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.

Kazzer you will miss all the fun, it is this Sunday the 8th.

Oopsadaisy53 Fri 06-Jul-18 11:53:22

rufus how will we recognise you?

annsixty Fri 06-Jul-18 11:52:11

How could I forget for a lovely summer day.
I have ordered gallons of Pimms and fruity bits and "lashings of lemonade".
That might keep us sober for a bit longer.?

Count me in! Beats the world cup! And no washing up! Look forward to raucous laughter, music, singing (not mine), dancing (not falling over!), mayhem and merriment! Never mind the neighbours! Can our rescue choccy Labrador 7 month old puppy join in too? You are all a great bunch of guys and gals! Roll on 12 July!

I don’t have a birthday in July, but I’m coming. I love a good ? ? ? party. I’ll bring some more fizz, there can never be enough of the stuff, especially with all you lot around. I’m going to wear my bestest dress and highest heels, but I’ll take them off for the conga, ‘cause of me bunion!!

lovebeigecardigans1955 Fri 06-Jul-18 11:15:28

I hope there's cake. I'm not coming unless there's cake.

luluaugust Fri 06-Jul-18 10:42:55

Hang on - wait for me! I have found my large D of Cornwall hat and heels I can't walk in - where is the champagne? Just off to knock up a Pavlova, hang on isn't it virtual Winter maybe a jam roly poly confused

I shall wear leather look leggings and a very sparkly top with lots of feathers - zebra skin looooooooong boots and a tiara. (I know, I know I will look very classy but then I always do!!) My daughter bought me the tiara for my birthday last week and I wore it all day (it says Happy Birthday and gave me a headache 'cos it's tight but I will suffer, again, for our GN's party). I don't know what food to bring. Will Spam sandwiches be ok?

Jalima1108 Fri 06-Jul-18 10:24:21

So many birthdays to celebrate at one big party!!
I can't wait - happy birthday to all (hic)

GrannyGravy13 Fri 06-Jul-18 10:21:52

I am another July Birthday ?????????

I have several bottles of pink fizz and shall be making a Mediterranean cous cous salad.

I shall decorate my orthopaedic boot and throw on something sparkly.

I get the impression that no one throws a party like us gransnetters ????????????????

GG PS, the Rufus Sewell stuff is just wild speculation. The rest is of course completely serious….

Blinko Fri 06-Jul-18 10:20:26

GabriellaG, Rufus2 is a GN member who hails from the antipodes. Apart from that info, I think the OP says it all. What's not to like? grin

Jalima1108 Fri 06-Jul-18 10:17:01

NanKate, you’re dicing with death approaching Rufus Sewell. He belongs to another.....
Yes - ME!! I did claim him first

Jalima1108 Fri 06-Jul-18 10:15:39

Yes please - count me in!

I am busily running up a little number from the Australian flag (I'll make one for Rufus too, if he wants to wear it - perhaps like a toga?).

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 myself.
Pavlova for dessert anyone?

Not God Save the Queen please - I'll be croaking singing Advance Australia Fair.

Can't wait - 91! hope you're still bopping Rufus

Rosina Fri 06-Jul-18 10:12:11

My Royal Albert china will go nicely with Oopsadaisy's cake - and I will DANCE!! Happy Birthday to all in July.xx

Oopsadaisy53 Fri 06-Jul-18 10:02:33

This is one I prepp, perp, parp, made hic! earlier. It’s 4 feet tall do you think it will be big enuf?

newnanny Fri 06-Jul-18 09:58:35

I will bring some birthday balloons and weights to hold them down and a very large tub of ice cream in case it is still hot.

I shall wear a very thin cotton dress in greens and blues printed as it is the coolest thing I own.

Happy birthday to all July birthdays and I like your dress Eglantine.

Oopsadaisy53 Fri 06-Jul-18 09:58:10

I’m trying to make you a speshul cek hic!..... soz Roooofuz

cwasin Fri 06-Jul-18 09:57:44

Yahoo, I LOVE a party. I’m rooting out my fringed shirt, bull whip and cowgirl hat. I’m bringing Plymouth gin and plenty of mixers. Ha, mixers. NOT. Get your Cuban heeled boots on Rufus2, we’re going to parrrrtayyyyy. Whoop whoop!

Jane10 Fri 06-Jul-18 09:46:05

I've tried and tried to post a pic of me in my delightful post surgical TED stockings but obviously GNs settings regard such photographs as pornography and refuse to upload it. Probably for the best. I'm not sure anyone's blood pressure could have coped. Oh well. I tried.

GabriellaG Fri 06-Jul-18 09:42:07

What on earth is that about? Who is Rufus2?

Blinko Fri 06-Jul-18 09:39:58

Another for the music list: Let's Twist Again, Chubby Checker. No imitations will do!

grove1234 Fri 06-Jul-18 09:38:12

Me in slinky lbd v high heeled prada,s exceptional brandy attending Chauffeur and PA to be on hand if required .
What fun .

Rufus2 Fri 06-Jul-18 09:12:50

I knocked you up a quick sponge do you like it?

Oopsadaisy53; Looks delicious! Not too fattening I hope, but you can't have too much virtual sponge anyway and who cares?
Does the birthday boy get one too? grin
Cheers and Good Health
