You've known about this event for at least a month and a half. You know there's an open invitation to you to come to one of these events. You had your chance to organise to get here. Stop complaining.

Depends how much prep I have to do for tomorrow night. I should, with luck, be here around 9.30-ish.

Alexander's Horse · April 3, 2003, 19:34

I would prefer my meal be underprepared if full preparation means you don't play tonight thanks

Alexander's Horse · April 3, 2003, 21:33

All furnished, all in arms,
All plumed like ostriches, that witch the wind
Baiting like eagles having lately bathed,
Glittering in golden coats like images,
As full of spirit as the month of May,
And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer;
Wanton as youthful goats, wild as young bulls.

I saw young Harry with his beaver on,
His cuishes on his thighs, gallantly armed,
Rise from the ground like feathered Mercury,
And vaulted with such ease into his seat
As if an angel dropped down from the clouds
To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus,
And witch the world with noble horsemanship.

Better hope Hydey hasn't been watching "Mr Bean" reruns...

Alexander's Horse · April 3, 2003, 21:54

Hydey only watches cartoons.

No I prefer to watch sport

deity · April 4, 2003, 06:52

I'm extremely tired... sorry but prob won't play

Alexander's Horse · April 4, 2003, 09:16

takes him half an hour to decide to play for an hour..,,

deity · April 4, 2003, 18:52

I was working in that half hour!

deity · April 6, 2003, 00:12

Ok, around the table, this is how the voting turned out...

"Is it OK to cede a city in a non alliance game?"

Hydey - no way
Mrs Hydey - it's clearly an act of an alliance (Can't you see that Horse?)
Mrs finbar - well of course it's not
Mrs deity - no, it's not fair
deity - LOL, really Horse, play by the rules

That's 6 against ceding.

Those in favour?

Horse and finbar...

I rest my case

Alexander's Horse · April 6, 2003, 00:53

Is that the question you asked? You had your mouth full of Poached Pear with Vin Santo Sabayon at the time. I thought you said: "Is it okay to read a ditty (indecipherable, indecipherable)?"

Weren't you taught not to speak with your mouth full?

finbar · April 6, 2003, 01:52

Hey SuperSneak. Horse said he'd mail you some Poached Pear with Vin Santo Sabayon. Sorry, but his gastric juices got the better of him. I wrestled the spoon from his hand and saved this bit for you:

'Twas an absolute pleasure. You were all very, very well behaved. I put it down to the presence of the spouses. Without them, it would obviously have been carnage on your side.

Hydey · April 6, 2003, 08:12

Mrs Hydey and myself would like to thank Finbar and Mrs Finbar for their wonderful hospitality and a fantastic dinner.

*hydey back in Melbourne *

Hydey · April 6, 2003, 18:36

Peoples moniters make break down

Absolute pleasure, Hydey. You were the best behaved of all!

Presumably you found Australia's Wonderland? And made it back safely?

Those photos are, arguably, weapons of mass destruction. Dare I post any of them?

Alexander's Horse · April 6, 2003, 19:45

Got any of the parrot looking daggers at me?

In one of them, he's looking sideways at you with an enigmatic expression. Of course, it might be because Dermott's head is resting in his, um, lap.

I just hope you didn't overdose on fairy floss and red lemonade causing Mrs Hydey to have to slap you down all the way back to the airport.
