Remember Remember....



...the 5th November is not all about male bloggers beetling about Parliament Square upsetting plod.

Someone has to stop and search her. I suppose I'll do it, if no one else will.

Tuscan Tony said...

That might be something to ask her about on the 12th Nov, should she be able to make it. The Tuscan understand that the cost might prohibit her being there, though. Whip round, anyone?

lilith said...

Steady....:-)

Tuscan Tony said...

Do not fear, Lils, this post is going to be *heavily* moderated.

lilith said...

You really are a connoisseur TT, I have to hand it to you :-)

Tuscan Tony said...

I certainly am when it comes to the female decoupage.

The Lakelander said...

Internet Explorer?

Have you tried Firefox yet?

Nice norks, by the way.

Tuscan Tony said...

Testing at the moment:

google chrome, opera, and firefox

Like the google one.

You're walking on eggshells in this particular comments section, so tread carefully with the language. The Tuscan will however condescend to allow your last sentence to pass because it is a purely factual statement.

Who is the chick in the Pic?

Word Verif: chidules

Calfy said...

It's me...Lilith's Daughter/Kilod (now Calfy)...and that was very quick of you TT...I have only just finished making a profile!

Tuscan Tony said...

Herc, your answer below.

Calfy - come on the 12th. There will be a number of monied gentlemen of leisure there only too willing to pony up a few quid for a hungry damsel's lunch: in exchange for nothing more than a firsthand account of your run-in with plod earlier this year.

idle said...

Lil, a thousand apologies. I had no idea. That sort of faux pas would have cost one a bottle of port in the regiment.

Calfy, I grovel in embarrassment. I assumed this was just another pic from the Tuscan archive. You looked exactly like Alan Shearer in that baby pic lil posted a year or so back. Glad to see you've turned out so well. You couldn't look less like a geordie footballer if you tried.

Re the blog profile: unwise to put a line break between "cows" and "breath in the mornings". I'm glad I'm not the only Divine Comedy fan in the UK; apparently his following is almost exclusively German.

Finally, a word of advice. Beware blogones who invite you anywhere on the premise that others will pay.

lilith said...

You were set up Iders! And your advice is spot on. If TT had been taken handbag shopping in the morning he could very well be out of cash by lunchtime and might be found waving a few Euro notes about with little conviction (if the Beast is to be believed..) Anyway, I am proud of my little calf and constantly have to resist the urge to post gorgeous pics of her myself, so thanks TT.

Hercules said...

I like the outfit Calfy! Welcome to the group... Yo mama is a great blogger!

So did you get charged for your actions???

Herc

The Lakelander said...

I stand by what I said earlier.....

....about Firefox....

Tuscan Tony said...

idle - the Tuscan loves the smell of burning brakes and frantic backpedalling in the early evening.

All the rest of you - a fiver each and her lunch bill will be covered. Naturally this will be the subject of a separate post shortly.

Calfy said...

Herc-thanks, it was for Halloween. I've done a brief post about it on my baby blog.
The Guys getting arrested was even more silly.

Lakelander, FF is the browser of choice amongst my generation. Only fools use IE.

TT, thanks for the invite! Think I am meeting with my lawyer that morning so will be in London anyhow.

The Lakelander said...

Calfy: you've made my day.

I turned 49 the week before last.

T/T: put me down for a donation. I'm easily bought.

killemallletgodsortemout said...

Ah, the Lilithette!

Perfect, mademoiselle, just perfect.

Tuscan Tony said...

Calfy, try google chrome. We is enjoying it.

Lakes, send £ 20 in used 50p's encased in a Big Bertha headcover to the usual address.

Kills, certainly easier on the eye than Fawkes or Beast.

The Beast Of Clerkenwell said...

Good God
Why didnt she turn up for work dressed like that?
Poor Mr Fawkes would have had a heart attack and I could have inherited his empire.
We would have also paid her more(+:
Or indeed just paid her to sit there.

Tuscan Tony said...

Beast, if you read my post tomorrow you may well achieve that next week.

fleetofworlds said...

