Lovely Michael I have been waiting outside in the rain for 20 minutes with my contribution to the Jacobs Join. I have brought my biggest golf umbrella ever, alongside two bottles of Rose wine and a bottle of Baileys plus Chicken wings, Chocolate gateaux and some garlic bread. Hopefully someone has brought some heathy options as my Sainsburys was shut. Where shall I put the drinks ?
I'll show you where the drinks table is, coincidentally it's the table next to mine 😊

Thank you Lezzers, sounds about right. Fortunately for you I am no competition for the gin!
Oh that's good to hear but I'll definitely fight for a glass of your Bailey's 😋😋😋
Did someone mention gin?
Oh no! Lezzers already has double posting!
No, I don't believe they did 🤥🤥🤥
I've only just started, so I'm not tiddly yet, and I definitely heard the word "gin"...
No, I believe it was the word 'bin' that you heard. As in someone said where is the bin for the empties 😊🤥
Are you sure? Everyone knows the bin is over in that corner... or is that andytheextransporter slumped down over there?
He's bring a tanker of gin!
Is he? Well, we all know who's going to drink most of that, don't we? Can't take Lezzers anywhere!
G & T is my favourite drink. All the more for me. 😊
It's a miserable mizzle here Michael so here I am. I brought a barrel of Coronation Ale as drunk by King Charles himself! :rofl:
No worries about the weather, someone in town was selling off the remainder of the Coronation blow up plastic crown rain bonnets in town this morning so I bought them all. They are in the black bin liner beside me but you will have to blow them up yourselves. Such a good idea!
Could I try a drop of that ale please?
See beta70' reply above, that's where I heard the word bin mentioned 😊🤥 phew 😅
OK, I'll let you off. But I'm sure "gin" was mentioned about 5 minutes before Beta's commenet... 
Noooo, I think your watch must be slow. Wouldn't be a smart watch would it, they're notoriously inaccurate 😊 now I'm just gonna sample a bit of food, ooer my legs don't seem to be working properly at the moment 🍸🍹
Gosh this all sounds very delicious already! I’ve brought a large salad, potato salad, chips and dips, some honey glazed white and red onion, mixers for cocktails and rolls for burgers and hot dogs 😋🤤
Brilliant, something healthy at last, I will have a large portion of that salad please.
I’m going to tuck into a burger with some of my red onions and I’ll throw in some halloumi while at it I think!
What are you having Michael, I’m about to go and get a drink; can I get anyone else one whilst I’m up?
Afternoon All! I've bought some strange looking gin from M&S (so it must be ok). Obviously I'll just stick to the fruit juice...
Those burgers look good, Michael. Could I have one with bacon and fried egg, please. And a side order of halloumi. I did have a cake that I was going to bring. But I ate virtually all of it yesterday. Sorry.
It's a bit chilly out here, isn't it?
You shouldn't be chilly. We are in the Cloud so the weather is whatever you want it to be!
Has anyone tried that new alcohol free gin yet?
Did anyone go to London to watch the Coronation? I watched it on tv and several times after on the news.
I'm in London. I avoided the centre like the plague - can't stand crowds! Watched the service on telly, then went to visit my old mum in her nursing home where they were having a party!
That's lovely for them all. I was in London for Queen Elizabeth's Coronation but struggled to see much from my pram !
Did you bring your book with you?
Are you here yet, Andy, or are you just quietly guzzling your way down the barrel of Coronation Ale?
I've brought a coronation quiche, but our broad beans aren't ready yet, so I used baked beans.
To be honest, that sounds better than the original recipe. I'll try some, please!
I hope they were the low salt and sugar ones, or you will have messed up the menu!
They are Aldi's economy ones, but I washed some of the sauce off.
You washed a quiche? Hope you didn't tumble dry it!
I used the quiche rinse and dry prog. (I think that's what it said.)
Ah that should be ok then. Love to try some please.
Does it have cheese in it? Even in the virtual world I can't do cheese 😨😱 sadly
It has got our home-made Cheshire and mozzarella, I'm afraid.
Well I don't doubt it tastes absolutely delicious but I'll have another gin instead 🍸 hope that's ok 😉

