That explains a lot - such as why Chef has been singing La Donna E Mobile all day. And why there is a spaghetti mountain in the Cauldron of Doom.
Igor - clear out that pasta and return the NSDs to their rightful place! Tell Chef to get his own pasta pot! Oh gawd, he's now singing Volare. I do hope jodies has got those pesky varminty voles packed away tightly, if they hear him singing they might think he's calling them in for supper!
I believe that romance blossomed one year when the Doyle family were on their annual visit to Dublin and stopped off to enjoy a pasta supper in the city centre.The rest,as they say,is history....0 -
Good morning NSD gang, it is November 5th, and I hear lots of banging and cursing from the kitchen - the team are preparing jacket potatoes, hotdogs (no, Igor, leave the Narglehounds alone), toffee apples, treacle toffee, cinder toffee, vats of alcohol-laced hot chocolate, marshmallows on skewers.......outside, Helga is keeping herself occupied finishing off the bonfire. Don't tell her that jodies is going to abandon the voles in Las Vegas, Helga thinks her precious furry darlings are just going for a little holiday!
marmite, I have tried to convince Hubert that Guy Fawkes did not wear fishnet stockings and suspenders, but he still doesn't get it - maybe it would be better coming from you? Seeing as it's your underwear he's nicked?One life - your life - live it!0 -

Honestly Nargle,I don't know what you're playing at...those are your big knickers...in fact Hubert informs that they're a bit tight. :eek:
Things in the kitchen seem to be going to plan...Cheffie is still functioning despite being under sedation (you know what he's like when there's fireworks around)....Igor is busy making his famed curried pilchard on a stick nibbles,Mrs Doyle is shelling hundreds of hard boiled eggs to make her equally renowned Bonfire Night egg sarmies for the masses and great nephew Fabio is pouting in the corner because someone ate his breakfast muffin.
When is it that you fly off to Vegas jodles,hint,hint?0 -
NSD 3 for me today0

Not a chance in Chateau Nargle, I have been and stuffed the fridge, freezer and cupboards with edible stuff ready for when I go into hospital next week. I will leave OH a couple of quid in case he needs to get more milk, but other than that there will be no excuse for buying food whatsoever. When I get home I expect to see a couple of NSDs waiting to be donated to the Cauldron of Doom.
That's the theory, anyway. Wonder if I should hide his debit card?One life - your life - live it!0 -
Well I am racking up the NSDs again :j:j:j. I am currently on 5 and 5 in a row! :j:j:j
Right off to check that Cheffie hasn't got toadstools not mushrooms again, and make sure Mrs Doyle is prepared to serve Parkin alongside her egg sarnies.Must use my stash up!0 -
Spends day here and tomorrow I'll be the same as well, at least they were LSDs!094 Sealed pot member! :beer: (7) €185 (8) €138 (9) €€250

Ah Knit Witch,I knew i could count on you to get the first prize of the month woohoo!! :j:j
That's right,you're our first prize winner with the 'in a row' challenge!
PS Cheffie got toads...is that not what you ordered? :rotfl:
In his defence he is under sedation so as not to go mental when the fireworks go off...
Can't wait to taste the parkin though...
Enjoy your prize.

You're very organised...I hope the plan goes well.The few times you have mentioned your OH leads me to think that hiding his debit card might be a good idea after all,though there's no need to tell him I said that....
You're still signed off sick though?Is the sciatica any better?0
