ENGLAND 49 - "This way to the Boulevard of Butler Dreams!"

SATURDAY 29TH APRIL 2006

The usual crew surface for Breakfast Club, and after Elb leaves with trepidation (who's he?) for a long stint at work, Sparkle arrives with the news that her brother is okay after his trip to A&E, but that she has seen a reference to Gerry on the Ceefax pages by someone called Jen, saying he's the "Greatest actor!" She emails the Beeb to point the Tart in our direction......

The afternoon shift begins with Blu dishing out scones, and she's joined by a virtual horde of scavengers: Catherine, Gusti, Goffy, Taffy and Tina. Tarts prepare for a late night dose of Gerry in "Dracula 2000" to be shown on terrestrial TV!

Elb finally crawls in knackered after a hard day at the shop, and promptly falls into a bottle of wine, and sits in front of the computer with a face-pack on..... A chat about movies follows, as Gusti has had a film-fest and has watched "Dirty Dancing 1 & 2", as well as "The Day After Tomorrow". Most of ENGLAND then desert Gusti to go and drool over David Tennant in "Doctor Who", and some whip over to the Kissing Thread, where Peigi McCann is holding the second of her virtual Anatomy and Physiology Classes, aided and abetted by "Dr Butler" who selflessly displays parts of his anatomy so Peigi can teach us all the Latin names.... The third class is scheduled for next Saturday......

Els shows up, still in fairly low-key mood understandably, but reports that her injured foot is improving. We are ambushed by piccies of semi-nekkid Scotsmen. But not THAT Scotsman. Els finally tells us what happened when she Went To Play For The Queen (Post No 115) and how she hurt her foot, and all becomes clear. Em also appears, having finished the show at last, but confesses to having sent a drunken text to a Certain Person, but may have sent it to the WRONG person. We await developments...

Elb - by now cheerfully plastered, sings along to POTO, which must be bad, as everyone decides to go to bed!



So there is no-one about when YORKIE posts a message from sunny Las Vegas, where she has been dining in style, flying over the Grand Canyon (thought she hated flying?) and generally having a wonderful time! We miss you Yorks!
