On a buggy you have made
When you land upon your head
And you've been 'Slade'" ?

Plans for the Virtual Christmas Sleigh Ride/Beano are being cobbled together. As it's a Christmas Day event, I'd suggest 25th December would be a good day for it?
To pull the sleigh, so far I've managed to enlist Paxo and Stuffing, two chickens from next door, they desperately don't want to be next door on Christmas Day
but I do feel a few more little beasties would be beneficial, so if you know of any who wouldn't mind being harnessed up to do a bit of pulling, please bring them along (or perhaps you'd like to give it a go yourself)?
Elves are being difficult to enlist. None of them will work on a minimum wage and are demanding triple wages (what with it being Christmas). Any suggestions here?
Shall we break the journey up into sections? Perhaps starting at Inverness c12.00am, stopping off at a hostelry 12.15pm (followed by a communal wee stop (after around 5 miles - c12.18pm)? Using this criteria throughout, I reckon we'd hit Lands End at around 11.00pm 30th December, just in time for New Years Eve celebrations
.
These are just my thoughts to what I hope will be the beginning of a madcap Christmas Day journey, that only the likes of us GN'rs can achieve, all suggestions (mostly) gratefully received
EVERYONE'S WELCOME TO JOIN IN AT ANYTIME. WE'LL BE PICKING UP THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, THROUGHOUT THE DAY...COME AND JOIN US
I managed to hitch everyone up to the sleigh, apart from the TE, who'll be snatched off the washing line on our way past (hopefully minus saxaphone
.
Right! "cluck, cluck, he-haw, woof, neigh, grumble".....WE'RE OFF!
NINATHENANA WHERE ARE YOU? I need someone to navigate
....I thought Eritrea was just outside Stoke on Trent....
....
Mulled wine on its way Nellie (or mullet wine as the refer to it in Switzerland!) Happy Christmas one and all. I'm off to find where I've hidden the Christmas pud 
??
Merry Christmas one and all !!
TE is up and ready and will be hanging from the washing line any time now for pick up when you're ready !! You'll recognise him as he is currently playing the saxaphone that some thoughtless kind person bought him !!
Good morning Jane10 - you can stop jumping up and down with excitement now...the Santy's will be on their way soon.
I'm in the garden hanging the washing out over some hedges at the moment. Paxo and Stuffing have laid an egg, so I'll have them lightly boiled (why does that feel canniballistic?!) for breakfast before I start getting dressed. The red suit's hanging over a bush to dry, the whiskey's been taken out of the peat bog, and the mince pies are finely burned to a cinder. I'm awaiting ninathnana (she's obviously overslept - again) then we'll be off at around 12.00.
Anybody in GNLand can wave us down anytime, anywhere.
Don't forget, this is Virtual Reality Land where anything is possible! HO! HO! HO!
