I May Need Counselling............

[The Builder]

Played at a rather smart wedding on Saturday. Everyone nicely turned out, including the inevitable kilt or two.
However, one elderly kilt wearer was taking advantage of the warm sunshine for a bit of a sit-down in a handy deckchair. Well, he must have nodded off, how can I put it, "legs akimbo."

Playing weddings is the best for people watching, but sometimes, there are things that just can't be unseen. The old boy was clearly "taking the air", which didn't help my concentration one bit.

I think I need AB to help me through this trauma...............

Indeed - who wants to see the last turkey in Tesco's?

[The Builder]

I knew you'd understand, Andy ;o)

[Theland]

It might have been to distract the flies from his sandwich.

Oh dear, reminds me of when my husband was in a wheelchair after an operation. He was wearing loose shorts and no underpants. I happened to notice in the supermarket - a bit too late - that he had one testicle hanging out. Yikes!

My Aunt used to have a boyfriend in a dance band who played trumpet - she would stand at the front chewing a lemon.

Distracting eh?

[Theland]

He was having a ball!

[The Builder]

Ah, I knew I could rely on AB for emotional support.

Mamya, on the whole, I think I'd prefer the lemon ;o)

[Theland]

You should have taken a picture of him and put out on the net.

[Peter Pedant]

he awoke and said
you have been staring at the unemployed .....

[The Builder]

I wish I had, Theland. Trouble is, I had a mouthful of tenor saxophone at the time, but thank you to you and Jo for lowering the tone of this thread even more than it already is ;o)))

edit to:
I only noticed in the supermarket - when passers-by remarked that he was keen on the game - "Spot the ball"
available every sunday in the News of the World I recollect

I'm a Scouser, it's what I do :-)

[The Builder]

PP ... not too difficult in the original gymnasia. Assuming they had The News of the World back then.

[The Builder]

Theland, you're a proper "scally"

[hereIam]

So it's true, a Scotsman does not wear underpinnings when he has a kilt on .. !

[The Builder]

Painfully true, hereiam ;o)

[Theland]

I have to go everywhere twice - the second time to apologise :-)

[The Builder]

Theland...

"It is a good rule in life never to apologise. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them."

[Theland]

I like that. Cut my travel time by half!
