CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Aye.

Choccie - LOL - never thought of that! ;>)
JS - you're welcome, fair trade for a slice of homemade fruit cake :>)

Talking of feus, I had a visit from an angry French Pompier last week after I managed to fill our apartment and the corridor outside with smoke because I couldn't work out how to use the oven which we left on while we went out for a stroll round the shops for an hour. The rather attractive joint of pork stuffed with salmon got cremated in the process.

:o)

Hi J Stratford,

You sound very intelligent re listen to advice from parents and quite an adventurer re not going to take the advice due to being part of the fun of life. And an absolute delight re fruit cake, although is that in preparation for Christmas? And just heaven-sent to be able to use your own mix of spices in a dish!!!

Hi optomistic,

You have just reminded me of another variation of my real name ;0). Hadn't been called that one since I was a wee impressionable young female and I adored the male who called me it. He was the only one who had the audacity to say such a variation of my name!!! A signed copy of my book.......now there is a thought.....

Hils
I guess you must be good at other things

Bluey; Intelligent? - maybe not, Adventurer? - more like black sheep, Fruit cake? - I just happen to like it, although I can do chocolate if you want, Heaven-sent? - would explain a lot as all the girls I know seem to enjoy being treated like dirt instead of the Princesses that I see them as.

Now is it just me, or are we all sitting here trying to come up with combinations of Opto's name that would leave an impression on a young female?!

Err I'm not but on balance I think that would be understandable LOL
;>)

Technical things like ovens are best left to the boys, Jeffie. I won't be touching one again for a while.

:o)

Hi J Stratford,

You mean to say the females you have met have not appreciated your cullinary skills? I love chocolate in any form so yes I would like a piece of chocolate cake.

In case it was misread, my real name variation (the one of which optomistic reminded me but I had forgotten all about) that was called by the male that I admired, was to do with the budgie!!!!

Would it have been 'chirpy' ? ;-)

Fat bird? :-)

Who's a naughty boy ;)

Hi optomistic,

No, it was a variation of my real name, ;0) If I went into all my nicknames I would have lost count.

Kayak, since when could a budgie be classed as a fat bird...;0)

JS,

All girls like a bit of rough. I should know ......... I ended up marrying mine. Treat 'em mean and keep 'em keen he says.

:o)

Kayak, duck and run fast :-)

OK, I'm out here. Pint of guinness and a burger tonight while watching the footie

A budgie could be fat if it was a forgetfull bulimic.

Hi Keaydian,

That is brilliant, but not only in my youth was I slim but I still am slimmish. It's all that swinging on the perch ;0).

Go back to sleep Keaydian! LOL
