Ask Ringo.

Ringo. Has anyone ever actually jumped out of a frying-pan into a fire? I have heard the expression but I can't believe that it's ever happened. Why would anyone be in a frying-pan in the first place?

No , obviously not. For all the don't knows it is an expression that means by solving one problem you then land yourself with another problem that is worse.

Re: Ask Ringo.

Excellent, CN now has a gang. For those that dont know, a gang is a collective rgoup of 5 or more people. In CNs gang there is now CN & MP, no one else, but they meet the criteria of more than 5 so its sorted!

So if I wanted to go out and paint the town red, what would that mean?

Re: Ask Ringo.

All you'd need was yourself, the rest of your gang and some blue paint.

Why is it always me who has to keep this forum going?

Ronnie has gone AWOL again. He has very little to say anyway.

MP has been scared off by TB.

TB only talks about cheese and and onion.

VI is now a double amputee and so can't type.

Ringo is probably asleep.

Renovator is clinically brain-dead.

Think thinks that silence is golden.

Re: Ask Ringo.

I guess it must be you that always has to keep the forum going as you're the one thats best at talking to yourself CN.

Im guessing Ronnie still has a hangover after the Crawley Vs Redhill game, Ringo is probably still busy rubbing the result in on the redhill forum, VI is learning to shuffle cards with his feet after losing both his arms, Think is now far too busy to come on here after he found a new marketing channel, Renovator is busy doing up someones house with that bloke with long hair (not cliff). I've been down the C&O Club for the past 2 weeks taking advantage of their easter offer. Basically for £3 you get a giant hollowed out block of cheese filled with mini pickled onions. Also includes an egg cup... weird.

Renovator should put a quote in to renovate the C&O club. Lots of work there removing the hardboard panelling and replacing with brick walls. Plus he would be fed whilst he was there. Bonus.

Have to tell him to watch out for the asbestos.

Terry I left the gherkins behind last time. The old woman behind the bar said she could use them as high value chips when she played crib. Apparently they'd started to go brown which gives them more flavour?

When did the C&O club upgrade to gherkins? I've never seen any on the buffet tray. That's not fair if they're keeping them for special occasions.

Re: Ask Ringo.

Yeah, they save them for special occasions when the fairies come to town, then we have a cross between a cheese & onion fest mixed with a twiglet and gherkin bonanza!

When Julio & Justine turn up they get cheddar and onion and its not even mature cheddar, more likely to be cheese spread!

Well of course we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of shoebox at 12 o'clock at night and lick road clean wit' tongues. We'd eat a handful of cold gravel, work 26 hours a day at mill for sixpence every 4 years, and when we got home, our dad would kill us and dance on our graves singing hallelujah.

Re: Ask Ringo.

it is well known that silence, is in fact, more of an aubergine colour.....but it didn't fit in with the song. This can be easily proved next time you are in a restaurant and ask for the aubergine consomme, you will be able to hear a pin drop.

Well, of course, we had it tough. We used to 'ave to get up out of shoebox at twelve o'clock at night and lick road clean wit' tongue. We had two bits of cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at mill for sixpence every four years, and when we got home our Dad would slice us in two wit' bread knife.

(obviously you went for the last one first and ruined a potentially great thread, one of the best comedy sketches of all time! So I am working backwards)

We lived for 3 months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We got woke up every morning by having a load of rotten fish dumped all over us! House?

When I say house, it was only a hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin. It was a house to us.
