Stop it Baldy, my bladder is given way.

Just realised that Balders is almost an anagram of Bladder
I think I know what will happen next

[Lumpy]

As I now find myself cursed with adulthood and mature thinking here is a revised plan for the Gardeners Rest Halloween Party.

6.30 pm - Welcoming words by the Moderators

7.00 pm - Cake judging (please note that no cake will be accepted for judging if it is too scary, rude or decorated with anything other than flowers)

7.30 pm - Tea and scones - the burger van is no longer an option as it is not a healthy eating option)

8.00 pm - The carved pumpkin competition - nothing to scary as us oldies frighten easy.

8.30 pm - Closing speech as the Moderators hand out free pairs of bed socks made from small squares of quilting.

Please also note that NO fancy dress will be allowed. Full formal wear is expected.

[Nicos]

Flowers and / or leaves perchance ?

Who are you ? ............ And what have you done with lumpy?

I retract my earlier statement of lumpys the girl for the job, until such time as she unscrews her sensible head and rolls it far far away!
We want, expected and dam well deserve nutters!!!

WHAT this time off year,cold and leaves falling of the trees,shiver me timbers,i think hot water bottle and the 2 halves of Carrie's squash tied together with left over garden twine.

[veggiechicken]

Sorry to say this, SP, but I prefer Lumpy's revised programme So much more genteel and befitting. I can't abide the trick or treat mentality which seems to be part of Halloween these days. Just the thought of Cadders and Bladders in suspenders is enough to scare me witless
Bring on the cake and lets bob our apples together in a great vat of Mull-ed wine. A good old singsong round the bonfire and a mug of cocoa at midnight.!
What better way could there be of spending an evening, than with friends, all happy and smiley?

[Lumpy]

Sorry but there will be NO wine, bobbing or mulled anything.

[Greenleaves]

Thats better Lumpy, you are beginning to see my way of thinking

[SusieG]

-------now I'm genuinely worried for dear, confused Lumpy............

[Lumpy]

I must admit it is very difficult trying to be so adult and rational all of the while........I'm starting to worry about myself especially since Greenleaves seems to approve.

[veggiechicken]

Don't worry about it Lumpy. It takes time and dedication to become adult and rational but one day, you too could become as sensible as Greenleaves and myself, VC said modestly

[Cadalot]

LUMPY its not too late think about the Lyrics to All The Madmen by Bowie

Day after day
They send my friends away
To mansions cold and grey
To the far side of town
Where the thin men stalk the streets
While the sane stay underground

Day after day
They tell me I can go
They tell me I can blow
To the far side of town
Where it's pointless to be high
'Cause it's such a long way down

They are trying to get you to grow up resist COME BACK TO US and think

Cause I'd rather stay here
With all the madmen
Than perish with the sad men roaming free
And I'd rather play here
With all the madmen
For I'm quite content they're all as sane
As me

We want the old Lumpy, We want the old Lumpy etc etc.

[Lumpy]

Cad I think - Bombed out in space on a spaced out bomb suits me better.

Ta anyway.......I must admit being a sensible adult is very tiring.
