bluebottle Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 79?! A hand as steady, an enthusiasm as undimmed, a wit as sharp as ever, as evidenced in this thread! Many more of them, Allan! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan downes Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 79?! A hand as steady, an enthusiasm as undimmed, a wit as sharp as ever, as evidenced in this thread! Many more of them, Allan! Coming up ! Today on Family Bathrooms though much against Mullie's advice ! Here we had a very modest but indecently loaded couple - Mr and Mrs Naf but with just one 'F' - who both wanted a small twee cottage, two bedrooms max, an outside tap instead of a family bathroom but they both enjoyed gardening and therefore would like one the size of the Malvern Hills or the Serengeti which ever came up first. Another couple however, and the total opposite - he was a potter, she was just plain potty, wanted sixty bedrooms, eighty acres and an aircraft hanger. They bought Heathrow .

If we'd known it was your birthday we could have had a whip round and got you an extra large bottle of Colron! Well my birthday runs out in 20 minutes so you've all till got time - Robinson will start the ball rolling with a swift fifty - if he can remember the combination to his wallet... Cheers.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted November 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 7, 2014 Only 79 ??? You looked 50 nearly 30 years ago ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Popplewell Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Only 79 ??? You looked 50 nearly 30 years ago ! If you ask me Allan only looks fifty now! He's quite remarkably preserved, probably due to all that Colron he's used over the years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allan downes Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 The 'Syrup Season' is upon us. Prepare yourselves for a daily dose imported by the truckload from America as it drips freely out of the back of your TV set. We'll be getting the usual - Mum and dad estranged. Weepy kid falls down mine shaft. Dad breaks his neck rescuing him. Mum and dad reunite and all end up singing Abide With Me through misty eyes and syrupy smiles then, like all good Americans, will be shooting each other tomorrow. Anyway, it'll be a change from 'Family Bathrooms' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS1977 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) I did Mullie, it's called 'Tiling an engine shed roof without going nuts'. It didn't work, but at least you got the shed tiled.... Happy birthday! Edited November 8, 2014 by RJS1977 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

allan downes Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Here's maybe a little competition where everyone states his/hers most syrupy movie and the winner gets a tour around the Tate & Lyle Factory. Mine's "The Bells Of St Mary's" with Bing Crosby - ultimate syrup. Oh, and any Lassie film... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted November 8, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) A happy belated birthday Allan! Same day as step mom Hence the belated wishes!

Mine's "The Bells Of St Mary's" with Bing Crosby - ultimate syrup. Oh, and any Lassie film... At last, a competion against Allan Downes that I might actually have a chance in! My entry is a musical. And its very short. Just one song really, but it packs a whole steaming pile of American Christmas cheese . Hold on to your bowels!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpkI7GW2V34 But that obviously didn't say everything it needed to in 5 minutes, because then some hollywood evil genius turned it into a movie 'starring' Rob Lowe. Happy birthday from me too Allan. It is belated but being 12 hours ahead down here in Australia we are living in your future. Everything that happens there has already happenned here.
