The Virtual Lounge

[Anonymous]

well, fluffy onesie on + donkey brown boottee-tyle slippers

cuppa Twinnings tea = everyday variety, decaff + s/sk milk = no sugar +

Blue Ribband original choccy bic to hand

checking on my cat Marvellous Marty the Magnificent = beside me in his pet-bed under the wooden desk 

on which new basic desktop printer will be put = on or around next payday ..... I mean upon the wooden desk not upon the cat  

kicked my old basic Epson printer in frustration many many months ago 

therapeutic for me for about 3 nano-seconds but really, really bad for the printer 

well, let's see if there are many takers for my initial entry into the off-top unofficial world of 'the lounge area'

I see @jonsie is on (nearly 4pm and 28c where he is)

How you doing matey? Is your son keeping you under control

Hi @Cleoriff and @Anonymous all is well A little cooler today but very pleasant to walk along the beach. Just enjoying coffee and a quiet coffee in Costa before Mauy drops us at the bar across from the sauna. That will be a very pleasant wait 

[Cleoriff]

Better bring this thread to the top......as its the one where we keep up with @jonsie 's shenanigans

Am hoping his son is still enjoying his holiday?

I am doing quite well in terms of Christmas..Certainly all presents are bought although not all wrapped. That was my job for yesterday.....but I got fed up

Must get on and finish today..... My daughter in law has asked if I want to go with her to Coventry shopping today...my reply to her was totally unprintable on this forum....

So its midnight Saturday and my son and I agree to an early night. He goes to his hotel in one direction and I set off the other way.

I decide to have one for the road at the next bar. ..which leads to another, then another. ..

I then returned to my favourite bar and found myself sliding down the wall very gracefully around 5.15 am. A very good friend helped me to a motor cycle taxi. She had to get on behind me to stop me sliding off and then get me in the hotel room. 

Sor much for my son looking after me

ps can't  have been drunk because I remember everything,  must have been something I ate:smileywink:

I think the key to all of this jonsie.... is this one line.......

"I decide to have one for the road at the next bar. ..which leads to another, then another. .."

I think you have got out of the habit of 'having an early night'....

Also if honest....you have pulled a clever trick there....

Why is your son NOT staying with you? Sending him off to his own hotel seems a bit sly to me...It's as if you just knew this sort of thing would be happening

@jonsie ....if you drank any water then that's what did it......happens to me every time....I'm fine if I stay on alcohol but as soon as water touches my lips I'm gone.

Please do NOT discourage him from drinking water....it will keep his kidneys flushed

Has water ever improved the look and condition of a pickled egg ?
