POL Scottish Parliament Dinner

Many thanks Sandra for organising talkporty's 'first' night out

Strangely enough I feel fine today. Had a really successful park clean up this morning and enjoyed the fresh air and Spring sunshine. Next stop is the allotment

Marya, you are sounding very chirpy!

I spend the afternoon dozing in bed and am now on the Heinz Tomato Soup which seems to be doing the trick. Feeling dreadful

Oh dear Sandra. Lots of sympathy being sent your way. Maybe my hangover is yet to kick in? Think it is just such a lovely day it is hard to feel bad. Homer has the BBQ going and is just opening a bottle of red. Cue rain!

Hope you enjoyed the Barbie.

Feeling a bit better now but what a waste of a day!

Epykat · Post by **Epykat** » 24 Mar 2007, 22:22

Had a bit of 'sore right eye syndrome' - my equivalent of a hangover

. Mr E pretty chirpy amazingly! Spent most of the day in the front garden (just for you Ali - thought you might be getting bored looking in the window

). Great night as usual. Good to meet Izzie. I'm sure she'll verify that we didn't eat her and she got home safely so might encourage other newbies to come along next time

I'm not aware of any Mod deleting your post Foxy, which only leaves the possibility that someone with access to your pc logged in as you and edited your post

For your info your last post and the one you say wasn't written by you are from the same IP address.

...that doesn't help at all. I did post about the wee small hours, and its gone, although it has been quoted. I honestly did not post the one about too much info... I was home alone and totally sober and why would I say "too much info" in reponse to my own post

Plus I hardly ever use those "razz" smileys...Poppy????????

That'll be it. Many apologies, Foxy!

Yep, I did this last week by mistake, but wasn't me this time Foxy. Honest guv.

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 26 Mar 2007, 18:02

I was getting a bit concerned about Izzie as there's not been a peep from her since Friday, but she's logged on now. Maybe about to dish the dirt about Friday!!

Izzie · Post by **Izzie** » 26 Mar 2007, 18:18

Sorry I have not been on sooner but I had a very sad weekend my daughter the oldest one went to Austrilia with work for 2 years.

Friday night was great it took all but a few minutes before I knew everyone.The only real suprise was Bearcub but he might want to tell you all

The drink flowed and the food was great.

I have to say thank you to Sandra I had such a good time and really can't wait until the next one

Oh, dear, that must be a big wrench for you.

But I'm glad you had a good time at the Parly. Hope it helped.

... but what's this about bearcub... my mind is boggling away and might explode if one of you doesn't 'fess up soon

shhh....let's not tell her

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 26 Mar 2007, 18:41

I would like to thank Sandra for a fab night, and I would also like to thank my lovely escort home for keeping me safe, especially whenever I seemed in danger of stepping into a road, when he felt duty bound to shout warnings at me in a very paternal fashion...

The thing that worried me was how Izzie and Mr Scoop kept going to the toilet together. And when Mr and Mrs bearcub - or is that Mr and Mrs Sandra? - went off to the loo together and were gone for a very long time...

But what was nice was how every time Sandra disappeared, she returned to throw teabags at me. Yay.

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 26 Mar 2007, 18:48

What are you on, Bellybabe??

Or are you working so hard that you are hallucinating in a somewhat slanderous as well as bizarre fashion?

I thought you weren't going to drink alcohol??!! Tsk.

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 26 Mar 2007, 18:55

I had one glass of wine, I'll have you know! In fact, as my escort and myself left the rest of them falling over outside parly, and he told them not to drink too much, or something, they shouted at him that I'd got to him, and he'd better get me home immediately.

Anyway, I said "stepping"; he seemed to have a bit of a problem with my way of crossing roads i.e. not at a green man...

The gents' loos were out of order so I'm telling you, people kept going in pairs. Well, four of them, anyway. I was shocked, being a demure young lady myself.

And I came home with four teabags. I have witnesses.

But I have been working hard...with Russion dolls today. Maybe you're right and I should go for a lie-down.

That's not half as worrying as what Mr Epykat thinks two females get up to when they go to the loo together

I'd forgotten about that! I don't know what kind of women he fraternises with when he's out alone

Izzie · Post by **Izzie** » 27 Mar 2007, 11:57

Mr Scoop was a real gentleman at the toilets

...I should hope so, too. Like I'm always telling him, he's a "ladies" man.

Thanks again Sandra for organising a great night out. I understand why you never made it round to me for your black pudding. You are a lush of the highest order.
