to say Happy Birthday to me, Paggy, Absy and MaryZ, all proud pincer-bearers. Yay.

[Hullygully]

Anyone else of our ilk?

Fine. I'll join your dance. It's pretty much the only exciting thing I can do these days

This isn't downtown abbey!!

Can't we do the YMCA instead or something?

Stately as a galleon...

And dip and nod to the person on your left and in a mo we shall docie-do and then have a little lemonade and a wasabi pea.

Quick question Hully - have you ever read "A Confederacy of Dunces"?

funnily (is that word allowed?) enough, dh has just finished it and he said I MIGHT like it. He is too scared to ever say I deffo will in case I impale him on my deadly scorn.

Pork pie?

I feel full of vim and vigour next to you gimmers. I am thirty three. Me and Our Lord.

Possibly. One of the characters reminds me of your MN persona

Um, Abs. I don't have a speshul MN persona. I'm just me.

Be very afraid.

I was trying to be inoffensive.

It is a good book though, quite funny

was your post just a little ill-judged, Abs?

was it?

You'll have someone's eye out. Tears before bedtime.

Me on Thursday!

I was married to a Scorpio, does that count?

And Happy Birthday to you all. Particularly pore ol'Hully who is having a Bad Day fending off The Po.

Let us circle the other way and perhaps click our heels a little

not in a nazi fashion obvs.

Never in a nazi fashion. More Dorothy.

How about a gentle sway'n'clap?

Two things at once?

Shall we manage quite?

That's that dance, that is Maryz. You know, with the rowing. You'll have the back out of your stay-prest slacks in no time, with that carry on.

That's just reminded me of the Middle Aged Thread that caused such Po anger
