Good man Kimbo :thumbsup:

Your gonna love the cold blooded confectionery that'll be available for your delectation on the Grumpy hospitality table, :yes: that's if you can catch 'em !!!!!!!:wicked:

I've got a great story about a man killed by a low flying tortoise for you and an even better one for Len about a Mexican wall of death rider, a tattooed lady, a boa constrictor (that's a snake) and a classically trained ballet dancing vicar's grand daughter. :ohmy: oh yeah!

Dave

Len eats rusty nails with his special K like desparate dan! Anyhow Len on a serious note hows your new business venture going " Hot Drinks By Post" it's  a gap in the market alright!!

 talking of stories Dave. Lisa said she would dress up in a school uniform for me.... Dinner lady wasn't what I had in mind tho. BUGGER!!

No Eccles Cakes for me thanks Dave - I'm on The Atkins' Diet (ffs) :D

Len :thumbsup:

Don't be so daft Lenny forget all this Atkin's diet shite, just remember don't wear anything with horizontal stripes ( a fashion tip  provided courtesy of top QVC customer Louise :thumbsup:).

Wow ! Lisa dressed as a dinner lady, did you get a photo and how much do want for it ? :yes:

Can smell the over cooked cabbage and see the wrinkly surgical stocking as a type !!! :lol:

Didn't think you had met my ex wife Dave. :ohmy:

Eccles Cakes, Chorley Cakes. Dundee Cake. Manchester Tart. I wonder why Widnes hasn't got any delicatessen delights named after it. :g:

She never mentioned she was married, by the way you forgot to mention Kendal  Mint Cake (goddam awful stuff).

Give Bob "The Great British Bake Off Will Never Be Over For Me" Hindsley a call, he might be able to create "The Winsford Waffle" ( all homegrown ingredients sourced  from local dealers naturally). :wicked: 

"Apples, Peaches Pumpkin Pie You Were Young And So Was I" that don't make 'em like that anymore ! :hatsoff2:

With all this talk of inpending landmark birthdays it got me thinking about the future suitability and health and safety requirements of venue's for an aging scene, and by jove i think Grumpy's has unwittingly cracked it !!

The large carpark on a full night still has ample room to park a ambulance with the required 3 metre distance at the rear to load and unload bath chair nighter goers. The low gradient entrance ramp leads to a same level Foyer and dancefloor area. Although any punters requiring a electrical source for mobile dialysis or breathing apparatus may need to provide their own extension leads and adaptor plugs, as most of the Grumpy plug sockets are just for show and the ones that do work are reserved for record dealers (capitlism always prevails :wicked:). Their are no health restrictions imposed on the clientele with the living dead well represented by Robbo and Gaz Kellet :P.

Amongst some of the regular inmates there can be found several respected Soul Source staff the likes of Record Sales Adjutant (head of the soul police) the regal Rod Shard who even on a night off patrols the Grumpy record bar (Orangery if your posh !) sniffing out any counterfeit or bootleg products, resplendent in his long leather jacket generating as much menace as Darth Vader in a Star Wars Trilogy (the force is definitely with him :ohmy:).

Then there's the birthday boy himself, Chalky (Karl) White a respected Soul Source scribe and a man who's phone seems to have an 'APP' for everything (blow jobs apart). The most popular person at the last Grumpy's being mobbed by a large audience all eager to watch the German's lose a penalty shoot out on his tiny hand held screen. Chalky can be found in his customary position next to the window in the record bar with one eye on the vinyl collectors trawling his wares while keeping his other eye on the carpark for any opportunist alloy wheel disc collectors who may venture near his beloved Fod Focus. :lol: and bring up the rear is SS's newest recruit Lenny "Honey, The Snake has just eaten the kids" Dodson.

