They probably want £10 a bottle for that as well

We can have a day-glo themed wedding.
Seeing you, Dot, Jan and all the other lovely wimmin in the brightest of bright day-glo will really set Pooh off, won't it? 
(Or send him into spasms of- joy.)
Don't think mC will concede to that though!
I must be told this love story I wasn't present for! This isn't a reeally long ongoing joke, is it? Is this the first forum romance?

i don;t know that many either. But it'll be great to meet you. I'll be the LONA lurking in the corner!
I'll be interested in the replies as I'm not certain how to behave in Rotterdam, so the more info the better!

Just be yourself Meerkat and let the lunacy wash over you. I've been to several of these now and the more you go to the more fun it is especially when you start meeting people you recognise

It isn't an ongoing joke
It's a proper romance A poster outside one shop urged people to Dig For Victory, as if it were some kind of turnip.

Aww. I'm so glad, Sjoerd. I didn't mean to be insulting, by the way, it's just that I have friends who carry out odd, very believable, long-running, entirely false relationships on facebook (and real life 
). But I'm such a sucker for romance and love stories! Is it too nosy to ask how it happened?

I bought a wig today!
it's really lush - silvery grey and 60 cm long Now all I have to do is get a vaguely medieval-style dress but the plastic is in shock atm Magic always happens for a reason, wherever and however it is created. Inside the fantasy, or springing from it…

I don't know if 48 quid is not a lot in England but converted it's a lot of mony..
is that just to attend or does that include anything else?.Ah well,my mom would never let me go to England by my self anyway. Hopefully next time,must be positive. “We are all in the gutter,but some of us are looking at the stars.”- Oscar Wilde
