... to think that because I can't see a new IPOAT thread I should start one myself?

Especially as I want to wish CheerfulYank a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY for today. Hope you are having a lovely day.

And here is the patron saint of IPOAT playing Happy Birthday To CY!

What've I missed?

Hullygully · 18/05/2011 12:25

Hair, mostly. Big lustrous shiny posh hair.

Pagwatch · 18/05/2011 12:26

Nothing not waving.
We have just been killing time till you got here.

I am going to the meet up. Anyone else dusting off their crinolines ?

Hullygully · 18/05/2011 12:28

Paggy!

You devil.

notwavingjustironing · 18/05/2011 12:30

I live miles away somewhere grim. Meetup not really possible.

Just read up on the Olly comments. Those trailers really are a combination of ads for GHD/Lynx - in fact I'm surprised they're not sponsored. Missed a trick there.

Pagwatch · 18/05/2011 12:31

I am nervous actually. Pathetic huh.

I shall take pictures of my new fish in case the conversation lags.

Hullygully · 18/05/2011 12:33

Good for you. Wish I could go.

Next time.

Hullygully · 18/05/2011 12:33

not waving, I think that is quite brilliant. Go for it.

Honeydragon · 18/05/2011 12:35

Oooooh we have two new guppies, the yellow one is Cleggy and the blue on is Shiny Dave.....

I'm to scared to do a meet up, and haven't stalked investigated enough to find nearby mnetters.

Hullygully · 18/05/2011 12:36

I am a terrible, horrible coward. I am in awe of darling Paggy.

Pagwatch · 18/05/2011 12:36

Yes. Come next time. We can be scared together.
I have concerns about being the oldest in a bar full of pert young things - like barbra wins or waking up on the hollyoaks set.

I am tempted to do the full Margot . Not sure they are ready for a retro style overload though.

Hullygully · 18/05/2011 12:37

She will have to represent the whole of IPOAT. The responsibility.

notwavingjustironing · 18/05/2011 12:38

If the fishes aren't interesting enough to hold anyone's attention for more than, say 15 mins, or enough to break the ice, I could always UPS you a couple of hamsters or a guinea pig.

Pagwatch · 18/05/2011 12:38

Wins or.?
Windsor.

Grin at clergy and shiney Dave.

Dd went for whizzy whizzy mr whizzer, fishyfishyfishy and bob.

Hullygully · 18/05/2011 12:38

What about some wasps?

Hullygully · 18/05/2011 12:40

ds always wanted tortoises. He wanted to call them Tuffy and Lynette. I was going to get them just for th enames, but for the first FIVE YEARS of their little tortoisey lives that have to stay in a heated and lit aquarium and have constant care.

Pagwatch · 18/05/2011 12:40

Oh guinea pigs are good. I will bear that in mind.

I could take PenisDog but he is rubbish on escalators. And he would shit in the bar and then hully would never come to meet me ups

Hullygully · 18/05/2011 12:42

Maybe I'll sneak out of bday do and pop in briefly and anonymously in a long mac and sideburns.

Pagwatch · 18/05/2011 12:43

Oh do!

You could wear sideburns. Def.

Honeydragon · 18/05/2011 12:44

Ah well we also have

snail 1. Roy Snail 2: Shelldon

Butterfly Guppie: Will

Laser Guppie: Kermit

Shrimps: Harry and Hagrid

and a as yet unidentified or named baby snail that has just appeared from nowhere Hmm

I like fishyfishyfishy, Grin

notwavingjustironing · 18/05/2011 12:44

Wasps could create a buzz.....

Pagwatch · 18/05/2011 12:45

Roy the snail. Grin

Honeydragon · 18/05/2011 12:45

You used to be able to buy tortoises via post on Ebay. Fact.

PrincessFiorimonde · 18/05/2011 12:46

I thought you were going to the meet-up too, Hully? Or perhaps I just dreamt that. You are brave, Pag. I couldn't go, as I'd be bound to get drunk out of nerves and then go into motormouth mode.

HD, why Cleggy? Does he look like that fellow from Last of the Summer Wine?
