Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Of Scribbles will always be here Young Robert. It needs a story. I must write one.I need to think on that.
Mmm
When I was a naughty very young teen.
My friend lived with her Grandparents.
Her Stepfather was wicked to her.
Anyway her Grandparents had a Christmas cupboard under the stairs, they would buy bottles of booze ready for celebrating.
We used to steal some, then top the bottle up with water. They never ever knew.
I hated spirit then! Not keen now.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
I’ve told this true story before but seeing that it’s wine day for you Sweetie it’s appropriate and you may not have read it before.I have always loved Tommy Coopers silly wit and especially a sketch of his I saw many years ago.
He is in a posh restaurant and the waiter want’s to close up so he takes Tommy’s bottle of wine away from him, Tommy loses his rag and says “Give me my wine, you swine!”
I loved that line and was dying to try it out, I got the opportunity one night when I had to meet Phyllis and two of her sisters in a swanky wine place in town, when I got there I already had a few on me having been with the lads in the local beforehand, anyway as the night went on a sour faced waiter came to remove an empty wine bottle from our table, I grabbed the bottle back saying in a stern voice “Give me my wine, you swine!” He was not amused.
Phyllis paid the bill before we were promptly shown the door, me insisting it was only a joke all the way out. I was in the doghouse for a week over that one. Happy wine day Sweetie.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
ah the dear Tommy C - my mother could never understand his humor as dad and I rolled around the floor in fits!!he tells the story of standing on guard duty at night when he was in the army - his eyes drooped and he couldn't open them easily but remained standing - he then heard the heavy beat of the sergeant boots on the gravel pathway and when he drew opposite cooper - tommy opened his eyes in fright as simple said "Amen" - [he had of course been praying!]
