Nurse nurse!!! Spread is answering himself again

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

[OldGoat]

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

[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

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.

[Chucken]

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

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!!

[Cicero]

Congrats Chucken .....another milestone

[Chucken]
