Grumpy Old Women

[Tigger]

I went to see this show in B'ham last weekend and it was hilarious. One of my colleagues organised the trip for us (thankyou Stella) and we had a great evening - 2 hours of continuous laughter.

The only disturbing factor was how much of the script applied to me!

I won't spoil it for anyone going to see them at other venues, but all I will say is watch out for the 'Lakeland' sketch.

Dear Tigger, i don't think you are a grumpy old woman, well not all of the time anyway.

[lizzie]

Thanks Tigger

I've just finished reading "The Diary of a Grumpy Old Woman" Hysterical and very scary.

It's amazing much applies to me too. I'm not grumpy all the time either Tigger/Herby. I just find other peoples behaviour challenging

[Zena]

I suddenly started listening to myself in the car the other day and realised that I am officially a grumpy old woman! in the space of about 1/2 an hr I had complained about "idiots" in Tescos car park, gangs of aimless youths hanging about on street corners and people who put their Christmas decorations up so early!
Perhaps more alcohol would improve my mood.....

Dear Zena, i think one bottle of the mothers ruin a day is plenty.

I`ve just been to the pub and sat and moaned about the length of young girls skirts and how they`ll catch their deaths going out without coats at this time of year . Someone shoot me - I`m turning into my mother - HELP
OLD FART SEEDLING

[Compo]

I know!!! We got the CD and Mrs Compo passes the test with flying colours by her very own admission. I also qualify for the Grumpy old man category, with flying colours........there are many things that qualify both of us, but we are both agreed it is mobile phones and excessive packaging that make us both Grumpies to name but a few.........and we are only in our forties!!!

Compo

[lizzie]

Blimey, you and Mrs Comp are worried at being grumps and only in your forties.

I'm 38

I now feel very frightend. Think i'll go and curl up in a corner, and rock gently back and forth. I have a feeling that i'm only just touching on the Grumpy side of my personality.

Think i'll lock myself up now to protect the innocent. But, then again...............

[oldherbaceous]

All i can say to that Lizzie, is, heavens help us.

[Chantal]

Quite by accident I just came across this website
http://www.grumpyoldgifts.co.uk/ their best sellers are hot water battles and glasses repair kits!

Dear Chantal, i've just been looking on that site for U2 by U2 for Lizzies Christmas present, but they haven't got it, do you know of another site for an even grumpier women, it might be on there.

Reminds me of one of Billy Connolley's bits, where he talks about radio and how he listens to Radio 4 (?) in the morning and his radio is this hairy thing in the corner, on account of it being covered in museli from him being surprised by statements made or trying to disagree with the presenter, while eating his breakfast.

Wonder what Lizzies radio looks like?

Is the varnish on OH's radiogram perhaps a little obscured?

Best wishes, , a confirmed, paid-up, full time, Grumpy Old Peter.

[Tigger]

You would have loved it Peter. Not least because there were no more than a dozen men amongst hundreds, if not thousands of women.

My colleagues were in fits, saying - that's you! Specially about litter, parties, shopping, Lakeland, bags, clothes, .............

Can't imagine what they were thinking about.

[peter]

Not so sure of that Tigg's.

Most scared I've ever been was when aged 18 I acted as roadie to our lower sixth pop-group when they went to a regional display of talent.

Trouble was it was staged at the loacl Girls Convent School!

We six poor males were shepharded through the premises by the games mistress, who told us to stick together and not lag behind.

All was quiet, till we were spotted.

The one and only time in my life I have had over a hundred young women hanging out of windows yelling "whwooarr" and "get em off" in my direction.


Aaah, happy days.
