to be most aggrieved that I did not get married off in the last IPOAT thread? Won't someone think of Nigel?

[BeribbonedGibbon]

Well, am I?

Has it been raining?

Here we go. I think I am going to go for the lampshade look

yay

I like a quiet colour

Ladies!!

The strippers are here

Y'know. I was wondering if they might turn up. Just the kind you might find down the bayou.

They seem like a nice pair of young men.

Apparently they do extras.

I suppose that means that they'll collect glasses, serve appetisers or wash up?

Hush now or Hully-belle will be down here, and who knows what she might do.

she's a man-stealing pauper, That Hullybelle, ah declare, ah have positively no ideah whah good society still accepts her...Ah guess it must be becus of her pa being so powerful an' all...but Ah KNOW wh she did at the debutantes ball in Savannah....

oh do tell

Why I declare, you have no more sense than a passel of baboons. It is too cold to be a-courting. Look now, I shall throw the captains wooden leg upon the fire. We will be warm in no time at all.

Most fetching . I declare, I am a little alarmed at all that nylon fine dupion silk. Might we start a fire if we rub too fiercely ?

Do we have snow and cold in the deep south my dears? I swear I have never seen the bayou frozen over. Hot gumbo and clam chowder anyone? on a stick.

Ah swear ah am entirely trapped in a whole heap of snow and quite unable to extricate mahself. Mah sole entertainment this mornin' has been watching my dog assault and kill a snowman.

Oh I have spent too much time reading other threads and am exhausted and somewhat puzzled that I have a totally different outlook to so many other folk.

I need to sit quietly with the wise women and recover my composure

I'd love a hot gumbo mini

Which ones, Miss Jins?

I confess I often feel that way mah very own self.

This here liddle ol corner of the Deep South is our very prayerful refuge where we can indeed recuperate from the maddening crowds.

It's been mostly to do with stag nights and unlabelled Christmas presents Miss Hully

Nothing has changed my view that live and let live is the way to go unless prostitutes are involved

Let me wind some bandages and find my tatting, I will soon be better

Why now I didn't dare venture into unlabelled territory, there are some countries where gentlefolk such as ourselves simply shouldn't venture.

You will find that we oft take refuge in our little corner to tut and shake our heads and perform restorative tatting.

I am relatively new and foolish. I know that tutting and head shaking is the best way
