The monarch-to-be pops the quezzie after nine snooze worthy years and you're all off! Not about me??? Fickle. That's what you are. Fickle. Hurrumph.

Bastards have stolen my thunder! Who gives a toss about the royal derangement, this was supposed to be my happy birthday curry night!
