GN Annual Christmas Ball....all welcome

Klaxon to warn people not to look if Pants is indulging in pokery in the ammocks.

Goose grease for all the bare chests getting chilled.

Remember to remove the vest when wearing low cut gowns.

Low cut gowns, yes lots of the men are wearing those this season. ?

Maltesers in every party bag to take home.

Nibbles. Cocktail sausages..and tasty bites. And tasty men.

Pardon me; Have any been invited?

Oh! lemon did you invite any tasty men? .........any men? .......anyone? ?

Lemon has invited able seamen, lumberjacks and all the usuals from the Argy I think.

People! Of course I have invited the yummiest men, that goes without saying surely. All the ships company, the fire station crew, the barmen from The Argy, Tattoo Terence, Steamy Stan, Rich Reggie etc etc.
Plus! Lord L has invited his cricketing pals, his golf club cronies and half the bowls club ( although some of them are a but past it.)?

Question....I hear you ask ‘ what is a but past it?’?
Well, they are a bit past it, and their butts too, I think is the answer.

Not interested if their ‘buts’ are past it lemongrove what about a few big chests (Chippendales would do.....?)

Rufus..... are you making the journey from OZ to attend?
Really, we are remarkably ready and have reserved a room.?
Rooms are in short supply on the night of the Ball, but Lord L has cleaned out the stables and put a lilo and blanket in for you.

Sure.....there will be many big chests here, including my brother Sylvest.

That’s not Lilo Lil is it lemon. Rufus better watch out if it is. ?

Oh! lemon did you invite any tasty men? .........any men? .......anyone? ?
Unto each his own and there must be plenty of choices (for Rufus) after all the recent culling of Grandads!, but I need to know more about your (blind) taste test;
For starters, Li-Lo lilo doesn't appeal to mine; I 'd appreciate more comfort! And I'd also appreciate an invitation Doodle as you sound really desperate!'

Variety of nice chocs on dishes throughout the Manor for us just to help ourselves. I like the ones in the purple wrappers with a nut inside please.

Usually, we have dishes of marron glacé dotted around, Nan,
But your request has been noted.?

Onto W?
Wellingtons ( or galoshes as Lord L calls them) are available in the boot room in case of snow on the night.

Xtra lashings of ginger ale...for those unfortunates who have to drive home at 3 a.m. While we are necking the Bolly.

Yule logs of the chocolate variety for soaking up the bolly.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Lord L has cleaned out the stables and put a lilo and blanket in for you.
Lemon you're so thoughtful; the hallmark of your popularity; I look forward to snuggling down in my own straw ( I couldn't find a King-Size crib on E-Bay either!), whilst you sit by my side softly crooning "Away in a Manger, no crib ..." etc.
When I shut my eyes Roberta will be , to paraphrase a bit, "Running Her Fingers through my Hair!"

Enough to make a chap homesick; though on 2nd thoughts, keep up with your good deeds!

Bolshie guests ( in the stables)

Crooning? Certainly not, no cribs either.
