TillieTrotter Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Tillie Trotter - did you realise what a bag of worms you were opening with your pleasant sentiment?It would seem that some people could find something to argue about even if they were in a room on their own!Of course I did, open the can, sit back and watch the predictable.

lozzyloz Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 On a serious point. I did notice Goose Green looking a bit forlorn and naked today seeing as in medieval times there'd have been much frolicking and sheep grazing on this day. Perhaps we should organise something and make it bit of money for charity?Keef . . . the sheep?

Brendan Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 In the name of St George! You?re not going to leave me in charge of the barbie queuing are you? Firstly you are making an incorrect assumption that I can be trusted with the responsibility of feeding people. Secondly I will be in close proximity to both alcohol and fire.

Brendan Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Right right. Dress the foreigner up as a clown. Ha ha. Sheeesh I thought we were being progressive here.