The clientele covers all ages with senior citizen Ian Cunliffe and Tony Livesey always on the hussle with their retro record and piazza boxes crammed wth crackly goodies, their latest venture is the installation of car sun roofs at £15 a pop, a scenario brought on following a vinyl less car boot visit from whch they returned with a second hand angle grinder and 35 rolls of out of date cling film. International visitors have included native New Yorker Mr Smith who surprisingly to both him and us turned up out of the blue, that'll teach him to buy a sat nav off Donald Trump they're set in one direction only that's out of the USA !If any out of work brickies are reading this then give 'Donny T' a call he's got a big building job on down Mexico way. A few Welshmen have wondered in from time to time often bring Milton Keynes ex -pat Fudge with them (no were not interested in trades), while regular hoards of invading Scots claim they head south in search of musical excellence ? bull shit ! there just checking out house prices for when they escape Sturgeon and the EU's tyranny.:wicked:

The Toilets (soft 2-ply paper rationed on request) clean enough :yes: but not the place to get cornered by 'Winsford Steve' in his new role as ambassador for his home town of Widnes. If if gets you pinned against the urinals you had it. Funnily enough all the eatery's and hostel's he recommends are owned by his family. Recent trip advisor feed back claims one disgruntled punter complained about the lack of heating facilities in his room to which Steve offered as an optional extra to sell him a 60 watt light bulb for a fiver !

Then there's the staff ( a.k.a the non-carers) Dame Joan (Madge) Livesey the boss who makes Thatcher look like a sunday school teacher ! as well the being curator at one of Wigan's leading institutes on Egyptology (theres more than one ?). Her expertise in the field of ancient relic's makes her the most go to person to discuss Robbo and Gaz's current mummified state.

 

You been at the Blue Nun again Dave? Pmsl :lol:

Roger will be there (before us as a rule) selling all manner of vinyl delights. He had some absolutely fantastic LPs last time I looked - but no KTF headrest covers unfortunately. 

With Dave's sales to rummage through as well the orangery will be well worth a visit

Well this guest is a bit late posting...my apologies for that. Had a few things happening, including a weinfest in Germany I'm still recovering from!

Grumpy has my undivided attention now. As you probably know I adore the place, usually propping up the bar chatting to Kev and Sharon and drinking too much beer, with the occasional bit of footwork on the floor in between pints and chin stroking!

It doesn't seem long ago (back in Nov 2011 to be precise) that Phil sent me a message here on SS entitled "Try this Corker....Could be right up your street, hope you can make it...you'll not be disappointed musically though I don't think"

How right you were Phil!! Pleased to call myself a Grumpy Regular and that's honour enough, but to be asked to spin a few is an honour beyond my dreams!

So thanks again Phil & Joan, I trust I can do you justice and will do my own acapella Happy Birthday to Chalky, I know he can't wait.

Blue Nun Phil how passe' I bet you woo'd your lovely wife with a brandy and babycham back in the day you romantic ole' fool :D I bet you drove an XR2 as well !! (before you turned into a Grumpy old man) :wicked:

Babycham was invented by Francis Showering of Shepton Mallet, Somerset during 1953, and was regarded as major contributor to the baby boom of the 1960's and 70's. Although it struggled for many years to gain favour with the hard drinking women in the north of England "don't give me any of that sparkly southern softy shite " they cried as they bit the top of yet another bottle of milk stout and shucked on a piece of coal to make it last longer.

N.B. Vintage Babycham (by that I mean out of date fire damaged stock) is still readily on sale at all Winsford Steve's family owned hostelry's throughout the Widnes diocese.

Sets of lookalike Babycham glasses will be on sale and available from Roger Banks on the night ! :yes:

BTW had did Sharon Spittle's hanging basket's fair in the Runcorn In bloom compition this year ? I bet she never repeated the success of that year we composted her Pertunia's, Percy Thrower eat your heart out !

Think it's near a canal or something mate. (I'm looking into hiring a barge as it's the only way I'd go the same way more than once).

Always good to see you two :thumbsup:

A big thanks to Steve for his daily roadworks reports, sterling work, let's hope none of the Runcorn hoodies switch any of the diversion signs around ( soul night in a cul-de sac anyone?).

A full update of this weeks events leading up to Grumpy's to follow once the concussion has worn off and the butterfly stitches have disolved  yep had a bit of a domestic accident, fell over the cat and split my head open on a cupboard door ! (I can see and hear Mr Cunliffe punching the air and shouting "I told you so" at the top of his voice he's claimed I've had a hole in my head for years !!!!!) Louise would like you all to know that no damage has been down to the cupboard door and the cat is unharmed :yes: It's a good job she's a tri-colour cat because if she'd have been  one of those lucky black ones I would asked for my money back !!!:lol:

Dave the one still smelling of TCP !
