What a weekend!

First off - congrats again to Kelly and Graham. Really chuffed for the both of you, and thanks for being such good hosts and putting on a party to remember. And I'm glad you both liked your pressie (I sooooo should have taken a photo of you opening it... ).

To everyone else, thanks for a great time. Slayerfest, you may think that you destroyed all the photos, but there were a few we took and hid without you knowing. And I don't mean the ones you kept trying to put your hands down my trousers for...

I also noted that the last ones to crash were all T21ers. And that we STILL managed to find a Spike at the party, even if the original was too busy saving up for a trip to Canada to make it...

Talking of which. Spike, we not only wished Kelly and Graham 'Happy Anniversary' as you requested by phone, but made up a card from you to them. Out of a beer mat, obviously...

PS - Quote of the Evening - 'He can have me anytime!' From Slayerfest, and those who were there will know who 'he' is...

My God, that was the best night of my life ever!!! Where to start?

Well Friday night DM came up, and we had a few beers (well he had a few, I got through about 7 cans in 3 hours!)

Got home from work at 3.30pm on Saturday and started my drinking escapade and waited for the various T21ers to turn up.

The party was great, got there about 7.30 and people arrived after 8, just as Graham and my mate Pete had got everything set up and kicked off the music.

It was a good turn out, and even though not everyone we invited could make it for one reason or another, the room was pretty full.

I was plied with Smirnoff Ice from all angles (which was nice) and by the time came to make a speech, I couldn't really talk! A mate at work filled me in on what Graham said for his speech and I was going "awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" (should have added sick bags to the shopping list, lol)

One big surprise was the cake, with a picture of me and Graham on it (copyright of DM, my mum was a bit scared when I said that to her, hehe).

Great night, fantastic tunes (T21ers: "Play Fraggle Rock!!!" repeated until it was), and then to the after party.

The vodka jelly still hadn't set by then, so I tucked into the many cans in the fridge and wandered around drunk for a while, "tested" Jayjays present and then last thing I recall is falling asleep on the landing, and getting carried into bed at 3am!

Onto the shout outs.

Sydney Thanks for everything hun, the party wouldn't have been possible really if it hadn't been for your generosity You looked gorge, shame about your strap

Jayjay You rock!!! What a pressie, even though I can't tell my mum what you bought us!!

Tycho Thanks so much for the baccy and for helping to move the speakers, amps etc, you're a star It was brilliant to see you again, lets not leave it so long next time.

Dangermouse Always a pleasure hun, thanks for taking over the food preparation while I got ready. Loved the shirt! Thanks for the beer too (and bad mouse for using Syd's vodka!!) Will try and get down to you very soon.

Buliarious Cheers for coming up hun, you weren't at all scary! Lol at the little video you made but you deleted it

Redwitch Good to meet you finally, lol @ your best man story and I hope you didn't lose any money on your 'bet' i didn't fall out of the dress, Graham just pulled it down instead!!

Slayerfest ner ner ner ner ner, I've got a special Smirnoff Ice bottle and you haven't I can't believe they took a photo of you burning your photo and you burned that too! And now I know what you mean about your wandering off habit...

Fred You sexy thing you, hope all your bruises heal soon and you remember how you got them I know what one was. Me and DM were wondering where you were, when you came down the stairs, slipped and crashed into the wall...

That's all left to say except, the barstaff said aside from all the beer sold, they sold 300 bottles of Smirnoff Ice that night!!!! (half were mine I think)

PS #Take your cares away, worries for another day, let the music play, down at Fraggle Rock#

Tam & Monster So sorry you couldnt make it - what the hell were you doing in Rochdale though!?

---

I looked on the map and saw the directions you'd given were *miles* out of our way... So I was trying to be clever and do a shortcut - but I don't know that area well at all and the road we came on was shut for something or other. Ended up lost somewhere in Rochdale... (Its not the first time. I ended up in Wales on my way to Blackpool once...)

We still have your pressie here though for next time we see you!

