The Reclaim The Forum Party

Avon - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 04-1 1 am:

Okay, at Jules' kind invitation I've just moved the party was planning down here from where it was under the Virtual Tim Tam break.  S0000oooo...
I've been shopping and laid in Pollywaffles, Lifesavers (the lollies - not the kind in clingy wet lycra) and Caramello Koala Bears.  I think Mrs. Chippy might have the Tim Tam situation under control.  Any UKers want to bring some Cornish pasties, clotted cream, plum bread, heavy cake, Welsh pancakes or low fat Devon custard? (I only go to the UK for the food!!!) Oh yeah - SHORTBREAD!!!!!!!!  Now who's handling the booze?  Julia/Hobbes - any chance of some fireworks?  Tiger nuts!!!!!!!!!  Damn!  I'll nip up to the corner shop. (And if you can't think why I want tiger nuts - well, it's not my fault if you have a pure mind)

Fancy dress?  Anyone fancy that?  I've got to get to wear my sergeant’s stripes one day, you know.

Maybe someone should alert the police?  Of course, we could just invite them. :0)

Hobbes - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 07:30 am:

Fireworks!  Wahey!!!!  I'm on the case.  Hmmm, with this stockpile I should be able to make something useful.

*BANG!* Uh oh..... Perhaps I shouldn't have lit that particular concoction so close to the wheelie bin...

*KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Well, no fireworks, will a bonfire do?  And don't get too close, those exploding ammunition cases can get real lively,

sisteranna - Saturday, June 17, 2000 07:32 am:

*phew* I made it!

What a fabulous excuse to pop on my new party dress and high heels

Have taken care of the alcoholic supplies cos I can mix a mean drink.  Cocktails anyone?  The Tony 0 look-a-like bartenders I've hired will be serving tequila and vodka slammers between midnight and dawn for anyone who's still standing.

Did anyone remember to organise the music???
Oh how I love a good party!
anna :)
*joining in the chorus of Reclaim the Forum*
PS. Can I invite someone special?  He can't resist the heels! *tee hee*


liz - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 07-.38 am:

If this doesn't post *this* time, I'm taking my chocolate caramel slice, and my bottle of gin and going home!

Hobbes and fireworks??  You'll find me hiding behind that beanbag over there!
Music?  Well Starstruck wanted to bring Donny Osmond!!
Chocolate covered nuts?  Oh how nice......       hmmm.
Party!  Party!  Party!
This is *our* forum.


cam - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 08:16am

Well, I've just been to a CD sale.  All Cds $10.
And I bought a 70s compilation.  So, I might just pop that in the CD player.
First song on Side One?  "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate.  And guess who I'm dedicating that to?!  Any requests?

So "Please Don't Go" (KC & The Sunshine Band)and "Dance Little Lady Dance" (Tina Charles)

Cam - your DJ for the night


liz - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 08:48 am:

They're selling Chris Deakin? *elbows everyone out of the way*, oh that's not the CD you
mean?
I'll just quietly drown my sorrows over here then!
I have 2 lots of 70's compilations.
'I Wanna Dance Wit Choo'Disco-Tex & The Sex-o-lettes next please.
Oh I do love a good party *hic*
Liz xx


cam - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 09:12 am:

Actually, "Let's Stick Together" (Bryan Ferry) is playing at the moment - which is rather significant given the state of forum at the moment.

Oh dear Liz, have another drink - someone's just posted a message saying Deakin is leaving. (More wine over here please!)

Cam


Phar Lap - Saturday, June 17, 2000 Ol.-56 pm:

YAH YAH YAH, I made it.  Where do you want the Stollies?  I have some tim tams also (thought they might get me in if it was invitation only)
Can I help with anything?  Serving drinks perhaps? (one for you and one for
me ... drowning sorrows about Russ leaving)
Can someone please put on the next CD, I can't work out this bloody CD player (hmmm too many stollies maybe??)


Starstruck - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 02:15 pm

I'd rather keep Donny Osmond to myself, if you don't mind Cam.  Is it safe to have fireworks in a tent, Hobbes?  If its true Deakin's leaving, the sparks may be flying already.
QT!!!!
Gill
PS What's a Stollie?


sisteranna - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 02-.20 pm:

Uh-oh, watch out, I'm in *full* party mode now.  Cam, do you have "When I grow up" by Garbage in- your collection?  "When I grow up, I'll be stable, when I grow up, I'll dance on tables" D'oh that's not how it goes, but it's a jolly good idea.
anna
*the completely crazy version*


sisteranna - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 02-.30 pm:

Stollie=Stolichnya Vodka and lemon mixer. Pretty good too but not as good as Cointreau, Lime and Soda or Absolut Citron Vodka, slice of lime, ice and lemonade.

