England 48 - Friday 28th April 2006

Up and at 'em as usual, are Catherine and Elb for Breakfast Club, although Elb regrets her dedication to the threads... Being Super-Woo-man is not all it's cracked up to be.... Her sanity gives further cause for concern when she starts talking to a giant white rabbit called Harvey. Both Catherine and Elb nag at Gusti to find out what her blood tests revealed, and Catherine is excited because her Mum is coming to stay for a few days - another potential GB convert! Del and Kelli are latecomers to BC, so miss the general chit-chat, and ENGLAND is quiet again until afternoon when Em arrives to announce that the show in which she is appearing is going well, apart from a slight set malfunction which called for some serious ad-libbing!

There is discussion of voting for the Daily Record Style Icon Awards for which Gerry has been nominated, and most of ENGLAND appear to have voted - in Berenise's case, several times! She resolves to hide the phone bill from hubby..... and says that she is going to meet up with fellow BritTart Debbie Goddard over the Bank Holiday weekend. Gusti still hasn't made it to the doctors as said doctor is away, so we all go back to nail-biting and hoping she is okay. Em rushes back out to perform once more, and Catherine describes how she has been playing judges..... (Don't ask....)

Sparkle has to take her brother off to casualty, and is excused duties for the evening, Goffy performs acrobatics until realising that her Perv Twin has gone again, but disturbs Gusti who has decided to crank the music up and is dancing round the thread thinking she is alone.... Cathy (feeling poorly) and Tina arrive after a chat about films, then Elb returns from slave labour and begins pic-spamming just because. A virtual jukebox is put on, and ENGLAND have a cyberdance around their handbags and into the new thread. Inspired by the title of one of the songs played on the jukebox, Tina starts up ENGLAND 49 - "This way to the Boulevard of Butler Dreams!"

Drinks are served, and Tina supplies a link to a Naked Butler site, which she promptly removes again, just in case! It is NOT GB, but proper butlers....... like wot serve drinks in the all-together. Nice. "Cocktail sausage with your aperitif madam?" Elb returns to the fray with green dinner, and disgusts everyone with tales of drooling through spinach....

Talk turns to DVDs and Goffy and Elb advise Cathy how to hack her DVD player so it can play multi-region discs. You learn something new every day on GB.net... Eeyore frets because her new job pays in arrears, thus leaving her short for a couple of weeks, and ENGLAND winds down early as everyone is worn out with the cyberdancing..... Elb invites Gerry rather hopefully to join the earlybirds in the morning for Breakfast Club........
