  3. Is the kettle on boys. Morning.

  4. Morning MrsT

    Kettle’s on

    I’m just nipping round the corner for some milk and the papers. Be back in a mo

  5. No milk Duncan?!!!!!

    Where’s Ernie when you need him? :lol:

  6. I think he’s been dallying with the young widow at No 22 :wink:

  7. I need chocolate!!

    Please ;)

  8. More chocolate? :shock:

  9. yes please :oops:

  10. ah thanks Duncan – the question now is which bit do I eat first??? :???:

  11. I think that’s Julie’s cue to come in now !!! :lol:

  12. Tee hee …..

  13. Right on time :lol:

  14. Aren’t you working today Duncs?

  15. Nosey …. will you stop sucking Santa now and talk to us :grin:

  16. Day off, Julie

    Although I’ll be doing a bit of work from home so I’m not swamped with a backlog to catch up on when I return

  17. I think Nosey’s got her mouth full

  18. Ah dedication … I like that …. ;-)

  19. Greetings comrades.

    Anyone up for a quick revolution? Overthrow the capitalist bourgeois oppressors?

    No…?

    Well…. sod it then. I’ll have a coffee and a sausage and egg butty instead.

  20. I’ve still not got round to catching up with all Sajjad’s stuff on Islam (Mumbai pages).

    I tried keeping pace with it last night as it was coming in, but got a headache.

  21. G’morning Nobbles

    Duncan’s being dedicated and Nosey’s stuffing her face with chocolate Santa ….

    …. that zarm sounds marvellous ….

  22. I have a headache too … but it’s got nothing to do with Islam ….

  23. Go on then, enlighten this poorly educated semi-scot…

    What the hell is a ‘zarm?

  24. A zarm is :

    Short for a “zarmie”

    which is :

    SA slang for a SANDWICH

  25. Amazing what you learn in the Cafe !

  26. I think Nosey choked on Santa ……

  27. Wouldn’t have thought so – she’s got a big enough gob :wink:

  28. I think she’s writing her application for the Sunderland managers’ job :lol:

  29. “The kilt is an unrivalled garment for fornication and diarrhoea. (John Masters)”

    I guess that confirms one little debate point then …… ?

  30. You only had to ask :wink:

  31. I was too shy :lol:

  32. I was savouring santas b duncans chocolate and revelling in the joys of a tracker mortgage and fuel prices down to 88.4p a litre.

    Perhaps we might be able to afford a turkey for CHristmas :grin:

  33. WTF are :del: and santas b? and :/del: ?

    Nosey … are you drunk :shock:

  34. Hiya Julie / Nobbly etc etc etc ;)

    is it Friday yet?

  35. sorry Julie the old brain really takes a bashing after a night on the tiles… :oops:

  36. On tiles? Isn’t that a bit uncomfortable?

    And YESSSSSSSSSS it’s FRRRRIIIDAAAY …..

  37. You getting excited Julie ? :wink:

  38. Right folks, got to leave you now. Sun is shining here ( a rarity) and I’m off out for a bit

    See ya later!

  39. Hello all, a bottle headstart and the christmas treee is up looking twinkly and smelling like catholic church at easter. needs some tinsel, the beads are not abundant enough but ooh iss crissmass

    acdc on the stereo

  40. Hello CC … just don’t trip and knock over all your hard work ;-)

  41. Doing my bests Julie no guarantees :)

  42. Good morning/evening charles!

    ACDC I can handle

    Putting up christmas decorations, I can’t.

  43. bah humbug…

  44. hah bumbug…

  45. Glor!!! YOOOHHHOOO, hows it hanging dude? ;)

  46. Not too bad under the grim circumstances, thanks nosey! (you know, Christmas just round the corner, nothing done about it yet, no money, no job, no domestic help, no friends …)

  47. How about you? On nights again tonight?

  48. yes :cry: actually i don’t mind, i get to sing the odd lullaby :grin:

  49. Oooh. I don’t know how you do what you do. I’m very emotional at the moment and find tears plopping out at the most surprising moments. Keep up the invaluable work, you lady of the lamp, you.

  50. Oooh, you are special. I don’t know how you do what you do. I’m glad there’s people like you doing it though. Thanks on behalf of all relatives of sick people!

