Ash Wednesday tomorrow.

I wont would u

I wont would u

I take gin and tonics my liege.

As for the bed time drink- hot chocolate with a whiskey!

Irish of course. x

I thought you'd be out like a light. didn't you take your Horlicks with a large dash of rum before going to bed ?

I am still awake lol

Got my eyes on you two lol

Bliss....

Amazingly peaceful and serene when they go to sleep. Isn't it ?

And then all was quiet

Night darling xxxxxxxxx

Or was it the right? Could have been the left? Or was it the right?

Hmmmmmmmmm, let me think about that one.......it's my Alf Miners, I forget lol

I know sweety and I was sat on the deaf side x

rofl.

True story this Brit:

Tinkers and I were riding the a train through Lancashire when Tinkers noticed some cows.

"What a cute bunch of cows!" she remarked.

"Not a bunch, herd", said I.

"Heard of what?"

"Herd of cows."

"Of course I've heard of cows."

"No, a cow herd."

"What do I care what a cow heard. I have no secrets to keep from a cow!"

I took her under my wing and she is doing better now:-/

The wife decided she wanted to take a bath in milk to freshen up her skin and asked me to pick up 12 gallons.

I asked, "Pasteurized?"

She said, "No. Just up to my tits. I can splash it on my face."

Ash Wednesday......

It would be simply ghastly if he chose Laban instead of semi-skimmed ;-)

rofl...............there should be one on every corner!

I'm really happy. i just heard that the Four Seasons in Doha has a swimming pool, hot tub and even a spar. At least I'll be able to stock up on some milk or tea bags.

MBT = Milk before tea

TBM = Tea before milk

It's the law in some places! Nowt like a bit off th'old crumpet with thy tea lad :-)

Now where did my whippet go?

Timebandit has been known to prefer a bit of crumpet also..

I am MBT lol x

Be careful when choosing the pot though...good sturdy base, firm handle, nice spout and does not loose heat too quickly and that does not drip when poured. Can’t stand the mess ;-/

One of my guilty pleasures is a good toasted firm crumpet. Dripping with butter; you can't knock it!

Perhaps TB just needs to re think how he fills the kettle, boils it and pours it.

I mean it's not rocket science is it ;-)

You probably know that there are two distinct groups o tea drinkers..

TBM and

MBT

Which are you ?

Well, depending on the size of your pot; you should be able to get a couple of drinks out of it. It's just a case of keeping it warm, not letting it get too stewed and remembering the tea cosy :-/

I have just got to have a cup of tea with you two

How are you tea making skills. Can you point us in the direction of some new ideas? x

I always add the milk first as it takes the 'heat' off and that way you can enjoy it far quicker and for longer.

Of course I do enjoy dunking a hob knob with it:-/

Tea.. really?

As you know us girls love our tea and it is becoming very frustrating that the quality has diminished.

You also have to be careful which bags you use too. Some can get awfully soggy early on and do not produce a pleasant experience when taking tea.

I suggest warming the pot first, giving it a swish round and always add the milk before pouring.

Oh Tinkers had many an incident with the spout. A girl can't be too careful you know :-)

It's all down to the superiority of your tea pot though.

Some leak when pouring and some you really have to tilt to get them to pour directly into the cup.

I also like mine to have a good sturdy handle.

All the good free for all buffets are on a Friday ;-)

Obviously I am not eating meat but I hear the sea food sections at some buffets are varied and tasty.

I look forward to every Friday

ah!... Brit that didnt cross my mind...

Perhaps its because friday is fish day ...

"My husband is looking forward to Good Friday"

cabbage Why? Is he going to get crucified?... nailed?... :(

Holding out ones pinkie whilst sipping from a cup is accepted :-/

My husband is looking forward to Good Friday :-)

Brit...lol

No sex is allowed on Dubai beach thats why they named it the Palm Beach Dubai...

My wife has given up sex for lent. I've now realised the real meaning of palm sunday :O)

"Do I need to hold my pinkie out while I sip.."

