    You lot near each other really should have a meet. I had a meet erm, four? Years ago with nice people before the economy board was invented and a special nice thread was born. With generali, who is proper nice and equally brilliant IRL, and lynzpower who is my very good RL friend now and some other people who have names i very much remember but have not been here for a very long time indeed. PN, I can remember you declining, still; :

    I was just thinking about that a few days ago! I'm in the UK in July and got to thinking about pubs and Borough Market and London generally.

    It was fun and you are a very interesting and witty person IRL.

    Aussie to English translation: fancy a sh4g?

    It also reads as if she's not interesting or witty online :)

    Ooh. Well I didn't mean either of those things! :o

    She is a very lovely and charming person. Very pretty too but also, very importantly, not Mrs Generali.

    I miss Lynzpower from this board. :)

    I just know Generali is lovely and brilliant too. I adore him. You're all a decent bunch really. ;)

    Michaels, if people are waiting for me to finish it will be a LONG wait. I wonder if the board will even still be here then.

    I'd think I'd be quite happy to do something when we are unfinished...if people can cope with rustic facilities (we have a loo). But I don't want to think about it just yet, and I don't know how to manage it so that we don't get the scary people. And yes, there is DH to convince. He's ok with net people now.not sure how he'd feel about hoards of them at the house though.

    Michaels V.s suggestion is excellent. They very kindly talked me through the options I had with our car (sadly they are unable to put a rocet under dh's bottom to have him deal with it :))

    Does anyone fancy a game of guess the wedding dress and see who gets closest? A bit girly (sorry michaels, dave, lj and our other regular males).

    My guess is, Ivory, classic style, little embellishment, something a bit like this one, (only not costing £190 obviously):

    http://www.weddingdressesfactory.co.uk/25-74-large/a-line-princess-long-sleeves-empire-waistline-chapel-train-satin-wedding-dress-wm-0015.jpg

    Only with a long train and longer sleeves but a similar shape neckline. And posher lace. And not made of polyester... Well a bit like the pic anyway. I definitely think it will have long sleeves and a lot of the wedding dress pics had no sleeves at all.


    I dunno, but yours seems a possibility. I do sometimes wish I'd had a dress. I would never ''do it again'' but maybe we'll have a big party for tenth anniversary with a big dress.

    I have made coronation chicken for DH (who loves any excuse for festivity and requested the dish).

    Just looking at the guests arriving on the Beeb. What has the normally gorgeous David Beckham done to his hair? He looks like David Brent!

    It was reported as black but looked dark navy to me too. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I'm flicking through news channels at the moment and can't believe that Fox News is covering it all morning in the USA. It's not even 5am there yet!
