Be Excellent To Each Other

Some of us are having BeeXmas* party on the 11th December in [INSERT BAR NAME HERE] in London.
Would you like to come? You're more than welcome.

Everyone must bring a crappy "secret Santa" present which will put into Craster's sack, then we all get a lucky dip!

*This is the only time a capital 'x' is appropriate.

That's the day of the Egg's wedding!

Probably not. December is expensive enough.

That London? Nope.

Thanks but it's That London so I won't be able to make it.

No.

No, but if you want your hands in Craster's sack then feel free and enjoy.

I predict Mr Chris will be up for this until Dec 9th.

2012.

I would be up for it.

If Dave can pick me up and take me home I'll go.

I'm sure Malc will pick us both up on the way.

I'm not buying a present and I expect to be bought drinks and a meal worth no less than £20.

I'm in London for a course the following week from the sunday night if anyone wants a few jars in the Islington area, although i could travel.

I might be in hospital at that point, there is a chance that I might be in a hospital in That London. Here's what I suggest: instead of meeting in a bar, you all come to the hospital and see me. Still do the thing where everyone brings a secret santa present, but give them all to me. Also, bring cake. And Guinness (for medicinal purposes). Also, chocolate coins (decent ones, not ones that taste of soap). And monkeys.

Chocolate monkeys?

would be acceptable

I know a pub near a hospital in London. We can drink in the pub, and nip out between rounds to yell get well messages at Mimi in the hospital, and hurl treats through the windows.

Please do not throw pints of Guinness through the window. Just hook them up in a drip so I can drink as I sleep.

What if we gave the monkeys little barrels of it, like St Bernards do with brandy? Then they could clamber through the windows, deposit the booze and then return to pick up the chocolate.

That's the date of my wedding!

I'm sure I can nip to That London after photos and before food though.*

I'll need to be back for the cutting of the (monkey!) Cakes!


*not really

That is a GREAT idea. 928 bananas!

I think this is the perfect solution - though you all seem to be avoiding me by staying outside. Frankly, it will be warmer in the hospital, also it is ten days before my birthday, so bring cards. Not christmas cards with "Happy Birthday" written in them, that will make you an EX-boyfriend, as one EX-boyfriend will tell you. That may not be the reason we broke up, but it is the reason I remember.

Now, for secret santa... here's a few ideas:

A geometric colouring book with as many different colouring pencils as you can find. Not felt-tips in case I fall asleep and one falls onto teh bedsheets and it looks like I am bleeding to death, in chartreuse.

A wind-up veloceraptor (Monkey saw one in an advert and wants one)

Lots of plasticine.

One of those tubes of bubbles that don't burst when you land, but stick to the ceiling, etc.

Shoes that look like dinosaurs.

If more people are coming let me know and I will add to this list.

@TheEgg. Change the date. I hear that Spring weddings are en vogue. Also, marry Zardoz. I am expecting his child and someone needs to bring the child up whilst I am drunk in hospital with my iPod and colouring books.

The 11th of December is ten days before your birthday? Meaning your birthday is the 21st December?

WTF is it with that day and birthdays?!?

Parents made horny by summer?

I outright refuse to ask the 'rents.

The 13th is the LPC Chrimbo do.

So LVAP win.

Sorry.

No, it is my counting failure. Or rather, my utter refusal to count like everyone else.

Day 1 of the ten days: 11th December

Day 2: 12th December

...


...

Day 10: 20th December. Me.

Wait - that means The Gaywood has LIED to me.

Wait. What?

December minus 9 months is barely spring never mind summer!

Malc

This better explains people being horny in march.

That's how little interest I have in "Children; and the Manufacture Thereof."

Wanker.

Way to over-react to my personal feelings on the matter and making a joke about it and my mathsy mistake.

Sorry if anyone thinks I meant they shouldn't talk about (having) their kids though.

I thought MaliA was making an amusing pun on you not being into penetrative sex and therefore being into masturbation. At least that's what I thought.

Aye.

Thirded.

, although the word "amusing" may be improper in this context

Ohhhhhhhhh.

Well, I like the fun bit, obviously.

That is the most appropriate use of this Dimlie yet.

Because you can't tell what I'm doing with the other hand?

Apparently I'm hosting a European conference that weekend. Erk.

it was that, yes.

Is not needed then?

Malc

Two weeks tomorrow, and shit.

It won't necessarily be shit. From what I gather, myp's not coming.

You can never rule out a surprise visit.

Ok, yes you can. I'm not coming.
