Am I as invisible here as in real life? Grin

Yeah, about that. I’m not sure which Bay City Rollers I’ve got coming. It might be all of them. Apparently Les McKeown’s Bay City Rollers and the New Bay City Rollers “don’t get on”.

There could be a lot of Tartan flying around!
That's reminded me, we need bouncers!
How about ringing Hells Angels! 😀

< whispers to Honky, “what’s a respo thread?”>

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 10/08/2018 09:34

Hells Angels on security? Could work. Anyone got a number - and why??

HonkyWonkWoman · 10/08/2018 09:46

Respo thread was started by someone who had no responses to a thread.
A lot like this one actually! It's now on thread 62!

HonkyWonkWoman · 10/08/2018 09:49

Mmmmm! Could be a problem contacting them!
Hang on! Where's Schaden she used to be a biker!
And has the tattooo's to prove it!
Where has she got to???????

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 10/08/2018 09:54

Last time I saw Schaden she was off to the trench for a late night wee.

Nooooooooo!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 10/08/2018 10:17

surely we are all listening to Radio 2

BE QUIET

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 10/08/2018 10:22

It’s OK Schaden I scribbled it down with my face paint crayons.
Would you like me to do you a tiger?

SchadenfreudePersonified · 10/08/2018 10:30

My tattoos are works of art, I'll have you know! The vicar was particularly impressed with the skull with the viper crawling through one eyesocket and a blood-dripping dagger embedded in the other. He said that I was the most striking bride he had ever seen, and that having leather-jacketed ushers with bike chains was original and innovative, and made it the best behaved wedding he'd ever officiated at.

It was lovely . . . .

The sun through the stained glass window gleaming off the studs in their leathers . . . DH and the officer he was handcuffed to wearing matching black-eyes . . . the best mad almost sober but at least he was out on license . . . the flower girls preceding me up the aisle on the backs of their dads' Harleys . . . the bridesmaids in sling-back biker boots with every sequin individually attached by hand so that they looked like iridescent - er -iridescent things. (Mind you, millions of sequins fell off during the knife fight - the church looked as though someone had been gutting mackerel . . . ).

Weddings always make me cry . . .

SchadenfreudePersonified · 10/08/2018 10:31

*should read "best MAN", though it was Psycho Alan, so "best mad" does fit

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 10/08/2018 10:48

Sounds lovely, Schaden, and the flower girls - what an inspired touch!

< thinks own big shot wedding with wall to wall tv coverage seems a bit tame now >

Are any of your DH’s friends available for security duties? I think we should maybe go for a no knives policy unless anyone is very good at First Aid.

HonkyWonkWoman · 10/08/2018 10:49

You must have made a very scarey lovely bride Shaden! 🤣
Can you ask your Hells Angels Chapter to help with Security at our Festival. In case it all "kicks off"!
Nothing heavy handed, just a menacing presence should be ok!

HonkyWonkWoman · 10/08/2018 10:52

Oh! Sorry catfleas I see you've sorted it!!
Do you think we're ready for tomorrow then?

SchadenfreudePersonified · 10/08/2018 11:06

If Catfleas has any problems, I'll see if any of the "lads" are out of jail.

However she seems to have it sorted.

I was a lovely bride HonkyWonk

We didn't have a wedding video, but most of the carnage was captured by news cameras, so we have an eternal record of our Most Wonderful Day. The water cannon spoiled a couple of the bridesmaids' dresses, and getting eaten by a police horse is never good for a bouquet, but we thought things went off very well especially compared to Auntie Renee's do in Texas - whirlwind romance, what can I say? - of course, we don't keep guns in the house and that does make a difference . . .

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 10/08/2018 11:19

Think so. I’ve put a post card up in the village post office window with all the details. The post mistress says she’ll put the word around but could we please not come into the shop with no shoes on or she’ll lose her food certificate and she won’t be able to provide us with any of her “happy buns” whatever they are.

HonkyWonkWoman · 10/08/2018 11:58

Psycho Alan's just arrived! The rest of them will get here tonight!
We need lots of Tennants Super Strength to keep them happy!
Is it ok if they "bunk down" in yours brizzle they don't like getting their leathers damp!

Looks back fondly at Schaden’s wedding, ‘twas a beautiful day the police presence just added to the atmosphere & the sequins made for an interesting funeral the next day, the mourners shimmering in the sunlight made a nice change from the usual funereal black clothing.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 10/08/2018 13:29

I’ve had this flyer through the tent flap. This Kate person wants to set up a pop up wellness tipi in one of the far fields. She’s very anxious to know if anything toxic has been buried there. Any thoughts?

dontcallmelen · 10/08/2018 13:40

Hmmm that big hole you dug could be a problem, nah it will be fine that lake of Tennants super strength will mask the smell.

HonkyWonkWoman · 10/08/2018 15:57

Is this Kate person of a nervous disposition catfleas?

I'm just thinking would she be used to our type of Festival Folk.
I mean! Would she be ok with an hairy arsed biker wanting some Reiki?

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 10/08/2018 16:30

That is a good point Honky, plus she comes across as a bit ‘entitled’. On the other hand a queue of hairy arsed bikers in need of spiritual fulfilment may be right up her street.

I think we might all need a spot of Reiki after this weekend.

dontcallmelen · 10/08/2018 16:55

Dave from the White Swan rang, he said he has a nice hot air ballon we can borrow, so maybe we can bung her in that & she can hum along to ‘can’t let Maggie go’.

HonkyWonkWoman · 10/08/2018 16:57

I can't wait for it to start catfleas !

Btw! I've seen melen and Schaden today but where are all the others?
Even brizzle's missing!
Good news though, got another act arrived, a relative of yours I think, Cat Stevens!
