Message Left on the Answerphone this afternoon
This is a transcription in it's entirety
"I have a little something ready for you!" rasped the breathless voice.......".I will be in alllllllll day!...pop round if you're free!!!!"
That was it!
A secret admirer...organising a bit of rural extramarital rumpy pumpy perhaps?
Naw....... Auntie Glad has just baked me a load of mince pies!
Marvellous !!
ReplyDeleteLove Auntie Glad...sure envy you your mince pies!

I think you are the apple of her eye John-the-Dogs.
ReplyDelete{Drool} over the mince pies, lucky you !

You watch yourself, John, these little old ladies lure you in with baked goods. Before you know it, though, one of them sits on your lap complaining about a bit of "heart flutter".
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, of course, I know that she is a gem.
Lucky you!!!!! Mince pies on the side!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't I get calls like that instead of call centres from India?
ReplyDeleteThe only phone calls I get is my daughter when she wants something..
ReplyDeleteSP GIVE ME YOUR NUMBER AND I'll get her to ring you x
ReplyDeleteIt was me John. Too late now, the NHS Viagra has worn off.
ReplyDeleteI would have called you but I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to disguise my maaaaa.
ReplyDeleteA Happy Christmas to you too, you delightful man! xoxoxo
Aw, bless! xx
ReplyDeleteI was just about to take credit for that message until you mentioned Auntie Glad.
ReplyDeletem.
You are spoilt!
ReplyDeleteAuntie Glad is so good to you! I just think she is the cutest thing ever! I think most of your readers are envious of all the wonder baked goods and the sweet nature of her! You should tell her she is quite popular on your blog! I bet she would just grin! :O)
ReplyDelete'Rumpy pumpy!?' I love this! Will spread this one around Nova Scotia for sure!
ReplyDeleteMince pies....you are one lucky fella!
When I'm out for a bit of rumpy pumpy, Aunt Glad is always the pseudonym I use.
ReplyDeleteI want mince pie!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you, John.
the comments are as funny as your original post!!!

It's not Christmas without my mum's mince cookies (biscuts). I want an Auntie Glad!
ReplyDeleteRumpy Pumpy! Ha!
I seldom leave my name - everyone I know has caller ID :-)
ReplyDeleteMince pies, how nice of her!
Wish we had an Auntie Glad!
ReplyDeleteThat is just cute!
ReplyDeleteSo you trust Aunt Gladys, be careful young man, she might have unexpected pleasures on her mind. She might say mince pies, but...
ReplyDeleteA Mrs Trellis of North Wales, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteLOL...how cute. Aunty Glad sounds like such a sweet heart...oh mince pies!!! Haven't had those since I was a child...yummy. :)
ReplyDeleteHi John-- I've been absolutely swamped this month but just wanted to pop by and say hi and catch up on your posts. I think about you just about every day and always send warm, fluffy thoughts to your field denizens to help with the cold.
ReplyDeleteWe have tickets to see War Horse in the theater in June and are delighted we get a preview with the movie on Christmas!
But first Sherlock Holmes of course...thanks for the review. I'll be watching all atwitter for Moriarty now!

Whatever became of the good old obscene phone call and the heavy breather?
ReplyDeleteThere was something wonderful about the way you could pick up the receiver, listen to the Strowger switchgear connecting you by a strand of copper to some unsuspecting household and then whisper furtively about underwear and asthma.
Did I just type that out loud? Bugger! Forget I said that, please. Nothing was ever proven.
Hope you replied kindly..
ReplyDelete1471 and all that.
There should be a law against forcing lovely little old ladies to bake for you. Poor Auntie Glad lolx
ReplyDeleteShouldn't that be 'mincing' pies John?
I may not always comment, but never miss one of your posts, always amusing, sometimes sad but not to be missed.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Christmas and look forward to the future posts.

And a very Happy Christmas to you and yours, darling man!
ReplyDeleteAt least you get messages on your answerphone. All I ever get is short silences and beeps! Enjoy your mince pies.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the message was for you. Imagine it being for someone else, with them waiting all afternoon for their invitation to be answered.
ReplyDeleteTalk about a twist ending!
ReplyDeleteBritish mince pies - does Auntie Glad use sweet meats in her pies or are they like the mince meat pies that I know of hear in the US that have lots of nuts and dried fruits and such in them?
ReplyDeleteCurious minds across the pond want to know! grin
Happy Christmas!
Cappy
