Sadly not. Do they usually let people who are scared of geese into such priveleged positions? If so, god help us if there's a war. Or if Al Qaeda start training waterfowl.

So would you jump and shriek like a girl if one were to suddenly brndish at you, for instance, a rubber duckie?

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Just asking like. Brandish.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Argh, where is the picture of the baby and the giant duck when you need it?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 14:48 (twenty-one years ago)

ha, matt's greatest fear: a girl approaching him with her pet goose, inviting him to grind.

not quite a duck but fond memories of this photo

Big action-packed day tomorrow; will deffo need some poncey booze. 18.15.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I like ducks, as a rule, but there is something not-nice, about the nipper's.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 19:33 (twenty-one years ago)

My greatest fear was actually discussed in the pub on Friday night. We all agreed it is very scary indeed.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

RJG, you like those horrible manky Kelvin ducks that stink of widdle.

An email sent literally moments ago:

Dear PF,

I propose meeting at 4 outside the FORBIDDEN PLANET opposite FREUD'S where I
am sure we will find somewhere suitable for a Chimps' Tea Party and then be
ready to pounce on an unsuspecting DASTOOR and JONES as they attempt to
sneak into FREUD'S for a gay tryst.

I am going to post this on the appropriate thread in case anyone else wants
to come. If you have any better ideas, mobile phone me (it will be switched
off if I'm anywhere poncey, but I will switch it on again later) and post
details on the appropriate thread in case anyone esle wants to come. Try to
discourage RIFF-RAFF.

PJM

watch out for the dalek

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:26 (twenty-one years ago)

And the big Hulk head.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:29 (twenty-one years ago)

ah, after rooting for the bar idea and suggesting the pub, i don't know if i'll make this or not. i'm now going to some fashion show and dinner and stuff. which sounds fun (free champagne and famous people to gawk at, maybe) but i'm also freaking out because what do i wear?!

so if it ends early enough, i'll come along to the pub. also, if the fashionable people laugh and point and i have to run away crying, i'll be there earlier.

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:37 (twenty-one years ago)

just wear what you wore in that photo on the latest WDYLL thread

― teh pow! (blueski), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah totally Colette! Rock on & stick your fingers up at any fashionista scum!!

― PinXorchiXoR (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:40 (twenty-one years ago)

er, i'd rather fade into the background so i can get drunk and hopefully be able to drool over chr1st1an sl47er...

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Work has returned, with great abruptness, to Normal and today that means leaving at 4:50 after a solid seven-point-five hammering away at D**e G****n's G*********k A*******e. So the PG Tips will have make like Lipton and go on ice. Plimpton. Trumpton.

I'll be swanning into Freda's nice and early though, with my own tankard and a half-crown for the juker.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I am (possibly!!) going to the GIM before this!

Bring yer nosepegs.

― Starry (hello chickens), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Kidnap random slebs and bring them to the FAP.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 08:55 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, ok. can you imagine how funny it would be if a load of famous people came down to the princess louise with me? ha.

i'll give it a try, though. it'll be a project for me to work on so i don't spend the whole time worrying about what i'm wearing.

i think i need anna or suzy to dress me! i'm so hopeless about fashion...

― colette (a2lette), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 09:01 (twenty-one years ago)

> D**e G****n's G*********k A*******e

need more letters...

ah, got it now. involves a very big number?

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 09:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Nah mate, that's 'plex' not 'whack' innit.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 09:33 (twenty-one years ago)

i was thinking of 10^100 (which is still pretty big as numbers go) rather than 10^(10^100)

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 10:11 (twenty-one years ago)

(plus it's spelt differently, something that i'd forgotten)

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 10:46 (twenty-one years ago)

As I said on my thread, I won't be available tonight, despite being in town, so enjoy yourselves, N et al.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 10:51 (twenty-one years ago)

g****ew***k always sounds more like surfing for p**n than looking for t*o w**ds that r****n just one r****t

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 11:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Colette, you always seem very well dressed to me. Then again, I'm about as far from being an expert on fashion as you can get and still know what clothes are.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 11:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Mike never talks rubbish, really. He is too talented for that. But like James Joyce, his talent can make him obscure to the uninitiated, at moments.

I love the Chimps' Tea Party motif, for some reason.

I like RJG's post. I always do!

It is going to be a struggle to make it to meet Miller.

― the bellefox, Wednesday, 22 September 2004 13:05 (twenty-one years ago)

colette's fashion sense has raised sky high ever since that day i gave her indie-rock clothing advice.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 13:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I fear the Pinefox has gone Too Far. By a Bridge. Or by a nose.

I may have a cocktail this evening. I expect it's too classy a place to employ double entendre like, say, the Cactus Cafe in Loughborough. I imagine they're called stuff like Snow Falling On CeBars or The Shawshank ReDrinktion.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 13:14 (twenty-one years ago)

> I expect it's too classy a place to employ double entendre

double entendres would fit perfectly with the name of the place.

― koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 13:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Its too much of a struggle - have fun alba and everybodee!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 13:31 (twenty-one years ago)

the trepidation has turned to anticipation.

― teh pow! (blueski), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 14:33 (twenty-one years ago)

The hour is at hand. I've got butterflies. I've also got Butterflies on VHS, but that won't get me a mineral water in this place.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

life is not, in any way, like a butterfly, i have come to realise. Wendy Craig should be shot.

― teh pow! (blueski), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 14:50 (twenty-one years ago)

This provides a neat link back to PJM's rocker pubs thread as WC is/was a daughter of Maidenhead and there's a glowing photo of her somewhere in a M'head shop window. Or maybe it's been sequestered.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

actually glowing?

― teh pow! (blueski), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean she was pissed in the picture. Or pregnant.

I'm joking, Wendy.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

It is LOVE that is like a butterfly, Stevem. Leave poor Wendy alone.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

(sorry butterflies set in cheltenham, for those of you who didn't know)

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

it was a typo Jerry, honest! and NO, NEVER...

― teh pow! (blueski), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 15:05 (twenty-one years ago)

yeh, hope you all have(having) a good time. wish i could be there to be honest, if i didnt live miles away.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 15:11 (twenty-one years ago)

If I could gatecrash any occasion, I think it would be this one.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 16:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Over Britney's tracksuit wedding??

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

We could combine the two.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 16:52 (twenty-one years ago)

You silver tongued minx!

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Dance with me, in shellsuits.
