Mar voluteered to knit an Armada years ago but seems to have been too preoccupied with matters we shall not mention over the years to produce a single boat.Quire sad we were so looking forward to setting sail as a huge number of boats. We'd collected a big chocolate stash for emergencies and she offered to " Look after it" and ate the lot. That confirmed my thoughts she was one to watch and I wasn't wrongWe need to keep an eye on Mehefin for all we know he may be yet another of Mars' alter egos. She had cupboards full of them and they aren't as nice as Monnas hot waiter in her wardrobe.I do worry about him it's a very long time since she invited him to stay overnight. I'd suggest we mount a rescue mission but we'd need a boat to reach the Island and if Mar promised to do it she'd probably decide we need at least 50 then fail to produce a single one.pollyx

I did not intentionally eat any elephant nor did I knowingly entice the aforementioned elephant into my freezer. I did not know it was against the rules to eat elephants. I was not even in the same house as the freezer at the time. I was simply relaxing after a long day at my work of landscape gardening and patio maintenance.

I think I will restart my patio-laying business very shortly. There would seem to be a need for it.

Oh Mehefin why ?? I did try to warn you not to mention the H'alump (I'm afraid to even mention the word) but my Welsh must be worse than I thought. Now don't start asking any questions about Ming's patio business either. BTW did we ever find the policeman and his dog ?

I was simply relaxing after a long day at my work of landscape gardening and patio maintenance.Forget the patio and landscaping business; You have denied knowing about or having a patio over the years even in recent times.You can choose nice, nomal and rehabilitated or I swear when I've built up some energy I'll be heading for Edinburgh and the Oxford Bar in search of one former chirf inspector John Rebus. Retired now but once a cop always a cop. We'll need someone - not you - to lift the Patio that doesn;t exist and he'll be able to bring in Forensics.People used to tslk about the joys of retirement. No one mentioned trying to deal with a fellow retiree with a strange lifestyle and a penchant for mendacity.Keep mowing Mehefin and you'll soon get used to life on the fence. Some of us are normal here though as well as the Vase I am beginning to wonder about Monna and the Hot Waiter. No one ever mentioned you got a Hot Waiter just talk of pensions and companies delivering meals suited to your needs and many brochures for luxury retirement apatrments to buy. I never look at anything containing the word luxury rmembering the " Luxury Caravan Site"The last few years the postman has shoved all the retirees stuff through the letter box but no one ever offered a Hot Waiter. I've just kept filling the big recycling bin with stuff I never wanted.I wonder if Hot Waiters are exclusive to the Channel Islands. Perhaps Mar would like one . She'd have to move again but we could wave her off smiling then collapse in a heap in hysterics.pollyx

nanNo we didn't another one for John Rebus to investigate.Do you remember all the times she denied any knowledge of Peter Ginn and denied having a shed? Now she suddenly confesses.Really odd must be a new form of therapy or better medication.pollyx

Is eating elephants all part of the secret entry requirements for membership to this thread?8 -
Zola it's a mass hallucination started by that Pollyanna! Ignore it, and come up here to my shelf, I'll move over.
