Tantalisingly late Tuesday

Posted Tue, 20/07/2010 - 19:36 by mike.trotman

Evening all. The understudy has been let out of his cage once more, to regale you tales of fun and frolics in the world of NAFOF.

Last Wednesday we tagged along with Hannah to watch 'Shrek Forever After' in glorious 3D. Bet it was fabulous. You just cant go wrong with a film about talking donkey's, talking cat's and a bald green ogre. Marvellous.

At the weekend, Paul guided us up some trees to spend some quality time with some Llamas at the 'Larmer Tree Festival' near Salisbury. Being allergic to wool I just couldnt take the risk, but apparently there were also a few musicians, comedians and other artists to distract you, if you're not the humble Llama's number one fan.

Terribly late Tuesday

What a week. Mysterious volcanic eruptions in far flung lands, leading to mass disruption and mythical stories of 'invisible ash' grounding those big, fat, flying machines we know and love . The mild mannered Nick Clegg triggers mass swooning and hysterical scenes of 'cleggmania' to rival the Beatles. Pinch me if i'm dreaming. All that and i'm expected to step in to the breach to write another fashionably late Terrific, but a tad late Tuesday wafflefest... who'd of Adam and Eve'd it???

Last week started early on a Sunday, with a very religious offering. Paraletic Mike delved into his sumptuous and outrageous wardrobe yet again, and outdid himself with a very 'cheeky' bare bottomed Monk ensemble at Reflex, to help 'not celebrate' his advancing years. Im sure all those Vicars and Tarts had a fabulous time..... best not to ask though, just say 10 hail Marys and pray for forgiveness.

Terrific Tuesday.... the new Monday.... again.....

Good evening my little Questarians....

Dont worry guys, our super chair person Kirsty has returned (Yippee), so its back to a marvellous and timely Monday blogging with a dash of huggles, and lots of grammer, spelling and piccies from next week. This will be my last shambolic, and im ashamed to say late offering, until I have spent at least six months on the naughty step, and thought about what I have done.

What did we get up to last week?

Terrific Tuesday.... the new Monday

If lateness were a crime id be a lifer........ Apologies for the lateness of this blog but everything comes to he who waits....

So, what were we up to last week, I hear you cry?
Wednesday saw Gordon,Sophie,Hannah and smoking Steve venture down to Oxford Street in an attempt to find some tasty and cheap 2 for 1 pizza at Pizza Express. To their dismay, they were told there would be up to an hour's wait to fill their empty stomachs..... they couldnt wait so hightailed it round the corner to Prezzo. General consensus was that food was classier if a little heavier on the wallet, and we may be tempted to try this place again when the next Orange Wednesday comes around.

Marvellous Monday (on a Monday!!)

Howdy folks. Hope your Monday is marvellous and not just manic. I have suprised and surpassed myself by actually writing this mini blog on the correct day. Bet our 'All Powerful chairman' wishes she was still in freezing cold blighty and not in baking hot Africa, to witness this historic event!!??

Anyhoo, ill make this brief and to the point and will not be using any colourful coulours or snazzy pictures to illustrate my points as I am merely a bloke and only a temp.... SIGH. The web mistress may see fit to tart it up a little if you are really impressed by that kind of thing? :)

Last week was a little quiet in NAFOF land, but we still managed to squeeze in a little rolling up, down and into walls, with the 'skate master'. Looking forward to more of the same this Friday, combined with some fabulous dance moves 90's style. Speak to smokin' Steve if you want to wheel yourself along.

Marvellous Monday on a Tuesday

Its a new year (well Chinese anyway), so you have a new host. That's right, you've guessed it.... Kirsty is off sunning herself in deepest, darkest Africa, so ive been called into the breach to do her donkey work...... and fashionably late at that!!!

Last Monday, we had lots of fun getting our skates on and shaking our money makers (at the same time!) and rumour has it, one or two of our crew are getting rather good. If you wanna join us give Steve J a shout as this has become a regular Monday night event.

As our chairperson is busy recovering from her globetrotting exploits, it has been left to me to step imto the breach and fill you all in, with whats been happening in the glorious world of NAFOF. Not sure this is wise move, as I attended a grand total of 0 events last week, so I am having to rely on hearsay (not the band), rumour and occasionally even slander to get this little blog finished....
Last Monday some of us may, or may not have grown flippers and tails and swum many miles, just for the sheer joy of it. Apparently some of you are off tonight to Fleming Park for more of the same. Im sure you could join them if that floats your boat....
On Wednesday, a highly intelligent and knowledgable crowd (Im using a little artistic licence here!) trooped down to the London Hotel for more cerebral shannanigans in our monthly quiz night. Rumour has it they finished a highly impressive second. Big claps all round.

Marvellous, magical, meandering musings for a murky Monday Evening

Yep, you've guessed it - This is my last post before our chairman Kirsty returns from her nautical adventures, and Im gonna get some alliteration in here if it kills me (Or she does, for abusing my editorial superpowers!!).

What time do you call this? - Marvellous Tuesday!!

Morning Peeps,

Hope you all had a fabulous Monday and are on your way to having a toe-tapping Tuesday. Apologies for this late arrival, but my laptop decided to have a hissy fit yesterday and would not play ball. After much persuasion ie some loving words of encouragement and some vicious beatings it has now seen the error of its ways and is letting me write this 'Blog' to you.

Last Thursday we decided to support the Gurkha's war against that nasty Mr Brown, by quaffing lots of their delicious food. Mmmmmmmm were the words coming out of every bodies lips :( For all those who missed out, i'm sure we will be planning a return visit in the near future.
