    This is tonight's moon - taken at 12.10am - very bright but smallish. Just back after driving 50 miles and you could almost do it with the lights off.

    Hope you didn't try that Spread. You know how we worry when you try your silly tricks at your age. You put your back out swinging from the chandelier last time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,876 ✭✭✭Spread


    Will disregard the above comment and thanks :o. My vertigo has put paid to those kinds of highjinks. Anyway, Cisse shook the net as QPR score in the 89th minute to stay out of the relegation zone. So thanks everyone for the Special Novenas. If ye can do a repeat performance next Saturday against City ......... or at least get the teams below to lose (as well) I'll be eternally grateful. And one doesn't make a promise like this lightly :D

    Right, am off to town to celebrate with breakfast and Mimosas. Wehey!

    The Lord is good .......... Hallelujah!

    Good Moaning indeed Spread...:P

    What with Perigree Moon, Cinco de Mayo celebrations and QPR doing the biz with a minute to go .......... tomorrow Monday will be a bit of an anti climax. Still, it's great to have a huge hangover at times ......... plenty of strong Lyons tea and semi-brisk walks with the hounds. Ahhhhh, the joys of ageing!

    Goodnight and Good Moaning :)

    Nurse nurse!!! Spread is answering himself again :D

    Hello everyone,hope the weekend was good for you all.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,631 ✭✭✭✭OldGoat


    Long weekend, day and a half of work and then a couple of weeks off.
    /Gloat

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,876 ✭✭✭Spread


    We seem, to have a name change above .......... Old Gloat!

    How many of ye donned Red Hats yesterday? ........ Jenny Joseph's birthday

    Warning

    When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
    With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
    And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
    And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
    I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
    And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
    And run my stick along the public railings
    And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
    I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
    And pick flowers in other people's gardens
    And learn to spit.

    You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
    And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
    Or only bread and pickle for a week
    And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

    But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
    And pay our rent and not swear in the street
    And set a good example for the children.
    We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

    But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
    So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
    When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.



    Jenny Joseph

    I don't know if the Purple Hat movement has reached these shores yet and none of my hats are purple anyway.

    Here's a plan ........... a bottle of Port & Brandy a day for the next 12 months (secretly, of course) and your nose should be a nice purple/lilac/aubergine tone. The Fez atop will do the rest. Welcome to the Dublin Brigade of Red Fez Society :D

    Due to technical thingies large threads like this get stopped/closed/locked and a new thread is started in it's place. Something to do with keeping the moderators supplied in Coke & Hookers. Anyway it's close to that point with this thread. So, at some point in the next week or so I'll be locking this thread and opening a new thread. That gives us the opportunity to come up with a new name or to go with Ciceros existing name MkII

    Two of my blue tablets for the best suggestion.*

    I like: A Bit of the oul blather - Off Topic backbiting, begrudgery and cardigan swopping.


    *Obviously a lie, I need ALL the blue ones.

    New name!!
    One Foot In The Grave. :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,459 ✭✭✭Chucken


    Aw thanks JB..Im very excited. Keeping the news to myself for the last 4 weeks was torture :D

    The world of craft have taken the Red Hat Society on board all right I think, otherwise it's not to be heard of much in this neck of the woods. Have you seen them in Google images? Too much red and purpole for me, it made me feel dizzy!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,144 ✭✭✭✭Cicero


    Congrats Chucken .....another milestone:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,459 ✭✭✭Chucken
