Tea room the Eighth - sun, sea, sangria, and perhaps a sandy Mellors

Greetings, welcome to the eighth incarnation of the tearoom.

The tearoom has been, and will be again, a virtual safe haven for anyone up for rather random chat and a comprehensive range of virtual snacks. Nothing in the tearoom will make you fat, or drunk (unless you want it to) or cause an allergic reaction.

The new tearoom location is a beautiful beachside cafe (no need for factor 50, the virtual sun will just lightly tan you, bring out your freckles or simply warm your skin, as you prefer) with a range of garden swings, hammocks, sunloungers, deckchairs etc (as well as a rather incongruous, but well-loved, chaise longue). For those in need of sanctuary, we have managed to fashion a new priesthole out of woven grasses.

Our fellow residents include Mellors the rugged gardener of few-but-well-chosen words, the naked mohawk babies, a coterie of bishops, various domestic pets, and a selection of others. On the human side, all are welcome - while we live in the One Child topic some regulars have more than one, and we are welcome all (except people who put their heads on one side and tell those of us with one child that it's just not fair to have only one child).

Please help yourself to a glass of Champagne and a canape on the way in ...

Oh yes, I know. I just got carried away with the idea that anyone reading this thread and wanting to crash the first tea room meet-up could buy themselves a Canada t-shirt and lurk around the hotel lobby.

Oh .
Will look out for hairy truckers impersonating me then!

evening all - is this a private truckers' rendezvous or can anyone join in? I am having Kir Royale tonight - we have booze to dispose of so why not!

Catita - am at the medico's crass irresponsibility in assuming that your DS had swine flu just because he came in from Mexico. That is just appalling.

I guess Donk has gone off to visit her Dad then, has she? I hope that's the only reason for her clearing out her straw pile.

MadBad - I would be there with eyeliner and ruffles on for a Glam Rock thread but can see your point that it might not be to everyone's taste - still! How about just a music lounge where everyone gets their own favourite? Low lighting, even lower slouchy leather sofas, that kind of thing...

A G&T rather than a tea would be good, thanks.

Our vicar used to be a hairy trucker, now he's a hairy vicar!

thumbwitch · 16/06/2009 21:59

oooh, Mary - he's not called Dave as well is he??

CMOTdibbler · 16/06/2009 22:07

I think the hairy truckers would be very put off by the massed geeks at the conference

I rather like the idea of a glam rock thread, but harbour a tendre for men in eyeliner

Well, here it is. Better pack up and go - don't spill your drinks!
