Ian & Emma
BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND 27th-29th MAY 2006 in't WEST YORKSHIRE
This is Margaret proudly posing beside her gorgeous son and handsome
daughter-in-law or vice versa
Yes, here's Ian with his conny Emma and his canny Mama outside "some owld hoose"
For those who only speak English
'conny' is Yorkshire for 'darling' and 'canny' is Geordie for 'canny'
This is Margaret hemmed in by two mountainous men. Jon, being more mountainous than Ian, is actually
standing in a hole
This is Emma and Margaret at a crumbling old ruin
and immediately behind the crumbling old ruin is East Riddlesden Hall at Keighley
This is Ian taking the Test of Yorkshire Manhood by eating 400 Yorkshire Puddings in one sitting. Emma looks on admiringly as Ian starts on his 280th, no doubt contemplating the pride Ian will feel if his feat is mentioned in Wikipedia
Here's Ian taking advantage of the judge being distracted by ditching some of his 390th pudding on his Mam
Any road up, by 'eck, Ian passed the test and when asked for a comment he said " Twas nowt but a snap. Daint tekus fer a brussen but, being reet clemmed, I fullocked and guzzled and gollupped the scran in me flep vary canty wi nere a crumb of dwine. Happen there was a tad of fugglin but hey, a's ne gawby" Which is amazing, because before he consumed all that Yorkshireness, he spoke dead geordie like.
"Yes Mummy, I admit I drank the fat bloke's pint but he has drenched me favourite ball by trying to score penalties
against Billy the Fish.
And hey up, hecky thump, he'll not miss a pint... let's face it, he's had 27 of t' buggars
"Please Mr Sven, I've been practicing really hard. I'm good. I'm better lookin' than Wayne.... and I've got twice as many metatarsels...all in perfect condition
On me 'ead, Son"
Thanks Ian & Emma for a really smashin' weekend. Your home is lovely and you two are great hosts. Just as soon as we figured out how to work the shower, we really felt at home.
It was a real pleasure to meet Ken & Christine even tho' Ken, let's be honest, is a bit of a lush when it comes to that red wine.
I must apologise to Christine, Oscar and Bill for failing to include them in this picture tribute but that was on account of being pissed most of the time...me that is, not Christine...obviously.
Oh and thank that nice lady, who speaks in your car, for telling us how to find Black Horses
Thanks once again and until the next time
gan canny
Del Boy (indeed!!)

P.S. This nearly went on the cutting room floor but I managed to find this pic of Christine
This is a very tired Christine being carried to bed by Zack, who's been taking the giant pills again
