Pick a Rose

[dulwichmum]

I nominate Ms Polly Dorner, because she is really nice and she looks like a super model. We can say Polly is my sister, and then she can enter because my parents are Irish.

[dulwichmum]

Er, actually, they were just my adoptive parents, as my real "birth" type parents were Russian aristocrats - clearly...

[Dannyboy]

Aha, Dulwich Mumski! Just as well there isn't a Rose of Volgograd competition: I'm sure you'd walk it :)

Actually, I was thinking of a Dulwich entrant for the male escort section. I'm not sure if it would be fair to the other female contestants to allow any of the gorgeous women of Dulwich to enter the Rose competition itself.

Aoibhinn Ni Sh?illeabh?in ?!?!?! that's not a name, that's what happens when you fall on a french keyboard!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

MP - I know Yvonne Sullivan very well and she would be insulted by your-keyboard-as-creationism theory!

[Keef]

I never understood why they spell shivon SIOBHAN :-S Weirdos ;-)

[SeanMacGabhann]

As a 'Pool fan Keef your Celtic awareness should be better

But the wink at the end stopped me from "pointing out the error of your ways"

Mores the pity...

;-)

[dulwichmum]

Indeed Sean, everyone was called that name on my street as a child.

dont know if it still happens now but there used to be regional heats held in the swan in stockwell,it was actually a fairly good nights craic. on another note dm when i was a young buck roaming the leafy lanes of armagh i was deemed suitably handsome enough to be an escort on several occasions in both county and provincial heats of the rose actually did it 3 times. anyone ever hear of the term "a spare prick at a wedding" well that sums up escort duty in one phrase.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I was never deemed escort material spacedtownboy but I had to attend many a rural Irish wedding - and the phrase you used describes my experience perfectly too

Ahh memories...

[dulwichmum]

Oh Spadetownboy,

I bet you are a looker! My sister was escorted by this chap who later went on to be a priest - I think she still writes to him. She wore a cerise pink "ra-ra" dress and had a great big spiral perm. I was so proud of my big sister, I remember my mother weeping with pride!

lord almighty i was glad of the smoking ban after that pile of pants, was able to nip out at my leisure and not miss a thing,maybe its not a bad idea after all.

[mockney piers]

wasn't a great day for wexford was it! Pub smelled very much of stale fags. I never thought that could be a sweet smell, but I may have to alter my thinking ;)

[Keef]

Ah the Swan, a place that holds disturbing memories for most of us.... I'm sure Mrs Keef told me she fell down a flight of stairs in there on more than one occasion.... That's my girl! :)-D

Well, there isn't quite a Rose of Volgograd competition but the annual Miss Nuclear Russia is quite a hoot. If you're Russian and work in the nuclear power/nuclear weapons industry, this is the beauty competition for you. This year's winners can be found here and I'm sure with her impeccable Russian parentage, Dulwich Mum would beat the lot of them hands down.

Do you think they glow in the dark?

[mockney piers]

Fantastic!!! I love the one with the silly hat :))

[Keef]

I mentioned Dodgeball on another thread, and that's reminded me of Fran Stalinofskivichdavidovitchsky! Sean will know what I'm talking about ;-)

David's post that is.

[Jah Lush]

That's easy for you to say Keef.

Is it me or are all the shots are little, er, 'porny'?

As Boney M so poignantly observed "Oooooh, those russians"
