That's weird, thought I sent a thank you message on this yesterday!

Big 'THANKS' to Civeng, maser man, JillNDave, and  who graciously volunteer for this removal and helped hubste get the Joanna.  It got here nicely on Friday and the guys were then fattened up with a feeding in reward of efforts. I still owe Civeng a meal as he couldn't stay.

Thanks also to Musicman who checked out a piano tuner for me.

Am very rusty playing as it's been far too long. Have booked a tutor for Thurs to get me back to grade 8 so wish me luck! Only then will the soirée evenings begin

No problem happy to help and lunch was good

You forgot bluboy, the only injury from the day

Well, am tinkering away on the ivories but the tuning is weird, so will expect much more when I secure a piano tuner?

So that awful sound wasn't your rusty fingers fault when you couldn't stop yourself from the keyboard.

Mind you, I have warned you about my singing but then again after that remark I'll be off the singalong list.

Hey Pinky thanks for noticing i missed bluboy - Blumartin, how could I have missed you out   and yes, an injury at that!   you were all my knights in shining armour (well shining heads from the sweat)

Less of the Pinky.

I was going to make another suggestion for a nickname for Maserman after his confession to wearing lipstick.
Scarlet wasn't it?
I could be mistaken though.

Ah YES!  I had forgotton about that - let me see, so far we have the Scarlet, pinky ......  come on MM2, what other amunition can we gleen from you   You'll never live this stuff down

That might be his plan - to keep him the centre of attention.

Feeding us little 'confessions'.

It was not a confession merely stating a fact which was in keeping with the party I attended.

Really, you are all a bunch of fish wifes

Ok, Maserman, we believe you.

Tissue for your issue Scarlet! Hugzzz I still like you.

Well, if you want the true definition of this, here you are:
A fishwife or fish fag is a woman who sells fish. Such women were notoriously loud and foul-mouthed as in the expression, To swear like a fishwife. One reason for their outspokenness is that their wares were highly perishable and so lost value if not sold quickly.
Pinky, can't believe you related me to this, my heart is broken now

Of course I do, I am playing with you my friend   Checking out the definition was fun though, makes me chuckle to see how sayings are passed down through cultures and times eh!

I've seen fish wives back in Sri Lanka. Oh My God the rhetoric they spit out is venomous.....
