Hi Nuala

Actually if you watch carefully towards the end, Mike was asked to face his Mobsters who he had never seen before and one by one guess who we all were. Actually he did a brilliant job - he got me first time. Providing they have left that in you could be enlightened although understandable, there were a few that wanted to remain faceless/anonomous for their own reasons. We shall see.

As Maty says, its funny when we had all been chatting online for so long and knew each other so well, when confronted with each other's real names it was a bit of a puzzle. The funniest one was one of our group has a man's christian name. This person got lost in Littlehampton the day they arrived and texted me to ask for directions. I offered to meet them enroute, I took a few of the group with me. Nicca was designated to text her back and ask if they were male or female. Female she was. That was a giggle.

Another women we were looking for turned out to be a male.:rotfl:

All in all it was a great laugh all round.

MW:cool:

That's so funny MW! :rotfl:I will be watching very carefully!
I look forward to toasting all of you tomorrow night! :T

Why not, precisely? I can do a withering stare if I need to (and I have my Angry Eyes on)

The Littlehampton Three have just had their Christmas lunch and opened their presents and are taking up horizontal positions around the house, and feeling slightly sick. Nice though!

And the local rag just phoned... coming round tomorrow to interview us and do some internal pix. I hope that means pix of the house.

They struggle to get any news to fill the Christmas editions...

As long as they don't stick around to record your reactions when watching the show - GET THEM OUT. They can't be allowed to spoil that moment. Does this mean you have to run around and clean the house for tomorrow - keep your nerves at bay though!!

I wonder who put them up to the article, I would have thought that would be long forgotten by now. Maybe DIY SOS need the publicity. The Radio Times makes no mention of the Big Build and the write up is rubbish. i.e. DYI'ers who botch their jobs in the house etc. Bl**dy Liberty.:mad:

The Littlehampton Three sounds like some sort of dodgy team of bank robbers :rotfl:

I do hope my favourite boys enjoyed their lunch and presents and that Santa was good to them all

Who the eck is Arthur?

Guys, please keep all your fingers and toes crossed that I can make it tomorrow night, either to the virtual party or to MatyMoos!! If not, I shall be thinking of you all and watching it the second I get in from work. Lots of people are going to watch it too as I've been posting it all over my facebook!

Glad you and the boys had a nice Christmas Mike... I'm still waiting for the postman to deliver my card! x

Fingers are firmly crossed in this house

Think Arthur may be Neville's brother :rotfl: Or maybe not.....

The BBC PR people will have sent out press releases in this area.

Yes, they loved their lunch.

No, Santa wasn't very good to them. Continuing financial downturn ya know...

Yes, we have had a wonderful day. Really, really excellent.

And the few presents we have given each other meant as much as any we've ever exchanged.*
