Come party!!

well, i am being even more of a sap and bringing my man to ensure I make the last train home as support.

I expect him to mingle though. I will have him briefed on TerryWogansCock and everything.

Hmm.
I am suspicious that you are plus one-ing to have snogging partners.
Very sneaky.

Your DH is a very brave man Eggy. Very brave. He may never let you go on MN again after Saturday.

do i get to snog reality?

hopeful

Eggy, he is a brave sort.
Is he really sure what he has let himself in for?

Dh has very little faith in my getting the train.

He thinks he is going to meet alot of very drunk sophisticated ladies.

Paggy, do you mean getting the train there? (provincial dimwit) or getting the train home? (drunken arse)

Mr Poe is a bone fide MNer though. He has his own user name and I've seen him post and everything.

He is very brave actually coming to the meet up though :)

Eggy we will be sophisticated for the first hour, and drunken for the last three or four. (I suspect.)

I'm going to try really hard not to fall over. Or say anything very stupid.

bona fide not bone! D'Oh!

He thinks we will be talking about handbags. And stuff.

Oi!

Provincial? I worked in the city for 15 years, you cheeky mare.

Drunk on the way home is his fear. A reasonable one as it goes

Is Lady Bracknell coming? I fear it will be more stuff than handbags. Hopefully stuff that will be forgotten about the next day

wearing the heels i am planning on, falling over is nearly guaranteed. they are kitten ones, which are oddly difficult to walk in...

(views weather, which is pushing away from silk mix floral into 3/4 sleeve tea dress..)

OK. Metal note: no handbags. What does he like? German Philosophers? Quantum Physics? The off-side rule? (panicking a bit now - I'm better on handbags)

Metal note?

fond memories of being woken by the gentle nudging of what i hoped was my Mum, but turned out to be the guard at Haywards Heath<

fecking £40 taxi to Brighton because of that one...

I meant mental note. Unless my Poe is into metal - which strangely, I can talk about (a bit).

I do German Philosophers. He does Quantum Physics. It's more stars, and less absinthe and sado-masochism.

Oh FFS. MR Poe. Not my Poe. Don't worry Eggy, he's your Poe not my Poe.

Blimey - that was a good guess!

I'm sure Mr Poe will have a bloody marvellous time, being the only man, we will all be elbowing one another out of the way to entertain him with our charm and scintillating wit. He'll love it. You watch.

Lady Bracknall is entirely appropriate given our place of origin, as if i over-sleep, i will actually wind up at the station referenced by Oscar in that play...
