Dear [insert your name here]

Meg and I would be delighted if you could join us in the upstairs room at The Blue Posts on Newman Street on Saturday 15 May to celebrate both our fifth wedding anniversary and my 30th birthday.

Entertainment will be provided by Mr MJ Hibbett and the Club FT DJs.

Black tie not necessary.

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 09:20 (twenty-two years ago)

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 09:22 (twenty-two years ago)

vicky will be YOUR WIFE by then :)

i was thinking the other day, have you thought about being double-barrelled? "park!n50n-br0wn" has a certain ring to it i think...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 09:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't want to tempt fate.

and no chance - there'll be no double barrelledness in my family

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 09:26 (twenty-two years ago)

The Ewings will be delighted to attend.

This is also Eurovision night but don't worry, plans have been laid to enjoy both cultural events.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 09:37 (twenty-two years ago)

roll out the double-barrel (god...)

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 09:38 (twenty-two years ago)

It is urgent and key that we are informed of developments re: participating in both cultural events.

― Sarah (starry), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 09:42 (twenty-two years ago)

happy anniversary (~~war~~eurovision is over)

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 09:43 (twenty-two years ago)

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 09:49 (twenty-two years ago)

i can be the bloke from Jemini i suppose....

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 10:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I meant to answer your 'Nigerian Businessman' invitation some time ago, but I must have forgotten. Yes, we would like to come. Arantxa says will there be any girls. I don't know what she's worried about. What time is it? Are you really only thirty? I would have been more condescending had I known.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 12:40 (twenty-two years ago)

(Aside) When are you getting married, Chris and Vic?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

fyi PJ - 25th April NYC FAP?

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 12:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you. It is the day after St George's Day and just four days after Cambridge University Easter Full Term begins.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 13:05 (twenty-two years ago)

yes there will be girls (maybe she's just worried about it being me, you , tim and chris, you know what happened last time ;)).

it'll be early-ish (6 or so) until 11 at the blue posts and then no doubt stumbling on somewhere else spanish/borderline-y.

and yes i am only 30.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 13:14 (twenty-two years ago)

PJ, the wedding itself is on St Georges day, I am wearing a helmet and breastplate to commemorate- and then slaying the mother in law...

JOKING!!!!!!!!

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 13:27 (twenty-two years ago)

i thought St George's Day was the 23rd? or was that the joke?

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 13:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought it was the 24th, I was a bad boy scout

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 13:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Why did I think so wrongly?

sorry George

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 13:29 (twenty-two years ago)

you are a bad boy scout...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 13:31 (twenty-two years ago)

will there be a st. george's day parade in NYC??

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 13:35 (twenty-two years ago)

oh yes, rows and rows of accountants and insurance agents walking up Wall street in top hat and tails

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 13:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd love to come to this, btw, steve and meg, but my final year review shit is only a few days after.

I will congratulate you, nearer the time.

crosspost, haha, that's what I thought, chris.

― RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 13:37 (twenty-two years ago)

anyway, I am officially, looking forward to this.

― chris (chris), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Wot getting hitched?

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 13:55 (twenty-two years ago)

The FIFTH! wedding anniversary! And 30TH birthday! ha, old git ;0) I am looking forward to it too!

― Vicky (Vicky), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

bludy kids ;P

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 14:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I would love to come to this, even though I live in a different country and will still be skint in May following ATP... but maybe I will somehow come to this anyway.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 14:59 (twenty-two years ago)

well obv it would be lovely if you did :) maybe you can stow away in YMO'F's coat or simething...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 15:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I have this one scheduled in, and will definetely attend. And that's an actual definetely rather than my usual vague sort.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 15:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay! We checked a couple of weeks ago and the prices of flights were totally this side of reasonable for that weekend. So we just need somewhere cheap to stay (offers & recommendations duly accepted) and me and the mister will be there. Huzzah!

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

(also, blimey, is it five years since Bowlie then?)

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 17 May 2004 08:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Dear lord this killed me on Sunday, but what a top night eh!

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Starry I OWNED you with that last Olé! on Saturday night. I've never seen anyone literally hopping mad before.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:05 (twenty-one years ago)

CURSES!!!!

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:07 (twenty-one years ago)

i wondered why you two were wrasslin'

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:10 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, you guys were out of control-- actually chasing each other around the bar like tom and jerry or something.

(i think we need to break matt of this ole habit since it seems to have weird results)

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I wasn't chasing Matt round the bar?! Was I?

Colette - I suffer a lot of domestic oléing, Matt's oléing means noooothing to me - OHHH it means nothing to meee!!! OHHHHHHHH!

Vienetta.

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:29 (twenty-one years ago)

oleing?

how does this work?

do i, in fact, want to know?

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Steve, you know the Nike fitba advert with Brazil and Portugal, roight?

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:34 (twenty-one years ago)

the two of you came tearing around the corner in a way that had people grabbing their drinks for fear of spillage. but in a funny way.

so what you're saying is that matt keeps trying to engage you and your boy in your own little private games you normally play at home?

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:34 (twenty-one years ago)

issa telavision cammershul

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Not quite, Matt insults me far less. To recreate the true "At Home With Sarah And Partner" lifestyle, we'd have to gratitously slag off each others sexuality, shout "GOTH" a lot and drink industrial strength Crusha drinks.

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:36 (twenty-one years ago)

And look at ugly people on telly and shout "YOURS".

