The pre Eurovision excitement
at Chateau Castle Greyskull is tangible and almost too much to bear. Our
preparations have been nothing but robust and thorough …. probably more robust
than even Bagpuss’s Englebert’s
in Baku. We are resplendent in our
Euro-attire thanks to Darrell .....
..... And we have locally sourced seasonal comestibles for our delectation
during the evening, including some very patriotic and apt Limited Edition red, white and blue M & M’s
….. which we have now had to hid because
Nigel has worked out how to open the resealable seal and has already
availed himself of half a packet ........
....... we've also got a "nibbly" smogasbord of pork scratchings, marmite cashews, barbecue flavour Pringles,
pickled onion Monster Munch with Vimto and Dandelion and Burdock pop as our
liquid refreshment of choice. Darrell
mused upon viewing our selection that we appeared to have leant more towards
the savoury rather than the sweet and wondered if this was a spooky prophetic omen …..
an omen for what, I just don’t have the faintest clue!!
We have also robustly tested
Darrell’s phone, as he is planning to twitter our comments during the evening......
........ imparting our insightful and informative opinions and observations to all his followers
….. it’s just soo exciting. …… we are just hours away from the televisual highlight
of our year …… Come on Bagpuss Englebert, the nation is behind you!
Oh and come on Emin ..... we are anticipating a quite wonderful interval too!

ReplyDeleteHave fun boys - won't be able to follow your tweets as will be at a Eurovision party at my Mum's and she doesn't have the internet.
ReplyDeleteLooking great and oh, so on target for this momentous and exciting occasion. You do have a tremendous variety of nibbles! Christopher and I will be cheering for an Englebert win! Keep your hands limber for quick response and ease of cell phone use. Good Luck and Love to you ..Dianne
ReplyDeleteBang banga bang.
ReplyDeleteInky pinky parlez vous.
Have a great time - Marmite cashews sound great.
Oh boys, not around yet? Don't say Nigel is barfing down the loo after making a pig of himself and you're lying under the bed clothes in mourning? I think it was pre-ordained about Bagpuss - although we all hoped for a miracle :(
ReplyDeleteI sat right through the whole turgid event hoping to catch Graham Norton give you a mention in despatches. He seemed to be the best act of the night in fact.
Onwards and upwards - it's almost the Jubilee :)
Love, Di xx
At one point, Hank and Marvin fell right off the sofa - their mishapsmight have been helped by me shouting and jumping up and down in frustration though :) xx
