Last One to Post Wins

[Not so ancient mariner]

My daughter has just returned from a few days in Malta where she met 'Lloyd George'


Well not exactly, but this chap was quite elderly - and he knew my father!

They had both served out there (and Singapore) in the 1960s

Small world!!

I'm not well

Watched some of Britains Got Talent last night on ITV3, and for some strange reason I enjoyed it.....or was it Alesha Dixon that caught my interest

Nurse, the screens, quickly!

Did your holiday planning come to fruition Shiney?

[qbman1]

Fry up currently being fried by the frier bruvver.

Bruvvers? Blimey, he thinks he's Joe Brown now !!

What we want to do is certainly feasible, so we're going to start fleshing out the plans. At the moment, it looks like we'll be leaving early morning to drive to Dover, catch a ferry to Dunkirk, overnight (possibly two nights) in Bruges, continue up to Hamburg for 4 nights, stop for two nights in Utrecht on the way back, then raid the Dunkirk hypermarket before returning home.

[Stephen]

No sign of him yet. Still nursing a hangover probably......or hanging over a nurse

[qbman1]

Hope it's not any of my nurses !

[Stephen]

He wouldn't dare....would he

[qbman1]

Certainly not - some things are sacred

That's a lot of effort to go shopping. Don't they have supermarkets in BS?

[qbman1]

They do....but have you seen them ?!

Better selection and cheaper prices, sir. Last time we went, we didn't buy a huge quantity of coffee but we save about £80 on UK prices. Booze, obviously, is much cheaper and, if you're into liqueurs, there's a much wider selection. I saved £10 on a pack of ink cartridges

They don't call this country "rip-off Britain" for nothing!!

Now, now, you know it mostly goes on tax so we can maintain our absurd levels of benefits and keep the economies of Eastern Europe booming

[Silver_Shiney]

Of course, silly me for forgetting....

[qbman1]

Mind you, I employ a Latvian so I'm doing my bit !!

[Stephen]

Mmm. Employ her to what though

But it must be cheaper to get to the supermarket down the road..

[Silver_Shiney]

If that's all you want, probably, but we're having a bit of a holiday at the same time. So the savings on coffee, wine etc will help to offset the cost of the holiday.

Have just had some exciting news from my older daughter tonight!!

Spill the beans then (not Shiney's cheap foreign coffee though)

And there was me going to invite you round for a cup. Oh well, perhaps I'll still invite you round - someone will have to do the washing up....
