ABRIDGED IS BACK.......ENGLAND HITS A CENTURY!

.............BritTarts celebrate their 100th thread by talking up a storm!

The beginning of thread 100 seems a suitable place to start Abridging once more, and Elb takes the bull by the horns and posts up the 100th thread title. Her opening post thanks Gerry for inspiring ENGLAND to reach the dizzy heights, and Goffy seconds the emotion. Everyone reminisces about when they joined, and Goffy remembers that it was Elb who told her she had come to the wrong place if she wanted a serious discussion on the Butler! Jo was a relative late-comer, joining around 60, and shy Yorkie reveals that her joining anniversary is next month, although she had lurked for some months beforehand..... Marsha only posted as a visitor to ENGLAND 74 posts ago, but stayed, and Goffy posts up her original tongue-in-cheek welcome from Elb all those moons ago! Eeyore was welcomed by Catherine, and Elb was cheeky as per usual, enquiring after Rabbit’s Friends and Relations!

ENGLAND falls quiet and all is peaceful until earlybird Elb creeps back into the thread at 5.30 am before work. She warns that the pre-95 threads are about to be deleted, so if anyone wants to keep anything from the old ones, do it now......... This freaks Kelli out when she drops in to congratulate ENGLAND on their Century, but Catherine explains that it is a voluntary thing, and that the KT is safe... Lady Claire Mark 1 also adds her congratulations and her thanks for a warm welcome, and Evangelia seconds the motion. Em gets historical, and Miss Hyde gives her own potted history on the threads while Jo’s past is murky........ Del announces she is now connectionless, as she is moving this weekend and threatens to stay in touch via text. Em, Evangelia and Jo are Laydeez wot Lunch, and Evangelia feels out of the loop, which serves her right for going on holiday! Em and Evangelia talk Greek, and she tells of B&G being withdrawn from Greek cinemas.... Jo thinks the film is cursed....... Catherine joins in with the Greek Tourist Board, and reassures Miss Hyde that our post counts won’t be affected by the impending demise of ENGLAND’s earlier threads.....Goffy can only remember swear words in Greek, and Em refuses to post pics of her new hair colour as she is without warpaint, while Evangelia, Catherine and Goffy sing “It’s a Small World”..... Em wants to be rid of her accent, Goffy takes her frutration out on Rapidshare, and Lady Claire Mark 2 remembers back to her first time on ENGLAND, all of one thread ago!

Nimhue drops in with conga rats from Poland, and Elb announces that her witterings re Glasgow have reached the terminus, so she’s off out to see POTC2.......... The team talk football, scratch their bums and belch.... Okay - so they just talk football. Gusti makes a welcome reappearance, no longer looking like a pirate, but still rationing her online time, as her eye is hurting and she has just started her new job. Catherine feels sick again, but admits to having a large portion, and everyone is glad to ‘see’ Gusti! Euphemia is on the Instant Migraine diet of red wine and chocolate, and thinks ENGLAND deserve a medal for selflessly nattering for Queen and country, while Gusti thanks ENGLAND for their concern. The WOOTs are dusted off for Goffy’s 4000th post, and the hugs come out for Euphemia, who’s having a bad time.... Goffy offers ‘Hunt the Nessie’ as consolation, while Catherine makes a Churchillian speech before retiring to a darkened room to smoke a cigar.... Sparkle WOOTs for a century, and Cathy celebrates having a G dream by sitting in a puddle.... Goffy too dreams of Gerry, but wakes up before he can demonstrate on her how he copes with love scenes..... Gusti gets new rhythm and goes to bed early, while Sparkle WOOTs for Goffy’s 4k, and her own 600 last night, and tells of cracking storms which threatened to sink Milton Keynes. Cathy asks Gerry to make his 3am coincide with her 4am, while Goffy gets the hots for some Gerry-bashing.... Tina stops by to marvel at how her baby has grown - she started the first ENGLAND thread, and now it’s 100! Eeyore has a strangely romantic day and gets winked at, chatted up and proposed to, Catherine compiles fanvids, and Cathy gets ideas.... Late arrival Yorkie asks too many questions, fmakes herself comfy in the Gutler and calls Goffy a gasbag. (How to win friends and influence people?) Amnesiac Eeyore forgets to WOOT, and Cathy posts picspam in the hope of generating another Ger-dream..... Catherine, in danger of a red card, goes to bed with a warm and fuzzy feeling, while Elb posts her potted review of POTC2.... This provokes drooling for Depp and Dirty Davenport and Em remarks that “even covered in poo, he’s still do-able”..... Elb says much the same, but decides to red-card herself, while Jo causes a stir over on her friend’s forum by deleting Gerry! Yorkie returns to discover everyone has gone to bed, and talks to herself as she puts the cat out, and tidies up in ENGLAND before heading off to bed herself........ Jo, still lurking, wishes ENGLAND good night...... and good morning, as she won’t be in to Breakfast Club, and ENGLAND is finally asnore.....................
