Update on the refurbishment of the Gardeners Rest

[veggiechicken]

VC - if you doubt what is written in the aforesaid don't take my word for it - check it out on Wikipedia

Of course I believe you Shen - and every word that is written on Pickiweedier

I'm extremely pleased to hear that - I had intended to put a rider at the bottom of the page:

"This is a true story - only the facts have been changed coupled with some names thrown in to persecute the innocent"

[bearded bloke]

I won't name them but AP and BB might be able to throw some light on the subject.

No sorry, no light can be cast by me, the batteries in my torch are a long time flat

Perhaps rary was involved after all if so most likely as a bystander with AP being on the bell all evening

Snug....that is soooo old school Janie.....its our function room

No snug??? Where are the few of us who are not card carrying alcoholics going to nurse our ginger beer or britvic orange juice of an evening then? Certainly don't want to sit in a room that could double for a hotel foyer. Marble floor indeed! I want a room I can put me wellie-clad feet up in please.

Shen you are dreaming again, when has AP been on the bell all evening, infact when has AP been on the bell?

We could do with little room with a coffee chocolate bar,for those of us that do not or not prefer, not to have the hard stuff,after all surly it has to cater for all of the vine folk,we could still mix up and mingle,catch any fun and shows ext.

I agree, it's totally against my beliefs

I do believe the marble floor is being installed for the benefit of people like yourself, where you can come in and have a seat and relax with whatever beverage you like, and your welly clad feet can be covered in s**** smelling dirt from your plot, and all that's needed is a quick hose out in the morning, no need to waste time mopping, all the water will flow out via a shugh (thats an open drain) and be collected in a tank where the contents can be recycled back to the nearby allotments, so helping the environment.

I wonder why that came up-- S****-- I will try that again-- sweet, its working fine now

rary - When I was here a year or so back AP always bought his round - at first I thought he was just trying to prove that what they say about Aberdonians was a load of Horlocks but later I came to realise the real reason he was always first to buy a round

rary - Found this old photgraph of you on Silas Marner's webpage - you were a fine looking guy in your youth - see where you got your training - Silas would have been a great teacher

You are cruel Shen , poor rary

I don't wish to be mean to rary but if you have read the story of Silas Marner you will know the story about the Squire's granddaughter - back then there was a rumour that the old Squire was so desperate to keep any scandal at bay that he paid someone most handsomely to keep their mouth shut - I'm not suggesting anything you understand but I also heard that Silas collected all kinds of evidence just in case anyone tried to take the girl away from him and he also took some pics with a new fangled camera he had got from the Squire - just seems strange to me that this particular pic of rary should be in his box that he kept under lock and key - I would never have got hold of it if Silas hadn't asked me to be a witness to his will and it fell out of the box on to the floor and I picked it up and just forgot to return it to him. I'd be obliged if you didn't say anything about this to anyone - we don't want rary to get the wrong idea.

The story telling by yourself and Rary cheers me
