It has been suggested that we hold an UnChristmas Party .Dan our man permitting of course. Date to be arranged maybe next week-end??????
Anyone interested????Volunteers will as usual be needed for the bar, putting up decorations,food and it will of course be bring a bottle and tip it into the barrel for a Punch Mixture.
i unfortunately will be unable to supply my usual supper(Budgiburgers as those of you who know me will understand) however i will be supplying Mince pies UNxmas cake and other delights.Dottie p will get in touch with the Firepersons as her usual.oh! any men who could do a Barbie???
Venue will of course be The Shed.
Bagsey I doing the deccys.. Now where am I going to get mistletoe at this time of the year ??? ;)Blow the mistletoe :-* who needs it anyway :-* :-* :-*
Are you sending out invitations or is it open house? I can't sing by the way, does that make a difference? :-[
Boys are up for it! Could get Kareokee (Ok I know I can't spell it!!) I have a Christmas pud lurking in the back of my cupboard! Have got some spare tinsel n tacky stuff we can decorate the shed with. Does anyone have the whole series of Only Fools and Horses that we could have running?
just need to decide on a date!
Iv got some christmas crackers left over from last year.
At least i can pull them if i can`t pull a nice chap ;D ;D.
what about friday night?????.
Go on then mimi .Wicker as long as ya can hum a bit and Dottie yes by all means!Any more volunteers and dates please. Wicker this IS the invitation.
How about the 9th or 10th July? Any takers?
Notice Google have volunteered to supply the refreshments. Their speciality seems to be meat pies and Scottish Beef. ;D busy_lizzie
BB I won't take it personally that you think I hum - sure that would need super sensitive cyber connection to let you be aware of that way down in Yorkshire. Need to think what I can contribute,thinking aloud mode on Will I bring bagpipes, haggis and clapshot, wear a kilt thinking aloud mode off oh so much to think about.
the 9th or 10 th good for me........i'll just come n watch as usual being the shy type.......should we have a theme?
As its summer....suggest Carry on Camping ........or perhaps Carry on films per se.
.......OOOOOh Maatron!....
Infamy ,Infamy ...........they've all got it in for me !!
I could bring the tiffin !!
Really love the idea but any chance of makiing it a bit later, say august, just not enough time scale for me! Feel a bit wimpish cause don't have kidddiwinks but just feel need a bit more time to organise it cause of work and such like! Got plans for July and can't manage it, am I a killjoy or what?
July should be ok for me.. Found loads of tacky deccys in spare bedroom after a tidy up yesterday. Even got a bit of plastic mistletoe ;D Now ...... what to wear???? can it be fancy dress or is lottie atire a must? Decisions decisions. :D ;)
THANKYOU RR what a good idea.Carry on Camping will be the theme as JULY is most popular Saturday the 10th it will be.Most people at the pub Friday anyways.Dress optional but must be worn:-Not by the men of course "silly me" Off to my usual Car Boot sale .Party mode in full swing .Watch this space.Now then i have 6 suggestions for tents already but lets see what Dan says before we get too excited can someone get in touch with him and let me know please.Firework Grand Finale oh yes love that idea.Still no men volunteered to do the Barbecue .Come on all you gardening chaps surely some of you can cook.
before anyone else grabs the part.......I'm the Babs Windsor ..... now who's being Kenneth Williams?
Actually think i'd better check that out first before flinging my bra in his face !!
;D ;D :o ::)
I can cook, quite a jamie oliver in the kitchen. except no nakedness. I'll man the barbecue, tell me the place, time and date and I'll give it a shot.
TrailRat
;D RR yeah you best check who kenneth is cos you dont want to make the poor man faint with shock :o A party sounds great fun and love the idea of the carry on theme just got to think who to be now suggestions on a postcard please ;)
Ann-Marie :-*
Trailrat, it's OK we will let you wear an apron! ;D :o We could always bring tents and camp the night for those of us that can't afford a taxi home! (tho whose plot is empty so we can pitch them?) Then we can do bacon n eggs in the morning!
I can come as the matron....hmmm not too flattering with me wellies, or a nice nurse!
What we need is some nice young junior dr's!
I'd let you play with my stethoscope doris :o but my partner might object. Thanks for the apron suggestion tho, i think it would be a good idea as I don't like burnt offerings. ;D :o
TrailRat
OOOOO Can I be matron... The way promotion is going at my hospital it is going to be the only chance I ever get.. ;D Am eating my way through a pizza now to 'bulk' up to a 52DD. No have to think about the daughters wedding... can I wear a padded bra???????
Flower .....you could be Joan Sims......eating garlic in bed with Sid James, as Henry VIII, ....
