Hope everyone is behaving themselves right now. No soup slurping, elbows on tables etc.
Wonder what's on the menu? Is there a wine list?

Might be a long session.

Don't know about Portly and his Pal, Sandra or Foxy [those 4 last seen heading for a pub

], but Foxy Plus One went back to work and Mr Poppy and I went to Sainsbury's for the shopping at 2.30.

Had a very tasty meal and a few glasses of vino ... for which many thanks, Porty!!!

The rest is secret - top security there, you know!!

Yes everyone did apart from Poppy and Mr Poppy who wandered off and got told off by a security guard - it was difficult to keep them herded together!

Thanks again for lunch Porty.

We went onto the pub and BC joined us after he finished work. Suffering a bit today

And I took some photos - will download the best one.

apart from Poppy and Mr Poppy who wandered off

Hmmph - we were looking at Oor Jack's photies of Malawi!!

Thanks Sandra for a great visit! [/code]

I did not vote for the Parliament and like most people, was horrified at the amount of money spent on its design and construction

I'm not saying we got value for money, but having now seen round the inside of the building, I am very impressed and believe we have a building to be proud of

Many thanks Sandra for arranging the visit

It's how you're taught to sit at school, obviously the girls listened and the boys didn't

Now I know what Foxy plus 1 look like too

(I already know the rest)

You know Mr Poppy? Or am I forgetting meeting you when he was tagging along??

No, I don't know Mr Poppy but must've seen you together sometime so the face is familiar.(probably keeking out from behind the curtains)

Aw, and look at those boys in their matching pink shirts...

Doubt it - even you open your curtains before Mr Poppy is likely to be out and about!!

Provisional Parly visit on Friday 20th Jan, please note your interest here.

I know Bob and Porty are interested. Will find out if the Restaurant can accommodate us and get back to you next week.

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 05 Dec 2005, 12:08

Table booked - let me know if you are interested in attending.

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 05 Dec 2005, 12:23

Can I bring a friend Sandra?

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 05 Dec 2005, 12:45

Hey, Mr J, I thought you made a point of never being around on that date?

I might be up for it, Sandra, but I won't know until nearer the time because of child care and such.

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 05 Dec 2005, 12:55

Indeed you may.

I need names a week in advance to let Security know.

Have provisionally booked a table for 10 (though I couldn't keep 6 in order, heaven knows how I'd manage 10!

)

I certainly never work on that date but with our eldest now at PHS we don't have plans to go away anywhere. I'm looking forward to a spot of lunch and a tour of the building.

Do they allow video cameras inside?

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 12 Jan 2006, 10:58

Could I please have names of people who are able to come to Parliament for tour and lunch on 20th January?

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 12 Jan 2006, 23:20

Yep, I'm still up for this Sandra and I'm bringing a friend. I'll pm you her details.
