Just checking in with all you lovely ladies on this auspicious night and to thank you for staying so measured and good humoured in the face of so much unpleasantness over the past few years. I know it’s not ‘done’ but no-one can doubt it feels like progress today, and i’m certainly seeing so much more positivity around me now especially at work. My German dh is delighted too. So enjoy 🍻🍾🍷the night.

Have a brilliant time Lily :)

hospitalityinspector · 31/01/2020 18:50

Midsomer?! Is that programme ever off TV? Every time I turn it on it's there.

Have a great time Lily. Tell RB that Dom Raab has a fan club here in the Arms, though Dusty get first dibs obviously.

Limer · 31/01/2020 19:08

Hope you have a wonderful evening Lily !!!

Quite a few local celebration parties being held, according to my FB.

Coppersulphate · 31/01/2020 19:16

Just had to go out and buy some chocolate.
Going to party in village hall.
3hrs 45 min to go

Coppersulphate · 31/01/2020 19:27

Are we having a quiet, respectful party in the Arms?
Shall I help put the bunting up?

Hollycatberry · 31/01/2020 19:28

I hope everyone celebrating has a great time and stays safe.

Unfortunately there are still unpleasant angry people out there. Luckily MNHQ was about to pull this very nasty thread. Very sad to think there are people out there with these views. Let’s just hope they stay behind a keyboard.

Things I never thought I’d say

  1. I wish I had a party to go tonight

  2. I am pleased by something Boris Johnson did.

Then again, if you told me 2 years ago I’d be voting for Boris Johnson, I’d have needed the fainting couch!

Raining muchly in north London.

EpicIndividual · 31/01/2020 19:37

Enjoy Lily!!! 🙌🎉🍸

bellinisurge · 31/01/2020 19:42

Again @Hollycatberry , there's been a lot of nasty shit on both sides. I hope that stops.

Sallysaved · 31/01/2020 19:43

Have a fab night singing.

Fireworks going off round here!!

Sallysaved · 31/01/2020 19:43

Autumn same. I wish I wish I had a party tonight go to as well.

Coppersulphate · 31/01/2020 19:46

Welcome Bellini,
We can party in here without being triumphalist or goady
Join us

AutumnRose1 · 31/01/2020 19:46

Sally in London, I’d bet money on no fireworks. But friends all over the country voted Remain so most are drowning their sorrows.

Dominic is number 43!

But he is playing the song in Parliament Square apparently, which will be nice. I hope they replace the effs with bongs.

EpicIndividual · 31/01/2020 19:48

Nasty stuff Holly! But really no great surprise to me after 4 years of it, it’s just same shit different day.

Zero fucks given from me now anyway, because as of tomorrow, that stupid, churlish, divisive shit will slowly fade away, and normal humanity will hopefully return to us all. 🎉🍸

AutumnRose1 · 31/01/2020 19:50

I’m thinking early songs should be mellow so we don’t burn out. All dubious title links welcomed by me 😂

I’ll start with this

EpicIndividual · 31/01/2020 19:50

Besides, in about a fortnight we will all be too busy trying to survive the Zombie Apocalypse to care anyway. 😂🦠🧟‍♀️

Sallysaved · 31/01/2020 19:50

Yes let's get the bunting up.

Tunes on.. Stoke fire, disco ball...

EpicIndividual · 31/01/2020 19:51

The first round of Coronas are on me. 😉 🍺

Evening All😊
Checking in for my first 🍻 of the evening, thanks Epic
It's raining cats and dogs where I am, DH has been nominated teen taxi driver tonight so I'm going to settle in here for the evening.
Hope everyone's doing ok 👍

Hollycatberry · 31/01/2020 20:04

Bellini I’m on the thread so no need to @ me ta. And come on, that thread was very unpleasant esp for MN.

I agree Epic it’s nothing new but reading the title of that post just hit me that there are some very ugly thoughts out there still. I just hope all the gathering and parties can take place peacefully tonight, it really does mean a lot to some people.

Sorry to drag the mood down! Coronas sound the perfect tonic right now.

EpicIndividual · 31/01/2020 20:05

“But he is playing the song in Parliament Square apparently, which will be nice. I hope they replace the effs with bongs.” Will that be live? I thought they couldn’t play live music?

Sallysaved · 31/01/2020 20:06

I can't link but I'd like otis reading, change is gonna come.

EpicIndividual · 31/01/2020 20:06

“Sorry to drag the mood down! Coronas sound the perfect tonic right now.”

Not at all! It’s always nasty to read that shit, but at least in here you, you know you are amongst friends. 😉😘🍸
