Birthday Invitation

I wish you all lived in my village, we could have such fun!!!

I will come as a bunny girl - Rufus was asking about rabbits the other day ?

Thanks for the invite I'm going to bring pie mash & liquor, jellied eels, and a barrel of bitter to go with the hokey cokey you'll be thirsty after that and the birdy song?? and I'll be waring 1970 platform boots hot pants although on me they will be lukewarm pants!!

On the stroke of midnight on Saturday in the UK. Now Rufus are you behind or ahead of us

9 hours ahead! I'll be having my Weetbix whilst you are still living it up at midnight after England's win, but please leave some booze for the party.
And what's with this talk of bouncers.?
I imagined all GNs were gentle folk, but are you saying that some might be roughies? Or gatecrashers?
I'll have to recruit some of my Over 80's club members; They'll sort it!
Ooroo

* minerva* we look forward to seeing you. Chauffeur driven! My, you do travel in style, I’m having to get the No.63 but my luggage is in matching bags ( Waitrose bags for life of course).

Cakes and fizz have been sent ahead, I hope they are
safe ...........

and are we working onRufus time or UK

Ninathenana; Good question; I recommend we observe both. That will give every one a fair go (goes) at the luscious cakes and the upmarket liquid thirst quenchers!

Remember though; we are 9 hours ahead of you so I've got a good head start doing Oopsadaisy's quality control work.
Strewth; I've just realised. If England beat Sweden, there might not be any left come Sunday, and even if they lose, perish the thought, there definitely won't be any!
Oh dear! I must get to bed. It's past the witching hour again.
Good Health

I’ve booked my flight. First class, not just for the canapés and champagne but also so I can take double the luggage. I have to be ready for any kind of weather given the time of year over there so I’m packing most of my wardrobe. I also get a chauffeur driven car to the venue.
It’s very exciting as I thought I would never travel anywhere ever again, if only because of the cost of the insurance for an old crock like me.
I can’t wait to meet you both and everyone else. I might even get out of my wheelchair and dance.

Don’t worry Nankate I will make protecting the Bouncers one of my priorities ( Hee Hee) ?

On the stroke of midnight on Saturday in the UK. Now Rufus are you behind or ahead of us ?

I have hired some big strong guys as bouncers. I am a little concerned if any of our members could be tempted to chat them up. ??‍♀️?

I was thinking of a firework display but I've just been on the annoying neighbours thread.

So I will release a couple of my doves instead.

Ooh candles or those sparkly fireworks? Or both?

Definitely wearing a hat but not telling yet which one. I will be making ice cream floats for everyone, with a choice of ice cream flavours and cream soda or fizzy lemon. Definitely paper parasols in the ice cream floats. No gin until after 5 pm.

What time does the fun begin ?

The cake is 4 feet tall rufus as there seem to be a fair number of party goers and we don’t want to run out, some like to take cake home with them too.

Went to Australia, came back.

I hadn’t even thought about presents, but now you’ve mentioned it, I’d better get it to the shops.

Which is a tad unsettling far to go to what

Oopsadaisy; It's only me again. I'm trying to get to bed, but you keep on inviting responses and I can't resist you! [joke]
Have you thought of Australia? We're "far for you to go" and you'd land a job straightaway as a wine taste controller; no problem.!
And what's that 4 feet creation all about? Is it my birthday present? You shouldn't have, you really shouldn't!
Ooroo for now. Good perping, parping etc.

'

PS
what time does the Bash start, and do we need glasses for the fizz or will a straw each be ok ?( paper straws not plastic,of course) I have allowed us 1 bottle each. Is that ok ?

Looking forward to the sausage rolls...

Are we having an Aussie-style barbie? I could bring some tinnies - is XXXX or VB your preference Rufus? Although I must say I prefer a chilled Australian white or a Shiraz

Jalima1108; you of all people should know that an Aussie-style barbie isn't a barbie without bush flies!
And I went off beer from the fridge a long time ago when Spike Milligan described it as
"Cryogenic Mouth-Wash"
As I keep reminding anyone who cares to listen,a Shiraz, or even a Merlot is always acceptable.

Are you really going to sing "Advance Australia Fair"?
You'll be brave; standing (or maybe not!) on your own.
Hope you've got a good, strine-free voice, otherwise guests will be throwing pieces of birthday cake at you, especially if you've forgotten "girt by sea" and the rest.
And don't look to me to rescue you.
It's going to be a real hoot, but bopping is not for me; I've got a doctor's chit!
Ooroo

Well, apparently as a Thursday child I have far to go

Which is a tad unsettling far to go to what?
For what?
And how will I know when I get there?
Or, more worryingly ( is that a word) have I already been there and not realised it?

I think I’ll just concentrate on this birthday party and worry about mine in August. As you might have guessed, purely as a quality control issue, I have sampled the fizz just to be sure........

I was Monday so I "am fair of face" never was a truer word spoken, says she modestly??

It was my birthday 2 weeks ago. It largely went unnoticed so I'd love to join the knees up please??
I will bring chocolate vodka (any chocolate you fancy Rufus???).
And I make a mean sausage roll ?.
I will wear a beautiful dress I bought in Next, floaty in a gorgeous rust colour ?

rufus how will we recognise you?
Oopsadaisy53; At the rate you're going I doubt whether you'll be able to see anybody, let alone recognise them.

You can't be serious! Depends on whether any other Grandads are coming. If none then it would be dead easy if I could wear my birthday suit, but that's been ruled out for fear of starting a stampede.
I'll still be wearing it, but camouflaged by sackcloth and ashes if England crash.
Otherwise look for a tall handsome fair-haired (virtual) gentleman, what speaks proper like and not a hint of Strine! Yes, I've still got my own hair!
Only 2 sleeps left! The big match starts at midnight Saturday, so do I stay up to watch it"live" and risk spending Sunday slumped "non compos mentis' under the drinks table regardless of who wins.?
Not to worry, I'll be another year more mature and wiser.

BTW a Google search confirms I emerged into the world on a "Friday" and as we all know;
"Friday's Child is Loving and Giving" So True!
Ooroo and Good Health

I can't beleive I missed out on the germolene dress......just looked on sale pages and there are plenty more amazing styles to choose from . Can't wait for the party...I'll bring a "hedgehog" with cheese and pineapple on sticks

I shall wear a hat with corks around the edge. Nothing else - just that?. But first, in order to get enough corks, I will have to open a lot of bottles and drink the contents. Don’t wait for me - I could be some time!

Look forward to joining the party for my 83rd but there won't be any kicking up a storm as just recovering from hip replacememt. Luckily all going well.