Im late as usual so bringing Pimms, scones, strawbs & cream as thought the bbq might be out by now 🤦🏽♀️
No you're not too late, come & sit 🪑 with me, I'll help you with the goodies 🍽️ now where shall we put the strawbs & cream 😉🥄
Another late comer sorry but I have Drink
Sorry I'm late. Got the time zones mixed up. Got some fish to go on the barby. That Coronation ale looks as good as any pint of old and filthy I've seen in a long while.
It's by Royal Appointment don't you know! Charlie Ale is an imposter!
I have Pussers Rum select aged 151 Alc/ Vol 75.5 so not to be drunk neat !!! So lets splice the Mainbrace God Save the King
Blimey, I'll have a drop of that please. Mummasoap brought some mixers for just this opportunity!
God save the King!
I once bought some brandy (I think it was brandy, I bought it when I was on holiday & didn't understand the label!) It was soooo potent that even my friends, who were hardened drinkers at the time, refused to try it, even sipping it took your head off!! I finally managed to palm it off to someone who rarely drunk, he thought it was really nice 😳😳
Everything in moderation ( including moderation)
Oh, I like that very much. We really do need to moderate the moderation 😳 🤣
Sounds like Pussers Gun Powder Proof Rum. I didn't think anything like that would Faze yourself when it comes to drink lol
That's what I thought but I was very happy to accept defeat with the bottle 🍾 of whatever it was. It seriously needed to come with a health warning, which it might have done if I'd been able to read the label 🤣 one thing is for sure, I've never tasted anything like that before & I've had years of experience 🤣
My Granny used to give me something called India Brandy whenever I was ill as a young child. She swore by it, but I hated it. They always said I slept really well at her house!
Sounds like a BP measurement.
God I must be slow today only just got the BP measurement LOL

But you are driving the gin tanker! Lezzers is getting thirsty! 🚎
Just call the AA and they will help you get here
Sorry have to go to take the dog out in case in rains later. There are still about 10 pints of Coronation Ale left!
Bet it's all gone before you get back
Thought I had seen you somewhere before. Were you the singing lorry driver in the Macdonalds tv advert a few months ago who brought his woman a burger home, singing "Baby, Baby I'm coming home"?. She looked really pleased with it. Women have such low expectations these days!
Sorry I'm on the fashionably late side of arrival but dragging this Ermin Cloke up a gravel path ain't easy..........

Come in, pull up that almost empty barrel of Coronation ale and sit down.
in reply to Czech_Mate
Almost empty? that's the story of my life
Czech_Mate in reply to
Well, we're doing our best.
in reply to Czech_Mate
lol I could not ask for more, thank you, but I'm sticking to the gin { Bombay Sapphire }
My chauffeur said he would pick you up, as long as it ain't in a ruff part of town
oh bit far for the car, will send the jet mate

Am I too late?
I have been trying to work out how the mice have been getting into my greenhouse.
They keep nibbling my pea shoots....
in reply to Milkfairy
think there is still a bit of life around..... "nibbled pea shoots" sounds like an up market restaurant !
The mice also dug up and ate all the sunflower seeds I planted too!
Has Lezzers drunk all the gin?
Need to go real food is on the table and I am not brave enough to keep her waiting lol. I will leave the bottle of Rum just enjoy
in reply to Prada47
See you later and ta for the rum, shame you won't be around to see the effects that rum has on me.........
Picky picky picky........but true
glad to here you still have it in you, don't train truckers like that anymore !
well I'm pleased for you, sounds like growing up to me, big boys pants now, well done
Have to go Dog doing the " let me out dance " thanks once again Michael for being the host with the most, see you all in the forum soon ......
I'll be off (b off?) now as well. Thanks to Michael for hosting this. See you all soon I hope. 🙋
sorry I missed it. Lunch guests stayed a while. 😜 Did Lezzers embarrass herself in the gin? Here’s to the next one! x
Many thanks for a lovely afternoon Michael. Time to go home and put the kettle on now.
Sorry, I've been absent, real life got in the way for moment or 2! So, I'm now back!! Anyone still around? Though I guess what I'm really asking is, is there any gin left 🤔
I would buy you a G&T any day. So I will just hand one over enjoy
MichaelJHHeart Star
Anyone ready to give a hand clearing up. There seem to be empty bottles everywhere - mostly gin and rum! 😁
Oh, is that real life calling again 👂just kidding I'll help clear up, I'll just start with the bottles 🍸 😊
I'll come and give you a hand Michael.
So glad I don't have to frisk people for loo rolls anymore before they leave.
MilkfairyHeart Star
There's always one 🙄
Anyone seen the Coronation Ale barrel? I had to leave a £25 deposit.
Perhaps ask Hidden he did say he was on the roll.....
*creeps back in quietly and wanders back out with a bottle of Tankeray...*
Darn... ok, but keep your voice down. I think there are still some scones around somewhere...
Sorry to have missed it, we had out Coronation Street Party today. I'm so rock and roll.... 2 zero percent lagers and some crudites and houmous 😎
Here. There's plenty of jam if you want to avoid the unclotted cream.
MichaelJHHeart Star
Ello, ello, what's going on here then?
You could be reported to the moderators by spies that lurk within these threads!
Turn the jar upside down and slap it like a ketchup bottle.
Well, if you must put it that way...
MilkfairyHeart Star
I kept tripping over all the loo rolls on the ground.Just saying, it's a curiosity......
🧻🧻🧻🧻🧻
I am afraid I am very dull. Carrot, apple, lemon sultana and walnut salad - takes ages to grate. Also gluten free home made apple cake. Union Jacks, galore. Still at least it is all healthy. Hope the bbq is under cover.
ouch!!!
you will need an armoured vehicle to keep them safe - or put them in the safe to keep them secure
