well it been a while since our story teller started one and as he indisposed at the moment i had better start one feel free to add as we go along.


on a long lost forum long ago things slowed down and then the ladies realised that most of the long time men had dissapeared.
del the pirate
len the story teller
mel the man of many talente
joseph the computer geniouse
well the girls were not going to put up with this so joan,bubbles,trisher,dd and val decided to get the buss out and tour the country to see what was going on

    Oh what a good idea, Val :!: Let's all go on a man hunt :!: :grin:
    They all seem to have gone into hiding at the moment, so I think it's high time we discovered what they are all up to ( chances are they're up to no good, being male, but we still need to find out )

    After Nottingham to pick up Mig, the bus can call at Derby for me and Nina and then we will be off to search for all the missing men.

    I wasn't sure what equipment we would need to entice the men out of hiding, but I've got some crates of beer from the Cane and Able bier.gif,
    a TV for them to watch the footie on football.gif,
    a fold-up bed for Del to lie down and recover on smilie_bett.gif,
    a computer to keep Joseph happy SmilieComputer.gif

    and we ladies are very a very glamorous lot

    If that doesn't bring them out of hiding, I don't know what else will :!:

    Where shall we go first :?: Perhaps a tour round the Midlands to find Len, Del, and Joseph, and then we could head up to Yorkshire for Tony, Lancashire for Ichabod, and then Oxfordshire for Mell. We might find a few more on the way too :grin:

    Oh, I've got a lasso to catch them with when we see them. Thought it might come in handy in case they try to escape :lol:

    They're all round at mine. I'll send 'em back! :smile:

    I was actually pondering this very fact very early this morning: I know tjt is going thro the mill a little (well, a lot) and del is still on Canadian time (it's like American time but slower :smile: ) but I am worried about rehab. And mel and livinglegend. They are quiet, aren't they? If the bus is coming anywhere near Ipswich . . . . . I've packed my nipple tassels. DD

    The fact that dd has her tassles ready is a frightening prospect :shock:
    I'm sorry ladies but between suffering a lot with pain plus ibs & then having a pc that was made in the stone age, I have been rather awol. I'm going to be cheeky too, can you ladies give me a lift to the hospital tomorrow. Off back to see the surgeon again. Knee ops ain't worked..

    I'll try and get on more..

    PS... That lasso is chafing.. :eek:

    Hi ladies
    Oh Joan beer,tv and glamorous ladies you have such a way with words,I bet men are like putty in your hands........... :eek:

    How can I resist count me in for the bus ride of a lifetime (if the beer doesn't run out).I feel a moral obligation to protect del from the insatiable advances of you ladies,even at the expense of my own safety that's how dedicated and loyal we men are............ :shock:

    Please remember the map DD (even if you mere ladies cannot read it).In case of emergency I will pack my Good Beer Guide.Just hope the bus is heading as far south as Faversham.

    Hello John, and pleased to meet you. We'll call in at Watford for you, or otherwise we'll find you at Luton Airport. That cuppa would be very welcome on this epic journey. :grin:
