FW: A Charitable Occasion, Meeting No 684, 5 Feb 2008

 

It was back to normal last Tuesday in our normal home (and quite right too) in the High School Library. These notes are a back to normal for me too.  Courtesy of Grammarian Erika it was a charitable evening. After being welcomed by Michelle, Toastmaster Tim[R] took over with his normal racy style.  Ellie inspired us despite wanting whatever would be to be would be [I'm using past sense], good on yer Ellie, but will they? Things never stay the same.  Norma [first time Educator] provoked discussion from her educational on roles, to be continued by popular demand.  Patricia tested us with a box of "things" - Pam had a good lay, and talked of not so golden days in oz.  Dave had the hippy hippy shakes, and showed himself as an old scarfie [Dave "old" is a relative phrase and means different things to different people]. Neil wanted to tinkle presumably in public. Gerry's Arthur Crown [yer know what I mean like]  brought nostalgic memories of Lords and proper cricket. [No one spotted his deliberate mistake - Colin Cowdrey was a Kent player and not Surrey] Ellie's beads took her down memory lane. Whatever Deb held in her hand somehow conjured up sci fi feelings and alien talk. Timbo's suspenders had us in suspense, but he really meant garters.

Deb then had a right royal rant at the Immigration Service and rightly so.  Doug toasted the wrong Hobson, I thought everyone knew that Trev was Bill's brother, Doug you should read your history books.  We had a first time Table Topic evaluator - Ray the first of many evaluations.

To err is human, and I can't remember who took over Sue's role as  Timer, but he/she certainly challenged us by using percentages for over's and unders, I didn't bring my calculator so I can't comment on either the accuracy or the actual times.

See you all next week.  Regards to all, Gerry
