I have a good imagination; so I dont have to wait until Friday. Formal occasions lack humour; because broadcasters are afraid of the top brass. I cant loose my job Here goes, the ref has blown his whistle . their off....

" Its a blustery fine day outside the Abby. The big cars are starting to arrive. Out steps David Camerooney in his frock coat. To be fair to the PM it is more like a coat than a frock......

Elton John is runnag across the frontage. He shouts to the crowd "I am
still standing.". A wag shouts back " you will be sitting next to a foreign dictator,Elton." He chuckles and gallops towards the big doors."

Who is this? Its richard Branson , hes turned up in a Smart car. Security
have a word with him.....The police are controlling the crowd with a light touch....only one tazering.

This is amazing, a pitbull type dog is trying to have a pee against a parked Daimler. Security move in at a tremendous speed. Sections of the crowd
start woof-woofing. They are clearly dog lovers. Hope the dog does not do a number 1.....

Gabby Logan and the 5-Live crowd are here in force. Gabby is wearing
a pinkish tight-fitting gown with a cloche hat. Richard Bacon is dressed informally; string tie and suede shoes....enough about them.

Rumours are flying about Kates frock. It is said to be green, and more like a dress than the Prime Ministers frock coat.

A security man approaches me. Says where are you from Sir...I reply
Mumsnet my man...he trembles and walks away. Wife and 3 kids to support. Bless him.

An enormous car arrives....Ed Miliband pops out. Stroking his nose tenderly. Some in the crowd smile and wave. Ed waves back...and disappears. (MI5, I suppose.)

Its starting to rain just a shower. William Winsor pops out and shouts "Chaps and chappesses we are suspending the event until the shower passes."

I reach for my flask pleased of the break. No sweat , its only a shower...
Normals service will be resumed

Ooh how a Gabby thread cheers me up Grin

makes a refreshing change from the tedious endless MIL threads

QuelleLeJeff · 28/04/2011 11:46

Hello Gabby, old bean. You really made me laugh with Richard Bacon wearing a string tie and suede shoes.

QuelleLeJeff · 28/04/2011 11:47

Oh and I'm so sorry to hear about the cancer Gabby. I truly am.

GabbyLagoon · 28/04/2011 11:55

Tether... there were top negotians with a head honcho. I agreed to keep it confidential. These things happen when things hot up. No harm done.

there was a bit of press interest in my fun wedding report. It needs finishing later. ICamerons frock coat is more like a coat than a frock cheers

In all seriousness, I'd quite like Graham Norton to do a Eurovision-style commentary as an alternative.

simara · 28/04/2011 12:09

There's a petition on Facebook for Chris Kamara to commentate on the royal wedding, now that is something I would like to see.

TheReturnoftheSmartArse · 28/04/2011 12:13

Unfortunately, I don't know who Chris Kamara is. I'm probably too old or something. Off to Google ...

TheReturnoftheSmartArse · 28/04/2011 12:14

Ah. I see. Although I have never heard of him [cblush]

I think I'd still prefer Graham Norton.

Chil1234 · 28/04/2011 12:23

As ever, anyone daring to suggest that Gabby makes no sense is immediately attacked in the most insulting and bizarre manner. My opinion of you Gabbyloggon is based on the utter rubbish you write and has nothing to do with politics whatsoever. You're not 'funny' or even 'fun'. If you don't like criticism, stop posting crap. But don't stoop to irrelvant and personal insults like suggesting I inscribe things on my arse.

BTW anyone who things 'Gabby' is a harmless old bloke with cancer should think again because none of it's true. From the vitriol and lies he sends my way I can assure you he's an extremely nasty, misogynistic, deluded piece of work and deserves to be given a wide berth.

QuelleLeJeff · 28/04/2011 12:29

Are you accusing him of sending you hateful PM's?

Chil1234 · 28/04/2011 12:32

I have very good reasons for not thinking the man is as harmless as he cracks on and I shall leave it at that.

QuelleLeJeff · 28/04/2011 12:34

Oh this is bad. I think you need to either spit it out or retract it TBH.

This is bad form Chil and you know it. Bad Form. If he has been sending you inappropriate PM's then you need to report it and he will be banned - you know that.

TethersEnd · 28/04/2011 17:44

I'm so curious I might burst.

JamieAgain · 28/04/2011 17:47

Chil - report then. I know we've discussed this before

JamieAgain · 28/04/2011 17:48

Quelle - I thought there was someone talking uncommonly good sense on the other thread. Why the name change? Was attached to ShirleyKnot

HairyBeaver · 28/04/2011 17:58

LOL that story didn't even make sense! Fruitloop alert

catchmeifyoucan · 28/04/2011 18:07

Agrees with chil. Gabby is about as funny as stepping in fresh cat shit and that, trust me, is never funny.

QuelleLeJeff · 28/04/2011 18:18

I like a change now and again Jamie (is that YOU Jamie?)

I'm going to have to retire Shirls soon I think. My children know I am she and that makes me more than a little uncomfortable!

JamieAgain · 28/04/2011 20:56

It's me.

And I quite understand

ScousyFogarty · 26/05/2011 20:54

wHO ARE THESE GEEZERS? They sound like posters from a distant past Ships that passed in the night
