Re: In a hurry to post ? FastBook

Update from P: missing NZ. Life here is not cheaper, better and all those other things you hear about America. We're only here because Mr S got a great job offer [or seemed to]. Ho hum, only 22 months to go...

Came in after a break expecting to prop up the bar as per usual and it's not even been started yet. Also need a good chinwag and to drown my sorrows with the regulars

Aha! and as if by magic, there you are.

It will be opening this weekend and as it was your suggested name that won the day you will need to be around to do the honours & to cut the ribbon.

Has been on to the suppliers. The bar is already stocked. We just need a volunteer to wash the glasses.

I feel honoured and I will repay that honour by spending as much time in there as I did the old bar

Wow, this new bar is really going to be posh innit! The glasses never got washed in the old place, you just had to take your chance or drink straight from the bottle

Re: In a hurry to post ? FastBook

So, the phone rings

Mr BEVS: Did I leave my lunch box there?

Me : Yis ! Looked like it was a good day old.

Mr BEVS: Good ! I'm in the area. I'll pop in for it then.

Me: You can do that if you want. It's all clean and shiny now. I gave the mess - pasta, salad cream, pineapple & whatever else it was to the hens

Mr BEVS : Disappointed silence.
