[DTCwordfan]

I can just see Tony in that colour - more of a genuine fedora though...........

[tonyav]

Oi, pack it in.

[DTCwordfan]

Pippa looks really good in that outfit.

[ladybirder]

This thread is about The Queen, not bl00dy Pippa!

[DTCwordfan]

It's chatterbank!

[tonyav]

My bible, Ladybirder. For my 60th friends treated me to a day doing as much as I could from the poem. Three pounds of sausages became cream cakes but I did quite a lot. We finished the challenge punting on the Cam.....another story...another time. x

I think the queen looks great.


When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.

You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.

But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.

Tony - you asking for a slap!! Thwack! Take that.
The Queen had a nice bum at P's age. So there.
Come on somebody, I can't be the only one that thinks the Queen looks nice.

[ladybirder]

Oooh, slather - how many cream cakes did you manage gness?

[tonyav]

I was meaning Pippa's bum, ladybirder. And yes the Queen looked very nice.

[DTCwordfan]

Wonder if Phil the Greek liked it?- the very sight might have brought on an attack of his "Desert Disease" - wandering palms......

[tonyav]

LOL, he was in the navy DT.

[cupid04]

Purple, mmm, bring out the pure whiteness of your goatee, Tony,lol!xx

[gness]

Three and a half and a doggy bag before picking the flowers at the front of the garden centre I haven't dared to return to, Ladybirder.
Queen looks nice, don't you think? x

[DTCwordfan]

tony, he visited enough countries to catch it seriously...ask Princess Alexandra.

And ladybirder, yes she did look good (E=R that is) - it will have my mother wearing the colour if she sees that outfit.

Where are my sunglasses?

[tonyav]

Oi cupid, ya cheeky git.

[ladybirder]

How could you leave a half cream cake gness? Respect! Never managed to do that my whole life:-)
And Yes, I agree, the Q does look rather lovely for her age, in purple.
