It's time we knuckled down and did what we do best. We need some serious silliness and we need it now like we never did before.
I'm going right back in time and reinstating the Wicker Heifer only this time it's going to be a Wicker Roof, for the chucking off of Nigels, an easier shape to knit as well so it's all good.
Madeira and chlorpromazine cocktails for all who want to risk them, and a lot of Cake.
Also a dance troupe of old gentlemen in pyjamas and bagpiping kittens, also Le Creuset lids as Valkyrie bras, for those man enough to lift the things.
We might even invite Eddie Mair's pianist to play I Will Survive.
If none of this makes sense, don't worry. Join in anyway.
Whoops. Forgot to mention roodness and fainting couches for all.
Will you be wearing the Lucky Knickers?
Will there be chocolate and cake and marzipan?

I will be wearing the Lucky Knickers on my head, Deb. Chocolate and cake and marzipan will be available at all times.
I'm going down singing, Kit.

Today it feels like the Titanic sinking, but tomorrow I will look for cheese at Peet's (where I already have an account.)
"One day Sniff and Scurry arrive at Cheese Station C to find no cheese left, but they are not surprised. Noticing the cheese supply dwindling, they have mentally prepared beforehand for the arduous but inevitable task of finding more cheese."

I've been ill....did I ment the koff and norovirus.....?
I'm there, I've done Zumba so can bust a few moves....so am up for a party.
Hot to trot, moi....
Well if you're wearing the LKs on your head, can I borrow the tea cosy?
I will throw any marzipan off the roof that comes my way.I heard Nigel eats it for breakfast.
Am I back on samosa and pakora duty?
I am both able and willing.

You have bewildered this server and should be proud.

Prawn spoons, we have to have prawn spoons!
Wah, no more weird Christmas party food threads, we'll have to have them all now, and Hot Cross Buns, Creme Eggs, sprouts and any other seasonal comestibles that we won't get to celebrate here again.
And a lorryload of Rennies.

Prawn Spoons, yes yes yes! Creme Eggs, yes, truckloads of them! Hot cross buns, oh yes please. Sprouts! I hope you've all put your sprouts on ready for Christmas 2014. It's too late for this Christmas, you should have put them on last February.

I cannot for the life of me remember why we needed the ambulances, lc. Unless they were somewhere handy to lie down after the excitement of the oiled firemen.
I think we knitted the original Wicker Heifer out of used IV lines and ripped up strips from old copies of Take A Break, but I'm determined to get some pointy shoes into the mix for this one.
< We might even invite Eddie Mair's pianist to play I Will Survive. >
Ooh, ooh - I'll bring my best handbag for us to dance around!!
Um, and I'd like an oiled fireman too, pretty please...

Always makes me think f dental floss, I'm afraid.
So, where are we setting up the knitting stall, and the Weaving the Wicker Lower Loxley. Shall I pace out the foundations? I've had builders in so I know ALL about foundations. < preens >

I see the roodness I ordered has arrived.

Won't need them, I've done us a deal on these, there's plenty to go round, all sizes ( not that any of us will need anything bigger than medium).
I did try to get marmite ones but it appears they are out of season.
I've just thought of something, without this board there are going to be entire generations who don't know the right way to hang toilet rolls. Oh heck.

We have to have Twiglets, for the marmite, and if the sprouts are cooked in a remoska (sp) they might be ready in time. Talking of being ready, are the loo rolls all the wrong way round in the Ladies?

The thought makes my blood run cold, Vicks. I've already had to change it round in the staff room at skool - well, not in the staff room exactly, we do have a separate loo - but I did have to instruct the younger members of staff so as Not To Let It Happen Again.
Shame about the Marmite thongs. Any marzipan ones?
Any marzipan ones?Â
I'll be brave and try googling for them Eliza. If not, I'm sure Carrick would loan us a few tons of the precious substance from her emergency stash so we could whittle our own. After all this IS an emergency.

Don't panic lc, they're strung on elastic. You might need to bunch the sweeties up a bit to avoid gaps though.
< well, not in the staff room exactly, we do have a separate loo >
They do spoil you, don't they? Wot luxury!
I don't want a thong. Those candy ones look very - er - itchy.
What about a marzipan fireman........?

Excellent, Vicks.
I'll just get the Mounties to budge up (it's a big country, Canada; and if Red can manage a brace of builders in her vestibule...).

I trust this party will go on until The Very End. I've brought the damson gin -- three skipfuls , so just enough for Eliza to get going.
Damson
I'm just dragging in a sofa to sit behind & nick Damson's gin
< waves to Damson -- haven't seen you around lately >
All foods must be cooked in the ML Remoska (sorry Bella).
Seriously, my best wishes and thanks to everyone in ML who has enriched my life these past 13 years. We may meet again, don't know where, don't know when.

Better make them paper ones Auntie. I know it goes against the grain, but how depressing would it be to wash and iron them all the next day knowing they'd never be needed again. And on a practical level Laura wouldn't be around to advise on getting rid of the obdurate stains.
I'll bring some quiches and sandwiches suitable for grabbing.

A bowl of soup would be nice. Not forgetting some Tarm Archer sausages (better leave those ready meals - who knows what's in them).
