Last week's speaker from the Society for Psychic Research was unavoidably detained by an exorcism in Ecclefechan but has promised to try to make it here tonight, if she can get her teeth back in.

just a 'thank you' from the council i would assume.

[ladyalex]

Good night, tony.

Excel...any chance of you taking over as butler again ? You have the experience I seem to remember.

Also, I will be absent next week also as we have arranged to go to an outdoor Shakespeare. The weather forecast is for 'showers, max temp 16C' so it will be wellies, jerseys and rugs....

[ladyalex]

Have you had 'elf and safety training , excel ?

[excelsior-1]

already on it.

tony handed me the butle medallion on his way out the door

[BigMac]

Sorry - here late.

Still confused about the new Apple product, the iPatch... ...

Does this solve software errors?

A v large flagon for me please - on the wagon next month.

[excelsior-1]

here you are, bigmac.

welcome to the mansion

[ladyalex]

Hello BigMac
I do hope you're right abut the iPatch..I have my eye on it from the raffle.
Are you having a 'liver month' in July ?

[Mamyalynne]

Must apologise seems a soar flare knocked out the Internet, have patchy reception at best, have I missed the Rofl.

[BigMac]

Apparently, I have the body and internal workings of a man half my age; sadly, I have the liver of a Strasbourg goose.

Another flagon, if I may?

[excelsior-1]

hold still bigmac - while i refill you.

no mamya. you've not missed it

[ladyalex]

That is indeed sad, Big Mac...

We haven't had the raffle yet, but, does everyone have their tickets ?

Solar flare, by the way ? I'm gobsmacked that anyone in this country is getting enough sun for a solar flare!

[BigMac]

My tickets are three and seven - will these colours be lucky?

[humbersloop]

Good evening Mi'lady

amidst curious climatolgy, for the riffle we bring:

onesize pocho hastily, though tastefully, improvised from old blue tarpaulin
1 x midge repellant aerosol can, empty, with 1x tube part-used sunscreen
an indeterminate though useful stainless steel fitting
half a chorizo sausage, b/b 17.06.11

Having initially entered the stables muttering "where's that skunk, I'm 'avin 'im" I'm pleased to report the otter has returned early to our abode.

Further Incident averted, a quick bucket of Zapp would be nice.

[excelsior-1]

somebody go fetch the telly in here.

murray at wimbledon is becoming quite a saga

[excelsior-1]

just in time humbersloop.

here - drink and enjoy

[ladyalex]

Hello Humber...just in time for the raffle.

Big Mac, ...it would be a dreadful breach of security for the winning colours to be disclosed early.

[humbersloop]

Security?? She says security!!

[wolf63]

I am still a year or so too young to join up but will tell you this story, I am not sure if I read it or was told it.

A young lady travelled from her home in Ecclefechan (known locally as Fechan) to college each day. One day the bus was late and she raced to her class in a panic. "Sorry I'm late" she says "but the fekkin/Fechan bus was late".


:-)
I liked it

[excelsior-1]

[ladyalex]

I don't think we can draw the raffle until Murray has finished...the excitement might do us all mischiefs.
