Some of my most X rated memories are from 1976!!! LOL!

Happy Birthday Mrs Chips, I hope you had a lovely day!

I go off to work and come back to find you rowdy lot drinking on the thread. You'd better not spill anything and no smoking in here!

Lovely to "see" you all here and deep thanks for understanding where I was coming from this morning. I'm not someone who shares feelings easily and I was very nervous of exposing myself like that - whoever just gave the dirty laugh put down your drink and get yourself a black coffee:rotfl:

Of course we know on an intellectual level we have a limited time on earth but I suppose a lot of us have a sneaky feeling that an exception will be made in our case:rotfl: Now I know that one day I will get a tap on the shoulder and someone will say "HELLO MA" (another pratchett fan)

Actually I may get myself a small port and lemon and sit myself in the corner there.

Mrs_Chip

Jackie - :rotfl: it was a good year! You are going to miss a good one, take a bottle of Metaxa with you, we got loads! :rotfl:

Party 7 - ah, I show my age - it is what spotty 16 year-old boys took to parties in 1976 - 7 pints of beer in a wee keg, favoured by lads who thought they were all growed!

21 is fine, none of us are more than 21 in our heads!

Ma - make that a schooner and help yourself to a slice of cold pizza.

1976 - oh what a year, never to be forgotten summer and all life ahead of me - oops sorry, one too many bacardi and cokes, I'm getting maudlin!

Mrs_Chip

Where is Smiley, she has been MIA all day, she's not one to miss a party!

Thanks for the explanation on what party 7 is all about LOL I thought someone wasn't pressing the shift key hard enough for an exclamation mark (yes I realise that a ! is on number one but hey what can I say......I am a cheap date and that black russian went straight to my head )

Just catching up on the pages of partying, mines a vodka and lemonade :beer:.

Sorry I'm useless with acknowledging who said what but to the person/people who said live for now, and how things affect individuals - I had a similar experience where someone I didn't know that well died suddenly and that affected me more than any other because it was very unexpected. It was then I decided that I'd live my life for me, the stress I had wasn't worth it, and quit my job, moved to Wales and now have more free time and money than before even though I work fewer hours and earn less. I am thriftier, know all the bargains and appreciate my life much more than before.

I'm also a Pratchett fan and have every book - the first one cost me the princely sum of £2, how times change. I prefer the first wave of books and hanker after Rincewind, luggage and the old gang but as with everything time moves on and I reread them quite often.

.... so now I've pulled down the mood on the party I shall grab a sausage roll, pour another drink and slink off to a corner.:)
