"creep"? I do try to stand upright, (if the Bushmills runs out).
"newbie"? I'll have you know that I've been successfully draped over an easy chair since 2002 Just didn't do much - 'cause I'd lost my towel!

Dearest , I have been prostrating (is that the right word, I wonder?) myself before the fair Pan for some time now. However, she seems to have lots of other to fry (an inexhaustible - ! - supply of young firemen, for one thing), and I always seem to get left in the 'this week's special, 40% off' bin! Ah, well..............I suppose that I'd better have another pint of Drambuie shandy

Ah, understood now! My commiserations ... or maybe, you've been "saved"
I'll join you in heavily laden with Baileys ... could someone pour me one into my bowl/
hoping for a brand new bowl for Ch*********s

So, , you want a genuine 'Wassail bowl' perhaps? (with the traditional cider/sherry and spices mix, of course!)

Shirps Posted Dec 7, 2005
leave out the sherry ... scrumpy of course ... go easy on the spice - never give me mulled wine
(This guy's good - I can give him my orders - don't have to )
a mince pie wouldn't go amiss

I never creep! It just so happens that my legs don't always go where I want them to!

you two ought to try having four legs & getting them to go in the correct direction
No fret - just testing, I'm prepared for disappointment
By the by - when the Ch********s tree has finally been erected - I am NOT climbing up to the top to put on the //or anything else you want put up there
to with all four paws

How do we get the or UP there, then?
Does Pan throw it up? Does scale it, like a mast, with the bauble clenched in his teeth?

...*covers Gwennie's eyes with her hand...*Have some feelings for our loverly 'tree hugging' friend, er, friend here!...*whispers to Gwennie...*don't look at the bloodly meat the dog is chewing hon
Kes!If the man gets cold he can full well sit by the fire place. I demand each and every one of you remove your coats from atop the man!
...*everyone rushes to do Pan's bidding...*
THAT'S mooooore like it....*chucks her sweater over Kaes...*
Gee Shirps...about that 'envelope'...you put not to open it until 9/12 which on THIS side of the pond has either already passed or is a loooong way off.
Being Pandora ... ... Would you believe my long finger nails sorta' sliced the envelope?Over & over until the card sorta' fell out?
May we place a fireman atop the tree?You know he'll come in handy at some point.
Come warm me up Derby, I have a bit of a chill.
