to think IPOAT gels will never marry well if they continue to be so fast?

[CaptainHornblower]

I do so!

I have MiC, altho I fear it may not be entirely representative of the populace at large. And it's finished. My last link with popular culture severed...

Last night I made the dc switch to BBC4 so I could watch a programme on illustrated medieval manuscripts.

Now, has anyone sent out the Phaeton to beseech Mrs Beeton to come hitherwards?

Is everyone in the herb shed AGAIN?

I'm interviewing the bearded chef that Pag suggested. He's always been my borderline boiler

He's brought a couple of bottles of wine of dubious quality but some nice cheese

Why, Mme Jins! How splendid to see you. When were you released from yon sanitorium? Have they pronounced you quite, quite reformed?

It worked! I had a 'Field of dreams' moment re Hugh Jackman

'If you post it they will come....'

And here you are! Hurrah!

From now on the pic shall be known as 'The Summoning Schlong' It will be our beacon.

The summoning schlong!

We could gets the schlong symbol tattooed on our wrists. Gibbs could send up the schlong equivalent of the dark mark and we would all appear....

Love it!

We can all use the schlong to call each other in an emergency, or you know, when we need IPOAT love.

perhaps we could find a cook here?

A SCHONG ON THE WRIST

May I remind you that first, foremost and forever, we are LADIES

All those dishes seem rather heavy on the carbohydrates. Nary a posset to be seen. Our corsets would need restringing.

I am so sorry.
I have been back for 5 minutes and look at the depths I have dragged us to.

Alas,

Poor Mrs Beeton. Was it the carbs?

Oh Paggy, fret not.

They all enjoy a good forage deep down where creatures are white and transparent and ne'er see the light of day.

I prefer a rousing hymn, meself, and a damn good tat.

Do we know of what birth Bessie Birtle, Mertha and Dave are? Are they acquainted with both the fundamentals of hygiene and the means to make a pink gin?

Indeed I am much reformed Madame Hully. I rarely exhibit my previous behaviour now.

Sadly my innards are no better but I will be trialling some new tincture or other shortly

I AM glad to hear it. I still feel you never took enough possets.

I LOVE being in the depths!

I was a lady but am finding unladylike behaviour quite liberating.....

You will come to a Bad End. Again.

Bessive, be a dear and let whichever of you sideshow darlings is cook today that I would like a large carb cock please.

Bessive, she means a light lentil posset with a side of onion slivers, of course.

I just knew you'd pick up on my typo Hullster

and no, I mean I huge carb cock please, all the trimmings.

How do you trim a carb cock?
