message for Joseph.

Happy Birthday in advance Our Joseph,for Mon. 16th Oct. as we are away for a few days. Don't do what I did on MY birthday last week.....broke my arm! Have a lovely day. x.

Oh thank you so much Our Irene. Sorry to hear about the arm, bad luck kidder. My family always seem to go out of their way to make it a good day for me, my grandchildren make the day even more special, Once again a big thanks.

PS. The 16th is on Sunday.

OH I see, angling for early presents now is it!

All the best, Codger.

I deemed it an appropriate stratagem in the 'present' financial climate, along with the old adage "If you don't beg you get nowt".

Folk in their 50's are not codgers, you cheeky pup!

16th on Sunday....So it is. Should have been going to Pickering War Weekend tomorrow, but our daughter-in-law's mum died last week and Jamie is going down tonight for the funeral, which is tomorrow, so we have to mind children, so can only go to Pickering Friday. I'll hopefully be wearing my 40s get-up, but with my arm in a sling I'll be the Walking Wounded! Poor Beccy should have started her new job on the day her mum died, but had to dash off to London. What a rotten couple of weeks we've had......no wonder I don't know what day it is!

Sounds like you have been in the wars good and proper, Our Irene. The children will always bring a smile in such sad times, My condolences to Beccy and family.

Thanks, Our Joseph. I won't feel as "glam" as on the photo-a-day pic, what with my black eye and purple knee, but will "make-do-and-mend" the best I can!

Happy Birthday Joseph from one lovely Libran to another

Condolences to family Irene...and I hope your arm soon gets better.

Thanks momac. You just take your health and strength for granted until something like this happens. Happy birthday sydneylass; mine was on the 6th, so you, me and Our Joseph are all Librans together.....charming and artistic!

Erontquay, thank you and birthday wishes to you too.

Happy Birthday Joseph 1 - have a great day

Shares it with Oscar Wilde.

Oscar Wilde - was only thinking about him today as I drove past Reading Jail

I always think of 'Birmingham Jail' (sung in Stir Crazy). When I think of Oscar's ballad.

Shares it with Oscar Wilde. Back once again with the innuendo's.

Reading

Birmingham

Pack it in you two! I have shared nothing with Oscar, although I was once told my face was like ivory and rose leaves.

"Pack it in you two! I have shared nothing with Oscar"


Oh aye

Spoiled a good 'play wot I wrote' yon mon did. That's why I remember.

The Mester, not Oscar.

See!

No wonder...etc..


Premature congratulations, Mester.

Nice to see you kept it quiet this year.

Reading through that lot; I hope all is well with Hughes The Booze.

(Same birthday)

And Jo Anne's dog.

Early Birthday wishes Joseph..

Hope you know its gonna be on again on the 16th..

Any news on the surprise party?

Shhhhhh...

Custard. Don't worry.

He can't read.

Happy Birthday, Joseph. And many happy returns of the day.

(Our Labrador shares the same birthday - she's four today.)

Sorry.

She.

Thank you all.

Happy birthday joseph .

Ain't I the popular one! Thank you Ann.

There was cake, Gwim, but some soft buggger nicked the bag it came in.

Expect complaints.

There will be!

I know.

I can almost feeel the seething as I type.

Just glad Gwim took over the shop floor, let him take the flak!

*Shakes fist at bag theft*

Anyway, on with the show

Seems he's got a few fans.

Are they all on WW?

Many happy returns, Joseph...

Yes, they are. Every man jack of them. The normal looking ones are from the South side of town.

So they've not left on the coche?

No, they don't like to winj.

They look like a happy bunch.

Why did Rose leave?

Who is Rose, Hieronymous?

I have eye deer, jo anne, but Joseph said she left. 12th Oct 22:56.

That's the time/date of the post, not when she left. Although it may have been when she left as well. How would I know?

All I know is she left.

I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition!!

The Picture of Dorian Gray

"A portrait like this would set you far above all the young men in England, and ... and this young Adonis, who looks as if he was made of ivory and rose leaves."

Do I need to explain everything?

My Mrs has just seen Gwims video "Happy Birthday Joseph" and is trying very hard not to wet herself! No rude comments please.

Thank you all.

Apparently Rose has left again. I still don't know why. In fact, I didn't know she'd returned.

She seems to be making a habit of this.

Dorian Gray. (That video is very cheering.)

Hieronymous - Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose! (Gertrude Stein, 1935)

So is it Rose who's left? Or is it Gertrude? Or is it Emily?

And when did they return? And why? And why did they leave?

What did Adonis or Joseph or whoever it was do to upset her/them?

And why is there a triumvirate? And, seemingly, a duo?

Why is the sky blue?

I am going for a lie down in a darkened room. Please excuse me.

We'll excuse you, this once, Hieronymous.

It's unfortunate you find this a thorny issue, but it is! It all stems from a simple misnomer, where Rose supplanted rose. Was there some plot involved? Should we have been guarding the rose in the rose garden?

Will it help if I second this:

Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.

For a third time even (or should that be odd?):

Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.


Three Rose Leaves

Following the rhetoric law of thricefold repetition to emphasize a point.

Rose is not a Rose, not a Rose, not a Rose.

Not one mention of Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald.
