You can lead a horse to half a glass of water, but....

I'm suffering from Wardrobe Anxiety. It hadn't occurred to me that we were getting Poshed Up for the occasion!

Now you're being naughty.

And as much as I love Nick Frost I'd rather sleep with Daisy Haggard (esp in her Psychoville incarnation!)
OOH! and The Hotness too!

Oh chick - two 99p tops from eBay because my current size has gone from High Street to Larger Lady to Carnival.
Don't you worry, no-one is going to be asking who dressed me, unless they have a daughter wanting a marquee for a wedding.

Oh crap, crap,crap....5 inches of snow over the last 3 hours.

It's still snowing. Can we cross our collective fingers now for a clear rail journey up to Scotland?

They're predicting 'heavy snow' in many parts of the north of England, and Scotland, throughout today and into the night.

Sundae · 01-07-2011, 07:38 AM

Reports seem varied.
The English snow is already passing and from webcams it looks like rain in Glasgow.

I'm confident.
FSM knows our quest is fair and true (perving over a Scottish/ American homosexual) so will clear a path for us.

DanaC · 01-07-2011, 07:41 AM

Well, the English snow is alive and well and still falling on my part of the country. The road down to Mum's house is unsafe for driving.

But yes. FSM will come through for us. I have faith.

Sundae · 01-07-2011, 07:47 AM

Where is your mobile number on my IM, lady?
You realise I'm leaving in - OMG! - 1 hour 45!!!!!
I'm meeting my bro at Euston at 17.30 and he's meanly refusing to make it any later than that.
On the other hand he is buying me tea and giving me some spending money, so I can't complain

The second I leave this house I'm on holiday. It's all good.

I'M ALL PACKED!
Oh, except for my slippers - to wear on train and in room.
Must go and pack them nowish.

glatt · 01-07-2011, 08:04 AM

Pics or it never happened!

Shawnee123 · 01-07-2011, 08:26 AM

I won the lottery last night, so am taking a first class flight there immediately. Just let me sit and watch you guys, you don't even have to acknowledge me, because I bet you will have FUN!

OK, I didn't really win the lottery, but I too want pics because how much fun are you guys going to have?

Sundae · 01-07-2011, 08:30 AM

I wish it were true, Shawnee - you'd love panto for a start.

Now don't y'all worry. Once I leave this house I will be a tourist, so there will be photos galore. It's all new to me too - I've never been on a sleeper train, never spent any real time in Glasgow (we stopped on our way to Oban, for lunch), never eaten Russian food and never met Limey. All those first events are well worth documenting.

Shawnee123 · 01-07-2011, 09:06 AM

If I had won the lottery, I would be there anon.

(See how well I'd fit in, with my command of the King's English?)

Sundae · 01-07-2011, 09:18 AM

You'd be pretty old-fashioned, chick. We've had a Queen since 1952

Limey's probably the only one of us with anything approaching RP.
I'm daughter of London parents (well, technically Mum is an Essex Girl) and swallow my consonants like they were especially delicious. Living back here with the rents has eroded my diction and dipthonged my vowels even further. Dana is of Northern stock - beautiful to listen to, but not considered top drawer. And even Limey is now an honorary Scot, even if it hasn't touched her accent yet.

You'd have fit in, I promise.
Don't forget the ostensible reason for our GTG is to see a Scottish born man with an American accent perform in a uniquely British style of entertainment. We welcome diversity this weekend

Anyway - I'm off.
Off to double check my packing, cuddle the Diz cat and then get into non-cat-haired clothes.
Next time you hear from me will either be from Glasgae, or sometime next week (depending whether we get the guesthouse laptop to play with).

Buh-bye.

DanaC · 01-07-2011, 09:21 AM

Fuck...Diversity aren't gonna be there are they? :P

limey · 01-07-2011, 09:31 AM

Never mind the guesthouse laptop, I'mma bringin'a netbook. And Ipod touch with wifi ...
