Blue Nun.

[Theland]

Is Blue Nun still a good booze for Xmas?

[tonyav]

Tony, you should have waited until the towel went on

Never worked, Theland. In my neck of the woods they always rang the bell ( usually an old school bell ) 10 mins before the towels went on. And she would usually say 'I'll have a brandy and babysham' gawd blimey I was only on apprentice wages.

[tonyav]

scorpiojo and a Chow Mein? You know how to treat a lady, tony LOL LOL

To bloody right I did, it was either a chowmein in a sit down Chinese restaurant or really pushing the boat out at a Berni inn.

[Theland]

Know the feeling Tony. On £4 a week and trying to make an impression.
No wonder I was a latecomer to sex?

[scorpiojo]

...prawn cocktail, sirloin & Black Forest gateau....?

[Theland]

"Sport and lemon AND pork scratchings? Yer dirty sod! I know what you're after!!"

[chrissa1]

No. On the 70s it was Blue Nun and a beef fondue, preceded by a prawn cocktail. Ah, happy days. :)

[chrissa1]

We then graduated on to Chateau Nerf Du Pap, or is it Pape.

[Theland]

Yuck! Yes I too suffered prawn cocktails trying to make an impression with empty pockets.
Sap rising but all the girls went elsewhere!

[Theland]

So naive in those days.
Broke, fumbling and perpetual virginity!
So unfair!

Hank on, was it you that I took to The Dirty Duck back in 75 you wore a lovely frock from Chelsea Girl if I remember rightly.

Theland Question AuthorKnow the feeling Tony. On £4 a week and trying to make an impression.

Yeah, hard going on apprentice money wasn't it, Theland.

chrissa1 No. On the 70s it was Blue Nun and a beef fondue, preceded by a prawn cocktail. Ah, happy days. :)

I see that you also knew smooth guy's like Theland and myself that knew how to treat a gal, chrissa.

[tonyav]

And a lift home on the back of my ( much loved ) Lambretta SX 200.

[scorpiojo]

How I wish it was, Tony, but I was still at school...junior school.

[tonyav]

LOL.
You don't know what you missed, jo.

[scorpiojo]

LOL...put Mrs Tony on, and I'll ask her...;-)

[Theland]

Went from £4 to £6 a week and started paying a shilling income tax. Felt all grown up. "Us taxpayers!"

[tonyav]

Doh

[tonyav]

Don't forget the 50p a week stamp, Theland.

[Theland]

Why did I think the girls would be impressed with a port and lemon? So naive.

Come on girls! What did you look for in a bloke in 1967?
The Summer of Love?

[Theland]

Oh yeah! The source of the old saying - "Lickem an stickem!"

[tonyav]

Should have bought them Port and Brandy, Theland. That usually got results ( if they were still standing ) ;-)
