shazzybird Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 What can I say.... Tabby got there first so she checked in (was arranged as we were sharing a room whoever was there first got the room and text the other the number to save time ) and got the tea ready for when I arrived (what a mate!) down to the bar for a swift Vodka(s) back up stairs shower and back downstairs for the night ahead. Excellent evening yet again and excellent company throughout. Table 6 (Get us!!!) Shazzybird and Tabby were a bit shocked at first to be so far up the order and when we saw who we were sat with we didn't have a clue who they were! Sat down to eat the meal and discovered that we were with the MIB, what good company they were, my god they have some stories to tell, especially "Ginger" Abigayle (Honey remember him?) and his mate Ken across the table telling the tales. Same old crew in the bar til the early hours but must admit at 3:35am I was beat the vodka got too much and I had to retire to my room. As I was sharing a room with Tabby (she makes lovely tea!) she set the alarm for "Silly O'Clock" anyway I was the first up dived out of my bed about 8am and declared how hungry I was, decided to open the curtains, I really hope no one was watching from any rooms opposite, not because of what I was wearing (thanks for the new jim jams ) but I couldn't open my eyes the sun was shining so bright it blinded me, was like someone had shone a spotlight right into my eyes!!!! made a change really as at 2am we were sat in the bar watching it snowing outside!!!, was seriously expecting to stay there another night, not that I would of complained the food was good and the staff this year were exceptional, even told us the bar was 24hrs woooooooooohoooooooooo Just the one little gripe (oh here she goes ) I had a conversation with someone in the bar last night and asked if they were enjoying themselves their reply was and I quote "it's ok but the age group is a bit to old" errrrrrrrrrrr hello it is the VETERANS!!!!!! apart from a couple of people (in fact I can only think of Steve Hone being from the 80's era) the rest are from the 70's back. I'm really not sure about their comment especially as they'd been before so knew what to expect! Nice to meet up with Norbold & Ken Burnett especially nice to meet John Chaplin. I now see Jason Crump in a different light, what a nice lad he is, incidently something that I did find amusing was whilst Jason was doing his after dinner speech a gentleman got up with his camera and took a photo of him, Jason paused and then said in surprise "Oh my god Ove Fundin has just taken my picture!!!" When I left the Hilton this morning, still slightly worse for wear, I thanked Vic White (as I do each year) for yet another wonderful and memorable night. I'm sure more of the evening will come back to me eventually over the next week or so and others will no doubt remind me of anything I said or done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
