Well, what a day...

Some hazy recollections from last night are starting to come back to me ...I have a vague memory of @OfficallAnAwardWinningPoster hiding a trophy inside a policeman’s helmet and then making the goat wear it. Everything after that remains a blank...

H from Steps remained sparko on the patio until well past noon. Prodding him tentatively with the end of a tomato support cane revealed him to at least still be alive but my goodness, he fair turned the air blue. Who knew H was such a potty-mouth?

The donkey had to be winched out of the attic by rescue helicopter and the Mariachi band are still blotto from last night and have been repeatedly performing El Mariachi Loco at maximum volume. I also suspect illicit substances have been enjoyed, judging by the amount of snacks they’ve consumed. Before Coffee’s neighbours could collect their goat it was attacked by some crazy paramilitary type who parachuted into my garden, wrestled a trophy from its mouth and made off with it. The goat is traumatised which appears to have adversely affected its digestive system. Coffee’s neighbours have been quite sniffy about the whole thing.

A policeman turned up at the door an hour ago wanting his helmet back. I have to say law enforcement officers these days don’t seem to be overly endowed in the sense of humour department.

@OfficiallAnAwardWinningPoster - please return the dress ASAP. LadyGaGa wants it back pronto (something about needing it for the Rotary Club Socially Distant Cheese and Wine evening) and you know she can cut up a bit rough when she wants to.

(Makes me proud is a clue). Surprised noone's got it yet. This artist is usually spotted v quickly.
Possibly by honey, who might be hungover today

Brilliant, Babooshka. You certainly know how to party!

Slight problem re the dress....
The colour was just so pretty. I've used it to replace the curtains at Winner's View (my humble abode) and re-cover the sofa. And with the excess material, make beautiful toilet seat covers for all of our 7 toilets.
I'm sure La Gags will understand once you explain.

P.s. you should have shown the policeman some of coffee's videos. They'd probably have stripped off and danced for you.

Um, coffee. Not to give you a hard time after all your work and efforts, but we are in danger of running out of thread here....

@OfficiallAnAwardWinningPoster - thank you so much for saving and shining my trophy. Looking forward to you returning it, by parachute if necessary.

@OfficiallAnAwardWinningPoster Security have kindly offered to collect the extra trophies which have mysteriously turned up on your mantlepiece.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly - Both Donkey & the goat are now happily back in their field, thank you. Neighbour is fine, asked for an invite to the next awards ceremony. 😁

I’m not sure if these have been guessed @OfficiallAnAwardWinningPoster but apparently I’m always pipped to the post anyway (still fuming about that award because I’m bloody not!!)

I thought that I heard you laughing is REM’s Losing my religion.

Hot shot one is Kim Wilde - perhaps Kids in America

@OfficiallAnAwardWinningPoster. Think we may have a problem. Gaga just turned up on my doorstep for the dress. When I told her about your upcycling project she went white as a sheet. Turns out it wasn’t even her dress. She’d borrowed it from Kylie. When I said I was sure Kylie would be understanding she let out a hollow, maniacal laugh and said Your must be fucking joking. That sweet as honey act is just that - an act! No one messes with Minogue - everyone in the industry knows that!’

She’s hysterical - planning on skipping town and laying low until it all blows over.

H from Steps is trying to calm her down with a herbal tea and a Tunnocks tea cake. He’s really quite nice now he’s sobered up.

Sorry. Wine-induced daftness. Will get on to posting some lyrics shortly...

That was never Kylie’s dress. Her dresses finish about 2” below her arse. Gaga is telling porkies.

@Honeyroar That's good to hear 😊.

I think I've @'d everyone. Shiny, realised I spelt you wrong in the list after I'd posted so added you separately after.

@SingingBabooshkaBadly. I'm sure Gaga has the funds to get another one run up pretty sharpish & no one ever needs to know . . .

When you tag me I never get any notifications, so still can’t find the thread. Not sure if that’s just me.

@Honeyroar That's odd. I put you at the top of the list. I'll do a separate one. Otherwise it's in chat -

You are so funny, Babooshka.

I can report that security have been round. I found them deeply unpleasant to be honest. And a noticeable lack of dancing. After some words were exchanged (and I'll admit, it wasn't my finest hour) they have taken everyone's trophies away. They might have also found a dress hidden in my wardrobe that is quite similar to lady gaga's, and they've taken that too.

I'll see you guys on thread 11.

Thanks, coffee. Very efficient of you, as ever x

@CoffeeBeansGalore @Honeyroar I’m not sure you realise the seriousness of the situation.

@OfficiallAnAwardWinningPoster - you’d better get that dress back pronto. Gaga’s life depends on it. Probably all our lives.

See you all on thread 11 - that’s if Kylie doesn’t get to any of us first..

I didn't get the thread 11 message either, even though I'm tagged. I'm sure we'll all find each other!

As @CoffeeBeansGalore has said we can detour slightly I'm posting this 'disgraceful' early 90s one, which just popped into my head..
