my DIL has just returned from the big smoke with a Macanudo - cafe hyde park cigar made in Dominican republic 13cm long and 2cm across - I need a really special moment to light up as it will last well beyond an hour and I can’t be disturbed - it must be burnt well before lighting up proper of course and the ash carefully preserved!
So I see:mrgreen:
well we watched the wedding of course at 6ish are time and for me it became just a simple wedding for two lovely young people in love who were putting up with all the razzmatazza for the rest of us. I would have loved to have been able to see and hear the reception that would have been fun. what a joyous moment for Megan and her mother and how sad that they could not be supported by their own family members - thank goodness the episcopal preacher was there to support them instead! - wow he did liven the show up - reminds me of a story sung and told about " my grandmas hands" by a lovely R&R singer years ago [bill withers]
he’s rushing it a bit ain’t he though?
I’m having a good sniff, I love the smell of cigars, but you know that.
cigar smoke on you collar told a tale on you
cigar smoke on you collar said you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar you and I are through
'Cause cigar smoke on you collar told a tale on you, yeah
I love that song, you devil. Have you ever had lipstick on your colour?
Actually, maybe it’s better you don’t answer that.

Lovely neat bit of work there Spitty, like I always say, ya gotta have an angle and thems beautiful angles, not bad on the young bird either Gummy.
Looking forward to your tale Sweetie.
I was watching a program on BBC4 last night, very interesting, it was about Sicily, the presenter was having a go at threading grapes in a hole in the ground lined with a big sheet of plastic, he said that the usual procedure was to have several people in the hole at the same time, and to keep production moving at a steady pace they relieved themselves in the same hole rather than having to climb out and get back in again.
Boy am I glad I don’t drink wine, can’t wait to tell the Dolly sisters about that come their next “Coffee morning, I’ll wait a while until they have a good sup down them, then, “Hey ladies, you’d want to see the state of the old lads who p….d in that stuff”
It seems that in Sicily the police are the butt of a lot of local jokes, here’s an example.
A policeman is walking along the street using his mobile and he walks into a “Do Not Stop” signpost, then continues to bang his head off the sign. I love that one.
Mmm I drink wine:shock:
I will post my true story later. I need to put the Roast on.
JEM, you are off piste.
I said I preferred RJ & I do.
But to clarify my objection I am agin the use of lower case in Robert, as in robert.
Call me old fashioned if you like.
OH!!!
Can I no longer call you Young Robert???
A comment not um, accurate.
I don’t flounce

This is very silly, I can’t be bothered to reply
