AridaneStar...honesty isn't always the best policy, you should
could have just lied Grin.

Well if it wasn't AridaneStar, who the heck has done that portrait of me, then? Confused

Hey, AridaneStar go easy on those privileges...you're getting carried away again! Wink

Aridane, you found a picture of me too!
And you got my best side, too. Grin

picklemepopcorn · 12/02/2018 22:27

S'no good, you two, I'm cream crackered. My bed calls....

Night all.

I shall dream of HCBs. (x)

ArsenalsPlayingAtHome · 12/02/2018 22:30

Pickle thanks for the advice Star.

You're right, think I'd better lie low for a while...probably go for a totally different style

MNHQ, I've only just paid attention realised that the post that you deleted wasn't even offensive, and didn't break any guidelines as far as I can remember....and as you well know, it contained important, official business from HCBHQ Angry

MNHQ aren't playing by the rules, comrades, which is all good and tickety boo when it works in our favor, but is quite frankly not on when it doesn't.

HOTAngryBUN!!!!!!

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

What a difference a day makes, Comrades!

This time 24 hours ago, we were all riding high on the wave of euphoria.
We didn't just meet our targets, HCBers, we smashed them, .... DOTD ...pah...nailed it!....Trending ...you bet we were!

And yet, where... are.... we.... now?

Have we lost sight of who we are, and what we want to achieve?

I know I have, can somebody remind me? Grin

Ahem....

I suggest that those of us still awake syncronise watches, and set our alarms...for 04:00hrs....(Just get up at your normal time, no one will be any the wiser)

HCBers ....there are placards to paint, (banners to ...do whatever it is that you do to banners,) flasks of tea to prepare, and, Comrades, HOT....CROSS...BUNS to eat toast and butter!

Lets go forth and eat those HOT CROSS BUNS win the battle...whatever that is, whenever you've got enough time....and...erm....

Oh I was on a role then, pregnant pauses and everything, and then I got distracted by the thought of toasted HCBs with loads of butter and...you get the picture.

Goodnight trusted HCBERS

Sleep well, for tomorrow, we shall do it all again....xx HCB ( x )

Oi Aridane where's my pic? Sad

I've been primping all day.

ArsenalsPlayingAtHome · 12/02/2018 23:13

PS - have you seen how often those DOTD and Trending lists are updating now....Wink

(The irony is not lost on us, MNHQ!)

Be careful what you wish for, eh? Never a truer word! Hmm

OP posts:
ArsenalsPlayingAtHome · 12/02/2018 23:20

Charlie can you focus on the job in hand, even if none of us know what that is anymore?

Never mind primping!

If you haven't gone to bed yet, can I suggest you make an early start on your placard..unless you're on teas, in which case as you were.

The HCB monitor position is already eaten taken, by ...me I can't remember now!

dancingqueen345 · 12/02/2018 23:29

Are you all on crack? 😂😂

ArsenalsPlayingAtHome · 12/02/2018 23:29

I thought you'd all be pleased to know I've got a clipboard!

There are going to be some changes around here....namely that I will be carrying a clipboard, and that I'll be up all night making and then painting placards, which I will hand out in the morning.

AridaneStar any chance of you rummaging around in your collection tomorrow, and posting some images of placards, so that I can pretend I made them?

Thanks.

I'll post the tea emoticons make the tea in the morning. That just leaves the HCB to toast & butter and.......oh yeh...the banners....it's going to be a long night.

OP posts:
ArsenalsPlayingAtHome · 12/02/2018 23:31

DancingQueen Grin just grab that brush and paint pot, there's a love, and paint HCB on it would you, while I put the kettle on?

OP posts:
NoNoCharlieRascal · 12/02/2018 23:33

But I'm only primping to be HCBer worthy.

I'll take teas, if by teas you mean booze and by booze you mean opening a pub solely for HCB use and war planning. Quiche is not on the menu but there will be plenty of aroused sausages for all.

I will need to hire a mixologist though...who's in charge of staff and expenses?

ArsenalsPlayingAtHome · 12/02/2018 23:34

On the placard, you understand, not on the paint pot. Grin

TheSassyAssassin · 12/02/2018 23:35

Only posted once before but needed to leave you with my placard contribution before bed! Hopefully covers all vague
bases Smile

To park in a parent & child space because I can't walk properly in my high heels?
ArsenalsPlayingAtHome · 12/02/2018 23:40

Aroused sausages Grin

This is what I feared.....(I'm enjoying this role play ...pretending to be all disapproving and official - it's the clipboard what dunnit!)

I need to keep a tight grip on the proceedings (but not too tight or I'll have a mutiny on my hands, no doubt!)

And no, I don't mean a grip on the aroused sausage, Charlie!

OP posts:
ArsenalsPlayingAtHome · 12/02/2018 23:44

Sassy well done! Star

OP posts:
NoNoCharlieRascal · 12/02/2018 23:45

It's already aroused...no grip needed.

Now I really must go to bed, missile baby will be making his first launch soon. Night HCBers

ArsenalsPlayingAtHome · 12/02/2018 23:47

Night HCBers I've put the clipboard back in my desk drawer, and feel like my old self again now.

Grin

That's enough role play for one night!

ArsenalsPlayingAtHome · 12/02/2018 23:49

Pretty sure DancingQueen's done a runner with one of our placards and a pot of paint....Angry

I'll be seeing you, DancingQueen

OP posts:
TheSassyAssassin · 12/02/2018 23:52

Hmmm...yes...there is that possibility...but then if placards-a-go-go-HCB-march is tomorrow you might want to also factor in the tossing of pancakes onto unsuspecting bystanders! Sweet dreams Arsenal Smile

You too Sassy

NoNoCharlieRascal · 13/02/2018 00:09

Wait. Hold the phone. March? No one mentioned marching when I signed up for this! I'm not a marcher. More of a graceful pondering plodder.

AlpacaLypse · 13/02/2018 00:22

Due to being menopausal I am quite likely to be up and doing at about 4 am. Do you REALLY want me to try and bump this thread at that time of the morning? I do tend to talk twaddle at this time, my blood temperature is off into the stratosphere (or certainly feels like it) and frankly all I really want is to stand in a nice icy cold garden with zero clothes on and cool down. Very glad that we have no neighbours apart from her next door who I went to school with and is doing very similar...
