CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

LOL of course you can have a cup of tea BL :>)
JS - just stand well back when he wakes up!

Good morning Bluey. Obviously as you will have gathered from yesterdays discussion, I reserve the red rose instead of the trout for those who are of a beautiful feminine disposition (although come to think of it, I might have got a response if I'd used the trout) :-)

Thanks for the cup of tea stockbunny.

Well J Stratford, I must admit you would certainly have got a response if you had used the trout, but whether it was the correct reponse is another matter. Mind you neither was the reponse for the red rose either....you romantic ;0).

Anyway one of the best ways to wake Keaydian is to put a guinness by his nose.

I tell you what, next time we'll marinade the trout in Guinness first and see what happens... all in the name of science of course :-)

Bunny, don't worry - standing well back!!!

I'm going to stand on the bar, just to be safe!

Sniff sniff..................zzzz zzzz zzzz

Oh goody... there's a girl standing on the bar. I've been to these types of clubs before ;-)

Good morning Keaydian just to let you know there is a female standing on the bar, lol.

J Stratford, a good response. Made me laugh.

Now there's two possible comments I can make now... I can either go with the very laddish one which I will leave to your imagination or I can suggest that I was a poor young impressionable lad who had been led into 'those types' of clubs under false pretences. The again possible shutting up before Bunny bars me from her wonderful baking might be the best idea.

Shutting up now :-)

I don't know can't even stand on the bar these days! ;>)
If he's stirring I'm heading for the kitchen well out of the way...

I was going to suggest we had fish for lunch, but having seen K. with the trout, I've gone right off the idea.

OOOwww....no I don't fancy that idea a lot or either idea come to think of it LOL
How about some noodles with spring veggies?

J Stratford, what on earth was Keaydian doing with the trout?

Stockbunny, all this talk of fish has made me go into the freezer and make a fish pie this evening, lol.

BL - I wouldn't ask that question if I were you LOL
Fish pie - good idea! A sideline of this happy gathering possibly is recipe ideas :>)

Yawn.

Ah morning all, what a strange dream I had about Nemo.

Sniff sniff, what's that stink?

Not guilty your honour.....snigger

No comment. Talk about waking up with fish taste in your mouth :-s

On a serious note, did anyone else just hear that bit about private equity firms?

I'll take it thats a no. Basically invest 2k and have 6 million back after 3 years... better return than I make in a day :-)

I did read this the other day J Stratford
