COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

They're all 24 hours from Tulsa

One imagine's there's probably a greasy butcher and maybe a hog's snout in Tulsa.

 

[JoesMum]

I've heard that a Hogs Snout is an apple so are the others too?

We live in the garden of England... Brogdale, home of the national fruit collection, and the East Malling Research station aren't far of us. Kent is apple land ...and cherries... and cob nuts... and plums... and hops (mmm beer!)

My favourite fruit... apples

Shouldn't that be Gene Pipney?

 

[Gillian M]

hope wasnt too hot or stressful?

Not for me, although temperature was 22 degrees Celcius at sunset. Even Oli liked it.

There's no need to oast about it.

Joe's Mum is back with a vengeance.
10 points.
Yep a Greasy Butcher is a sweet red eating apple. Don't know the others.
Getting types of apple is not so easy. seeds that fall to the ground and germinate are usually nothing like the parent tree, so you have to graft them

If I wasn't so tired, I would come up with a suitably b-oastful reply. My brain isn't up to it tonight

Yes, but too late.
ha de ha ha.
you were pipped to the post.

 

[Lyn W]

I may have to have a quick flounce for that!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Good evening Adam, Wifey and Tidgy.

Oh yes it was a nice long walk, which Oli did enjoy thank GOD. Oli seems to be a totally different tort when we're outside.

Thank heavens for that.
Tidgy is happy too and says to say she's proud of him.

How many flounces to the pound of apples?

 

[Lyn W]

Shouldn't that be Gene Pipney?

Gene Pitney apples are often used in baking - which he sang about in 'Somethings gotten hold of my tart'

 

[Gillian M]

Thank heavens for that.

What a couple they'd make. Do you think they could 'live happily ever after?'

All mmmm, indeed.
Thay have a big cherry festival in a village not far away, very beautiful place.
Also unmarried daughters are taken along to be chosen by unmarried men.
No apples, a few plums, some hop fields but a lot of citrus fruit and olives (prickly pear too, for Tidgy).
And dates to the south.

Encore!

No.
Sadly, in reality, Greek tortoises hate each other.
An internet relationship is the best we can hope for.

 

[Lyn W]

Encore!

These puns are very apeeling

My young niece went pony trekking while in Corfu and she was amazed to see what she described as 'hundreds' of torts in the area they went to although that may be an exaggeration. I assume they were Greeks but unfortunately she hadn't taken her camera.

Hmm Glad my dad didn't know about that!
although he did offer me as a raffle prize at the wedding of my last sister to wed!
