ENGLAND’S 59th - Nearing pensionable age..

Elb beats Gusti to it this morning, and gets the coffee going for Breakfast Club. Kelli drops in briefly, to Catherine and Elb’s delight, but can’t stay long as she’s off to bed after nursing a sick child. Elb girds her loins and trundles off to work, while Blu flashes in to announce she is going to see Robbie Williams - that’s the complete set of Take That collected now..... Euphemia, Gracie and Laura are next in for breakfast, Laura still on a high after speaking to *sigh* Gary Barlow! Daft grumbles about the ridiculous hour that BC starts, and Berenise pops in with a message from Lady Wolfshead to say her PC is sick, hence the lack of contact. Miss Hyde has now finished college, so is now free to indulge in Booshness to her heart’s content, and won’t be in ENGLAND tonight as she is catering at a party. Sophie pops over from Oz to congratulate Blu on the Robbie tickets, and Euphemia bemoans the fact that she has to make a cyberman mask for her son! Gusti returns to say that she is going to Slovenia for a girly weekend, and posts some beautiful photos of the scenery there.

Later, Tina manages to get online on hubby’s ‘emergency’ computer, and Catherine joins Em and Goffy online while she can still string a sentence together - it is her 12th anniversary today, and she intends to have a jar or two later! Congratulations are given. Goffy is making another Over 18 vid and is taking requests - ENGLAND awaits the premiere....
Elb returns from work and ENGLAND sits down for a Doctor Who-fest.
It seems like everyone is off to the Real World tonight; Gusti, Sparkle and Berenise all sign out to spend the evening with friends. It’s also Eurovision tonight, but the Princes’ Trust concert may win out! At the mention of Eurovision, Blu resurfaces and declares her allegiance to the show, while Elb rather rudely poo-poos it.

Then a strange silence falls over ENGLAND for an hour or more.... *Insert sound of water dripping, crickets chirping and distant sirens....*

The silence is broken by Yorkie complaining about the extortionate price of Robbie Williams tickets, which brings a tipsy Catherine and Elb out of lurking. Yorkie gives the heads-up to a GB film review site, which mentions an interview with Gerry in which he uses the fook word to describe PONR, but cannot find said interview on GB.net. She issues a challenge to find it and Goffy picks up the gauntlet. Elb and Catherine shoot back to the KT for the rest of their Anatomy Class with the studly Dr. Butler, and Yorkie disappears to perform her wifely duties in the Real World! Em comes in to find ENGLAND deserted once more, except for Goffy who is frantically rummaging though the annals of GB history to find the interview. Gusti pops back in after her evening out with friends, but realising that it is midnight, heads off to bed. A “half drunk stranger” wanders in, AKA Els, who declares that her faith in humanity has been restored because Finland’s Death Metal band won Eurovision with a VERRA strange entry! And finally, Laura peeks in during the wee small hours, pondering the fact that both men she fancies have the initials GB.

ENGLAND gives up and goes to bed.....
