You look nice

[FredaFrogspawn]

I love that top, really suits you. Where did you get it?

Don't know what you mean, being much younger than you lot [preens while rolling on 24 hour girdle and support stockings]

Window cleaner" LOL. Those of us of a certain age all know that that means

Horrifying thoughts of Sinbad from Brookside.

Please take care. Last time I preened and girdled I ended up with a poultice.

I remember @poppadopolis. My Brian was a martyr in prepping a mustard one and offering to apply hot, an offer that was rudely thrust aside. He was assiduous in his detail, that's why he had to borrow your underwear off the line to make sure they'd fit snug.

As someone said upthread, mauve??? With your complexion? You are a brave old thing.

I've got bromide - I've never had to doctor my Brian's tea - he's dead respectful and never dared broach my defences since the first man on the moon. We'd both had a small sherry to celebrate and he did think Neil Armstrong looked handsome in his moonwalk get up.

We forgot to put the goldfish back in the bowl after though. Still feel bad that Puss got Everard.

I hadn't made the connection between "your" Brian and Brian the fish killer. I thought the fish killer was much taller.

I met friends for zoom drinks last night and wore and leopard print heels...

Speaking of, I ADORE those shoes...

Ive got a sneaking suspicion that Brian the Fish Killer sometimes wears platforms. To fox people.

I thought one eyed Alan was the fish killer !!! Should have known, he's always taking credit for things he hasn't done

Well that explains his reluctance to buy a ladder then.

@Mammyloveswine - those shoes belonged to my grandfather. I treasure them.

@poppadopolis you carry off masculine chic so well!

I'm going to pour a Chardonnay, anyone care to join me?

I do like an excuse to show off my vintage crystal wine glasses..

I saw Brian lurking down the allotments. He's never been happy since his prize plums only won second prize

That was because they were shrivelled, and quite the wrong shade of purple. He'll never get first for those in any competition.

How very dare you all!!! You all have to admit my Brian has been robbed of the prize for best plums because he will not be shackled to the normal Victoria, he'll continue to champion his Purple Nancy whatever you harridans say.

[searches for bosoms to hoik]

Purple Nancy continues to champion your Brian, too... No wonder you sound so bitter.

Who won 'Largest Courgette' last year?

@Eckhart. No call for that. It was a trick of the light when the WI pic was taken; we were all doing our tried and tested 'Miss World' pose - one leg cheekily crossed against t'other - and I must say, I looked very fetching in my lilac (not mauve) jacket and skirt costume. Anyway, aforementioned shadow was construed by jealous harridans (you and @poop) as if I was smuggling an extra large courgette underneath my skirt. My Brian mopped up my tears later and assured me he'd continue to spend all his time down the allotment until he'd grown the biggest Marrow to shut you cows up. Anyhow, turns out that WI pic is his favourite and he's put it up in pride of place in his shed - right next to the topless one of Ronaldo celebrating something. My Brian's never been into football - finds it too rough - - only ever been one for tennis (he's dead refined). However, shows how open he is to all sports, also has a lovely laminated picture of that ex of Charlotte Church (lovely girl), Daniel Cipriani (sp)

Hardly lilac. Have a word with yourself. Puce. It's puce.

I just woke up in it. It’s my DH’s

I bow to your knowledge @poop. Afterall, puce is your base colourwheel according to my Brian; he's that good with colours. I'm more of a typhoid yellow - goes with everything.

Don't try and confuse me with that mumbo-jumbo colour shite.

Anyway, Brian is colour-blind as clearly evidenced by the unfortunate incident with the apple cart and the traffic lights.

Out of curiosity, what decade is Brian living in?

1940s , he's still digging for victory

Or possible an escape tunnel

Same thing, for Brian...

Are you trying to say my Brian is an uphill Gardener? I'll let you know he can plough his furrow as straight as the day is long.
