Glad to see the back of you

See you at Waverley baubles! Can't remember just how many of there are, now! Elegran, did you get booked on to the train? baubles, I think you are in the same carriage as Gally and I.
soop - we will raise a glass to you! xx

Oh I wish I was going now. Have a wonderful time all of you.

Crackerjacked at the end of a stressful week and very much looking forward to some light relief in the shape of my GNet pals except for my dear Soop Perhaps next time though.

Is the Scottish contingent meeting up at Waverly?

Bag packed, (7:28!!!) train ticket in purse.. really looking forward to meeting people. Early night indeed as last night was a bit sleepless as I was sleeping over with DGS as DD & SiL were having a night away for SiLs B'day!

Have a great time, also wish I could be there.ga and I know that those Scottish grannies love to party

absent I'm so glad that you have the opportunity for a good send-off with your Gransnet community. I'm only sorry I can't join you, but will raise a virtual to see you on your way.

Wow, I can't believe this actually happens! You really do get to know each other and then meet up face to face...Brilliant!! HAVE A GREAT TIME!

Yes, absent, Chateau Rhubarb does a good meal and I wouldn't have to drive home!

Greatnan Wish you were here. But we can be serious town red painters once we're in Wakefield.

I am so envious - I would love to be with you. Have a great time (as if you need any prompting!)

Hells, bells and buckets of blood! I have to polish my shoes? Where is Mr absent when you need him?

Shoes polished ,tickets in the bag, clean hanky in the pocket, mobile charged, camera at the ready, Moet on ice plastic cups packed - you think I'm joking??

Will be looking forward to the photos!

A full report and plenty of photographs, please. And have a riotous wonderful time all of you.

absent Have a terrific time with all the GN-ers who'll be joining you tomorrow!

glass I'm charging you with relaying ALL the news and photos!

Have a great time everyone.

Right, settle down at the back. Early night tonight everyone as I want you on tiptop form tomorrow.

Hugely looking forward to seeing you all, probably for the last time unless you get on with topping up your savings jars – yes glassortwo I'm looking at you – so that you can come and stay in New Zealand for the holiday of a lifetime.

If the Broon stuff develops hairs on your chest, could they then be located elsewhere to another part of the anatomy, if so I might try it? (after the Moet of course)

Joseph Pease will be presiding, as he always does, from his vantage point at the junction of High Row and Bondgate. However, he will not be checking the time by the market clock as he takes out his pocket watch only once a year – at midnight on New Year's Eve.

Oh I dont mind it once in a while, but then I like Guiness (sp) etc. I am on the happy pills today, schools back and I am having the first bit of peace for two weeks, so I am having a nice cup of Ringtons then going to start.

Oh I see, I thought you had been on the posh pills this weekend or something.

Mind you have never tasted The Broon stuff (it smells and looks disgusting enough). I would definitely go with the Champers.

That was in English so the rest would understand

Brown in the Town Glass???

Surely you mean Broon in the Toon.

Dont make Brown in the Town now .... marelli go with gally and have champagne.

Nowt wrong wif a glass o' broon . Puts hairs on yer chest.