Idle - there but for the Grace of God and all that... suffering severe technical issues this evening which hampered commenting until someone else had put their foot in it first!

The Lakelander said...

T/T: I'm afraid the Big Berthas got chopped for some custom fit Taylor Made R7 woods and irons last winter - though I still have the awesome Callaway square headed driver.

And I've played 3 full rounds of golf since then, probably the best I've ever played....and just one of them at my own club.

Still, £1,300 for a round of golf isn't so bad, is it?

I think I'm getting my work /life balance wrong, somehow....

I stand by what I said earlier about the norks.

Old Holborn said...

Beast.

You really should have been there

Tuscan Tony said...

Lakes, I got a letter published in the FT few years ago which referred to the "2-3-4" bankers' rule in the USA: borrow at 2, lend at 3 and be on the golf course by 4.

OH, I thought he was there, or was it his alter ego The Hitch that pitched up?

The Beast Of Clerkenwell said...

OH
I was you "gat toothed" senile old twat
I was the only one not in a mask to get pinched.
I was also the only one to say fuck off when they demanded my details and fucking got away with it.

electro-kevin said...

"I like the outfit Calfy! Welcome to the group... Yo mama is a great blogger!

(Hercules)

For once I wouldn't mind getting charged for MY actions !

I've done my own dedication.

electro-kevin said...

I'd pay willingly.

;-)

Peregrine John said...

Um. Wow.

Tuscan Tony said...

Beast, perhaps his years on stage have left him hard of hearing. Go easy on the fellah please.

E-K - nothing if not direct.

PJ - indeed.

lilith said...

You caused havoc here last night TT. Elby got up at 2am and met Calfy on the stairs. He then went back to bed only to dream he was turfing out scores of young men who had appeared for a halloween party...

The Lakelander said...

Lilith: which prescription drugs is Elby on at the moment?

They sound like fun and I'm sure Dr Lakelander must have some in her bag!

Isn't it amazing - our host, Tuscan Tony puts up a picture of a pretty girl and he has a collection of forty-somethings quickly drooling into their Complan?

Isn't middle-age just grand?

lilith said...

It's quite something, Lakes, middle age. Elby is on the occasional cocodimol for his sore bits.

Old Holborn said...

Beast you twat, I was refering to the meeting with the handicapped chipmunk.

TT, imagine of you can, OH portraying the civilised V dealing ruthlessly with authority, showing superior legal knowledge, supreme confidence and that slight, subtle arrogance that comes from knowing no matter what is said, you have what remains of the law of your side.

In the background, meanwhile, a black walrus and a mammoth are argueing over mating rights to a herd of wilderbeast. Loudly. Like bull seals in rut.

See you both on the 12th.

The Beast Of Clerkenwell said...

OH
Those Wilderbeeste are hot.
The walrus lost.
They dont know who I am
See you next week
I will be stood by the balding Essex Gypsy(traveller)

Tuscan Tony said...

Lils, well, look on the bright side, if she doesn't meet the sort of top-notch chaps that read Tuscan Tony, she'll be missing put on a world of conversational opportunity. Or then and again, perhaps not.

Lakes, I now envision you and Mrs Lakes spending many an agreeable weekend round the roaring log fire, quaffing Night Nurse and crunching Termazepam.

OH - please be tolerant of the Beast: he is from "The North" and therefore requires some serious affirmative action. Like free ukelele lessons, for one, and possibly some advice on whippet handling, and how properly to clean a flat cap, etc, etc.

Beast - I'll teach you how to eat a Battenburg cake with the tips of your teeth, if you can show me how to eat whelks without making a noise.

England, especially W Sussex, is exceedingly wet, I discovered this morning upon waking in a strange-ish bed, BTW. Thought I'd mention that.

Ms Smack said...

Lilith, your daughter is DIVINE!!

Hi Calfy!

Welcome to the blog world :)

The Lakelander said...

T/T: Dr Lakelander and I will soon have a new interest to keep us amused through the cold winter evenings in the Lake District....all will be revealed very soon.

Ms Smack said: "Welcome to the blog world" In these parts, it sounds like something you would find engraved on a manhole cover...
