Re: Sledging and snowballs

[Weedon]

I am a committee member in an ex-pat organisation here in France. Last night the chair-women took me to one side saying that other members have complained that I often behave in a juvenile manner and frequently make childish comments and that at my age (I am 68) I should act in a more mature manner. Furthermore she said we have to discuss this with the other members.

 

I told her that I was quite willing to discuss this but not until after the winter sledging and snowball fight season has passed.

[Pierre ZFP]

Quite right too!!

Who  is it on this forum with the tag line 'Growing old is mandaory, growing up is optional'

I think you should open your hands, palms up.  Then place your thumbs on your temples still with your hands open palms towards them.  Wiggle your fingers whilst putting your tong half out of your lips and exhaling hard.

Sodding childish because you still have a sense of humour?  Cheeky bastards (hope my language doesn't offend)!

Ps.  I find it works better if you have a lot of spit in your mouth at the time and are standing close to the person in question too.[:D]

You have a right harridan in the chair by the sound of it ... I might have checked her knowledge of the phonetic alphabet ...starting with foxtrot oscar

I think they're just jealous, Weedon - maybe they grew up too early!

I sometimes think that one day I might grow up too, but not just yet - I think 80 might be a good age to consider it!  [:)]

Sounds a bit of an ice maiden to me, nothing better than a snowball, this weather, perhaps you could give her one to loosen her up and get her out on the piste . . .

You hadn't already had a few snowballs and seeing double were you? [:D]

I hope you take Mole along to the committee meetings.

[Weedon]

Mole went off looking for worms but all he found was a Beatle.

Here he is.... John Lemon [:-))]

Doh!! And I was going to write chair-person, then just chair, then I decided on....etc.

[Christine Animal]

That looks more to me like a childish sixty-eight year old who has had too much snow!

Have fun Weedon and get out of that expat organisation of miserable old complainers.   [:D]

Well a gentleman wouldn't want to overwhelm an unsuspecting Chairwoman, even if she was too straitlaced for her own good.
however for a connoisseusse one would naturally handshake a cocktail;[:)]  David Embury, in 1948, specified a Snowball as whisky, sugar, lemon juice, egg and ginger ale. (no accurate measures specified[Www]) My preference perhaps would be the ultimate here - http://savoycocktails.appspot.com/show?cocktail=ag5zYXZveWNvY2t0YWlsc3IPCxIIQ29ja3RhaWwYoA4M; nb the comment! Wouldn't take so many of these snowballs to send Madam down the slippery slope!