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:37 (twenty-one years ago)

yes i've seen the advert, but i was assuming "oleing" involved nutmegging someone, which seemed a little difficult without a ball.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:38 (twenty-one years ago)

yes i don't think they have really thought it through either

i'd like to hear more about Sarah and hers at home - or would I??

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:39 (twenty-one years ago)

oh god, some weird mix up of the starry/boy matt/stevem couples at home! the mind boggles...

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Now we see pervem's true colours.

Yes but oléing is just grabbing one by the back of the neck, looking into your eyes and shouting OLE! And you see when the person who does this to you is your romantic type person you sometimes think, ah this is nice, perhaps we are going to have a nice tender moment there (ie A SNOG) and all I ever sodding get is an olé. I don't know why I put up with it, I really don't.

Other adverts we like include "Maybe because I'm a Londoner" by Capital FM and that Jonny Vaughan.

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:47 (twenty-one years ago)

And look at ugly people on telly and shout "YOURS". this may well be adopted instead of the "you love her/him" alongside the usual "that's your favourite song/advert/television program" (usually backed up with "in fact, it was your idea, you ARE Phil Collins" etc)

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I do not claim that any of our domestic habits are very original!

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:50 (twenty-one years ago)

ha ha that 'YOURS' is great - and reminds me of how when i pass an attractive lady there's a voice in my head yelling 'WOULD!' tho that's not really any good is it?

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Other adverts we like include "Maybe because I'm a Londoner" by Capital FM and that Jonny Vaughan.

i will have to set Matt on you again now

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:54 (twenty-one years ago)

when i pass an attractive lady there's a voice in my head yelling 'WOULD!'

it's actually yelling 'WOOD'!

― MarkH (MarkH), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:55 (twenty-one years ago)

when i pass an attractive lady there's a voice in my head yelling 'WOULD!'

"WOOD!" shurley?

hurrah for the hive mind...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:56 (twenty-one years ago)

'YOURS' is so much succint than the 'look, your new boyfriend' which i do. hopefully not so loudly that the ugly person hears me. although maybe they would be flattered?

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:56 (twenty-one years ago)

'WOOD' is a bit too coarse for my liking (bwahaha)

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:57 (twenty-one years ago)

so which ugly people on telly are we talking about anyway? come on name names

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:57 (twenty-one years ago)

This one is good, as it also involves a rude word:

YOURS!

http://www.fyicomminc.com/images/minger.jpg

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 17 May 2004 09:59 (twenty-one years ago)

All people on telly are pretty and they all love Mark S. I thought this was a well known fact.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Monday, 17 May 2004 10:00 (twenty-one years ago)

i'd like to polish his instrument

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 17 May 2004 10:00 (twenty-one years ago)

The first ever lesbian marriage in the USA, you say?

YOURS!

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 17 May 2004 10:06 (twenty-one years ago)

hands up if you like my hair

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 17 May 2004 10:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I kind of prefer "that's your mum", it has a sort of retro charm.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 17 May 2004 10:07 (twenty-one years ago)

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/39551000/jpg/_39551279_michaelmoore_203.jpg

He also likes your hair. He is also yours.

― Sarah (starry), Monday, 17 May 2004 10:09 (twenty-one years ago)

i can have anyone i want

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 17 May 2004 10:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I am sorry that I made so much noise during MJ Hibbert's excellent set, but I was getting the word out about my Benjy's-related adventure. I then left the ~~microfilm~~tasty desserts in the pub, bah.

I was very glad to see DV come out to the indie disco, and it will be with a heavy heart that I report him to the Committee for Cultural Realism for responding to Where's Me Jumper? with "What's this, then?"

Colette is also on The List.

Also thanks to Alan + Emma for the place to sleep!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 17 May 2004 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

i decided, when we went back on sunday to pick up the PA, that the desserts should be left as a reminder...

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 17 May 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

is this a good list for letting you sit at my table at starbucks or a bad list for spreading the word about your MAD BREAKDANCING SKILLZ?!

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 17 May 2004 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

"letting!"

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 17 May 2004 15:01 (twenty-one years ago)

"your!"

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 17 May 2004 15:01 (twenty-one years ago)

"table"! No, wait, I've gone mad.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 17 May 2004 15:01 (twenty-one years ago)

It was my table anyway.

― JimD (JimD), Monday, 17 May 2004 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

(I'm mostly concerned because at some point I'll attempt The Worm again and it will come off as The Dead Fish)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 17 May 2004 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Go on, show us your worm.

― JimD (JimD), Monday, 17 May 2004 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Urgh! Not that worm!

― JimD (JimD), Monday, 17 May 2004 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I do remember the discovery of the night being that if you shaved Charlie No.4, he'd look like Mark C.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 17 May 2004 16:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Not that I am advocating doing so, even if ~~it'd be really funny~~it is the only scientific way to prove that assertion.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 17 May 2004 16:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Andrew, I'm warning you, that's fighting talk...

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 17 May 2004 19:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I do remember the discovery of the night being that if you shaved Charlie No.4, he'd look like Mark C.

*cough* Er...whaaaat? Do I have any say in this shaving? I mean, I'm all for a bit of foam/razor action in the privacy of my own bathroom, but in a pub? On a saturday? And purely to make me look like someone else?

Seems a little excessive to me :-(

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Science will not be gainsaid!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

When my head is shaved I look like a gay Nazi alien. Is this the look you were after?

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)
