Mundane News (Part 1)

[Lullabelle]

Yesterday we had the family round for dinner, it was a very busy noisy day especially as my nephew is only 2 and a half, great kid, as good as gold but we are just not used to having kids in this house, toys etc... We are now enjoying peace and quiet.

Is that a bit like watching paint dry

I donated an hour of my life I'll never get back before admitting defeat.

Now I agree that the world would be a dull place if we all liked the same thing, but to describe Grease as a classic, FFS!

 

[TVC]

@vernon - could Fenton get me another bottle? This seems to be empty.

Really? I didn't have you down as a drinker of industrially produced supermarket plonk, I thought you were refined. Personally I'm having a very nice Lebanese Syrah from the Bekaa Valley.

[Maverick Goose]

Twixmas is here!

They can play it at my funeral.

 

[Accy cyclist]

I'm watching Grease.

In all my 46 years I've managed to avoid it, but it looks like tonight's the night that I can't put it off any longer.

You've only avoided it for 36 years. For the first ten years of your life it hadn't been made.

Just having a nice glass of Harvey's Bristol with two cherries.

It feels longer though.

 

[Accy cyclist]

It feels longer though.

Not as long as me! I've avoided the Sound of Music for 49 years! Though i catch a glimpse of it every now and then as there's a house on my round that watches it back to back!

I'll send my orchestra and choir round and you can have a live performance gratis. Fenton, my butler has hurt his remaining arm and will not be able to conduct them. @User14044 has kindly offered to step into the breach and will, he assures me, deliver a virtuoso performance.

 

[vernon]

Tell Fenton to sort himself out. Wittgenstein's brother had his right arm shot off in the trenches and still played the piano to concert standard.

If he'd hurt his remaining arm like Fenton, his repertoire would have been confined to a virtuoso performance of John Cage's 4' 33"

 

[vernon]

Our squirrel proof bird feeder is still squirrel proof.

That's just not logical.

 

[vernon]

That's just not logical.

Welcome to our world.