  51. aawww shucks Gloria, my singing makes people cry too :cry:

    ((((((((((((((((((((((((hug))))))))))))))))))))))))))

  52. Spot the post which got whooshed so I posted another and then the original one appeared and now they’re both there – oh dear – I look like a nitwit – I’d better push off – have a good day y’all.

  53. and i thought you were being nice twice! ;)

    take care Gloria :grin:

  54. In hindsight I am very glad I was nice twice – you deserve it (I don’t mind looking like a nitwit – I don’t expect I ever appear to be anything else!)

    If your singing makes people cry, have you considered the kazoo? I’m going to write to Seb Coe and suggest that The UK Amateur Kazoo Orchestra would be perfect for the opening ceremony at the Olympics in 2012 and I’d love us both to be there!

  55. Kazoo sounds great – can’t remember any of their songs though.. wasn’t that Alison Moyet in it?

  56. howdee nobbly! love christmas except the price of lobster and prawns goes throught the roof, I don’t eat either but enjoy smelling the bin for several days after. my dad does the turkey in a webber pressure cooker barbeque and the seafood is served on ice. lots of cold drinks and then we all jump in the pool. the presents and family fight is later. both are usually pretty ugly until certain parties pass out and the rest of us eat their share of icecream brandy pudding (trust me it’s good)
    then we do it all on boxing day and head out to watch the sydney to hobart yacht race.

    i prefer colder climates and would gladly trade this drunken fly fest in for somewhere with real drunken snow, although we do love the plaster that dad dripped over the fake tree years ago to illustrate snow.

    nosey how odd are these lullabies?

    enjoy the australian christmas carol

  57. :lol: Nosey demonstrates the jaw-dropping advantages of an encyclopaedic mind and gets it in one!

  58. I think one went “Ba-ba-ba-bap-dap-dap-dap-da-da-da… Don’t Goooooooo! Don’t Gooooooooo! Ba-ba-ba-etc., etc., That one’s got nice long high notes, ideal for the Yazoo Tribute Kazoo Ochestra!

  59. Charlie – LOL, it reminds me of atime we went to florida just before christmas and in one of the malls they were playing ‘its such lovely weather for a sleigh ride..’ while we were all in our shorts… bizarre. ;)

  60. Gloria – there is a (SMALL) possibility that i am actually better looking tha Ms Moyet :oops:

  61. :grin: We both are nosey, we both are! Really, truly off out now. Bye x

  62. Bye Gloria, and all – going to get some shut eye now ;)

    *****
    Nobbly
    any time you like :razz:

  64. Bueno…looks like you are all busy somewhere else or eating chocolate,therefore I am off
    Have a good weekend all

  65. Hi CC

    Love your Ozzie Xmas Carol

    I’ll put that up later in the front of the Cafe.

    Have you heard ‘Kevin Bloody Wilson – where’s me f*ckin bike?’

    Planning to put that up tomorrow :lol:

  66. Gloria, gorgeous

    I missed you, babe phew :wink:

    Agree with you totally. I think everyone who works in health care deserves a special thanks. Too often we take them for granted, giving them little thought until we have need of them. At this time of year especially when we are spending Xmas and New Year with friends and family we should spare a thought for those doctors and nurses who cannot be with their loved ones because they are ‘on duty’

  67. Well that was a conversation killer… :lol:

  68. You can say that again!

  69. I said, you can say that again!!! :lol:

  70. do I have to? ;)

  71. oh bugger…

    I’ve just remembered that MrsN has decreed that we shall visit the Trafford Centre tonight to do some christmas shopping.

    As mega shopping centres go, I suppose it’s not too bad, but also as mega shopping centres go, I’d rather that someone else went.

  72. Friday night shopping – the JOYS!!! I’d rather be at work thanks ;)

  73. Nobbly

    Do you absolutely have to go with Mrs N on this shopping expedition?

    Couldn’t you invent a plausible excuse that prevents you from accompanying her, e.g., dominoes final at your local pub, or AGM of the local Ferret Fanciers Club ? :lol:

  74. Man flu??? :roll:

  75. Campaigning for freebies for the cafe pub?

  76. a credit card crunch crisis???

  77. … and meanwhile, on BBCarmen 7, the ramblings of a couple of cafe folk …
