THE DEVILS WENT DOWN TO THE DLR

by eggbod @ 12. May 2008 - 19:10:53

I wozza virtual blog-virgin until last Saturday night at the Gipsy Moth. On a hot and sultry evening me and my partner-in-penance the delightful Rubychoos-today encountered Menomama's blog-meet massive crew. And what a really lovely bunch of people. It was a great shame that I never got to talk with Jenray, Louisa, Mrs F and Chyna. I was going to add Faffa to that list but vaguely remember talking with her about Del-boy's chandelier!!!! Well that's what happens when you are drunk.

Jakobite; No-but-yes-but-Bob; Ship's cat (cook, just teasing); and that bloke from Status-quo (Francis Rossi) wearing Claire's accessories in his ear lobe were all a real treat too. Row and the lads (Time-wastin'-warlord and Mr Primark) were great fun. And Row it was a great pleasure to meet you finally ;)

I don't know about you lot but we were pissed and missed the last train to Nashville. Leaving us wandering around the middle of Canary Wharf like two rejects from Blade Runner. Somebody ended up taking their choos off and scurrying along in bare feet. Wedges love, that's all I have to say on the matter - Wedges!!!!!

It's a disgrace that a couple of real ladies can't flag down a coach-and-four at that hour. No amount of hanky-swooning was successful. Forced to wail down a black cab and bereft of a considerable wadge later, we banged and clattered our way through the hallowed hall of home, harrumphing with indignation.

Moral of the story. When out and about and having a good time, wear a bastard watch. It might just give you a vague idea of the time.

Especially as I had written down the last trains to Nashville on a piece of paper and put them in my jeans' pocket. Well have you tried to read, let alone understand a train time-table when you are pissed?

It was very noisy but I'm sure there was a great deal of logistics involved in trying to choose a venue that would suit everyone. I know it's not easy but it was nice to be out on a glorious evening, even if we were chased out of the beer garden!!!!!!

Lordy, England has become a bossy country ;)

You were chased out of the beer garden!! When and why?

I don't think I was bright enough to ask that question: Why?

And as I never wore a watch........;)

I've just read Rubychoo's post so know why now...LOL...guess noise might have been a factor...think my watch is embedded in my arm now...:) Great big hugs..

'twould scare me to death to meet any other Bloggers, one would be at once found out to be a fraud because I'm nowt like the alter ego that rants on this hallowed turf, I'm afraid it will always be cyberworld for me as the real world and indeed the real me are far too scary.

Bradders lovey, me likewise. I will have been blogging 3 years in August and this is the very first time I have met other bloggers en-masse.

It helps if you go with a mate to be honest. As, like you, I'm all mouf and trousers on blog and then quite shy when meeting a crowd of people. But everyone was really lovely. I know we all say that but it is true

I'm glad you all had a great time but for me that meeting up thing takes something away from the mystique of the ranty blog thingy, on a blog you can be someone else, when you go out you have to be yourself or be exposed as a liar, Blogland for me always, mind you I am a miserable old bastard.

Not true sir, not true.

A curmudgeonly, miserable old bastard maybe!

I do still enjoy a good old rant tho'. I would've been sectioned before now if it twasn't for blogging

It's a strange thing but usually I make up a lot of what I write but just sometimes I unleash with really personal things so I think it's therapeutic for me.

I never make up anything on blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really am Lady Eggbod and my house dwarfs buck palace ;)

But I agree that it's therapeutic for a lot of people. It's a way of sounding off and that is not bad thing. Especially considering our stupid government.

It's a little tiresome having to negotiate the all rollers in the drive, but somehow ( and god only knows how)...

We managed !

Rubes there are only 3 Rolls-Royces......the Maserati and the Bentley are parked out of sight by the Stable block and well you know it.

Hah! Serves you right for getting your cultural references cluttered.

Clearly, in my version of the bible, it is Mashville as by that time (last) we was all mashed! (Moron - duh)!

it was a genuine pleasure to meet you. We'll have to find somewhere quieter next time. Preferably somewhere you can take your drink with you when you nip out for a fag.

Thank you love what a gent you are!

The thing is, I don't smoke but might just take it up again to evade the noise pollution inside a pub like that. Where you there when we got "told" to get inside? I had joined the smokers outside and we all had to go back in!

Yeah, I was still inside at the time and noticed the decreased amount of elbow room, which is why we decided to go to the other pub.
Stupid policy at the Gipsy, you can smoke out the front, but not with a drink. :crazy:
I'm glad it's not my local.

I don't even have a local........

When I was a kid we grew up in a shoebox and had lick road clean wit tongue!

Likewise medear, and then some. And any time you fancy winging the private jet up to Manchester, do feel free, darlink!

Is a bastard watch one that refuses to give you the correct time, and makes a pass at your sister?

No but close....

A bastard watch is an illegitimate time waster!

Couldn't you have checked the time on your mobile phone woman? Where's your initiative?

I could, but it would have meant rummaging around for a monocle or in my case binoculars!!!!

A ladies handbag is a capacious affair. And not to be invaded in an irksome nor capricious manner.

In other words..........I COULD NOT BE ARSED!!!

In the words of the old bint from Titanic: 'a woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets...and so is her handbag.'

Such pearls of wisdom...........

I'd rather a stranger rifled through my knicker draw than through my handbag!!!! Not that a stranger would have a choice you understand!

Well neither of us can call ourselves virgins anymore;)

I'm sure everyone's hearing was slightly impaired at the Gipsy but I would have never have guessed you had a hearing problem.

It must be nerve wracking enough without one.

And quite a conversation it was as well lol:)

Lovely to meet you, must talk more next time!!

Take care

Hugs xxx

No we were very civilised lol:)
