When:     16 July

For:         Lunch and Laughs.

Hope to see you there

Hmmmm

Well then... where does one start??

Is it with Joyce and Loney Bones under the table singing " Don't let the Waiter go Home" ??

OR is it with Barbara, who after the second bottle of white ( that she drank on her own mind you ) decided that it would be fun to try and herd the ceremic elephant statues on display at the cafe??

OR is it with the Tornado who insisted on stealing food from everyone else's plates??


Where as I ... as usual ... was the quiet little mouse in the corner....

The doc at the hospital had a rather thick accent.... Mum couldn't understand him and thought he asked her if she was married to an American.

Actually, he was asking her if she'd ever been on Nurefen!

Not much difference           ::) ::)
