Well I believe it is Rufus2 91st on the 8th. We are holding an impromptu virtual party for him. All you need to do is say what you are bringing or doing and what you will wear.

Rufus has promised to be on his best behaviour ?

I will be DJing and wearing a rather fetching sparkly purple jump suit. And before you ask Rufus you can't come in your Birthday suit, this is a respectable party.

Over to you.

My knees gave out Waterloosunset, I didn't fall over because of too much wine

They should be recovered in time for Rufus's 92nd!

Am I alone in having never heard of Rufus2. Is he someone off The Archers or Love Island?
G'Day Watermeadow; How did you enjoy Love Island? wink
You wouldn't have seen me there because I didn't know it existed, but having Googled it, I wish I had!
A reviewer of the Aussie version didn't think much of it.
I quote:
The trashiest, bitchiest, cringiest reality show has come to Australia, and viewers just can’t look away.
The nearest I ever came to this sort of lifestyle was about 70 years ago involving a week's holiday at Butlin's Holiday Camp at Clacton-on-Sea !
Ah, Memories. grin
Carry on Dreaming!
Ooroo

Did you have shenanigans with any of the Red Coats Rufus or were you in the nobbly knee competition ?

NanKate; Oh dear! Now you've done it; I'd exorcised them from my memory banks and now I visualise him again, leaping on the breakfast table and being "cheer-leader" for his "team!" sad
Somehow I don't think they do that sort of thing on Love Island, but perhaps Watermeadows can confirm. wink
Youngsters are far more sophisticated these days!
Coincidentally, I've just finished offering on another thread, being the proud possessor of 2 TKRs, my recommendation to forget arthroscopy and go for new knees.
My knees didn't win anything then and they wouldn't even get me to the starting gate now, especially after that party.!
Oh dear, it's tea time again!
See ya later.

I seem to be gettinga Lot of blame from you * rufus* I’ll have you know that I was a very Hands On QC
Oops; Sorry about that! Of course you were and I'm sure any future birthday boy or girl will be only too happy to have you as their QC. I'll make sure you get a good reference. grin
I've just received CCTV footage of the event, confirming everything being conducted in an orderly manner. Jolly good! wink
Ooroo

rufus?

CCTV now that is a worry. I hear that someone looking very like Donald Trump ? Was seen gate crashing the party. Maybe he has arrived in the UK earlier than expected. Someone said he was chatting to a chap called Nigel and they were eyeing up the Grans. I am so Pleased Rufus we had you to protect us.
