More or Les (was Bloody Plurals)

[cmh]

I too am a strong black coffee girl. I hate tea. Always have. I keep to my Yorkshire roots when it comes to coffee for my cafetiere as I like Taylors of Harrogate Italian Roast.  My brother is a tea obsessive so I pop into Farrers to buy stocking fillers etc for him but I rarely use the cafe. When we first had a flat in Kendal to use for getaways we went in a lot as it was then the only dog friendly cafe in town but there are others that we prefer these days. However Penny do give it a try if you manage a visit as it is full of atmosphere and the grub is yummy!
Our Cocker  Holly is currently confused as she keeps stopping at the cafe doors (and pushing her nose on them if they are open for takeaway) but she fails to understand that lunch / brunch / afternoon cake etc is not possible!!It does tell you how often we visit cafes though!!

Not been on the Forum for a bit, don't know why but I'm here now!!   

Pleased to hear from you Linda   Was a bit worried that you hadn't been around for a little while.  In the current climate all things run through your mind.
My lunchtime roll was a little disappointing.  It looked much nicer than it tasted
I'll ask Zoe about Farrer's when I see her at the weekend.
I really hope we can manage to get up there next year - fingers crossed.
Work is still busy despite the lockdown.  Still managing to avoid air borne nasties thank heavens!!  Shame I can't avoid some of the patients

[Hobbit]

Christine your brother sounds like a man after my own heart!
I'm open to trying any number of cafes as I'm a bit of a greedy pig
Poor Holly I'll bet she's disappointed that she can't get into any of the cafes at the moment!

Hi

     

   


Blue told me that before his first cup of coffee in a morning he feels grumpier than Pen watching someone eat a Cumberland Sausage and she can’t have one.  So I asked him how it was after the coffee.  He said, “Then I feel good about feeling grumpy”.  His big cheesy mischievous grin let me know he was pulling my leg.


Blue walks into a coffee shop and asks the waitress: "How much is the coffee?"
"Coffee is four dollars” the waitress says.
"That’s a bit steep.  How much is a refill?" Blue asks.
"Free, "says the waitress. "
"Then I'll take a refill!" Blue responds.

I’ll just pop in and see if Linda or Christine is inside.

[Hobbit]

G'day Jack

Farrer's looks lovely.  Wish we were all there enjoying a cuppa (tea or coffee!) & a Cumberland sausage & egg roll.  Followed of course by a large sticky bun

         

At my book club I wondered why they were throwing Stephen King novels about...
Then IT hit me!

I bought a satnav for the more mature person...
Not only does it tell me how to get there, it tells me why I wanted to go in the first place!

Do they allow loud laughing in Hawaii?
or just a low ha!

Little Johnny wanted to go to the zoo and pestered his parents for days. Finally his mother talked his reluctant father into taking him.
"So how was it?" his mother asked when they returned home.
"Great," Little Johnny replied.
"Did you and your father have a good time?" asked his mother.
"Yeah, Daddy especially liked it," exclaimed Little Johnny excitedly, especially when one of the animals came home at 30 to 1!"
The last one's for Les

Hi Pen,

You are on the ball early this morning. A quickie reply.



Blue is addicted to football tipping competitions.  At the end of  one weekend he came home with a face as long as a fiddle to complain to Sheila:

Blue: Bugger me, I had a terrible weekend. I lost 15 out of 15 in Rugby League, I lost 8 out of 8 in Rugby Union and I lost 16 out of 16 in Australian Football.

Sheila: Well, what about the Soccer?

Blue: I didn’t go in that one, I don’t know anything about Soccer.


Blue opened an online betting account and went to make his first bet.

Operator: May I know your username Sir?

Blue: My username is “Daffy Pluto Mickey Minnie Donald Road-Runner Speedy-Gonzales London.

Operator: Wow, why do you have a username like that?

Blue: Why? You blokes told me it had to be 6 characters long and include a capital!

[Hobbit]

You know what they say Jack...
              

A funny quickie reply

The thought of all these worms is giving me


Back to the grindstone - roll on going home time!

I put Viagra in my tea, it stops the biscuit going soft.

[Ozzyjack]

I was going to reply, Gareth, that if you overindulged in those biscuits, your wife would have to add bromides to keep you in control but then I read that the furphy that the British Army used bromides to reduce the libido of English soldiers in WWI was an urban myth.  According to Spike Milligan "I don't think that bromide had any lasting effect, the only way to stop a British soldier feeling randy is to load bromide into a 300lb shell and fire it at him from the waist down."

Hilarious Gareth & Jack   Made me laugh out loud!  As did the poor mouse

[Hobbit]

G'day Jack

Another busy day!!  I'm not quite so early today

           

Freddie Mercury had just finished his meal in a Greek restaurant when the waiter came over with a couple of plates for him to smash.
"Can you get me another one please?" asked Freddie.
"Why?" asked the waiter.
"I want to break three!"

A solicitor sent an overdue bill to a client with a note attached that stated "This account is one year old"
By return post the solicitor had his bill back.  Enclosed was a card which read "Happy Birthday!"

[Ozzyjack]

Hi Pen,

I had to look up Freddie Mercury to get your greek joke.



Looks like he suffers from gynecomastia.  Reassure me you don't have to go to the internet to look up that.

I must go.  I have two important jobs to do.  I have to send a post to Les (No doubt you will too) and take Bonnie outside for a brief interlude.

[Ozzyjack]

Personally, these days i prefer not to make a big deal about my birthdays adopting the philosophy from a Willie Nelsen song called " Don't let the old man in " There is a line from the song that can apply to everyone & it goes like this ; " just ask yourself how old would you be if you didn't know the day you were born"

Hi Les,

Sorry to ignore your protestations, but I couldn’t let 19 November pass without some acknowledgment.

Have a great day, Mate.

[Ozzyjack]

Smee again, Pen

Was Freddie Mercury a Queen?

   

   

if you’ve ever wondered, as I have, why there are no dead penguins out on the ice in Antarctica — where do they go?
 
I asked Blue and this is what he told me.

It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintain a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.

If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into, and buried.
 
The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:

“Freeze a jolly good fellow.”

“Freeze a jolly good fellow.”

Then they kick him in the ice hole.
