Darkest corner of the pub
Gwennie Posted Mar 29, 2001
I'm off for a few days to look after my mum-in-law who is recovering from a hip replacement operation and am leaving my reluctant hubby in charge of the kids, house and animals.
*Shudders as she thinks of the chaos she'll be returning to and hopes her hubby doesn't break her (oops I mean "our") computer* 
I'll see you all in a few days time hopefully.

You might as well clean your sunglasses, Engländer. It has become so dark in here I can't even see my torch no more.
I can feel - and certainly smell the sheep (let alone the goats) tough. Has someone sprayed them with something (haven't had time to read all of the backlog)?

If it´s dark, and if there are goats, then you´re in the wrong thread...

And what exactly do you mean by that, Mr. E.? 
This thread is certainly not wrong!

[And when a Moderater want´s to take this out, he is totally obliged to do so,
cause this is a parody of a parody by lenny henry (and I think E is just doing this to distract everybody...]
I´ve seen a light, and whoever left it on, turn it off! Cause the electricity bill is horendous...
Do you remember the one with "I had a call?"

In fact it is so dark I can't even read what you said in that last postings, Engländer...
Think I'll try to find the bar and have an eyeopener or two. What say you, Ottox? Do you think there's any Gammel Dansk around?

Researcher 168814 Posted Apr 2, 2001
What´s Gammel dansk anyway ( I mean in a scientific sence, it´s some kind of something with alcohol, I know) Is it more a Schnaps, or a liquer? What flavor? Aquavit, kind of?

When I went to England in march I bought a box of chocolates for my landlord and a bottle of Gammel Dansk for my landlady (!) I told her it was absolutely lethal, if she did not know how to handle it properly. "Oh, I know", she smiled sweetly "I only drink it mixed with hot coffee and sugar".

*E props up over D*
Now wait a minute. Did you copyright "YAY!!!", too? I think you should complain with LINDA, if so. But otherwise, I think we will have to call in
Jurisdi-hi-hi-ction!