Now we need volunteers for Sid !!
.........Carry On............
Ok !Received the go ahead from Dan Our Man,think he'd like the place cleaning up before the Evening session of" Chat "so told him no problem there.As long as it isn't me that has to do it.Now then Wicker as you admit not to being able to sing think that you could be in charge of music??About this Clapshot stuff never heard of it i'm afraid but if it's something to do with men in Kilts can you bring a dozen assorted??
TENTS:-there will be several(all donated by CON)Flower tent:- in which bloomers will be shown Flower would you take charge?Beer tent:-now who could anyone suggest for being in charge of this i wonder(i'm saying nothing here)but one or two spring to mind.Jethro has volunteered to man a Tent to show his intentions....sorry misspelt that one inventions in.If Ken Kew's around what about doing us a few Odes ?.EJ can be relied upon to show her Exotics i'm sure (not the Diamond studded Wellies again EJ please)i'm sure you can get Ava to buy you a cheaper pair ......made my woolworths ones look a bit shoddy at last Party they did.
The Fireworks Finale will be Budgiebreeder and Fingle having another go at each other regarding the posting of pictures...only in a mud ring this time side bets to be taken .Eric you 're good at keeping books aren't you??
COme back Hugh all is forgiven.................
Just let me know the date and you can count me in. I love a good Cyberparty!!
Does anyone remember the REAL christmas party we had. I do (just! ;D) Thing got a bit mad there didnt they?
yeah i will be joan simms nice one RR ;D ;D
If the Fireperson that you were draped round all night Richard F could hear that, i'm sure she would be most offended.Never seen such goings on i hadn't.Tut Tut.
July the 10th is the date, time yet to be arranged.By the way Dottie is in charge of Firepersons INvited if you have anyone in mind.Say no more nudge ,nudge ,wink, wink.
July the 10th - D*mn! Probably be going away that day - for a whole week!
Cant we make it a week earlier?
Oooooooh, what would I give for web cams all round!! Talk about fantasies coming true - well not really but got to make the best of what you've got to hand so to speak.
Sorry BB clapshot is to eat - tatties and neeps mashed together but maybe could get a nice muscular pipe band to bring it in with the leader carrying a bowl of steaming clapshot instead of tossing his mace?? would you like?
Never watch Carry On films but willing to learn... always willing to learn.....
My ,my my what a good idea .Trust that you'll organise it then Wicker MMMMMm Pipe Band, Doctors ,Nurses,Firefighters Gardeners mmmmmmm.
Have been trying to get some groups for the party, being a lottie one decided that Mud, Wet Wet Wet, and Savage garden was out!! Blackeyed peas and Rainbow would be ok...Platters for the food and Rolling Stones for the games. Not sure If I should leave Temptations out? Drifters might pop in, ah well :-*
Couchgrass and bindweed effigies for bonfire would be nice
Ricky :-* ::)
Hey Ricky, how about the Red Hot Chillie Peppers?? ;D
8) 8) ??? :-* :o :o :o.Righty ho then ! Nearly all organised ! July the 10TH. Venue yet to be decided Shed or Chat? will be posted nearer the time of Do Jethro's inventions will be on view to all interested. Doris as always will organise the Firepersons she does it so well!Mimi is in charge of decorations .Ricky is organising the Groupies ,sorry meant Group.Wicker the music but has also said she will bring a Pipe Band.Personally cant wait for that myself ......all those men in Kilts .Trailrat has very kindly offered to do the BBQ.needs a nApron dont know why.??????Flower ...Joan Simms Mimi ....Matron .PLease would some one take over the casting of roles as without Hugh we are lost
It goes without saying that anyone helping to organise has the perk of First Pick of Fire fighter/Band person.(Mines OK but i don't rate yours much.)
Any further suggestions please.
I'm not up on Carry On films very much but if I could be another character could I be "Weeeeeeeeed" and then there's the possibility of a Bill and Ben to accompany me??!! ::) Of course BB you'll have sussed that if it's in Chat Weed just says "weeeeed weeeeed" ;)
:D ;D :o :o :oI'm shocked at you Mrs.Wicker ,bit greedy i think that .Wont i man do???????? and you a married lady of so many years.Bill And Ben indeed the mind boggles.TUT TUT is all i can say..
Great idea for a party!Can I come?
I am amazed no-one has yet broached the subject of BOOZE!
However i have the the problem SOLVED!
I am in possession of one of the few remaining copies of the original "Harburn Alcoholic Punch "recipes.
I am not surprised at the gasps and faintings amongst you!
I am prepared,this once only,to reveal this sought after and mythical formula to the regulars of this forum!
