not that i would be missed but for numbers sake i thought you lot might want to know

Snuffleupagus is a sort of hairy elephant type creature. From Sesame Street. He is visible, but only Big Bird ever sees him - he always wanders off before other people show up. Well, they changed that eventually, but that was the original premise.

Am that you haven't heard of him. Probably means he's not a very good badge option, though.

Oh, arse, have realised the perfect badge image for me - Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins.

PMSL, excellent NQC

But I've already made my badge.

Maybe I'll have two.

If I use DVD, does that mean I have to put on a Cockney accent and jig about like a madwoman?

Ah, well, that was my plan anyway ...

Why bother with the accent - he didn't.

Well, he sorta did, in some sense. He certainly didn't sound normal.

Don't worry, any approximation of a Cockney accent I could do would be at least as bad as his.

Can't imaginaryfriend have a picture of SorenLorenson on her badge?

Oh, hold on, then people might think she was Sorenlorenson

Ds has an imaginary friend called Von. I could get him to draw you a picture of him?

Franny, your 1st post just mirrored a lightbulb post of mine earlier today re. soren lorensen!

Dd has a few imaginaryfriends, a crocodile called Mrs. Nesbitt, a red-haired girl called Anna and a girl with a Brummy accent called Esme. Maybe I could get her to do a picture of one of them? But I'm not sure anybody would get it.

I'm keen on my idea of a blank badge with a small 'IF' in the corner. Kind of conceptual?

Right, I've done a bit of organising to make things simpler. Those who have not said are on the possibility list, if you are coming can you just move yourselves to the definite list please? If you are not coming, can you just delete yourself please? Can everyone try to contact all those on the possibilities list to find out for certain and I shall try to CAT them all in time (MN HQ will love me!).

Hope this new list is clearer!

Many thanks to my social secretary LGJ

Aha! You pre-empted me Quootie! You'll have a great time ok? Introduce yourself to me, I'll be the one at the bar drinking Guinness and sneering, I'll stand you a drink if you do!

bum my friend that was coming with me can't make it now anyone going into kings cross on the bedford/luton line?

GUINNESS! I LOVE guinness! We can be Guinness buddies!

Rhubarb, I'm planning on coming in drag, but will be happy to see someone who's not in drag there ... or are you planning jeans in some v girly sense?

Oh lordy - what to wear??????!!!!! Aaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh - this coud be the end of me. if i thought I could possibly turn up in jeans, then I deffo would as that's how I'm most comfortable! not that I don't like glamming up now and again, but I'm most me in jeans. Venue looks a bit posh for jeans though.

Southeastastra - yes, I'll be getting the train at Luton Airport Parkway.

have not yet thought about what to wear but can assure you it won't be glam. as I don't think I have anything glam.
