Alphabetical order ...be inventive.

U R norty lemon!

lemongrove Sat 28-Dec-19 22:57:44

U cannot be serious! Quick....to the stables, I have only just broken in that groom, and do not want him ruined!

Chewbacca Sat 28-Dec-19 23:25:07

With all due respect lemon, he was ruined the day he agreed to come to this Ball. As were we all! I was a laydee before I got in with the rabble here!

one leotard in fuschia pink with my orange tutu
Doodle Sorry to correct you from Australia, but it's spelt "fuchsia" smile As a memory aid I always imagine a Scot saying "fooksia"!
Btw; I thought you said you're going as Ken Dodd? Wrong again! He's SIR Ken Dodd, but if you are going as Lady Dodd ( coming home as Lady Dodderer!?), remember your cheer squad will have to sport 50 shades of beige; his favourite colour for his afternoon matinee Seniors! grin

Rufus! Put the poteen down you are befuddled!
Scribbles is coming as Ken Dodd but at a different event at a different time entirely ( wrong thread m’dear) ?

What happened to V?
Very weird happenings in the stable!

Xotic flowers from the orchid house in my hair

Scribbles Sun 29-Dec-19 12:39:19

Yellow irises and Zinnias, Lemon? They'll look lovely (as well as disposing of two awkward letters).?

Thank heavens I finally found my way out of the maze. Now to find my way to my clapped out Yaris and attempt to drive home without my specs and without getting pulled over by the bizzies. Or did I bring the Zastava tonight ... Oh the joys of being inebriated and forgetful.

Chewbacca Sun 29-Dec-19 15:06:30

ATISHOOOO! I've caught a cold wearing these damned skimpy dresses and boob tubes for a fortnight. Would someone please close the windows!

Doodle Sun 29-Dec-19 20:01:50

Because I am dyslexic Rufus I looked up the spelling of fuchsia before I wrote it and you are quite correct. Somewhere between my reading it and writing it down I changed the spelling. I think a little ? may have been involved in the mistake tchgrin

lemongrove Sun 29-Dec-19 20:48:16

Cover up Chewy you don’t want to frighten the horses!
( the groom and Marydoll have vanished btw)

lemongrove Sun 29-Dec-19 20:49:55

Donuts and coffee are now being served in the gold drawing room.....see u there?☕️?

Scribbles Sun 29-Dec-19 21:27:51

Excellent news! I really need a caffeine and sugar fix before I attempt to drive home.

Incidentally, I think Marydoll is in the maze. I fell over a comatose female who I thought was your grey lady until I realised this person wasn't headless but legless. I tried to rouse her but she just cussed at me in Glaswegian and mumbled something about Santa's tighty whiteys not being so white any more so I left her there.

Doodle Sun 29-Dec-19 21:29:49

Exciting news lemon. Coffee smells delicious. Not too sure about the other thing though ? are you sure it’s a donut. It looks a little suspect to me. Pongs a bit too. ?

lemongrove Sun 29-Dec-19 23:46:34

Figgy donuts.....Soop’s Scottish Specialities, once eaten never forgotten!

lemongrove Sun 29-Dec-19 23:47:50

Glaswegian eh? Yes, that would be Marydoll tiny but feisty.

Marydoll Mon 30-Dec-19 00:09:48

Hell's teeth! You lot are for it!!!!?

Rufus2 Mon 30-Dec-19 06:17:38

wrong thread m’dear)
Lemon Now you should know better than to patronize the "Oldies" and us "not so oldies", or are you a Mrs.Brown look-alike?
I'm the Master Patronizer around here and I've got scars to prove it! grin

you are quite correct
Doodle Don't take it to heart and take that silly dunce's hat off when you speak to me! I'm just back from a tooth extraction, 80 years we had been together, man and tooth! You don't know what you've got until it's gone, apart from a crater-size hole! sad
Tell Lemon I've replaced the poteen with a spittoon, but the anaesthetic is still affecting my aim. confused

Figgy donuts liberally laced with some special weed that I found growing in the loft. MacSporran claims not to know where it came from. hmm a likely story.

Doodle Mon 30-Dec-19 14:58:53

I’ll have some figgy donuts now that I know what’s in them ?
Thanks soop I knew you’d come up with something good.

soop Mon 30-Dec-19 16:58:13

Doodle My late Nana baked what she called "seed cake". It was gritty but certainly put anyone who dared eat it into a frenzy good mood. Not so good if your dentures are ill fitting. wink

lemongrove Mon 30-Dec-19 18:41:52

Jesting again Rufus.....u norty man, you can be our new butler if you’re not too doddery on your pins.?

lemongrove Mon 30-Dec-19 18:44:47

Klara den Warble ( celeb opera singer) is about to give a performance in the ballroom ( and after that, she’ll give us a bit of a song!) Take your seats please now, ladies and gents.

Doodle Mon 30-Dec-19 21:15:39

lemon ? is that her swinging from the chandelier? I didn’t realise it was going to be that kind of performance ?

Scribbles Mon 30-Dec-19 21:18:54

Ladies & Gents? Didn't you know that's on the Banned List? It upsets the gender fluid, apparently. (I've encountered quite a lot of fluid here tonight, alcoholic and otherwise, but no gender fluid). Will Klara Whatsaface be okay if we join in the choruses? Nothing like a good operatic sing along ...and this will be nothing like etc, etc

Doodle Mon 30-Dec-19 23:35:29

My goodness scribbles I will certainly not be joining Klara on the chandelier ( it wouldn’t hold my weight for a start blush) I could manage to warble the odd note or two though. ?