Horrified Blank Stare

The problem with drinking out of the spout - it makes a mess, just pours out everywhere and sometimes the spout has a funny end bit and difficult to use.

I think they should be given delicate bone china tea cups and saucers lol

More importantly, where were you holidaying at? I have been pretty much in Doha, will be travelling out soon though ;-)

Snessy if i'm not mistaken you have an Ipad too right? USE IT!

Colt, where have you been? I've missed you too :-)

I'm good Jervis, just had a holiday so all tanned up :-)...I got your email and will respond when I have my laptop, using iPhone and it takes ages to type.

I have missed you, how have you been pretty package? ;-)

BTW, whats not good choice big butts, or big jugs? :-P

TB and colt are you two complimenting each other now?

Lol TB.. Was it a close up shot?

Colty... its always better to drink from bigger cups ;)

You've got no choice, Colt :-P

I guessed that the moment you said two big jugs TB. YOu cant fool King Kat when it comes to jugs!

I like big hearts

I like big butts and I cannot lie.... :-P

Well I was going to include a photo I had taken of a roundabout in Al Khor with two big jugs on it. But Flickr is blocked in my office, and I can't get the link to it :( Spoiled the moment realy

Colt what is there that you dont love...big jugs and ladyboyz all the same to you :p

Who's talking about big jugs? I love 'em too :-P

I swear I have not smoked! Jack come smell my breath :P I'm going to buy those damn nicotine gums on my way back home.

Smoke you cheated... I bet you had your fill... of smoke on that quick ride!

Hai Ram...no bloody sharam only these ladies have. I just went out for a nice short drive and I think i'm ok for now...coffee time again...and my cups are small :( I agree with jervis :P

I took a photo of a pair of huge jugs just the other day

I think they need an urn :-) lol

They want the cup to runneth over :P

Mucho depend on Cup Size

Yanni... if the cup is small then less coffee you drank...

So tell coffeeboy to make coffee in bigger jugs...

Smoke whats the cup size? ;)

i've already have 4 cups!

My head is actually spinning..kinda getting the feeling i'm drunk. Everything looks so different!

I'll take the nicotine and the steak! Must find someone who is smoking...have very important matters to discuss with anyone who is smoking...

We can be ex tap dancers together as we are both washed up and wiped out lol

I used to do tap dancing. Had to give it up because i kept falling into the sink.. :O(

Nicotineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! I must have Nicotineeeeeeeeeeeee!

I am giving up pole dancing and chocolate :-)

Anybody for a pancake? x

u got serious ... cool down... lol...:))

Get a room will ya... :-P Smokie, take your camera along ;-))

Hmmm I wonder if they had GPS back in the days, would we need to have fasted for this long?

The duration of the season of Lent is based on the ancient church custom of requiring catechumens to undergo a forty-day period of doctrinal instruction and fasting before being baptized on the evening before Easter. This probationary period was called the quarantine (from the Latin word for forty). The number forty occurs frequently in both testaments of the Bible. It signifies the time that is required for discipline, testing, and separation prior to achieving a goal or new beginning. For example, we read in the Old Testament that it rained forty days and nights during the Great Flood (Genesis 7:12), Moses communed with God on Mount Sinai for forty days before receiving the Ten Commandments (Exodus 24:18), the people of Israel were forced to wander in the wilderness for forty years (Numbers 14:33-34), Elijah journeyed for forty days before he reached Mount Horeb and had a vision of God (1 Kings 19:8-9), and the inhabitants of Nineveh fasted and repented for forty days in response to the preaching of Jonah (Jonah 3:4-5). The outstanding instances of the number forty in the New Testament are the account of Christ's ordeal in the desert fasting, praying, and being tempted by the devil (Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13; and Luke 4:1-13) and His various appearances to the apostles and others between His resurrection and ascension during which He strengthened their faith and prepared them for the coming of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:3).

I am going non-veg for 41 days :-P

I will abstain from bad driving during this period. :D
