Cards for DebbieMany thanks to those of you who helped by signing a card for Debbie.
I am happy to report that i received a phone call on the bus shortly after leaving Fleet yesterday. Debbie was delighted to have had 4 cards through the post!
Well done to Bandy, Big Ted, Andy and Nathan as your cards were first home!!

So, update us on whoes have arrived.
It's like a little competition. Who ever's card arrives last has to sit with Kev Snoddy at the Festival and buy all the postmen a beer.
Hang on a minute................
|
Sarah_Seahawk
|
Not sure who were next in, but I'm out with Debs tomorrow so will update...
if she's still talking to us!!
And I've already had to sit next to the Snod on the bus!!!

Congratulations to today's arrivals....
Theresa and Frank!

Pipers doing very well thanks.

ZedHorn

Sarah_Seahawk

|
ZedHorn

|
bassdrumal
|
Having seen her at the Ball, she was delighted that ten cards had been sent- "Wow, it was amazing to think they thought of me while i was at home"........Little did she know - clearly
|
ZedHorn
|
she loved her gong too.....
|
Sarah_Seahawk
|
OK... todays contestants are...
Zed! Niall! - presume trombone holder. Les!
Congratulations! You are exempt from the Snoddy-sitting duty!
Debs is delighted with the gesture but still unaware of the complete implications but is asking for a link to get onto here... stalling as only I can!! 15 in... 35 to go!
Alaaf!
|
ZedHorn
|
hoorah - i'm not last!!!!
|

Any Seahawkers Yet? We should have a sweepstake
|
Sarah_Seahawk
|
I'm sure Debs would have mentioned any Seahawkers... everyone so far has been acquaintances...
Stop press... just got a text... 3 more cards... info to follow....
|
Sarah_Seahawk
|
Today we have cards from...
Tom! Dave Maitland! (1st Seahawker!) and one with a German type message/name which could be Bob as I recall! 
Funny thing but Debs seems to think I might have something to do with this...

acquaintances... but we shared a hip flask 2 years running - I saw her as so much more than that!!! 
|
Sarah_Seahawk
|
I think you are the exception to most rules, Zed!
|
ZedHorn
|
happy with that!!!! rules are only there to be broken.... bit like bandies and Koln virgins really!!!

Where is Stig when you need him? I'll quote him -
...
|
Stig
|
...
|
Sarah_Seahawk
|
Oh Stig... you do make me laugh! 
Direct quote from my text message today...
'Another 2 cards today... that's 20... is that the lot?' 
When I'd stopped laughing I replied
'Shouldn't have thought so...' 
|
Sarah_Seahawk
|
Oh and the follow up was...
'Today I have mostly been getting cards from Uncle Ron and Anne B'
Thankyou Debs! Funny even when you're not here!!
|
ZedHorn
|
well at least Debs won't have to look at the photos to know who went this year...
I hope that she is arranging them in rank and file marching band formation, Ron at the front, clarinets at the back... Prentice, Ann Bebee, you and I continually moving about in the middle, dancing and retrieving beer from the crowd!
|
bassdrumal
|
Hell, i moved around so much, i think i got dizzy at one point! Cymbals, dancer, Side Drum, Drum Major, but my best part..............The Fool

|
ZedHorn
|
But the Stig wrote it in German! Translated it read
...
|
bassdrumal
|
Im sorry Zed, you must be confused with your multi-tasking linguistic skills, I think you have translated it wrong, it should read
...
Pop it in Babelfish x

I was going to say stop picking on Dolly, but then I saw the incorrect apostrophe use. Carry on to the left!
|
Anne Picc

I missed that one. Honey, how could you!! Have I taught you nothing?

Sarah, how are the cards for Debbie coming along?
|
Sarah_Seahawk
|
Nice diversion Axl... 
I especially like the use of cones...
No news from Debs in the last few days... perhaps she realyy isn't talking to me now!? 
|
ZedHorn
|
perhaps the postie has murdered her out of hatred! best send her a late valentines card just incase! or an early Xmas to beat the rush!!
|
bassdrumal
|
Good call Zed, May see what sort of comedy card I can find when I go to my room (No....not like a naughty boy), maybe I will get one from town shortly
|
Chrissie B
|
Any word on how many cards Debbie has received so far?
|
bassdrumal
|
I did think it had all gone quiet on the card front, maybe Debbie has refused to speak to Sarah any more !
|
Sarah_Seahawk
|
Had a text today - just said
'31!'
I let Debs know that there is a 'prize' for the last card home.
Debs 'Just had another batch. Now 34. last from John the piper.'
Sarah 'Ah... but is it the last?'
|
ZedHorn
|
what's her address.... shall we all send her a proper easter card for proper easter....
|
bassdrumal
|
Gee Zed, that would be like a normal thing to do. Wheres the fun in that exactly?
|
greenfairy
|
How about Christmas cards?
|
Axl
|
Christmas is still too normal, even at this time of year.
Happy hanuka?
Congratulations, it's a boy?
You're finally a man, now you've been circumcised?
etc
|
Sarah_Seahawk
|
I still have a pack of easter cards! We could produce new stickers....
|
ZedHorn
|
alaugh????

and no it wouldn't be normal....
Firstly - I don't do normal!
Secondly - I don't really do God, or Easter therefore don't send people cards for such a thing
Thirdly - neither do you or lots more of us
Fourthly - there is fun to be had wether that's on your own or creating mischeif elsewhere!
therefore I conclude it would indeed be funny!
|
bassdrumal
|
Hoorah for funny
and
Hoorah for Zed!
|
ZedHorn
|
thankyou.... hoorah for gummy bears!!!
|
bassdrumal
|
How could I?
Forget Gummy Bears indeed.......I need remedials - know where I can find some?

Sarah told me to do it.....and if you look closely the card from Anne and Dolly is in Anne's handwriting

Dolly you wimp, just because neither of you could understand simple instructions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Sarah_Seahawk

 it's been a while...
Debs has acheived the heady heights of 46 cards! 
Some more people off the Sneddy Watching Tour are Dave Prentice, Rich(?), Axl and Gromit (No 42 - the meaning of life).
Not really sure who's left, but Debs has kept them in order of arrival so when they're all in we'll put a list together a la the countdown style TV shows.
|
Axl
|
It's been a bit quiet on this string. How's the list coming on, or is she still getting them in dribs and drabs?
|
Big Ted
|
Sarah....Sarah......can we have the countdown now please!!!!!
