Message of thanks after Weekender

slob · 16-05-2012, 05:24 PM

To all members of UKMOC
It was a such a delight to see you all at The Arrow Mill, Warks last Sunday 6th May 2012. What a splendid weekend and at least the weather behaved itself.
I enclose the official receipt for your kind donation of £64.40, contents of the bucket and quiz proceeds - to the emergency work of The Air Ambulance.
You know that your gift will be put to good use providing professional, expert, immediate medical care to those that have need of us.
With my warmest thanks to everyone, yours
Jenny Ashman
Area Coordinator

She's lovely.

See?

Sounds like something on a menu that would make me smile & say "I've chosen"...

Was it cooked on a Braai (BBQ) to get that authentic smokey/burnt taste...

Who wants to grow up? Once you grow up you grow old... blx to that!

I wonder what the pot could've had totalled if the carpark had been full... Still a great cause whichever region it's for.

I've been very sensible this week I'll have you know.

See?

Did Martin say he offered to put his key in the bucket (well that's not what he said but that's what she thought he said)

She was very keen

Nonnie · 16-05-2012, 06:33 PM

slob will be devastated, he thought Jenny wanted HIM.

Oh she's a flighty one alright!

My most lovely Tuesday conversation this week actually taught me something. The best conversations are held on a Tuesday.

The “lion and bees” tin was registered as Lyle’s trademark. The design comes from Abram Lyle’s religious beliefs: it’s a reference to a story in the Old Testament, in which Samson killed a lion, then saw that bees had formed a honeycomb in the lion’s carcass. The bible references Samson’s words that also feature on the tin “Out of the strong came forth sweetness”. The logo and design remain unchanged today.

And THEN I found out that Mr Tate was the founder of the Tate Gallery.

I ask you, who knew that?

Now I feel the powers that control my Tuesday will be very pleased I have passed this information on to others.

My work here is done.

The powers are most definitely pleased and them flies ain't flies; they most definitely be bees.

Capo · 16-05-2012, 07:49 PM

I always thought they were flies

gary tompkins · 16-05-2012, 10:48 PM

They probably were flies really... being a dead lion and all that. But then we are talking about the Old Testament here.

Could just have easily been a Unicorn riding a unicycle on the Tate and Lyle tins.

Great news on fund raising for Air Ambulance though.. just a few more helium party balloons and we should be able to get one airborne
