WARNING

Don't forget your hard hat, hi-viz gear and parachute. We lost a careless vice-principal this way only last year.

::Faints at the mere suggestion of what might be under the floppy white shirt::

::Rouses self::

Or he might be thinking "Oh no! How can I tell Mother that a leather-clad ruffian has impaled her firescreen on his broadsword?"

I am sure Mother would soon perk up again when she gets a look at said leather-clad ruffian.

EEEEEWWWWWW!!!! Massive !

That's an image I really don't want in my head!

::Drags up her latest haul from the basement::

Massive!!

Home having my drink!! Trouble with working in evenings is that it perks me up and I should be sleeping but I'm not!

So budgie up make room for me and Porter. Mmmm melted marshmallows dipped in chocolate coated ......... fill in your own blank!

Mmmmm - who needs marshmallows?

I'm just looking at the song list for our works Christmas party (don't want to go on principle but it's karaoke which I love and haven't done for years)

They have

Clever vid though I am still without headphones so i couldn't check out the song. Poor Gizzy, he has a hard life, doesn't he?

Imagine the sensation if that vid came up on the screen, behind you, as you sang, Spiro.

had a hard life Massive. had a hard life before he met you and lady D!. Now he doesn't know whether he's coming or going!

Spiro - I've never done karaoke! What song was it as can't see on my phone!

I thought the visuals in that vid were very, ahem, moving for anyone with a predilection for unwashed, leather-clad, psychologically-damaged arsonists with homicidal tendencies (but comely withal).

And yes, these songs keep popping up in the most unexpected places. The Girl was complaining at bath time about a song she had heard on the telly ( I think it's being used in a trailer) which was "gross" and "just wrong". .

Obsession aka the 'beg' vid!

I thought that was going to be the BWWMD, Maud!

I don't think I've done karaoke since I got married (our first date was karaoke though!).

Any suggestions ladiez?!

Can I ask a spot if sensible advice ladies?

I've arranged for children to go to godparents next weekend so the colonel and I can go to his christmas work meal in november on Friday and stay over so we can both have a sneaky glass or two. But also we'll be half-way to his parents so we can go up on sat morn and stay til Sunday morn before coming back to get kids early afternoon.

But the colonel doesn't think it's a good idea. He thinks it would be weird to go up without children. I think it means he could talk properly to them about things without children being disruptive.

What do you think? I thought it would be nice for MIL to have chance to talk to colonel and I could give step-FIL some respite even if it was only for a day!

To be honest it will be so much easier for us not to go!

Can't see that maud - was it Sexy and you know it?? Vampboy and I were dancing to that round the kitchen yesterday morning. Man that boy has some good moves he's so going to bring home a boyfriend one day!!

Sensible advice? ::Breaks the habit of a lifetime:: Hmm. Could go either way, couldn't it? I think you're probably right that if serious conversations need to be had, it might well be easier if the children aren't there (and assuming that they will be happy with their godparents for an extra night). On the other hand, might it all seem too bleak without the children there? What do you think MiL would want?

I try not to post the BWWMD too often, for fear that some Academicians might have a paroxysm. .

I can see where both of you are coming from tbh, Vampy.

Do you/the Colonel need to spend time with them without the kids? Perhaps you should run it by them first (I don't think it's a bad idea at all - just wonder of it might put pressure on the situation iykwim?)

I do sympathise though - I only ever see my olds with DD in tow and it's so bloody hard to talk about anything without Miss S sticking her oar in.

As ever Maudie you're right. It could
Be horribly awkward - they are not my family which needs to talk everything through so perhaps we should just leave it!

What is BBWDJSNGYWJSV?!

I like the porter video ver ver ver muchly!

Spiro - I'm not sure what MiL thinks as she was so not really with it but step FIL seemed to like the idea when I suggested it buy the colonel has interpreted his reaction slightly less pleased than I did. To be honest I'd really rather not. I think it would be horribly awkward and would use our last free weekend before Christmas. We are going to see them in December for early Christmas when my BIL and family are over. I just want to do what's best for other people!! Wish I could be selfish and of think of me!! Be so much easier!!

[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-Tx4ifpXAY&NR=1 This is funny and doesn't require sound, for those without their earphones!]

::Klaxons sound. Everyone rushes to the deep shelter::

The BWWMD is the Barry White Weapon of Mass Destruction, so called because .

::Feels a little faint and swoons into Mr Thornton's manly embrace::

Drat.

I shall watch that video alone tomorrow then on the big pooter as my blooming phone won't play it!!

Probably ought to go sleeping now Tis late for me! Sleep well all - FRidAy tomorrow - almost the weekend!!

Do you mean the BWWMD?

That's the Barry White Weapon of Mass Destruction which I can't find but did turn up

Off to bed now - Bitey knight!

OK, 'twas the right one - too much Chateau Gizzy!

Night all and sweet dReAms!

Bitey Knight, Spiro and Vampy.

That Google vid is hilarious, Maud. Naturally, i would never do anything as immature and teenagery.
