Yes Ray, done all the water holes in both places.

hiya,
Booked a table for two yesterday just the good lady and me but it didn’t
put a smile on her face, and she’s rubbish at snooker too, bit like when I
sent her a Valentines card one year she didn’t take kindly to my verse,
it went.
The time you spend upon your face,
it really makes me wonder,
come on lass give it up,
you can’t mend natures blunder.

Didn’t go down well I’ll tell you, Women eh’, you can’t please them.
thanks harry, long retired.

Larry women are like two stroke engines,hard to start and very temperamental ! :laughing:
Cheers Dave.

Ah, my good lady said if you must drink Glenmorangie I will get you a one but the doubles are out of the question, right, So I had to agree, so normal service has been resumed, Lucky me what would I do without her ? Regards Larry.

hiya,
Thanks for that Dennis, but as you two know I’m a chap of few words and
what few I do spout are usually rubbish so when I’m slumped in my chair
Single malt to hand just thank your lucky stars that I’m not putting finger
to puter and boring the arse off everybody with my drivel, and “Nosser”
a shot or two of a half decent single malt is a good cure for the common
cold, sorry Norm you are anything but common or so you keep telling us
so from now on I’ll try and be more respectful, get well soon.
thanks harry, long retired.

Harry I thought of you when my grandaughter said she likes snails, they carry a caravan on their backs, :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: I said just like my mate Harry, he likes the wet, he is alway’s wetting his whistle! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Pa what doe’s that mean, well darling it means he always has a glass of malt whisky in his hand to drink,she laughed I know what you mean, my dad alway’s has beer in his hand, but when he gets home, he falls over. :unamused: :unamused: :unamused: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: But my mate is more experienced, he sits down to drink! :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:
