We are not going to get much transport revenue from this lot. Maybe we should tax vodka jelly.

GoldenGran Thu 22-Mar-12 16:52:42

Can I join you. And NO to tax on vodka jelly. It is funded by donations and the virtual kitty. No kittylester I didn't mean you. wine

Notsogrand Thu 22-Mar-12 16:59:10

A new VAT then? Vodka Added Tax.

Anagram Thu 22-Mar-12 17:03:09

I thought this was the fun party? It's not going to be if we're slapping VAT on vodka....

Elegran Thu 22-Mar-12 17:06:25

Its OK. That motion was defeated unanimously.

Notsogrand Thu 22-Mar-12 17:06:33

Party is not until tomorrow.
This is just the open invitation!

Anne58 Thu 22-Mar-12 20:47:37

I don't like vodka or gin, although I can, if pushed, manage a proper martini. I'm actually a scotch & soda person.

jeni Thu 22-Mar-12 20:48:30

Have some vat69 hic!

johanna Thu 22-Mar-12 21:06:25

Can I join?
I am on my way.
Can bring cheesecake and Pavlova to go with the Vodka.
The VAT69 for the Pope's phone number is brilliant!!!!!!!

Jeni,
You were not thinking of Soixante-neuf du Pape were you?????????????????????.....................................

Anagram Thu 22-Mar-12 21:17:26

Jeni, I think some party members have jumped the gun a bit, as it were....
We may have to keep future party meetings' dates and venues secret until the last possible minute....wink

jeni Thu 22-Mar-12 21:39:10

It's NOT UNTIL TOMORROW !
The vat69 is part of an old joke, where Padraig the local drunkard applies for a post as a church warden
The committee interviews him and asks
What does the name Booth mean to you?
Ah, general Booth, founder of the SA.
And Gordan?
General Gordan , relief of mafeking
And vat69?
Ah to be sure, you've got me there! But could it be the popes phone number?

glammanana Thu 22-Mar-12 22:07:59

Anagram Thu 22-Mar-12 22:11:45
