Debs, I don't think that not knowing the whereabouts of the sprawling Metroplois that is P.R makes you ignorant!

It is in Bucks half way between High Wycombe and Aylesbury...which is why we are meeting there!

Dad used to have a Pub there in the Market Square, it also has a huge White cross carved in to the hill on The Ridgeway.
Tis very nice.

Wake up at the back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ebx

Hi Debs,

Ooooh, jelly tots ................

Virtual birthday parties are sooo much fun ;-))

MC xx

HI MC - moosic stopped again - your turn - whats underneath your layer?
debs
X

A party popper that covers the room with streamers?

No way!

My party poppers are always so weak that they never get any further than my dinner plate, and turn the gravy a funny colour.

harumph.

MW, a!

Hi Debs,.................

oooh soo much sellotape, am struggling, .... hey just got it off .............. and , oh dam, the music has started again ;-(((

MC x

MW! a.....You fascinate me strangely!

Ou est vous? or something like that?

I know that's French btw....well sort of French.

Likea Pasta....Do you have to have a row with the other half while your walking around choosing it?

Beaten once again by fate!

Rips

Hi MC - dont you HATE it when that happens
:-O
Never mind - I'm sure you will do better in moosical chairs - us northerners - we are well good at that.......

Hi CLP and everyone

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Greetings from a beautifully sunny Wigan, sorry to those of you with all the cloudy wet stuff.

Have been really busy with the nieces, who we took home yesterday, well, two-thirds of the way, and then we made them walk! (Not really!!) But we had a really great time with them :)

Have spent today clearing out the lounge ready for repainting, but Mr JG & I are still "discussing" the new colour scheme...hence now up to 7 different tester pot patches on the walls, and still no agreement!

Have now given in and poured the first glass of vino as an attempt at avoiding going back out for more colours!

Let's get this party cranked up!

JG xx

Sorry for going on!

Rips - took me a while that one - L IKEA pasta n'est pas?
Oh you crack me up!
debs
X

No rowing as going round choosing, the rowing starts on the drive to the big pasta warehouse, while I make lists stating we only need a bit of Penne. And end up buying sheets of lasagne without measuring and by the time we get round to using it we discover that actually sheet B doesn't attach to sheet A, and noodles 3, 4 and 7 are missing.

indeed.

fascinate you strangely? Is that different to strangely fascinating?

MW, a!

I'll stop hogging this in a minute...promise!

Have you seen the hoooge Tube party popper/cannons.

Last Christmas we set two of through my mates letterbox while he was out.

We were challenged by his neighbour as we legged it giggling uncontrollably, as he'd just witnessed two men pull up, run to the door, shoot two canisters through the letterbox, which made quite a bang, and then run off.

He saw the funny side....these things managed to spray rubbish across the length of his lounge and well into the kitchen.

Genius!


Rips

Well,
Looks like we're off to a good start, I have to admit that FNWC started early chez Noos, just after phone call infact. Iwas thinking, now where did I put that ruddy yardarm, I'm sure the sun's past it it by now.

And
Huge great big sloppy thank you's to
Thunder - thanks for keeping em crossed - go careful now I don't want to be responsible for anything dropping off!
The leather stuff was from the days when I was under the impression I looked good in em, they still fit, but kind of in a different way - that's enough, back in the wardrobe for them I feel.
Tins, Penny F, DebsHJ, Purp Dragon, Beez, Sbp and Deev of course - thanks so much for all your positive notes and thoughts - I know if/when we meet in person it'll be ruddy awesome. xx

Debs,

Tee hee .............

who is going to start the bbq ? come on lets get the sausages going ..........

MWa over to you...........

MC

MC,

Now, don't you be giving me any responsibilty in the hot sausage department.

Not advisable.

Really, really not.

MW, a

Jackeygirl, I'm sorry, - you discuss, colours, put your foot down with a firm hand girl, he'll realise whos incharge in such matters!!

NICKI....I retract everything I have said.

Thunder, arm wrestle in the car park now!

MW, a! - you're too clever for me..but then so is mud!

Haha!

Right got to go and make myself look Tip Top.........................


.................Done!

I put a long baggy coat with a hood on!

Don't drink anything Deev brings!!!!!

Later Taters

Nicki - starting early - good girl - my kind of in-fact! Just about to pour glass #2....

