Why, why, why, why, why, oh why?: Nobody Told Me!!!

THUMBLE!!!! I tried to get in touch, but the message bounced.

Hey, some of us went to Oxford, England last June, saw John's show, and got to meet him and Garry afterwards. Not everybody was able to go, and that was sad--I was wishing some of the missing members could have been there. But it was fantastic meeting him in person. I'm sure there's a thread about it somewhere.

It was my first trip to England, and I hope it won't be my last. I had a wonderful time. I only had a few days, but I took in the Natural History Museum in London, ate at Ye Olde Jerusalem pub, attended services at St. Mary church in Nottingham, where one of my ancestors was married and another christened, and it was a lovely, lovely trip. I hope I can go back with Mr. and Miss Thing before she goes off to college.

How are you? Where've you been? We've missed you. Well, I missed you. I'll let the others speak for themselves.

I personally found it to be quite a trip.

We posted a video somewhere on the forum. I'll see if I can find it. It features Mrs. Thing saying to Zelda, "I would SO jump his bones!" LMAO!

How did I get so lucky? Thank you, Sis. Thank you Val. Thank yo Loz ....
And John Cleese. I thank you, my Foote thanks you and "I would so do it , too".










*Zelda/J/N is not fat. She ate and drank too much at the Red Lion and forgot her Queen Elizabeth undergarment. And a Doctor will never talk me into 'that' again*

Now I have beheld you, Mrs T, in the very personage. Lovely! what a fun little video, thanks for the link.

It would be nice if more people had announced their handles, I think I only caught you, Naughty Opossum, of course - another sweetie indeed - English Cad, and Chris14. Perhaps I could get a description of who else was who, so I can make the necessary connections. I realize I should know more just by personality, but I need some help with this one :)

Extraordinarily venturesome of you all - wish I could have joined you, but then no-one bloody told me, did they? :)

thumble

OK, was Lozz the one with the dark hair who said it was better than her (theoretical) wedding night? If so I agree, nice bit of crumpet ;) I seem to remember being enchanted by her sometime back in the haze of time.

I was in black with the deep pink top. Looked dazed, couldn't stop smiling. Sappy-sounding voice.

Yes, that's how I knew you looked huggable. That was were walking around in a daze repeating "I had my arms around John Cleese" or alternately "John Cleese had his arms around me", wasn't it? You looked so cute!

I have mentioned before...Brighton has excellant tattoo parlors...the signature is immortalized for all but my ex to see.
*Zelda smugly does a ballet lift for your viewing, uh, well, curiosity*

Did I say there was no Arab?


Queen Elizabeth undergarments may be purchased at certain "royalty UK establishments" for the hard of self control, so if you have that extra glass of wine it will be tucked exclusively within your skeletal frame
until you return home or the Towers, which ever comes first. Oh, the woes of life we bare :;)

Yes, Loz. You are hot..don't you know it. I am, too, but who is going to know it. *Pulls out pistol and shoots self in foot*.

I thought you were all lovely. I was hoping you wouldn't fall over something Mrs. T, as you were in a bit of a trance. I kept looking nervously at La Foote de Zelda sticking out, but you seemed to navigate around her quite nicely.

Loz, yes, you're a spicy hot little tamale, without doubt. But who was the young fellow howling gleeful profanities at the end, using the F-word to describe the Great Big One?

I think thumble means Turkish lol

Oh. Look! A popover...Is is true Naughty O? Is Thumble, Turk in disguise? Doesn't sound like him to me..
but you would know!




Just caught that about Mrsthing maneuvering around Foote. She would not trip on her own niece would she? Oh, coarse she maneuvered and for the good of it cause JC was right there and we were all trying to protect him from Mrsthing glamming onto his head and sucking his brains out before Garry could react! We were all very conscious of the danger. MT showed great internal , uh, well, she did well under the circumstances.

And yes, I was sort of in a trance. I tried and tried to shake it, but I couldn't. I guess I've wanted to meet him for so long, and have imagined what it would be like so many times, that when the actual moment came, I couldn't process it. Or something. I was a bit tired and jet-lagged, had a buzz on, and was emotionally wobbly from being in England on my own and meeting everyone and seeing John on stage from what was probably the best seat in the house (my eternal thanks to Garry!), then getting to meet him....I don't think I had any reserves left for controlling myself, so I just went with it. I felt badly, though. He might have actually talked with me if I'd been a bit calmer. I hope I get another chance.

I think *my* brains fell out somewhere along the way.

I kept all the text messages we exchanged during the show as a digital souvenir. Such a lovely 12 hours!

Naughty!!! It was cool how much John enjoyed your name, as we all do, of course :) I thought you were probably the most articulate of all the smitten stammering (yet beguiling) broads ;) Arse.

Is Turkish a regular, or just irregular?

Mrs. Thing. You should create a virtual online "Second Life" (is that what it's called?) Arse. In that world you could create the perfect Rhett-Scarlett scenario, arse, or a series of them, in which you dazzle him with your wit, and he sweeps you off your arse. I'm sorry, I seem to have developed a bit of an affliction from reading some of the other arse.

Anyway, you get the idea. We could all contribute to the devastating witticisms that leave John/Rhett's jaw hanging and his arse smiling.

TH

Au contraire, my sweet. In her alternate universe, where she can time any comment perfectly that comes into her head up to 24 hours later, Mrs Thing would make a perfect Scarlette, methinks.

I'd end up being Butterfly McQueen, squealing, "Oh Missy Scahlett! I doan know nuthin' 'bout birthin' no babies!"

Okay, I'll start a thread...

It was easy to identify me, Thumble, I'm sure about that. I'm the anti-type of John, the total opposite of that: fat, brown-haired and non-American.

Yeah, I know, but she lived in the US for a long time, as far as I know.

So it ended.

Zelda and foote are at the library on island as we cannot get a wifi connction n too cheap n lazy to call phone co. We really miss our cheesy buddy's...Baby sis is back in pot for some time with lots of wood being piled on. New Orleans was fun...Saints and Ala. game. Uh , I believe I was for the Saints. Tap danced in competition with Frenchman who follows band and I won. Band gave me loud applause...take that, butt! Tippity, tippity, tap tap!

Septic system not fixed. Digging hole in sand to save my $5,000! :)).

Nurse person yelled at me because I would not let her weigh me. Very rude. I know how much I weigh, what business is it of her's, I want to know!

Rod Stewart has left the Island! Not enough fancy restaurants.

Zelda is about to leave, too, if anyone wants to come to beach, tell MT. Bring lots of water and soap!
