The chaps coped really well with my invasion of their personal space. A heady combination of nerves and alcohol. Apologies.

The off-colour word also greatly resembles "bullocks", though the poor bullocks ain't got them any more...

Great photos! About Table 54....sorry this tune just entered my head and doesn't want to leave Made into a hit in 1958 and seems to be still going strong all over the world.

And I can hold my own against any man in the bar... Sorry Miss Lagatta, as soon as I saw that the old retort swam into my thick head. "Let's be friends, I'll hold yours if you hold mine"

Which leads on to the old song
"If I say you have a beautiful body
Will you hold it against me?"

Good to put some faces to the names. But, with all of you shutterbugs there where's Bixa?
I'm so glad that y'all had a great time!! So wish I could have been there.

Everyone was threatened with horrible things if they posted any pictures of me that were less than gorgeous. Cheery posted a couple of really nice ones (even though they included me) on facebook, but they haven't migrated over here. We did have a wonderful time and laughed a lot. Everyone is even more friendly and fun than you've imagined. You would have been a great addition!

As the others can confirm, I did not take a single photo of the get together. I rarely take pictures of anything.

I suspect that inside that teeny umbrella that was present in all the pics posted was a mini camera etc.documenting everything both audio and visual. It's just not your style to be so sedate unless "they" drugged you. You don't fool me for a second....

Thank you, Cheerikins! My thought at the first picture is how sweet it was of those boys to take their old mother out for the day. (Who is the blonde chick hiding behind Mick's collar? Seriously, that's a great group of pictures which capture the mood of the day. I'm glad we have a selection and didn't rope some stranger into taking a group shot of us.

Even more gutted that I did not get there now I've read back through this thread. Roll on retirement so work life does not interfere in social life :)Anyway it looks like you all had a great time- next time I will be there Now got a lot of catching up to do on all the threads.

I thought of you all on the day and now I'm really glad to see some photos. Cheery, is photobucket holding your photos for ransom? Should we chip in? It might be worth it to see your photos of the group on that day.
I hope there's another GTG and lots more of us can attend. Anyone want to come to Harrisburg, PA?

Bixa yes definitely last pic .... Love that K2 ( I think) has brought his umbrella. Is that in anticipation for use in defence against the English weather or those rowdy AP's ?