I agree the 'if/when' we meet it will be fun - only being new to this and not on 'the other side' team - is there one planned? Work wise I am free for the rest of my life at the moment........ :-)

Oh, and Rips,

In answer to your French question.

About 20 past 6.

MW, a!

Clodagh???

You out there?? we need the bbq starting,

Ooo, just noticed my glass is empty - later folks, behave, don't let Mariella near the barbi, and for gawds sake if Deev turns up with the yellow feathers keep her away from it!

Happy birthday everyone - just found a box of Stella bottles in shed - whooo hooooo cheers!!!

Actually to make it worse, he's colour-blind, so thought one of the colours was green, when it was actually "Nutmeg" - grrrr

At least I've talked him out of a feature wall in "Muddy Puddle"

Penny x

Lorks a lordy, my bottom's on fire.

Well, that is not strictly true, I've just had The Young Ones spinning through this addled mind of mine today.

Is it really Friday again? I really don't know whether I'm coming or going.

By the way, happy birthday, and all that jazz.

Three years? Three years I've been coming here?

Crumbs. I remember the very first few weeks. Without wishing to harp on about it again, that was time I first met Chris. I mentioned the 'schlog', as it was known then, to him and he said he was glad I liked it and maybe it would continue.

By heck it has lad, by heck it has.

Dreary old evening here in West Sussex, by the way. We've just been watching our mate Gary (Rhodes) annoying all the chefs in the Caribbean on telly, specifically the one in St Lucia, which has both of us all dewy-eyed as we remember our wonderful week there back in February.

Seems a long time ago.

But.

Road trip. I know you are all on the edges of your seats waiting for the decision. So here it is.

Ta da!

We're going RV. Yup, have camper, will travel.

We are 'bookending' the 10 or so days in the truck with a couple of days in Vegas in two ultra-luxurious hotels - two nights at the beginning one end of the strip, two nights at the end at the other end of the strip - but in the middle we are 'roughing it'.

Not really, but we will be cooking our own meals and, yep, emptying the dunny.

Hey, it will be an experience.

We delivered a rather nice car to a rich, Premiership footballer today, someone picked a decent tune on ARF - The Killers - and I have a glass of vino in my hand. An OK day in my book.

Loving your work

MfR

Bagpuss - well worn path to Beaconsfield - for a few years car knew its own way - bro in law parties with actor/ t/v type dahlings in attendance. Good at the time!
Nearly finished cooking just bubbling away now - glass in hand - cheers!

Beez xxx

ps rips - all sorted!!

Matt, your hols sounds absolutely fabulous! go where you want, eat what and when you want, it'll be so brill!

Was it an Aston Martin? A Merc??

T xxx

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Matt - any room for a little one in that RV? I can bring wine!

Deev x

Oh, and I just remembered the other thing I was going to mention.

Going on from Chris' experience with ACDC, I coldn't help thinking back to one of the more extreme 'rock moments' of my mispent youth.

For some reason we decided to go and see a band called Slayer at Hammersmith Odeon, as it was then. By the way, what is it called now?

Anyway. For those that don't know them, Slayer are a fairly extreme metal band, who are rather partial to very fast heavy stuff - mostly known as 'thrash' - and quite extreme lyrics, which I won't mention. That said, their definitive recording - Reign in Blood (get the idea?) is actually a very good album - if you are into that sort of stuff.

So we trot down to Hammy O, aged 16 or 17, dressed in the standard uniform of ripped denim and cowboy boots, and neck a few (underage) pints of cheap lager.

Then, the rock monsters come on, and we basically spend the next two hours headbanging. Think Wayne's World Bohemian Rhapsody, and you won't be far off.

At the end, we managed to get the band's autographs, and even had a truly great experience, which was wandering around on the stage after the place was empty. This is actually amazing. I was once privilaged to get onto Centre Court, Wimbledon after the men's singles final, when the whole place had emptied, and it is the eeriest, but most spine-tingling place I have ever had to myself.

Anyway. To cut a long story short, the next week was spent suffering from what was essentially self-induced whiplash.

Moral of the story? Don't do as the kids do, sup a pint in the bar, find a comfy seat, and enjoy the show with your feet up.

Peace etc

MfR

Tins.

An Aston. Can't say anymore.

Deev. Yup, hop aboard. Seats about twenty, so hurry up and bring your jukebox money.

MfR

Hello

Just I would pop in quickly, I'm home now finally discharged.

Haven't read any post for so long now hope everyone is ok, may be back later if I can stay awake that is.
