Perhaps Nonu doesn't sleep at all on Christmas Eve, being too excited? wink

Pete Thu 20-Dec-12 19:44:32

Nonu Thu 20-Dec-12 18:52:42

4 sleeps before the Big Man arrives .

Pete Thu 20-Dec-12 18:52:27

What's that got to do with Lil's do...... wink........Regulars Only!!!

Oh heavens no! I will not set foot in the place on New years Eve! I just meant that it has become so famous for it's new years thing, that it has even been listed in the Daily Telegraph as one of the top 3 places in the UK to spend New Years Eve!

The police actually close the roads into the town from about 4pm, bit of a bugger if you were trying to get to Morrisons for a last minute pint of milk or a tin of whiskas!

There are actually coach parties that arrive from all over, god knows why.

Ana Thu 20-Dec-12 17:25:47

Why would we Google Bideford New Year? Unless, of course, you might be featured....wink

Anne58 Thu 20-Dec-12 17:17:21

Ana why what?

Ana Thu 20-Dec-12 17:15:29

Er...why? confused

Anne58 Thu 20-Dec-12 17:10:31

PS Pete I have a complete and utter hatred of New Years Eve! Refuse to go out, unless v. good friend invite us to dinner or somesuch.

We live very near to Bideford, which is allegedly one of the top places to go on New Years eve. I'm sure if you Google something like "Bideford New Years Eve" it will come up.

Ana Thu 20-Dec-12 17:08:53

How many will that be, then, phoenix? grin

Anne58 Thu 20-Dec-12 17:07:03

Just popping in, although may well be back later.

Mr P is home a day early! And with any luck, will not have to go back until Jan2nd at the earliest.

He has dropped a couple of hints re my present, I have the horrible feeling that we have each bought the same thing! Bugger.

Pete Thu 20-Dec-12 16:29:39

5 sleeps Ana

Think a lock-in is on the cards for Saturday night......possibly Sun and Mon as well... wink

Ticket Only on New Years Eve.........Lil has no time for 'once a year' drinkers !!

Pete Thu 20-Dec-12 00:05:43

Lil......I'm having to stay in the hotel tonight.....don't worry (as if) back tomorrow....I suppose phoenix will be too busy to fix a little fry up..... grin

I'll make a contribution too Ella . As for Pete , I think a link pasting lesson might be an option.

Mmm, on second thoughts perhaps not. Who knows what sort of stuff he'd be pasting, it could result in all sorts of unsuitable material, and if gramps got to see it, it might bring on one of his turns, and then where would we be?

Ana Wed 19-Dec-12 22:57:04

grin Or...d'you think that might bring back unhappy memories? hmm

Ella46 Wed 19-Dec-12 22:45:35

Thanks Ana that's an idea, or perhaps an inflatable Lisa doll?

Ana Wed 19-Dec-12 22:12:59

OK I'll give 50p towards them, Ella - you know they'll probably disintegrate after a couple of dunks in the slop bucket....

One of those Movember false moustaches would be a good idea for Pete - although perhaps not the ones with the dummy attached! hmm

Ella46 Wed 19-Dec-12 21:32:05

What do you think girls....I've got gramps some new long johns in bright red/white stripes, for Xmas..........do you want to chip in?
They were £3.50 from that market stall that Lil always sits under when it's raining.

I thought I might get Lil some new 'chicken fillets', but I can't think of anything suitable for Pete....

Anne58 Wed 19-Dec-12 21:06:38

Ana, do you think he really does know that aprons and rubber gloves are NOT suitable gifts?

Ana Wed 19-Dec-12 20:12:03

Hmmm....
