2019

Plenty of Tequila Sunrises have been had! ?? Happy New Year, again.
Buffy; So it seems! Did you have Jalima round for a knees-up?
We Mancunians have been given a good start to '19; just watching City beat Soton on TV; back to winning ways! Surely you barrack for City!? Or not!?
Have a nice day, anyway! Cheers!

May the platoon of male Gransnetters continue to be tolerated by the regiment of women
Of course what John Knox was referring to was ruled Grumppa .

Grumppa; Just a moment! I think that old saying "discretion is the better part of valour" applies here, so I'll take my leave from this skirmish before it's too late; AWOL if necessary! Sorry, but I'm sure you'll manage without me.
Good Luck and "May your God go with You," as Dave Allen used to say! Cheers

Jalima; and you're on Cloud 9 by the look of your post! Did you see the New Year in with Buffy and her Taquila Sunrises

I was referring to this little blip - projected on to the Sydney Harbour Bridge at midnight:

It's Groundhog Day in Australia!

Here it is! Someone's getting a rap over the knuckles today

I deliberately omitted the word "monstrous', sodapop, so as to make the reference merelynumerical. I also had in mind the recent thread where it was suggested by some that men should be banned from Gransnet. Never mind; as the,world becomes increasingly po-faced, levity takes backseat

a back seat!

Yes no female monarchs for John Knox Maw think its a view shared by others too.
We know the quote Grumppa so it may as well be used in its entirety. I am very happy to have men on Gransnet as is everyone else I think. Minority groups are always welcome

Happy new year all and let's try to be tolerant to all posters. (unless they are rude to us!)

Happy, healthy and peaceful New Year to all.

Unless they are rude to us!)
Nonnie; you took the words out of my mouth!
My N.Y. resolution No.1:
"be kind and considerate to everyone."
No.2: " No more jokes, especially any with a Scotch flavour!
I used to be schizophrenic, but we're OK now!

Happy new year and thank you all for the god advice given.

Haha! You make me laugh Rufus!
Yes! I am a Man City supporter, will you get to watch the Liverpool match on Thursday?

Happy New Year to all!

grumppa, if you can stop people using an unnecessary "sake of", could you please also stop them saying "old lang zyne" instead of "auld land syne"?

Thank you very much

Did you have Jalima round for a knees-up?

Buffy only gave me soda water Rufus, I was (and am) completely sober!!

Have you not followed my link to the Sydney Morning Herald? I think it's the organisers of your Harbour Bridge Firework display who needed to add more water to whatever it was they were drinking

grumppa Why does everyone sing "For THE SAKE OF auld lang syne" when Burns wrote "For old lang syne"?

I don't know, I was singing loudly at the tv, trying to drown them out - the whole lot of them got it wrong!!

Oh dear, proof-reading specs not working this year . Nobody, as far as I know, sings "land" instead of "lang". It's the "old" and the "zyne" that are wrong!

Liverpool match on Thursday?
Buffy; Certainly will! Fortunately it's on TV here at a very convenient hour; 7.00am Friday! "Live", free and no ads. apart from half-time. If I've got it right, that means kick-off is at 8.00pm Thurs.?
Strewth! You'd need to rug up.

Strewth! You'd need to rug up.
Ha! As you know Rufus, we're a hardy lot up here.

Ha! As you know Rufus, we're a hardy lot up here.
Buffy; Ha! Ha! Ha!; But we're an even hardier lot "Down Under"
It's now 6.30pm Thurs. 28C 19Cmin. tonight; 42C forecast for tomorrow; in Melb! How does that grab you?
I don't think we'll be serving the Shiraz at room temp.! We'll abandon polite custom and serve it straight from the frig.
It might be lacking in bouquet etc., but it should be drinkable! After all I only buy quality, not plonk! We'll start at kick-off, 7.00am in the the "cool" of the day. Wish us and City luck! cheers

I just had to check the Sydney Morning Herald Jalima. I thought you were having an early April Fool prank as I saw nothing anywhere else.

Happy 2019 Everyone!

Ha! No, but I don't think Rufus believed me, he thinks I was on the Shiraz or had spent the evening in the Argy Bargy.

Nfk; Don't waste your time on the tabloids such as the SMH. The intelligentsia in OZ read "The Australian"; we find it has better, more accurate coverage, especially Sport.
Btw; how's your window-cleaning project going? Not much need at this time of year, I guess.
Keep Well!

Was it a spoof Rufus - or was it a boo-boo?
