England's 48 crash: It's like a lightning flash!..

Catherine starts Breakfast Club this morning at the arse-end of Thread 47, and has to set up a new thread before we even get coffee under way. We are joined once again by Kelli from the KT, who has decided to enlist as an Honorary Brit, and this morning's natter turns to the loss of Gerry's face-fungus. Vital stuff, our discussions. Delanie and Goffy pop in briefly later in the morning, but then ENGLAND falls uncharacteristically silent until Elb arrives back from work. Elb announces that she will be incommunicado this evening as she has to attend an event in the Real World. Meanwhile, Catherine holds court, and is joined by Sparkle, Cathy and Em (who has finished rehearsals) and Cathy muses longingly about Scotland. This trio soon disperses and Goffy, Marsha and Tina take their place to keep the home fires burning. Tina has had a bad day, and Goffy very thoughtfully provides comforting pics, carefully chosen for the pic-ees.

ENGLAND welcomes yet another Tart from the States - Bonnie Donna Jean - or BDJ as she becomes. She picks up on the BC's early comments on Gerry's fuzz/no-fuzz, and begins a discussion of GB's looks. *NB: have to point out here that the ONLY thread where discussion of bodyparts is allowed, is the Kissing Thread, so technically, we are breaking GB.net rules by discussions such as these in the ENGLAND thread*

Laura bounces in later, disgruntled that her OMK DVD has gone AWOL, but bursting to tell everyone that she is pregnant! Congratulations to Laura and hubby! Eeyore arrives and a lively discussion of baby names ensues, with Gerard being an obvious choice, but Marek?......! Even after Laura departs for bed, the name game goes on, with people listing their favourite children's names, until Elb rolls in, drunk as a skunk! Realisation dawns that she has misbehaved with an 18 year-old apprentice at the works' party and will no doubt pay the consequences tomorrow....

...And so to bed....
