I shall be travelling oop north to see that old scallywag @pencilsqueezer next Sunday (13th December). We’re gonna do lunch at Telfords Warehouse, Chester around noon and then chew the fat as the afternoon drifts by. If you’d like to join us for a pre Xmas mingle then please come along

Hoping to see Mr Squeezer later today and this topic will most likely crop up and I reckon I’m in.
Say hello from me.
Yoo-hoo. I’ll put the kettle on.
I’ll have started my long Xmas break by then and I’d love to see Mr Squeezer.
Sounds like an excellent idea.
Have to check trains and a hotel.
Would love to but it’s too near the start of the festering season. If anything is arranged for next year official or unofficial let me know so that I can take advantage of my senior rail card.
Have a splendid time.
That’s a brilliant painting in the OP!
I’ll see what I can do to get a pass from ‘other’ duties.
Hotel booked. Train booked.
See yez there.
Why would I want to spend time with that reprobate? Oh I could assail him with my Green Christmas CD! Force it upon his person. Let’s see if what I can arrange vis-à-vis my likkle doggies (or brung ’em with me). He owes me a sprout.
Good ho. I shall polish me ballet pumps.
On shift that day, so unless your drifting afternoon stretches to 1900, I am otherwise engaged.
I see there`s a stagecoach leaves Newton-Le-Willows at 5.30 am, managed to book the last standing place at the back so I`ll be there hopefully for lunch provided the Cheshire plains aren`t waterlogged.
I am also planning to be there providing not too hungover from a family do the night before. Baron owes mew a pint anyway – did he say drinks were on him?
He mewed exactly that when I saw him yesterday Steve. Then he clawed up the furniture and ran up the curtains.
SteveT, tut, tut, always after a freebie! I’ll have a crown or three to buy you a hangover cure. I’d better do some saving up.
Anyhow didn`t I leave a case of expensive cider at your place @stevet?
Isn’t expensive cider a contradiction in terms?
I don`t know to be honest, it`s only words init?
5:30 am! I’m not sure what DFB has planned yet but if he isn’t picking me up from home I’ll try to travel into Chester early and keep you company.
Looking forward to seeing everyone who has thrown their hat into the ring and anybody else who fancies a pint and bite to eat.
I wish I could be there, P.
Think of me when you’re having a nibble.
I know I do.
hurrrr
’twas a jest Mr Squeezer, I’ ll land in the city of my birth around 11am, looking forward to the conference on – ‘Has Rap Music Addled Tigger’s Brain?’
Phew. Thank gawd for that.
I think of nought else whenever or wherever I nibble dearheart.
I’m hoping to come to this, disguised as Beany’s chauffeur
A hat.
A decent chauffeur has a chauffeur’s hat.
I’ve always thought there was more than a hint of Lady Penelope about our Beany.
An enjoyable day out beside the Shropshire Canal with 7 worthy Afterworders in attendance; Pencilsqueezer, DFB, Beany, Mike H, Baron Harkonnen, Steve T and Vince Black. Everybody on good form. Decent lunch, beer in moderation(obviously), a load of chat, some of which would probably qualify as Afterword bollocks. Lots of arm waving, particularly when describing musical performances. Toot that flute!
That’s MY painting Tigger, and looks even more stunning in the flesh!
