As usual, there will be a grand Christmas Ball , and the invitations have already been sent out to you all, on very expensive hand crafted cards with scalloped 22carat gold edging.To be held a few days before Christmas and the venue is Lemongrove Manor (in England, somewhere in the back of beyond).To those of you who have never attended before,
Say what you will be bringing and a line or two of chat ( or a much as you want to) although it’s alphabetical in nature (although we usually get very mixed up) this thread is a cross between a game and general chat.Dress beautifully please?

Poteen! Aga has brewed a whole vat full for us and Lord Lemongrove has just drunk a pint of it and has fallen down the marble staircase.

Quick! Call the firestation ( not an ambulance, Lord L is fine,
He falls down the stairs every other week, dead drunk ).The firemen promised they would be here by 9.30 to show us how to pole dance, and I am wearing my slinky dress all ready for the fun.

Ready or not here they come......that pole looks a bit rusty lemon are you sure this is a good idea.
