Guest Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 is it gone then, Graham? - we're all dying to know.... (or did you just take it for a drive? ) Phil (I've had my lunch now...) We drove round some country lanes listening to the Boomtown Rats and harmonising on "It's a rat trap, you've been caaaaaaauuugght!". Once I'd let it go, it glanced back towards my 12 year old mondeo and said "Thanks for the ride - nice car mate". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Is this one of your eBay prints?! I couldn't possibly say, Graham - for that would be to advertise my ebay prints business where I sell lovely prints - ready-mounted for framing and a perfect gift for anyone... if I did that it'd probably break the advertising rules of the site because I'd be advertising a wonderful opportunity for people to buy my keenly-priced prints. I couldn't possibly say whether that particular newspaper clipping is in my fabulous collection of charming prints for sale. if you - or anyone else wanted to check that out - you'd be well advised to look down there in my sig. and click the blue link... (thankyou!) Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard T Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 How's the house sale going Richard Slowly Mel. We've sent a message to the buyers via the estate agent that they need to get their fingers out and show some signs that they're taking this seriously. I'll try to update the thread later. Leaving the office now. Richard T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieP Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Graham, you should have put some kind of distinguishing mark on Ratty, so that you know the one you catch tomorrow isn't the same one back from his holidays...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 He is a funny man! Phil, you should give up vicaring (is that a word?) and go into stand-up comedy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Are we sure he's not already a stand up comedian in a dog collar and it's all just an act ? Afterall he is frequently asked one particular question... Phil, Are you SURE you're a Vicar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbour is a Canon and he's a funny man too. I think they're taught comedy (sub-heading "how to amuse a congregation") at "vicar college".

Cate in NZ Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I've been busy all day and only just logged on- I've now read several pages of ratty stuff, and am laughing so much that I'm practically crying. I'm very sorry about your rat dilemma Graham, great news that Ratty has been caught and safely disposed of- he sounded like a nasty piece of ratty work . I do hope that he was the one and only, but it sounds as if you might have left his missus now as a single parent family with a load of delinquent (b)rats Keep setting that trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 ..... I think they're taught comedy (sub-heading "how to amuse a congregation") at "vicar college". Stop, please!! I'm crying with laughter at the thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
