So, MNHQ, bedecked in LKBennett (and Boden for the plebs) are all out stuffing pizza and Bolly, half of the posters and hangers-on are there too: what mischief shall we get up to while they're away?

Because I bet they've just left BigTech in charge. Or he/she'll be checking in every once in a while, a bit pished and lairy.

So we can DO. WHAT. WE. LIKE. while the Leaders party.

I was under the table by then, felled by an enormous plate of doughballs. It was over much too soon, sniff. I wish we had had longer at the party and been able to get stuck into the tower of biscuits. The Pizza Express was very nice but there was NO CAKE.

hehe, I realised about the cake on the train home, as my stomach was rumbling ominously. Have to say, champagne hangovers are the way forward, i.e no hangover at all

Mettle hello! Glad you have joined us.

well, I thought it rude not to pop over and say 'hello' and 'thank you' and all that.
the champagne has finally left my system, I swear I have been tipsy for 2 days!

I've been topping up my alcohol level steadily since Tuesday so no fear of a sober moment for me anytime soon. I was very surprised to have no hangover. I have made it my mission to only drink Moet from now on. I'm not doing very well

Do you know, Mr Brown looks very jolly in almost all those photos! it's a revelation. Nice to see, actually. (dont know why...?)

Is it just me or has a thread about the do disappeared?

Some of us admitted to a little crush on GB once we had seen him in the flesh. This may or may not have been due to our champagne goggles.

Champagne googles He was very charming, and I am a sucker for a charming man these days.

Anyway: what was Sven Goran Ericsson doing there?

Champagne Googles! very good! There was a whole bath full of champagne. And we dipped, how we dipped... My guest was disappointed to find next morning that 'you never get a hangover from champagne' is, sadly, a myth.

Lots of mutton dressed as lamb !

What a lovely, thoughtful comment spiderpig8

spiderpig8, did you know your bum looks big in that username? and your skirt is tucked into your (granny) pants. Just FYI

Blimey, I was just thinking the other day that I hadn't heard the phrase 'mutton dressed as lamb' for ages, and that this might say something cheerful about how society no longer thinks it's acceptable to pass hateful comments about women in general.

Guess there's always one, eh?

Just read most of this and wanted to say that misdee wasn't there, coz if she was, she didn't invite me... bitch!!

It sounded like bitterness to me.

Ah, it all looks fab, glad everyone had a great time. Some great shoes, legs and tits on show from what I can see.

I can't see anyone who looks like mutton dressed as lamb at all, everyone looks v glam and lovely.

Lots of sour grapes this past week I think.

I didn't enter a Haiku as have no imagination/creativity and would have been waaaay to shy to go anyway. I'd have been the one slumped in the corner exuding champagne fumes 30mins in, if past behaviour is anything to go by.

That will have been me then, spiderpig. Thanks for drawing everyone's attention to me.

Sorry, rubyrubyruby, you'll have to speak up, I'm a bit deaf you know.

I aspire to mutton-as-lamb

I find that boys quite like it
