ENGLAND 77 - The Year of Jubilee and Punk!

The new thread, subtitled: BritTarts do Anarchy! (Well....nearly!) was started late last night by Elb, but as almost everyone had gone to bed, the thread is still sparkly-new for the Breakfast Club, opened this morning by a suspiciously bright and breezy Catherine, while Elb is groggy and grumpy from lack of sleep! Euphemia too is having touble tryping, and Catherine decides to get a wheely case for Glasgow, as her knuckles are dragging on the ground; Euphemia serenades her from the “Jungle Book”.... The Breakfast crew decide on World Domination for the day, although Euphemia had planned to wash her hair...... Jo whips in and out on her day off, and Elb reluctantly heads off to work in the hope of another cuddle from a fragrant engineer.... Jo’s colleague intends blowing up the world (inflatable!) while Catherine claims there’s nowt like a bit of crumpet when you can’t get your hands on any buns! Blu is under international attack from undomesticated French-Canadians and will be moving out over the weekend....

Catherine points out DebiDM’s post announcing Glasgow 2007 tickets will go on sale next Wednesday... Eeyore joins in with World Domination Day, and Del prepares to leave for Skye, while poorly sick Els is home alone with a migraine... Sparkle starts small with WDD, and has nearly converted her friend (who recognises him from “Mrs Brown”!) to Gerriness. Jo is reminded that the film is being shown at her local cinema soon, and eagerly awaits THAT scene with Big Ger on the BIG screen!....... Catherine makes her choice to go to bed with Phanty, and reminds Jo that there is no slo-mo in the cinema. Jo ponders bribing the cinematographer... Em joins the Laydeez Wot Lunch, and is also a fully paid-up member of the Migraine Club, like Eeyore and Els. After lunch, ENGLAND is visited by AussiePamJam who reminisces about 1977 when “Saturday Night Fever” was hot stuff - literally! Sparkle becomes the first casualty of World Domination Day and wants a big strong Scot to kiss it better...... Jo acts as deputy, and Goffy arrives after dominating the battlefields of Tescos. She fears she won’t get tickets for Glasgow... Jo’s keyboard No. 2 meets the same liquid fate as No. 1, and Euphemia has been on safari searching for backpacking ants...... Els is feeling better and has designed her Bandy Groupie T-shirt, while Jo advises Euphemia on World of Ant Domination......Berenise loves the T-shirt, sympathises with Jo’s soggy keyboard and hates manky little ants. The Migraine Club now has more members than Breakfast Club, with the addition of the Twins, who are doubly poorly! Em and Goffy start a thread asking for London pics to make into a video souvenir....

Barking mad Elb musters the troops at teatime to admonish them on lack of progress in World Domination, and she has failed to get another hug from engineers, fragrant or otherwise. Catastrophic Catherine’s London mishaps are all resolved, and Jo’s children are incontinent with mirth after watching “The Simpsons” in which Homer impersonates Phantom... Eeyore is MIA with server problems, ENGLAND progresses from farting and belching to bum-scratching, and Em eats properly again after revealing herself as the Tesco Bean Hoarder.... and it’s back to flatulence again.... ENGLAND is repeating itself.

Everyone is tired after the Big Weekend, and ENGLAND blows itself out,. You can hear a pin drop in the thread.... until the Perv Twins try and liven things up by providing nibbles/nipples and Snow and Jo bring handcuffs. Blu seeks excitement, but finds none, and the rest of ENGLAND are very subdued, seemingly all Tarted Out........ By the time that Yorkie arrives, ENGLAND is virtually deserted..... Only she and Em remain, and so they start a Sound of Music singalong........ joined quickly by Jo and then Goffy. As Goffy doesn’t know the song, she graciously retires, to leave the Team Von Trapp working their way through their Favourite Things..... which include packages, (brown paper or otherwise) wet black swimshorts tied up with string, and custard......

Elb tiptoes away, disappointed that the World is still not under Tart Power.........
