ah I remember 'Dinner for one', it's played at new years every year in germany! ....Hmm very amusing how did you get a copy of it? No one i know has ever heard of it over her and germans think it's great, everyone was surprised that I didn't know it! ....it's so funny sitting watching this real old english comedy skit in germany, I wish I could come tonight as would like to see it! have fun everyone who goes!!

Re: Chocolate Fondue and Dress up!!

Hey it sounds like some people are making preparations for the weekend already so tomorrow night may involve a bit of a dress up by way of rehearsal!

Also a good chance for people to bring along any old dresses/tuxes or other girly/man stuff they don't want anymore (or at least don't care if they get er, dirty) - and we can do some swaps :) I think Annabel's after a top hat!

Should be plenty of stuff leftover from bushball, for those who retained their garments...

Mite bring a short movie: "Dinner for one". Ca. 15min. Although in English (and recorded 40ish years ago in Great Britain) very popular in Germany. And damn funny.

Plot: Butler James is serving the opulent dinner for an old lady who is celebrating her 90th birthday. The four guests she used to invite died years ago. However, she continues with her habit to celebrate her birthday in the traditional way toasting to every guest, one after another. The butler, on the other hand, is gentleman enough to play this game and is toasting back, imitating every former guest. "The same procedure as every year, James." - Of cause he has to drink a lot... 4 times port with the soup, white wine with the fish, and so on. - As one can imagine, he is getting notably tipsy within the course of the meal... Possibly the right stuff for a drinking-/ tramping club feast.

since we are on the topic of movies, vaguely anyway... i'm going to throw my two cents worth in and suggest scarfies. i did have to explain to jess what a scarfie was the other day and i think her education on new zealand 'culture' needs to be continued.

but you know once i have turned into a marshmellow with a very full puku, i can't imagine i will care too much. marshmellows probably want to watch ghostbusters anyway i would think.

Argh hell yes Thursday is a Capital O for awesome day to hold it, and please let it be either a monty python dvd or the big Lebowski, failing that Shaun of the dead (same people who made Hot fuzz) as I need to see a decent comedy. No no no double brown guys the tussock monster is just far too classy for that shite I think Mulled wine is what he will be ordering and boy what a brew we'll have for that.

Oh yum yum yum I'm already salivating at the thought of it, drools.

Chocolate Fondue on Thursday!!

Hey all,

I'm sure you've all being hanging out for this so how bout our place (the coolest flat in Brooklyn) this Thursday around 8? Note the two days warning Andrea and Olly, so plenty of time to drop all other commitments and run in a chocolate crazed beeline to our house! :)

So bring some chocolate, something to dip (fruit, marshmallows) and anything else you mite need - double brown, mulled wine, Feuerzangenbowle!

We might also watch a cool movie - Touching the Void was mentioned, or maybe Olly could bring a Monty Python (meaning of life or flying circus episode?)

Anyway it will be cool, so see you thursday!

Hi guys,

I love the idea, esp. chocolate, chilli, and gluhwien/spicymould wine!! how about in the Hutt on friday the 8th June?? It could be a bit dressy too with fun stuff all around?? Perhaps Timmy and flat wouldn't mind their place as venue?? Timmy would also have another reason for celebrating and I'll have all my study over so that'll be cool!

cheers,
