OK, I will stay

orchidee

You want me to go?

OK, I will stay as long as I wish! lol

What? I've outstayed my welcome?

I need to 'get my coat?' (and be gone)

I've been here a while

Now I'm hanging around like a bad....... smell?

A bad apple or a bad penny would be more polite

 

I know, you want me to go

Cos I gave you that betting tip

But didn't tell you

It was a 3-legged horse

A wooden horse in fact, like that Trojan Horse!

 

Much more of this?

Can ya bear it?

Nope, you say:

I'd rather watch 20 years of Neighbours

Is Bouncer the dog still in it?

The only real actor! 

LOL

    This struck too close to reality my friend there is nothing as annoying as a guest that overstays their time. Be it a party where they linger on long after everyone else is gone or a stay where a couple of days turns into weeks it is infuriating and one's best manners are strained to the limit to simply not tell them to get out or throw them out physically. Like a fly that persists buzzing around where they are not welcome. This one struck a raw nerve.

      Most welcome Orchi

        Thank you SB. Oops, I got comments mixed up - gone daft writing so much rubbish recently! lol.

        • sorenbarrett

          That's okay I did the same thing to someone else

          Neighbours, mmm.... good choice. I tend toward Home and Away but any of them will do. 👍🏻🕊️

          • orchidee

            Aww, apologies to you? lol. I could say 'Eastenders' for UK - the most grumpy, miserable, frumpy serial. I stopped watching it when Wellard the dog went out of it - the only real actor in it. lol.

              Erm, Fawlty Towers? Some Mothers Do Have ‘Em? Keeping Up Appearances?

              Haha, Orchi...first you refuse eviction, then commit equine fraud, and finally sentence everyone to decades of Australian television. Popeye has contacted a solicitor, Bouncer demands top billing, and weirdly, there’s a mysterious package of odorous green cans seeping green sludge. Simply marked Glug™. What the hell is that? WCAT?!?! That’s what! Fantastic fun, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                Thank you T. lol.

                You are being overly sensitive, orchi. Has anyone actually asked you to leave? And what's more you be careful about encouraging derogatory commentary on Australian dogs, will ya? Or I'll be round there (Qantas frequent flyer points won't cover it, but still) and tear such a chunk out of your rear end you will run off home without any argument over your coat...

                • orchidee

                  Thank you D. I never leave, of course! lol. I was encouraging positive comments on Bouncer - he was the only real actor in the show. lol.

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    Yeh, but you know as how your positive comments sometimes lead to contary responses...

                    • orchidee

                      Also - I know how your pic look somewhat like bouncer! lol.
                      Me motto is summat like 'Sir Orchi NS to the rescue'. He'll talk rubbish, throw ya off-beam, speak eccentrically of his talking dog Fido, etc. You'll never have a dull moment with him!

                      • Doggerel Dave

                        Who is this fellow? Sounds like a paragon of modesty and self effacement..........................

                        • orchidee

                          Oh, he is some guy who spouts rubbish and dunno wot he is on about, maybe a relative of mine. lol.
