Afternoon tea for gentlefolk should always consist of corned beef sandwiches with thick crusts, steaming and heavily stained mugs of tea, and expletive filled words with plenty of local vernacular.

Jonno is looking in but he isn't getting points and I haven't noticed him posting either. He's probably thrashing around in the mud with a funny-shaped football. Or getting ready for another academic year?
Trojan, I like your style! Will there be pickle in the sandwiches? and will the mugs be enamel, with the spoons left in? I am sighing just thinking about it. |

Oh lordy - enamel! I'd completely forgotten about them. Enamel coated, then half coated, then, well, just bits coated.
A garden party simply isn't authentic without a bass broom holding up the side of the house. And, lesley, please don't forget the urine soaked granny and the gabby and incontinent grandpa (I can stand in for the latter), 'cos we'll love to listen to their stories, wind, rattling dentures, and stuff.

| I can stand in for the former. Where shall we start? We could hire ourselves out as a double-act to entertain at garden parties. We could take over the world! |

At present arming and refuelling the 14th Armoured Panzer Mobility Scooter Division, and greasing the Zimmer frames on assault gliders, in preparation for world takeover.
The Alzheimer's special forces brigade left for the 'front' yesterday....they think.

Blimey, it was like rubbing the magic lamp there, see sci-tech if you haven't spotted Jonno already!

University students today can't afford to avoid the internet. They retrieve their assignments, communicate with profs, and check their grades online. If a necessary class is closed, they take it via computer.
My distraction as an undergrad was the freedom to drink beer without my parents' knowing. :)
Ms. Sand, I love egg-salad sandwiches and shortbread. What time shall I arrive?

What, even more than corned beef and pickle?
Every piece of work produced by students at Jonathan's "old" (only just) college, is stored online, partly for accessibility and partly to enable checks for plagiarism.
Wait me me, trojan - I'm right in front of you! |

Crikey, that promise about a PM was in 2009 - it is worrying how quickly the last couple of years have gone by. And I need to decide whether I should forgive you for calling me a flibbertigibbet :D! Broken promises...would you vote for me if I registered myself as a candidate in your constituency Lesley :)? Though that young chap in the Labour Party conference who said his family were struggling along on benefits when really he had to downgrade from a million pound house to a £300,000 house because his father's property business went t**s up. I think this guy has the edge! :)
Sat, I've been taking a bit of a break from the site (again). No real reason behind it other than to try and spend a bit less time with my eyes staring at the computer screen and more staring at people infringing on the rugby field. With uni starting in the morning I will have less time again but I'll make sure to visit the boards more often than I have been lately. I have been logging in but not really doing anything.
I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the Merv stories!

And, the older you get, the quicker they fly!
Shame I had to start suffering Merv again to restore your happy memories of Merv-tales. :(
Not only will I vote for you: I shall go one, no two, better. Trojan and I will be your campaign managers. We can also help with fund-raising, by organising - lemme think - how about garden parties? We'd be good at that.
Good luck tomorrow! |

jonno, perhaps you should feel thankful that she didn't also call you a will-o'-the-wisp, a clown. :)

May I have a bit of sauerkraut with my corned beef, please?

Hmmm - visions of Jonno scampering through hills and nunneries clutching his guitar. No, banishes images. He would not forgive me! Revert to mud and rugby ball. Ooh that's better.
Sauerkraut, with pleasure. I shall have to find out how to make it. I hear that home-made is much better than bought. |

Welcome back Jonno. Had I internet access essays would have been a distant last place if anywhere, I'd have been sucked in to doing exactly what I do now, and if a global started at 2 or 3 am would probably have ended up doing it for 4 months anyway, and if not still waited another hour for a last crystal ball. I may do it all now as I can, but pretty sure I would have virtually as much when I shouldn't, I have very little self discipline.

Sauerkraut with corned beef? Not too sure that such might not lower the tone somewhat; but if you can supply appropriate credentials, chipped enamel mug etc, I'm sure that something can be arranged provided that you tip lesley very generously.
Campaign managers, Lesley? Does that mean a nice bit of embezzling, lying, being a thorough rotter? I'm up for that.

I suppose it could mean fund-raising and retaining large amounts of the proceeds as expenses. I don't think there's too much scope to make a fortune unless you're voted in, and then the world's your - um - lobster? I don;t imagine politicians will be in a hurry to abolish their personal troughs.
Why the groan, Jazmee - the talk of financial naughtiness, or corned beef and sauerkraut, or just the chipped enamel mugs? |

In that case my most sincere apologies. I really 'do' hate eliciting unintentional *groans*. More fun tickling an ape's belly and getting a monosyllabic grunt.

trojan, by virtue of being one-eighth German, I lay rightful claim to sauerkraut on anything, and certainly with mashed potatoes. (Oh, what a civilized city Munich is!)
I refuse to tip Lesley. She might fall over.
