    Evening, crashing back not the party.

    Froggy, stop lolling on the sofa and get your hands off the neighbours cat (oh I so nearly chose another word then :rotfl:)

    Radish, Cherry B seems to be empty, I'll have to finish the Advocat - does that go with Galiano?

    I missed the bacon and Brie butties GG, but where are the vol au vents? It's a special occasion girl, get back in the kitchen.

    Natty, hope you didn't have to keep the holding pen going for too long - I must admit I did think people would be dressed by now :rotfl:
