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.

If anyone finds a glass slipper size 11, it’s mine, wearing them too big as per the Royals, too let my liddle old tootsies breathe.

Anyway I need that shoe.

Anyone?

Oopsadaisy53 Sun 08-Jul-18 11:54:02

Yodel oh delaaaay heeeede heeeeee
Here I am rufus have some plonk, and a chunk of birthday cake.

I’ve been saving my voice for the sing song

I do believe we have Vera Lynns greatest hits on the playlist.

Yeh strut your funky stuff surenuff........hic, burp oops

You don't think Rufus is drunk under the table with one of the young waitresses do you ? Where is he?

NanKate; G'Day! You told me to look at the Good Morning Sunday thread and that's where I've been.
You were promoting your opinion that I haven't "lost my marbles" Remember? Or have you lost some of yours already? grin
You also said you'd be my DJ, so I gave you my playlist, but I haven't yet seen it being handed round or even heard it! What channel are you on? What's going on? confused
Even if you can stoop, you won't find me under that table; any self-respecting waitress would have to be drunk herself before she'd get under a table with this old bloke. grin
Switching between all these threads is proving to be a challenge to my remaining marbles, but over there (the Sunday thread) I expressed my heartfelt thanks for setting up this virtual party. It's fantastic and almost real; don't tell anyone, but I found myself reviewing my real wardrobe for something smart. shock Unfortunately nothing! It's all out of fashion and I stopped looking for new stuff a couple of years ago as being a poor investment
Not exactly a shining example of the power of positive thinking! sad
And I was posting very early if you must know; a lady in Scotland wide awake at 4.30a.m. where it's always daylight at this time of year I believe.

Now! I must away and help Oops who also seems to have lost some marbles and control of her keyboard! grin
She was supposed to be Quality Control Manager (drinks), but seems to have got carried away with the high quality of my presents and now carried away herself! I'm not sure too sure where to look, but her "singing" might help track her down. wink
Meanwhile the bar is still open, even if it's a bit early for a Sunday, but that doesn't happen too often to make it a habit.wink
Enjoy

?? we're dancing on the ceiling.......

Oops, have I got a bottle or two ahead of you all
hic !

NanKate Sun 08-Jul-18 11:16:08

I’m still struggling with the anagram, further clue required please. Others can join in too.

Tasty cake Jalima! Oh Eglantine - so cute! Come on girls, let’s go party ?

NfkDumpling Sun 08-Jul-18 10:59:26

I fear he’s fallen asleep under the table! We may have to party on for an hour or two. Maybe the combined GN choir singing of Happy Birthday will have to wait!

Jalima1108 Sun 08-Jul-18 10:45:59

are we partying on our own without Birthday Boy?

Jalima1108 Sun 08-Jul-18 10:45:39

grin
love it Eglantine!

Eglantine21 Sun 08-Jul-18 10:44:20

I have knitted him a kangaroo with a football jersey.

Actually it isn’t quite finished and it’s a meerkat anyway, but I don’t think he’ll notice.........

Jalima1108 Sun 08-Jul-18 10:36:28

Here it is (extra fruit provided) - along with a bottle of Australian fizz:

Jalima1108 Sun 08-Jul-18 10:33:25

shock after all our hard work?!
Your outfit should tempt him back Waterloosunset!

Well, in the meantime I will wish Rufus
A Very Happy 91st Birthday
and bring some of this sunshine to the party!

Just finished the pavlova - if Rufus has left us in the lurch we may have to eat it all ourselves grin

Jane10 Sun 08-Jul-18 10:32:01

Shenanigans? I remember them! blush

Waterloosunset Sun 08-Jul-18 10:28:33

He’s having shenanigans on the good morning thread! I’ll just have to put on my bunny costume and bring him back?

MawBroon Sun 08-Jul-18 10:28:06

Can we liven things up a bit?
This one always gets people up on the floor (as opposed to up off the floor)

Wishing you a very ????Happy Birthday???? Rufus

Waterloosunset Sun 08-Jul-18 09:00:03

Yes NanKate three words and in keeping with the World Cup. Of course, I will keep you a big piece ?

Mapleleaf Sun 08-Jul-18 08:58:42

Happy Birthday ? Rufus. ??

NanKate Sun 08-Jul-18 08:48:04

Love the cake Waterloo keep me a piece please.

NanKate Sun 08-Jul-18 08:47:22

Give me 3 hours Waterloo and I will have it on the turntable for you. How many words is it - 3 ?

Where is the Birthday Boy ? Rufus please check out Good Morning Sunday where a number of GNs have left you good wishes.

kittylester Sun 08-Jul-18 08:30:45

Many happy returns, Rufus - enjoy your party. I'm afraid I will miss the fun as it's our village street market and I need to spend money to help the traders.

Marydoll Sun 08-Jul-18 08:30:10

Happy birthday Rufus, have a great day!

cornergran Sun 08-Jul-18 08:25:58

Birthday greetings rufus, sounds as if your party will be one to remember smile, sunshine, wine

Waterloosunset Sun 08-Jul-18 08:25:56

NanKate, can you play this one please?