We can all prepare our vats and bring them to the party to ensure its absolute success!
The recipe is printed out in the recipes4all forum,a sadly neglected board of infinite quality,the haunt of a select few food geniuses.
See you there, Toots ;D :P
This all reminds me of my sister. Shes a dancer on one of the holiday parks. In her first year all the staff decided to have a Christmas party in July as they wouldn't be together at Christmas. As I lived nearer than any of the other relatives she made me drive 2 hours to get to her with all my Xmas decs
I shall have to get a VIP pass from Ava as Saturday nights are a cyber no-go in this house. However, tis a special occassion, and I do have a nice tan to show off after our hols, and I have traded in my diamond studded wellies for a pair of rubber sling backs. Mind you, what to bring, have guzzled all the sloe gin and elderflower cordial.
I still have some Sloe Gin I can be bribed/persuaded to bring! Also have homebrew apple, and some elderberry. ;D
Is the party a go-go, if so I'll have to hire a room out to stop you all roaming the corridors !
Cheers
Dan
Dan the party is definately a go! Can we hire the hall from about 2ish so we can get in early to decorate, put up tables etc!! ;D
:o :oYes it 's on Dan will you ever stop PPl wandering the corridors?Who was it vanished for quite sometime at the last one.I'm saying nothing but a certain Fireperson was absent at the same time.Really better decorum at this one please.
Has anyone compiled a list of who's coming as what?I may be a bit late attending but attend i will.Save me one in a Kilt Doris please.
Will come in me strappy little number.very relieved EJ's not coming in them Diamond studded Wellies again.
Oooh a fireman, a kilt, :o sounds very interesting, please tell me how the un-christmas party works, you will need to spell it out as I am blonde and dumb you know!
Update: Don't worry, stumbled across one of the old parties, have a pretty good idea how it works now. Have to go and find something to wear!
If it's the 10th then I'll have to do some quick alterations to my plans. My mummy arrives in Amsterdam on the 11th and I was going to spend the 10th roaming the city.....ah!...Who needs a week-end in Amsterdam anyway?
I can play the gob-organ after a cup of hic-up or two, been know to play on the linolium too....never been slapped with a bra before, tho! Are polaroid cam's allowed?
Was going to bring my digicam Ken, and catch everyone on film! If I get any goodies I shall post em on this site! ;D
Hi y'all!
Perhaps the Rockin' Berries could help with the tunes...well, for those of us with sufficiently long memories!
As this is clearly an 'A' (for allotment) list event, maybe some celebs will pop in and get in the groove - Russell Crow, Jasper Carrot and Mr Bean and to name a few!
AC x
I'd like to nominate Allot-Chick as Fruit&veg Celeb gatherer. There must be more of 'em willing to give a little of their thyme to such a good cause?
Hey dont forget the Cranberries and the Red Hot Chiilies. ;D
I don't want to dampen the the non-festive spirit, but due to the death of my brother last night, (who lives in the UK) I'm afraid I have to bow out of the ceremony. I'll be thinking of you all; have a nice time. Ken.
So sorry to hear that Ken.
Our thoughts are with you Ken.
Roy
Ken there's nothing I can say is there?
Sending you my love and sympathy.
Take care.
Eileen.
My condolences to all the family.
Ken, love to you and your family.
So sorry Ken,my very best wishes.
Toots
sending u cyber hugs ken and am so sorry to hear your sad news
Ann-Marie
Ken, spent yesterday at my sister=in=laws funeral so my thoughts are with you and your family.
So sorry Ken. Mark and I are thinking of you at this saddest of times.
Dear Ken so sorry to hear about your brother. My sincere heartfelt
sympathy to you and yours. Bless you. Mary.
Many thanks for your thoughts everyone. Mine are with my mother at this time, she's 82.

Hello everyone,
just a quick note to say thanks for the unchristmas party.sorry i turned up a bit late and rather worse for wear!
Anyway the top and bottom of it is...You ARE ALL a great bunch-so cheers and all the Very best for the future
Sincere Best Wishes-marky.xxxx.
:D :D No probs MarkyB can you remember if you enjoyed yourself???
Took me 2 days to crawl out of my bed from the party! remember dropping EJ off in the taxi, couple of my firemen in tow, and thats where it all go's a bit hazy!
Monday morning I wake up feeling decidedly off colour! (knew I ate too may slug appetisers) And I seem to have aquired a nice helmet, (could be handy to grow something in) and 12 foot of hose! (well, need a sprinkler system) Roll on the next party!! ;D
Glutton for punishment you are Doris. :o :o :o
I think it's time to end the party threads - I'm sure there will be another soon !
Cheers
Dan