<--- clue

Well well well! Now sufficiently recovered from the weekend to pull myself together and post

As you can tell from above there were plenty of drunken shenanigans and once again the T21 lot put all of those common people to shame. We (okay not technically we coz i was being a wuss in front of my 'normal' frinds) were the first on the dance floor and the last to go to bed

Fraggle rock was fab!!!! we sooooooooo have to get that played at a Nos.

and 300 bottles of smiroff ice. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. ah well, explains a lot doesn't it

Are you suggesting Kitty looked fab and I didnt?

Speaking of the music, the CDs ended up a bit out of step somehow, so I had to omit some tunes cos the change of pace was way to much after some banging choon before it. Some of that stuff I wish I'd squeezed in now...like Thriller, and we had the original Grange Hill theme tune.

One of those CD players was so delicate that just sitting down in the chair at the DJ stand caused it to jump, so sorry for any interruptions

Well Kelly and Graham you did it again.....threw another wicked party! And i promise the christmas party will be a stress free zone on my part!!!

It was great to finally meet those of you whom i have never met.
And everyone at the party looked like BOBBYDAZZLERS!!!

Congratulations again Kelly and Graham i hope your both very,very,very happy together, because you both deserve it, and i love you both loads!!!

The rumours of the demise of this photograph have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, it escaped the night unscathed. This, and many more, I will scan tomorrow and post here for everyone's pleasure...

Thanks to Kelly & Graham ( & everyone else as well )

Nice to see people again & nice to meet new people as well.

WOW who is lucy?

well seing as you didn't come to the party i'm not going to tell you

Well i can finally be bothered to say stuff about the party, so here goes:

The easy way of summing up the evening is

but i have a few other things to add

Funkykittyfanmonkeytastic: Thanks for throwing such a great party, and best wishes for the future. Sorry i didnt stick around to say goodbye, but i was ready to leave at 8am and didnt feel like waiting as long as i expected it to take for everyone else to get up. Besides, people expect me to dissapear and i would hate to disapoint. The music rocked!! i so need to get a copy of fraggle rock and hey, EVERY bottle of smirnoff ice is special

Dangermouse: remember me saying you should take a photo of Lucy for Spike?

Sydney: The dancing was intended as a joke but then i realised how much it resembled my non joke dancing

Jayjay: what makes you think i was after photo's when i was trying to put my hand down your trousers? (now waiting for the evenings most used phrase to be repeated )

Everyone else who was there: Thanks for making the night so much fun.

Tam & Mon: Sorry you couldnt get there.

Everyone else who wasn't there: We had plenty of fun without you so sod the lot of you

Dom - stuff Spike - that was for me

Aaaaaaaaand finally... It's taken me aaaaages to get round to checking out the boards since the party (not helped by my cat standing on the power button on my 'puter last time I managed to get on-line so I gave up & went to bed. )

Anyway. Cool Party Award to MissKitty & the Funky one: Your playlist was sooooooooo much better than the proper DJ's, the food was excellent and the booze nicely cheap. And great to finally meet you both!

As for leading by example with the dancing, JayJay started it, I just decided to keep him company while the rest of our mob got as inebriated as they needed to before they hit the floor (literally in Fred's case...).

Much of what I remember was booze, laughing, dancing and people trying to take photos of slayerfest. And him trying to burn photos of him. Did you not realise that only makes it more interesting for those of us who enjoy a challenge? Especially those of us with a sadistic streak?
I do remember having a really cool time, and that Morrison's breakfasts are the best thing in the world the morning after the night before.

Oh and for those that missed the story, I was Best Man for two friend's of mine last September. (/me waves Hi to Trinity.) I had been begged to and pleaded with, not to reveal certain aspects of the groom's past. Like the fact that we had at sepearate times had the same boyfriend. (insert evil cackle) This begging and pleading lasted up until 2am on the morning of the wedding, when I was putting the finishing touches to my speech in the groom's auntie's kitchen. This begging and pleading guarenteed that my speech rang thus: "Ladies and Gentlemen. I am under the strictest instructions not to include anything in my speech that would embarrass the bride or groom, or their respective parents. So unfortunately there will be no tales of the men that the bride and I have in common. Neither will there be any stories about the men that the groomand I have in common. (*thud as groom's head hits table muffled by shocked laughter from audience*) But there may be a slide show later."
This is why Funky doesn't want me writing his Best Man's speech.
