TONIGHT AT 6.30
Starts from portishead.
Bring winecupcake
Decide what you are going to do to entertain us!

STRICTLY NO dog/cats called Donald or any other name!

I'm bringing my very own torch!! It usually lives in the shed, but I know you'll all be very impressed with it; you will never lose your way in the dark with this. DH says it's a flashlight and seemed to snigger when I said I was taking it to an Olympic torch party. But what does he know? Anyone who talks in his sleep is not truly with it.

It really does have a very strong beam It reminds me of Torchy - "Torchy,Torchy, the battery boy". I shall tie it on to my broomstick helmet and head for Portiswhatsis very soon. Just having a quick wine or two to set me up.

Careful you don't get arrested for being drunk in charge of a broomstick, Ariadne!

I have sold mine on e-bay to solve the euro crisis, so I will send my best wishes.

jeni Fri 25-May-12 18:05:07

I'm just over to Wales to nick borrow the torch! I'm taking my fil's old prewar genuine miners lamp complete with tally to bring the flame back in!
My new rollsroyce. Engine propelled broomstick should bring me back in time! See you all later.

Make sure you are fit enough at the end of the party to bring the torch back - needed up this stretch of the woods ( or mountains) tomorrow - the decorations are out ready.

nanaej Fri 25-May-12 18:13:35

Had a Davey lamp once..might still be in the shed.. I'll be with you once I've found it and the broomstick (note to self..tidy the shed!)grin

jeni Fri 25-May-12 18:31:36

Ok! Clear the runway! Have you got your flags ready to wave at me?

Coming in to land

NOW!

I'm on the ground and doing a (virtual) jog towards you with inane grin on face and waving frantically,

How am I doing this with two crutches?confused

nanaej Fri 25-May-12 18:36:31

Whoo hoo! great landing..good use of crutches as wing balances! grin

jeni Fri 25-May-12 18:41:55

Bit like the things on the harrier jump jet!
Right, pass me a vodka jelly, then we need to find out where we're going next?

jeni Fri 25-May-12 18:52:22

Ok that's better now!
nanaej I'm formally handing the torch to you! Where are we going, just give me the coordinates so I can set my satnav and I'll follow behind!
We'll pick up the others as we go around.

Bez Fri 25-May-12 18:57:01

jeni Fri 25-May-12 19:00:24

Bez Fri 25-May-12 19:07:47

Lots of athletic looking chaps in Coopers Field - got a lot of music going too - I have a 20 litre box of red ready- bring your own glass .

jeni Fri 25-May-12 19:44:05

I'm here with glass at ready!

glassortwo Fri 25-May-12 19:46:16

Sorry I'm late the mixing of the cocktail took longer than I thought.

Then the broomstick kept moving to the left when I tried to climb on, hmm and I have a bruised bum with falling off, I tied it to the garden bench till I climbed on but when it took it the bench came with us and it fell on some poor man I as I went over the A1, I could hear sirens but I just put my foot down, its a bit early for a visit from our boys in blue hmm

Any one like to try my Orange Mojito mmmm

jeni Fri 25-May-12 19:53:15

[yes please! grin I hope your bum is ok! It's tricky riding with that!
Would you do better lriding sidesaddle like the queen used to at the troing of the colour?

glassortwo Fri 25-May-12 19:57:39

How many you had already jeni grin

Tried side saddle but my golden cape and silver ball gown kept getting in the way... what do you think of my bronze tiara, thought I would come in the medal colours.

Hope that Donald does not appear and pee on my gown.

Anagram Fri 25-May-12 20:01:30

It's DUNCAN!! How many more times? hmm

glassortwo Fri 25-May-12 20:03:57

Anagram Fri 25-May-12 20:05:39

If you keep calling him Donald, I can't be responsible for his actions, green!
