Mo's BBBBAAARRRR is open!

[MaureenMLove]

Evening. It's been too long. Get in here, chew the cud, talk crap, sound off or just sit in the corner and rock. It's your bar, your rules!

I need to stay awake until 1am. DD and the boyf are flying home from New York and I'm a bit of a geek with aeroplanes. I need to see on Flightradar that they've taken off. She's just arrived at the airport and she's shitting it, because she's a crap flyer and it's foggy. I'm getting a running commentary. I've told her to check in and go and go to the bar!

Oh GOOD, BIWI new start and all that, with retirement (wtf! You're still about 45 fgs in my book) in your sights.

My lot are heading towards graduation/the real world/the baby is in 6th form now (which is mind boggling as the baby was one reason I came across this place all those years ago!)

Poking belly buttons, whatever is that about? Please don't make me watch.

Nah I've got a nose piercing and the snot takes the path of least resistance, which is out the nostrils. Lots of people ask me this though.

60!! OMG!! I can still see him on that yacht, hair blowing in the wind!

I was doing an English lesson with yr 8s today and they were writing a job advert for a spy. We did feed back and the girl was saying all the things you had to have to be a spy. She was saying 'secretive, sly, clever and under 40. I said 'oh that's me! I'll have that job! And I heard someone at the back of the class say, 'yeah right, OK, she's under 40!' Cheeky fuckers! 😂

That's good to know Klep :) does it get sore when you get a cold?

dd is at university now. It's a bit weird without her. I'm trying to remember which year it was I met you Mo.

.

You don't have to be clever to be a spy! Look at Jonny English!

Dare I rock up at this bar? Of course I do. I bring a litre bottle of Grand Marnier.

Hold your glasses out, I'm pouring!

Those shoulder pads 😂

mmm Grand Marnier.

I'm hungry and thirsty now.

Oh God, I wish I was still 45!

I'm not mentioning my age, I'm youthful

I should wake DH up and go to bed really.

DS1 has been back here for a few days but he's gone back to Uni today and it always makes me a little bit sad when I see the bedroom empty again.

Grand Marnier will not your Thirst slake.

That'll be the ciderrr you be wantin' kitty

But I ain't none.

It was 2009 Kitten, Ive just checked the pictures of the kids with Sir Steve Redgrave!

I remember 45. Twas last month. When I was reminded I wasn't in actual fact 46. Who knew memory vagueness set in so early? (I blame the kids).

Hoorayvfor people I recognise

I've been out abd drank three bottles of prosecco with a friend

Now I'm home on the gin

Sparkles my unichild is just home tonight. She's fractured her wrist 😟

I'll have. Grand Marnier! To be fair, I'll drink anything right now. Dd has just text to say she's boarding in a minute and I feel I need to stay awake until she takes off now, to make a point that I'm not old and I can stay up late on a Friday night!

Well this is very lovely and cosy, isn't it? . Just like old times!

Oh no RJ how did she do that?

2009???
/faints
I remember my phone making an indiscreet taking a photo noise.

:( RJ

I need chips.

I need bed!

Night you lot, I feel like a gatecrasher but you're all lovely

That toaster - was the pepper as in ground or as in sliced red yellow or orange? Sorry can’t remember who posted!

Toastie even 😂

Something about a fight in a takeaway and falling badly

Sometimes I try not to listen too hard

I had sweet potato wedges earlier. If someone orders chips I'll pour a round of drinks.