No I'm not an alcoholic!!! We're having more of a personal research relationship

anna


Phar Lap - Saturday, June 17, 2000 - 02-.34 pm:

A Stollie is the bestest drink there is.  But be warned, you tend to drink them rather fast.
Can we have a taxi for Anna? She’s just thrown-up in the rose bush. and she’s lost a high heel!
Help me get her into one of the bean bags for now will you?


phar lap - Saturday, June 17, 2000 03:20 pm:

Just popped back in to get some drinks.  The girls in chat are thirsty and I have been chosen to carry the drinks tray. Anna’s staggering too much to be any help..."TAXI!"


sisteranna -  Saturday, June 17, 2000 03-29 pm:

To paraphrase-.  "it's a party, and I'll stagger if I want to!" Ohh there's my ride and he's soooooo good looking.  Help me find my heels please ;)


Wolfie -  Saturday, June 17, 2000 05-.23 pm:

*peeks into the party tent*
Woah, girls!  Getting into the swing of things?
:o)
quietly sneaks to a corner and watches the mayhem erupt around her...
Wolfie


Sophie - Saturday, June 17, 2000 08-03 pm:

*Joins in the party *


cam -  Sunday, June 18, 2000 - 02:19 am:

Hey phar lap - just make sure Anna doesn't throw up in the lavender or leilandi bushes.  They are sacred to CIJAH and sisters.  We've all rolled around in those bushes at one stage or another.
I'm playing "Devil Gate Drive' at the moment - does ANYBODY remember it?  And don't anyone say it "was before they were born"!!!!!
Cam


Avon am:

Wooohooo!!  I finally made it to the party I threw and thank all deities someone came!  And ANNA!!!! finally someone on this forum who has decent taste in music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Can I pop on a bit of The Blood Hound Gang?  Sorry, Sophie, but you might need to put your fingers in your ears, though.
*Wanders to the bar* Any champers and OJ?  Thanks, Anna.
Yeah a bonfire would be nice, Hobbes - can we have a guy?  What about some toasted marshmallows, or will they glow in the dark?

Gonna go and see what's on the video....
S.A.D? Oh, come on guys, I know this *is* the BoyDen but what about a little Boulton (yeah, yeah, I know they don't come in any other size) like Faith in the System?  Okay stop throwing chocolate covered nuts at me and I'll sit down.  I'm not too good at the shut up bit though!

Chrisl - Sunday, June 18, 2000 - 03:29 am: 

A party!!  What a good idea!!  Can I come in?  I've never been to the BoyDen before but it's looking great.  I like this marquee idea ... the canvas sides gently billowing in and out with the breeze ... these grassy floors just begging me to take of my shoes.  Does anyone mind if I do?  Ahh . that's better.  All this 70's music doesn't sound too bad either! (Yes, Sophie, I was very much alive when "Devil Gate Drive" came out.  Even now, if I close my eyes, I can see Suzie Q bellowing out the words to the ceiling).

Now, I do not come empty handed!  I've bought a case of Mudgee wine (purchased during a recent visit there) lots of chips (that's crisps for you UKers) AND plenty of salsa.  Is that enough to get me in?

Chris


Chrisl - Sunday, June 18, 2000 - 03:42 am:

Hello Avon!  Whoever that is throwing chocolate covered nuts at you is not giving chocolate the respect it deserves.  Here's some black jellybeans to throw back if you like. (Horrible things they are and only good for throwing at parties such as this).

Chris


avon -  Sunday, June 18, 2000 - 03:48 am:

You bet, Chris.  Thanks for coming!  I rnust have been alive for Devil Gate Drive but I sure don’t remember it.  Actually I'm planning to distract Cam with some of Liz's chocolate
caramel slice (which is absolutely delicious, Liz) and sneak something a bit more
grunge onto the CD player!  I grabbed some more chocolate covered sultanas while I was out so pass them around.

avon - Sunday, June 18, 2000 - 03:58am: 

Too true - in fact jelly beans make pretty good ammunition.  Just don't throw any at
Hobbes - that *would* be unwise'


Chrisl - Sunday, June 18, 2000 - 06:09 am:

Whew!  I don't know if it's the drink or all the ducking and weaving around these flying sultanas and jelly beans, but my head is starting to spin in the most pleasant of ways!
Chris


avon - Sunday, June8, 2000  9:09am:

Well, just don't fall over in the rosebushes - Anna's been sick there!  I must say this party proves two things for sure - neither the marquee or the temporary forum has fallen over
yet so both must be rather more durable than I thought. :0)

Hmmm... is it time for the trivia contest yet or the inaugral Matt BoyDen memorial mincepie throwing contest?  Hang on, I'm jusy going to go and ask Phar Lap for a stolly – I’ll try 
anything once, I think.
