CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

The girls are hiding away these days, perhaps they are so very busy with the Christmas preparations.
Hope you put the kettle on Socco, always the duty of the first one in :-)

Just like Socco, the kettle is hot and ready. There is tea, coffee and a virtually limitless number of beverages to select, what is your fancy?

Good morning. Woke up this morning with 3 tattoos. Must of been a good crimbo party last night.

Tea will be nice Socco, like you a bit of a traditionalist.
Had a look at my portfolio movements and barring an unexpected event like a miracle I think it is going to be a boring day on the market for me.

Who were the tattoos on?

Opto
Tea coming up, I'll make an fresh pot though, the early pot is a bit stewed by now.

Oh dear, I have to go out. Not allowed to sit here all day chatting, back in a couple of hours or so.

Morning people!
:>)

I see Socs has been enlisted for Xmas shopping ;>)

Lunch menu today will be as follows:

Roast beef, yorkshires, roast tatties, peas and carrots
OR
Aubergine bake with mushrooms and roasted vine toms

Sherry trifle
OR
baked Alaska

Due to a cronic shortage after yesterdays binge, there is no Guinness
until tomorrow morning's delivery but complimentary wine and lager is available
as a substitute.
:>)

no guinness - see ya lata. :o( xx

There's always some Guinness Kivver :-)

dont listen to the bunny, we have emergency supplies :-)

Hi opto, Fundy, stockbunny says ''computer says nooo'' and we all know the girls always wear the trousers.

Not when it comes to beer supplies!

Now look chaps I'm going by the stock cupboard and cellar but if Opto or Fundy has some hidden somewhere then you may be in luck. I still find secret hordes of Bods from time to time, under floorboards, behind pipes, in the coal shed from when our dear Pouchy was about so nothing when it comes to our gentlemen and their favourite tipple will surprise me!

;0)

I'm back and not too financially challenged by the shopping. Her-indoors demanded a visit to a farm shop, 30 miles away to boot. Funny thing, when we got there I found they also sold Italian Handbags. Still, it has solved that perrenial question of what to buy for crimbles.

Bags of fresh veg and a few other oddments will save a few items on the list for the last pre-crimble trolley race.

Now, regards the Guinness, Stockbunners does not know this but there is a direct pipeline under the Irish Sea to the Guinness well. So despite her doubts, there is no shortage. That bottle stuff is only for visitors, the real stuff comes out of the tap in the bar marked "Not for washing".

Oh dear - why didn't someone tell me this before I got the plumber to
plumb in the new washing machine - I wondered what that aroma was
on the t-towels!
;>)

Well Socco has had a good morning, very convenient that the farmshop was selling Italian handbags :-)

Oh I don't know....leather...farm shop...it has a related quality
;>)

You girls, you are always a step ahead of us! We are like lambs being led to slaughter :-/

Opto
I believe it may not have been too much of a coincidence.

stockbunny
I thought 'T' towels always smell like that!
