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.

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.

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...

> 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.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

how odd, i was just discussing cheltenham in the office then i click on this thread...

...hey! it's COCKTAIL TIME!!

― 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.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:01 (twenty-one years ago)

no heavy petting and no flammable clothes, on the dancefloor.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:15 (twenty-one years ago)

It's a cotton-lamb's wool mix. (I would bloody love a night on Renfrew Street eating those indian chicken things out of a paper bag. I'll have to try Glasgow more. Again)

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 19:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a funny feeling that Christina Slater may have turned up for Alba's drinks...

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 19:40 (twenty-one years ago)

No, it was actually funnier than that, who turned up.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 19:48 (twenty-one years ago)

you can't say that and not tell us

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 19:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I think she might just have :-(

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 19:50 (twenty-one years ago)

To confirm - Christian Slater was in A pub in London but alas perhaps not THE pub. I was hoping against hope that he might have been posting under 'The Pinefox' all the while...

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

No, let someone else much more drunk than me come back and tell tales! Also someone else gets a turn to drop names this time, and I am knackered.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Ok, but this had better be good after you whetting our appetities for intrigue!!

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 20:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Also it happened at Freuds and not that office-bod pub.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 20:02 (twenty-one years ago)

It wasn't me.

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

You're feeding us crumbs, lady!!

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Was it you in disguise?

― Lara (Lara), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 20:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Why would Suzy disguise herself?

― Ally C (Ally C), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 20:06 (twenty-one years ago)

The four individuals concerned haven't been seen 'as four' in quite some time. I think they were trying to have a discreet drink with their manager in tow (which I hope they didn't think I would write about, that's how they know me). That's the exciting newsworthy bit - and it was good to see them out. One of them bought me a Japanese Slipper drink and we caught up on married friends, friends with kids, all that.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 20:17 (twenty-one years ago)

BOYZONE. I fucking knew it!

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

If it's not them, it's definitely Showaddywaddy.

― Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 20:32 (twenty-one years ago)
