Soop's Kitcheners

kitty is this as dodgy as it sounds?

We haven't emailed him yet for final details! But I will definitely share with you all! .

Kitty. My father's name was Charles. Could we be related and you know, share the spoils? . Look forward to the next instalment!

Don't broadcast your sharing idea too loudly as we will get the whole world back on GN again making a claim!

Kitty I think it might be my Great great Grandfather Charles. Let us know how much you will have to pay to stake your claim.

The good news came by post so I doubt we will even send an email! But, if you all chip in towards any of the nice man's cost, we will definitely share!

Getting really excited now - my paternal grandfather's name was Charles as well - we could be related and I could be in for a share of the inheritance! I will pay my share of the costs after you have deposited my nice hefty share into my account kitty (promise)

This is a scam!

Report it to the police.

Oh no, Galen. I've just ordered a top of the range car for DH's Christmas present!

Could we have a GN party for all those with relatives called Charles?
Perhaps the Savoy or the Ritz? Or somewhere a bit more classy?

No this Charles had _our- surname!!

our

Do dead relatives count called Charles?

The only Charles I know is my substitute regular taxi driver. (He was alive on Monday)

Yes but it can't count as he isn't a relative - mine is deceased great Uncle Charles.

Goodness!
I'm watching Carmen on sky arts and so far we've had simulated sex, and now, full frontal male nudity!

Galen it is after the watershed of 9pm, you really should be in bed.

Carmen and La Boheme were my fathers favourite operas, can't resist them.
More of a Mozart and Verdi fan myself!

Galen those were my father's favourite operas too. You've reminded me of the time he recorded a performance of Carmen from the TV onto his reel to reel tape machine. We had to remain silent as the microphone was positioned in front of the TV, however in the middle of one of the arias the sound of a door opening and closing could be heard quite clearly.

DH and I attended a performance of Carmen in the arena in Verona this summer, my father would have loved it.

There's a fresh pot of coffee on the hob. I'm off to have my yoghurt.

Nobody in our family on either side is called Charles- am I still entitled to a share of the loot though kitty?

kitty I'm so excited for you and what a wonderful Xmas gift for DH is it a nice big Mercedes or a Jaguar and like you I wouldn't for one moment think this is a scam. I think I could find a Charles somewhere if I looked hard enough until then I'll just send you some begging letters if that's OK.
Now to serious matters my back hurts and no wonder I've put on a stone despite my efforts in the opposite direction so its no cake for me until Xmas and probably thereafter so please could you all restrain me from the lemon drizzle cake and water down my glass of wine. GS has announced his engagement and he doesn't want a big fat Granny at his wedding next year I'm sure. GD is following him the year after and to be honest I dislike weddings. I think GS girlfriend is a bit toxic and leans towards the Big Fat Gypsy Wedding style so that should be fun! Hope you are all well or as my mother used to say with a sigh 'as well as can be expected'.

Flippin 'eck as we say round 'ere!
I've just read through the kitchen gossip from yesterday, and I got all excited for kitty for at least 10 seconds!
Am now frantically looking through my family tree for any relation who might have left me money not a chance in hell

I promise not to mention Lemon Drizzle cake again for quite some time, it will have to be Chocolate cake with fresh cream I'm afraid
Teetime You definitely can't have any!

soop Have a good blether with bags xx

I've got a good idea! Anyone who would like to share our inheritance should transfer £10,000 immediately to my overseas bank account and we will divide any money we get between everyone - after expenses, obviously!

What a brilliant idea kitty. Just mail me all your overseas bank account details. Will £10,000 be enough?
