Well, it sounds as if you've all enjoyed yourselves and had one heck of a good time!!

Looking forward to seeing pics .... desperately wanting to put faces to names!!

[LEE]

Of course we didn't ban you blinkinlovely, we wouldn't do that

As we've said a few times recently, there is an intermittent problem with the forum and several members occasionally get a very annoying message saying they are banned.

If you refresh a few times you should be OK.

We are working on it.

Bravo Busy Bee, stonking!! Well worth an hour in a siding at Brum I feel.

OK, I know who M & V are, but who are H & H???

M, V, H and H. - say no more.

It was a night of nights. I thought I was the very model of decorum and refinement.

However, as I have already said privately to Lee, I have learnt two valuable lessons:

1. Never attempt to sing when sober

2. Never volunteer to sing alone

and possibly:

3. Never assume that being built like Alison Moyet means you can sing like her!

I was disappointed I didn't get a chance to dedicate my solo rendition and my duet with Peachy to the one and only Mr Clarke, but I'm sure you already guessed from the titles.

Sticks, you're on for the duet next year! I know you're a Meatloaf fan, so how about
'Dead Ringer'. I think I could do a passable Cher.......................

How can we possibly wait a whole year to repeat this experience??????

[BusyBee]

ROB M and V were joined in their late night chat by a young lady and her sister - say no more.

I must admit I was inspired by the deep and meaningful conference we had about the merits of a certain young man who we are both rather fond of. I wonder if his ears were burning - bet he doesnt get compliments like that every day!!


You are right a year to wait is a long time -
how about a BB2 anniversary meeting - after all if its good enough for the housemates then its good enough for us.

[LEE]

I'd worked out one of the H'swas Hannah, but her sister's name doesn't begin with an H so i got confused as well.

[BusyBee]

Sorree I'm still in recovery so the old mind is not ticking over too well.

Anyway got to have a few red herrings along the way to keep everyone on their toes.

That would be the lousy deal I got at the hands of Arriva Trains Northern, and the Hotel from Hell I stayed in.

Toilet roll ran out (Luckily I bought my own)
Breakfast was late
No Tea making equipment
Paper thin walls
When someone at breakfast asked for another cup of coffee, they were gven a rude no.

You had to interupt the happiness of the thread didnt you Sticks! Lol! I spose it IS your job so you can be forgiven!

But I have to say your hotel doesnt sound that bad!

When I went to Tenerife a few months ago our apartment had a bathroom door that didnt lock (shared between 5 of us!), a squeaky bed and cockroaches but I loved every minute of it!
Its not where you are, but who your with that counts and Im sure the company was great!

Sorry if that sounded a bit arse-licky! Lol!

[steve_o]

Never mind sticks, I couldn't get my telly to work when I first got there and that's 45 quid for you

[WILDCHILD]

Life just isnt worth living when you dont have a tv.
Did u get a discount steve?

[steve_o]

I didn't bother to ask, I'd had a good night and a nice breakfast, I was in a good mood a few channels where working better in the morning as well, I thought whats the point of an argument so I just paid up.Oh well better luck next time.

[James]

It sounds like mucho fun was had.

Sorry I wasn't part of it - I'm actually quite green-eyed!

Will have to try and make the next 'gathering'

[BusyBee]

Steve you werent the only one having trouble with the tv. I spent ages trying to find the remote - then realised there wasnt one. The reception wasnt good when I finally worked out how it worked, but the free tea and coffee went down a treat! I quite agree that was a completely amazingly good breakfast at the hotel, set me up until I eventually got home.

Thanks for letting me know LEE.
I'm glad that I am not the only one!

[WILDCHILD]

I cant believe we missed our breakfast!!
Hannah and I got up really late, even though we were supposed to meet BusyBee and steve 0 (apologies go to both of you for us not turning up!)
I was really looking forward to having our breakfast - but we overslept and missed out!! Ah well, there is alwasy next year!

[LEE]

I must admit Wildchild, that when I was sitting with the four of you and you were all arranging to meet for breakfast, I was highly dubious that any of you would get up in time.

If the truth be known I don't think Lee has been up n time for breakfast since anyway !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ LOL ]

Sorry Lee I couldn't resist that one and i wasn't even there !

[blinkinlovely]

I have MSN messenger - how do I get a little pic at the end of each post?

[Romantic Old Bird]

Hi Blinkin!

I think you need towrite your msn address on your profile!

[Romantic Old Bird]

Writing about how excellent Mr Richie was last week on FA,

AND me sitting here wishing it was this time last week has made me remember to mention in dispatches the very wonderful MR DISCOLADY before this thread disappears.

It was the third occasion I have had the privilege to hear his wonderful rendition of one of Lionels classics. An absolute blinder!!

I seem to vaguely remember that he was rewarded for his efforts by several big smackers and bear hugs from yours truly.

Sorry Discolady!! But he is a treasure and must be shared!

[peachy]

Hear, hear, Mr Discolady definitely deserves a mention. He is an absolute star and if ever Discolady gets fed up ROB and I would form a queue to take him off her hands.
