Do You Burlesque

image
After persuading Mr Caddie that the flashing mac was not appropriate for the evening out at a Burlesque show, we all trundled up to Dewsbury Town Hall (yup sounds seedy already) with low expectations for the night. Oh my were we over dressed or what, it was like a scene from Rocky Horror with most of the women in the audience dressed up or down (depends how you look at it), basques, stockings, maid outfits with frilly Knicks. It was all we could do to stop Mr Caddie from drooling.

So to the show and before we start the tickets were only £10, well not the most polished of performances, one woman with what can only be described as a tyre mark tattoo across her back and another that both I and Mr Caddie were convinced was a bloke (Mr Caddy actually started shouting at the stage “It’s a Man!”). The performances were ok, but we all had fun gettin tiddly howling at the stage and watching a woman get her baps out to waggle them with tassels on. More entertaining as mentioned was the audience and their attire. We all chatted to a family (well mother, daughter, the mums toyboy who was huge and the daughters boyf) who appeared to follow this show around the country. I personally didn’t hear anything the family were saying since I was concentrating on the views very hard.

Both Caddie and I got ever so slightly tiddly but the night was fun and entertaining all at the same time. can’t wait for the next fun night.

A Night with fhe Caddies

image
We have come to see the Caddies for the evening and to see a Burlesque show at Dewsbury Town Hall. Mrs Foggy is sat showing Mr Caddie the pictures of Singapore and Hinja (it has been a few months since we saw them).

And as you can see Mr Caddie has his dirty flashing mac ready for the evening (beer and drool optional)

Let Em Eat Caku

And here she is Mrs Foggy with Caku (surprisingly Japanese for Cake). A wonderful leisurely weekend of not cleaning 2 cars and a bike (obviously not Mrs Foggy).

We got up late, enjoyed the limited sunshine and went to look round some other peeps houses, still no joy yet tho. Mrs Foggy has also had 2 golf lessons, is whacking over a 100m and managed hole in 1 (fluke).

Next weekend it’s off to see a Burlesque with Caddies (needless to say Mr Caddie and Mr Foggy are quite looking forward to it).

Two Twees

Sat here on a late May Friday evening pondering the world from our back garden and wondering what it is all about. The big question, Life and the answer, well I have no idea at all, who does?

I have a wonderful life, a beautiful, intelligent wife but still ponder what it is all about.

Alcohol, is it bad or does it make your thoughts less clouded? Who know but give me more.

Loverly Weekend Begorrah

image
Back home now after a mammoth 11hour journey from the folks (3 hours to the ferry, 2 hours on the ferry standing of course, then a whopping 5 hours back in standing traffic). We spent the weekend chillaxin, eating (lamb joint on Friday, BBQ on Sat & Sun, yummy), drinking and getting a layin without little Spikey waking us.

It’s 2 years since we were over in Dat Der Oirland and it was a wonderful break finished off with an attempt at being a lumberjack shunting 10ft trees from the wood back to the Folkies.

It’s good to see that the Folks garden and home are now well established and looking fantastic.

Roll on our next trip which we intend will be later this year to celebrate Halloween Foggy style Woooooo.

Standing Room Only

The return journey from the Folks in Kilmovee was a straight forward one until you get to the oversubscribed ferry. Etiquette appears to be that you race to find a seat and don’t give it up no matter what.

The safety announcement tells you that in the event of an emergency you must return to your seat, but given they have 1500 people onboard they are only short by about 1000 or so seats, how’s that gonna work?

Oh well only another 3 hour drive at the other end. This is the grumpy monkey signing off for today.

Am Gam Yam from here.

Who Says Women Can’t Park

image
The Folks and The Fogg’s took a trip up to Foxford Mill in err Foxford that there oiland yesterday for a gentle stroll out in Mrs Fogg’s Audi Turbo Nutter mobile.

When we arrived at the empty car park Mrs Fogg proceeded to park under a tree to which everyone in the car pointed out about tree sap and bird poop, so she moved the other side of the car park under the opposite side of the tree. After much moving, reversing, going forward, turning left and right after 5 failed attempts, this is the result!! (and just out of shot is Mrs Folk doubled up with tears of laughter)

And who says women can’t park

Ferry Ferry Nice

Well after moving rooms in the Hotel D’Shabby we had an uneventful evening (beside the elephant breakdancing in the room above and the woman throwing up outside the window during the night, smashing) and are now sat aboard the ferry to Oiland.

in 2 hours time we with arrive at Dun O Lurgy (think that’s what it’s called).

Beautiful sunny day and a hot mama at my side.

Leaving on a jet boat from here.

Would Lenny Henry Stop Here?

So Bad Even the Fleas Checkout

So Bad Even the Fleas Checkout

So that once funny comedian (well when he was on TisWas and OTT) advertises a chain of hotels and this isn’t one of them. These cheap hotels are supposed to be a bargain, really? So would Lenny stop here, I think not!!!!!

A collapsed bed, 3 pillows between 2 people, on a housing estate, no soap, one towel, no hot water and sticky stuff on all the surfaces. What a dive. Trip Advisor here we come.

The Folks in dat dare oiland also reckoned this newly built hotel was worth a visit, shame on you two.

We really slummed it here.
