Berrie, Binkle, Oggs, Lyra and Zeb meet-up thread

[LyraSilvertinsel]

Here.

Oh it was going so well until you mentioned the Sunday Roast. Don't you know we plebs have spaghetti hoops on a Sunday with toast if it's a bank holiday!

Hope I didn't offend you Oggs by lumping you in with me! I didn't even wear nail polish on Christmas day (though I did wear tights and my goth skirt to the hilarity of my family)I thought of you as I told you I only did those things on Christmas day.

Hoops? Get you. And you call me sophisticated! We have baked beans in our house.

Sorry, I mean grotty bedsit with a single ring belling.

A single ring belling?...that's living. We eat 'em cold.

Well I would heat the beans up, but since the leccy was disconnected, we eat 'em out the tin by the light of a single candle, which we use to make the toast.

Our candle keeps blowing out 'cause of the hole where the window should be.

Pah! A real candle We have a tealight that we save for special occasions.....
.... and real baked beans!You don't know you're born. I collect small pebbles and cover them with a teaspoon of ketchup...

Ah but it's a used birthday cake candle...

Tsk. You mean you actually have a cake on your birthday! A cake once a year! We have to make do with a birthday crumpet.

Raw.

No no...twas dh's Christmas present to me...it rolled out of next door's wheelie bin.

I'm just waiting for someone to wheel out Bob Cratchitt, Oliver Twist, Little Nell and the Little Match Girl!

But don't worry about Poor Zeb. We may be starving (not to mention farting from all those beans), we may only have a tiny candle, DS may have a permanent sniffle cos he's never warm, but I have enough for me fags and me weekly trips down the bingo.

Having left DS home alone, natch.

That's a point...will Zeb and Lyra spend the evening huddled in the cold on the doorstep of the bar having fags and gossiping about my shoes?

Oh you paupers!
We have Swiss Roll twice a year dotcha know.

Mmm swiss roll!

I've just eaten half a packet of Co-op profiteroles. Bleurgh. Sugar-laden, gut-busting, vomit inducing foulness.

Morning all.
I was similarly full of sugar Lyra but it was turkish delight.
What are we all up to today? I am considering braving town unless it snows in which case we'll go out and have fun instead!
Berrie scuttles off to check the weather forcast...

I'm back...not looking too promising on the snow front

Spent last night veged on sofa watching the totally incomprehensible Pirates of the Carribbean III and stuffing myself on Quality Street. . Said tin is now in the safe haven of the office reception to save me from myself.

No snow here. Just cold and wet.

It's very very grey here but not wet. They reckon snow about lunchtime. Think I might brave town to take back the size 22 knickers.

Tiny flurry here but not sticking.

Happy Birthday to Lyra's ds today, hope he has a fab day!!

Now, last night I had an erotic dream about Jeremy Vine eating a melting bounty bar whilst I was holding it....what does this mean?

Actually, is it tomorrow for Lyra's ds? Oh well, I still hope he has a fab day today too

Thanks Binkle but it's DP not DS.
