But each to their and all that (isn't that the overriding ethos of the blog!) <br /><br />@PB. That pub meet-up sounds nice. I'm not sure you want to make it "the Pints are on Ponyboy Night" though... it could cost you some serious cash! ;-)The Gombeen Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024662128072120489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829381583204750928.post-79261555869248228942013-12-27T20:32:41.788+00:002013-12-27T20:32:41.788+00:00@Ella - your's will all be doubles on the big ...@Ella - your's will all be doubles on the big night out at Ryans. now put me back on that xmas mailing list ha hapintboynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829381583204750928.post-19402755986688235262013-12-27T18:50:19.954+00:002013-12-27T18:50:19.954+00:00@PB, I'm gutted.... having a large one here, t...@PB, I'm gutted.... having a large one here, to get over the trauma of being criticized and in such a public manner I might add..<br /><br />@GM - I know that Bad Manners song is not their finest, but at least it sounds happy and cheerful and I could imagine jumping around to it.

It makes me want to grab every fake santa beard off and add them to the bonfire. Sadly it's a big bonfire. Anyway Ella - i love your posts, all of them except this one but you and Dakota and Nenad and Thomas and a few others are still on my list of invitees to Ryans of Parkgate street for the 'Pints are on Ponyboy Night' when i make it to ireland. We'll have a ball and we'll try not to make too much of a fuss of GM, you know - we don't want him getting a big head or anything just because he focussed all our attentions on exactly what those issues were that had us hopping mad over the year but not knowing what the label said.<br />ponyboyponyboynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5829381583204750928.post-61751296471677339472013-12-26T17:20:02.784+00:002013-12-26T17:20:02.784+00:00Hi GM, merry christmas and all that - that's r...Hi GM, merry christmas and all that - that's right vary your alcohol - I'm sure that each different type has it's own nutritional benefit!!<br /><br />that christmas song is awful.<br /><br />perhaps you might like Bad Manners - It's Christmas Time Again<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqEX9PtPupQ<br />Ellanoreply@blogger.com
