What will you bring to the party?
Something savoury, something sweet, your favourite tipple and a small Secret Santa gift.
Merry Christmas

Huge Ackman?
Isn't he Australian?

And there's me thinking this was to be a refined bash๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

Hey up!
We have some very refined Aussies on here ๐Ÿ˜‚

As I havenโ€™t worn heels for years, Iโ€™ll need a hand, so Iโ€™ll have two escorts - Josh Groban who can hold a tune and David Ginola, ex footballer and now wine producer. He can just read me the telephone directory while I stare at him!

Allira Sat 13-Dec-25 20:24:20

David Ginola, ex footballer and now wine producer. He can just read me the telephone directory while I stare at him!

Hope he brings lots of sample bottles!

NanKate Sat 13-Dec-25 20:29:56

A LARGE packet of cheese and onion crisps. A thick rug and hot water bottle in case the party goes on a bit. Oh and a bottle of Bacardi, hic hic.

LauraNorderr Sat 13-Dec-25 21:21:18

That rug will be handy NanKate, this is just night one of a week long party ๐ŸŽ‰
Iโ€™m sure Aga has knitted some llama wool rugs. Whiffy but warm.

Anyone arriving in style, the helipad has been cleared in readiness. Sadly itโ€™s several miles from the Argy so bring your comfy shoes and carry the Jimmy Choos.

Can I come if I bring some home made Scottish tablet?

No, we donโ€™t have wifi ๐Ÿคญ

Why must we have llamas at our party? Theyโ€™ve gone out of fashion, itโ€™s all unicorns and giraffes now you know.Is there going to be fireworks?๐Ÿ’ฅ

I wondered that, too.
I've heard llamas mentioned on several occasions, but they must be before my time - literally on GN!

MartavTaurus Sun 14-Dec-25 09:20:22

Perhaps we could have snakes, spiders and lizards, like some children have to hold at their parties? ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ•ท

Samsara1 Sun 14-Dec-25 10:07:02

I just had a parcel of treats from Carluccio's I'll bring the Cantucci.

Sounds good tho I have no clue what it is๐Ÿคญ

Oreo Sun 14-Dec-25 10:27:35

Some sort of animal?๐Ÿ˜

Chocolatelovinggran Sun 14-Dec-25 10:52:25

Thank you Samsara, I don't mind if I do.
NanKate's blanket will be useful for FGT as she has forgotten to put on her vest, silly girl.

boheminan Sun 14-Dec-25 11:12:48

Is Cantucci something to do with fried chicken?

LauraNorderr Sun 14-Dec-25 13:08:08

Llamas were ordered in error when a patron of the ArgyBargy wanted a sparkly outfit and ordered gold lame ( I donโ€™t know how to put an acute accent over the e but you get the drift.
The first llamas arrived sprayed with gold sparkles and the rest as they say is history.

LauraNorderr Sun 14-Dec-25 13:10:58

MartavTaurus if we have to hold spiders and snakes then yes Oreo there are bound to be fireworks.

Scribbles Sun 14-Dec-25 14:03:16

If there are snakes and spiders, I won't be coming.

MartavTaurus Sun 14-Dec-25 14:11:23

Thank you for explaining LauraNorder.

M0nica Sun 14-Dec-25 14:39:43

The furniture removers delivered all our possessions yesterday, mostof it boxes of books. I will bring several boxes of books as a present for everyone and plenty of mulled wine to drink whileyou read them curled up in front of a fire.

kittylester Sun 14-Dec-25 16:00:44

Can I bring Geoffrey? He may not be a llama but he is quite well behaved.

Allira Sun 14-Dec-25 16:05:37

Depends.

Will he scoff all the chocolates and drink all the mulled wine?

If so, leave him at home! ๐ŸŽ„

Oh Laura my English slipped up. Wait a minute, it doesn't matter, I am not English. I came to this foreign country from Scotland for a year but it has been a long one, around 45 of them.

I will still come, wanting to eat fish and chips, wearing my night attire. Is that any better?
