These threads, which lie empty as the night, remain unposted upon. Verily, you know what to do.*

She better or I'll be heartbroken :(

Bettercallsaul1 · 21/08/2016 09:52

Those are beautiful words to start off our next thread, Portia! And about some tasteful pics of Thomas the Tank Engine and malformed vegetables to give innocent newcomers a more complete picture of what our threads are about. Grin

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 21/08/2016 09:53

I slept for 10hrs!

Portia it is awful how much RNLI and mountain rescue have to risk their own lives to save people who've done daft things.

Does anybody else find it shocking that air ambulance, RNLI and mountain rescue aren't funded by government?

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 21/08/2016 09:54

Portia that verse is lovely for the opening of the next thread.

AverageGayLad · 21/08/2016 09:56

They SHOULD be government funded Angry

Bettercallsaul1 · 21/08/2016 09:57

Good luck with the cake competition today, Vanilla! We'll be waiting to hear how you get on at the Horticultural Show. (sounds like the beginning of a Midsomer Murder. Who will die after sampling a slice of chocolate cake heavily laced with alcohol and crack cocaine?)

Bettercallsaul1 · 21/08/2016 10:09

My money is on the promiscuous chambermaid, Jess who has had affairs with all the well-heeled and attractive men in the village.

jetSTAR · 21/08/2016 10:11

I also like the song words for the start of the thread. 👍🎶

AverageGayLad · 21/08/2016 10:26

Ahhh but you say that better but she'll be the second victim

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 21/08/2016 10:35

Do not get me started on what the government do and don't fund. Angry

Bettercallsaul1 · 21/08/2016 10:37

Oh, there'll be plenty of corpses strewn around by the end. Hardly a soul left alive in the village, in fact.

Bettercallsaul1 · 21/08/2016 10:41

The first victim may be an innocent young traveller who gets lost on his lengthy and circuitous route home from holiday, and happens on a picturesque village with a Horticultural Show in progress.

AverageGayLad · 21/08/2016 10:52

Right, I'll be back when I get home!

AverageGayLad · 21/08/2016 11:14

We're not leaving yet Blush

I've had a small glass of apple juice to settle my stomach, I'm still super thirsty BUT I don't want anything I drink to come back up..

Bettercallsaul1 · 21/08/2016 11:16

Apple juice is too acidic if your stomach is upset. Have a cup of tea instead.

AverageGayLad · 21/08/2016 11:30

Oh great :( and I don't LIKE tea!

AverageGayLad · 21/08/2016 11:31

And I reread your post and I don't want to be murdered :(

AverageGayLad · 21/08/2016 11:48

Right we actually are setting off now Grin

Talk soon! (Probably on the next thread)

jetSTAR · 21/08/2016 11:50

Would travel sickness pills help at all AGL?

Bettercallsaul1 · 21/08/2016 11:53

Bystanders may report that, just as you were about to raise a slice of poisoned chocolate cake to your lips, a green object leapt up and dashed it from your lips, croaking "Don't eat it, son!" and then hopped off and disappeared.

jetSTAR · 21/08/2016 11:54

Hohoho

Good luck on not being sick AGL!

AverageGayLad · 21/08/2016 12:32

We have to wait an hour now Jesus

Taken travel sickness pills already

Better Grin

Thank you for your support. The cake competition is actually next Saturday, but I made the cake in advance so that the whisky could infuse into the rest of the cake.

I am also going to attempt some flower arranging and DD is going to make some cupcakes. Will post the photos of our disasters triumphs.

I have now arisen from my bed but am not yet dressed as he's taken over the shower yet again
Check Mn to be regaled by tales of monkeys wanking at the zoo ( check active) poor young AGL and his travel sickness tales, and absent friends.
Thanks for approval of my suggested opening post.
We are dining at Grans for our Sunday pissup luncheon so should be fun. Wonder if Jim will take his hat off? Not sure I want to see whats underneath that thing..!!!!!
I'm informed by another Cornish Mner that more twattery is happening at the infamous Newquay. Apparently someone went into the sea to rescue their dog who should've been on a lead. Cue the lifeboat yet again, I don't think that crew have had any time to themselves this weekend. No pay for it though!

I will try to update later and will eat my veg or Gran will give me a tongue lashing.
Hope you are all ok.
