The Gransnet virtual Christmas party 2023

Oh yes please Oreo. Will you be wearing black and white? If so I will be a glorious counterfoil in orange and purple.

Sorry to be a bit confused but when is the Christmas Party? Today or Christmas Day?
I was getting ready, with one leg in my home made sparkly tights, and I reread invite, thought best to remove leg from above, and check?
BTW turned off gas under my sprouts - secret recipe - no cocktail sticks involved - so no problem there. I can reheat if necessary

I’ll bring the gin.

Thank you for the invite. I'm with family on Christmas day but I'll pop in to the party. Can't decide which Christmas jumper to wear. I have one with a sparkly Robin on the front, the other with two little dogs and mistletoe.

I'll bring a bottle of Advocaat and some lemonade so we can have Snowballs. Remember those?

Aldom, I was in-famous for my snowballs, when as a student, I had a job as a barmaid.
I am happy to run the bar, especially as I have spent a lot of time in bars 😉

Oh yes, snowballs! I will bring the glasses with the wee Bambi.

I will dig out Delia’s sausage roll recipe and make a pile.
They’re especially good for mopping up all the beverages that will be consumed.

Oh yes, snowballs! I will bring the glasses with the wee Bambi.

Do you have any Babycham, Parsley? A brandy and Babycham is lethal, as I know to my cost. Once consumed, expect two days in your bed. I told my mother I had 'flu!

Oh yes, we always have Snowballs at Christmas Marydoll. I'll bring some lime juice as just a little mixed with the Advocaat before adding the lemonade gives it a nice tang. I'll bring along Cocktail cherries to add a splash of colour, neatly arranged on cocktail sticks and balanced across the glass.

Ohhh yes! Marydol!! I remember Brandy and Babychan. I was 18 and at a Young Farmers party on a boat on Lake Ullswater. Not being used to alcohol I was drinking Babycham, or so I thought. The young farmers were ordering brandy and Babycham for me. The bar was below deck and when we went on deck and the fresh air hit me I was literally legless!! Remember that song Wide eyed and legless? That was me.

Ooh I'd love a Babycham.....do you remember the advert with the wee bambi? I've got a box of rum truffles I'll bring them too

What time is the virtual Christmas party?

Can we have a snowball fight? Do we throw the bottles or just the glasses?🍹🍹🍹

I’d rather you made sausage rolls 🤪🥳

Am in red and green, like an elf, a red sequin dress with green sparkly leggings and my bovver boots have red bells on.

Oh yes, brandy and Babycham .I was very unwell after too many of those.

Oh I thought you would dress as an Oreo. Silly me, that’s ordinary for you isn’t it?

Yeah, far too ordinary, I dress as an Oreo every day of the week so need to look more festive for a party.
I love your orange hair and purple hot pants.

Oreo 😁

Oh, I remember brandy and babycham, Marydoll! It was always a winter drink, cider and babycham was for the long, light summer nights at the caravan on the West Coast when the boys were wee. 🥂

Is that a vat of Baileys over there? Think I’ll just put my head in it and suck it all up.
No I don’t remember that song Aldom, but if you hum it we’ll all join in.
There’s also a barrel of oak aged babycham in the corner provided by the Mods for us, anyone got a straw?

Thanks Kim I’ve arranged a box of 24 large bottles of coffee cream liqueur (ok it’s Bailey’s; trying to sound posh).
A muscle-bound man will be carrying it in shortly.
I’ll drop ice into a dozen glasses and pour, to start us off this evening.
Should go nicely with the mince pies.
