There are a lot of us on our own.
The last party was aborted due to greatnan's death !
Is anyone interested in one?
The venue I suggest should be

BALMORAL

Can somebody find a link and post it for auld langs syne so we can all do it together?

AlieOxon Tue 31-Dec-13 23:31:36

The Doctor's been assembling cabinets at people with that screwdriver again!

LizG Tue 31-Dec-13 23:32:01

Brilliant Alie that should do the trick. Thanks!

sunseeker Tue 31-Dec-13 23:32:04

Great punch when, I think I must have got a chill or something on the journey because my legs don't seem to be working properly and I can't see very well - I think I need to sit down

Galen Tue 31-Dec-13 23:33:01

Or, we could all tune to BBC 1. And sing together, probably easier!

AlieOxon Tue 31-Dec-13 23:33:49

Plenty of time yet Galen, we need some alcohol - and this barbecue is proving difficult to light!

Yes I know it won't do the carpet any good, but neither do the corgis....

Here's the lyrics to Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!

Chorus.-For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
For auld, &c.

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit,
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld, &c.

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld, &c.

And there's a hand, my trusty fere!
And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right gude-willie waught,
For auld lang syne.
For auld, &c.

AlieOxon Tue 31-Dec-13 23:41:27
