    Is that MF PO? I am assuming so and i feel like doing :j:j:jbut DH has already thought me a bit weird tonight and i daren't freak him out anymore. I will raise a glass to you, and look out for your post on the roll of honour as mine won't be there for several years yet.


    (Bad students i used to serve used to do something called a strawpedo. They would get a bottle of fizzy alcopop and put a straw in the neck bent over, then drink via the neck in one go. They had a league table pinned up of who could do it quickest, and used to line up along the bar to do it. I heard them once after an end of term bash doing it with bottles of wine each :eek: in the room opposite me, and then the morning after you had to dodge the piles of vomit leading to the shared bathroom. So disgusting. I don't think any of you lot compete with that. )
