ENGLANDSTOCK 69 - the Summer of Love, whatever the position....

Gusti gets into Breakfast Club to find that, incredibly, Yorkie has been and gone, and having found no-one there, doesn’t believe that the BC actually exists! Somebody should tell her it starts at 6...... Catherine is suffering, but gamely attends the morning’s routine meeting, and Gusti and Elb both have Bad Hair days...Elb goes off to the Real World.... Blu bounces into Breakfast Club, totally excited about seeing Bon Jovi later in the day and Sparkle and Catherine discuss the possibility of the weather changing by POTO time.... Miss Hyde is ill again, but the show must go on, and she has to perform, rather than watch football....Loubylou visits ENGLAND rather than tackling chores, and has trouble with animated smilies.....Catherine points Louby in Delanie’s direction for siggies, and Em is having One Of Those Days.... Jo is being patriotic because of the football, and Catherine doesn’t have a swimming pool, but has a quick WOOT for the meet-up instead. Jo feels the need to immerse her feet in a bucket, and decides NOT to clean her bathroom... Gusti has been industrious, but after enduring bad weather while the UK swelters, is not happy that the sun may have gone when she flies in.....Del sets up an ice cream stall for ENGLAND, and Catherine shows off her new Grey Gerry siggy, designed by Del, who suggests a barbeque... ENGLAND obviously has other plans, and everyone vanishes for the next three hours!

Catherine breaks the silence, shortly followed by an enthusiastic Miss Hyde, who despite having a lousy day, raves over the latest episode of Doctor Who..... (I feel some Tennant-spam coming on.....) Jo is in drifting-in-and-out-mood, and admires Catherine’s new siggy! Gracie appears pre-Chinese, and plans to veg out on her sofa post-Chinese....She and Goffy duly admire Catherine’s ‘grey’ siggy, and Goffy enquires what an ‘emo’ is.... Jo helpfully provides a Wikipedia link, and ENGLAND are educated as to the ‘emo’ music scene and culture, while Miss Hyde posts a pic of what the best-coiffed emos are wearing.... Elb finally arrives online, having been battling Tartfully against computer gremlins. She launches the first Tennant picspam of the evening, having just enjoyed the Timelord’s latest telly adventures. Catherine and Em also enjoyed the Saturday evening TennantFest, and Catherine posts a link to Brcain9’s Memory Book page, in which she asks for everyone to send a pressed flower and a lipstick kiss for Gerry, to be put into a book and given to Gerry’s mum at the Colorado Convention.... Elb cracks puerile jokes and gets sent to the Banana Lounge in the KT, while Em pimps the new paramedic in Casualty to Goffy.... Tina answers Elb’s plea for more Tennant spam, and she spontaneously combusts....... Miss Hyde can take more, but Eeyore plans on a vanishing act if the storm breaks.... Catherine is playing the Hokey-Cokey posting game (in - out, during ad breaks...) Tina digs out more Hunky Who-ness, which sends Elb into paroxysms of delight and her computer into overload...... ENGLAND get over excited. Catherine idly wonders if Casanova will get repeated... Elb vows to buy the DVD in case she can spot Tennant Totty-Botty. Em is tempted away by ice cream and Gary Sinise, Miss Hyde by Sim City, and the serious Who-Spam commences. Dousing Elb’s flaming lust, Tina once more comes up Tennant-trumps with a Casanova pic (with appropriate warning) which immediately causes uproar as he is wearing a FRILLY SHIRT! Catherine counteracts with a Phanty pic to demonstrate Gerry’s superior shirt-filling skills, the motion upheld by Euphemia, who is late arriving as her ear was glued to her phone for three hours. Elb excuses her deviation into Tottyness as brought on by lack of food...Eeyore is happy as she’s bought a new DVD recorder, and Tina and Elb depart to watch “Jack & Sarah” on telly.

Euphemia admits defeat after being thrown from the site yet again, and retires to bed. Gusti too has had problems, and describes her evening at a blues concert with friends. Eeyore says she is missing a few bits, and can’t do emotions, so it’s not just Elb having trouble with the site.... Jo and Eeyore start up their own club - After Hours! Jo has problems with Horlicks, sticks her fingers in her ears and goes grocery shopping with Gerry as the theme for her list..... Del drops in, having been to the opera, but departs quickly, and Eeyore wishes Sparkle a Happy Birthday!

Frustrated by continuing problems with accessability, Elb throws in the towel for the night, and hopes that the rest of ENGLAND has done the same.....
