The menfolk only need to go out onto the terrace and pee over the lavender hedge
Careful Menfolk! We have to be very careful who we hang out with and where, these days. hmm
Forget the bl**dy lavender hedge and remember there could be a Romeo down there in the garden gazing up to the balcony to get an eyeful of his Juliet, but not that sort! He would be mentally scarred for life!
Insist on the organizing committee install several Portaloos, or you'll be knocking back your invitations and where would a Grand Ball be without balls; if you see what I mean.!
Apologies for the sermon, but we Grandads are a dying breed and need protection. grin
OoRoo and Merry Christmas.
Cheers wine wine wine

Don’t apologise for the sermon Rufus - your real crime there is to break the alphabet chain. Write out 100 times ‘I must stick to the rules of the Grand Christmas Ball’

Leaping Lords who dazzle with their dancing prowess

Lins1066 Sat 30-Nov-19 09:05:42

Martinis and Muffins, maybe a Manhattan ( thinking of Marydoll flying off this morning) ?

DanniRae Sat 30-Nov-19 09:12:01

New, fancy underwear....well when I say 'fancy' I hope I can get thermals with, maybe, a bit of marabou trim here and there grin

Bellanonna Sat 30-Nov-19 10:04:17

OMG. Seems you need a bit of culture. I’ll come and sing for you. I’ve been taking lessons from Edith on Allo Allo. I’m nearly there. À votre santé!

JessK Sat 30-Nov-19 10:10:46

Plugs for our ears Bellanonna

Rufus2 Sat 30-Nov-19 11:47:34

‘I must stick to the rules of the Grand Christmas Ball’

But Miss! Aren't rules meant to be broken? confused
Next, you'll have me writing out the 11 Commandments 100 times! sad

Doodle Sat 30-Nov-19 12:22:01

Quell those thoughts Rufus
Rebellion is not allowed
Stick to the rules of the Christmas ball (as in party you understand ?)
Tell your tale in alphabetical order as imposed by Lady lemongrove, her wots in charge of this great extravaganza.
Under no circumstances forget to bring a bottle or two.
Very nice to have you with us. Long way for you to come to our ball.
Welcome one and all ? cheers

SirChenjin Sat 30-Nov-19 15:33:31

Absolutely Doodle grin (mine’s a large pink gin please Rufus - chin chin!)

Callistemon Sat 30-Nov-19 15:59:26
