What a night!

Many thanks to Alan for the opportunity to gub the A? team after a superb meal. But what a great idea from Ronnie to celebrate in an ‘empty’ after the quiz. Don’t know where he got a key to Robert’s house but the location was ideal.
I’m sure the smell of vomit will have been nullified by the smoke by the time he returns. Just as well the fire was out by the time the fire brigade arrived and no real damage was done although he won’t be able to lose any curries in his oven for some time, at least until he gets a new one. Sad to say his sloe gin was actually quite good; he won’t notice that we drank it because Davie topped it back up with some concoction he found in Robert’s workroom. No chance of winning the competition now, but then again, the Ooters have drank worse. Jimmy managed to find some wine, not bad either. Did he remember to shut the freezer door? Does Jimmy ever forget?
I don’t think Robert will notice the improvements we made to some of his pictures, didn’t know you had it in you Alan – well it isn’t in you any more, it’s on his pictures.
Star of the night though was wee Davie. Didn’t he look good in Kate’s clothes? Ronnie was getting quite excited but a few buckets of cold water soon calmed him down. I trust that Davie will have managed to release himself by the time Robert comes home.
And who gave Derval Davie the mouthie? Robert’s floor in Mosset must have been much sturdier that that in Kilmarnock. Ian’s famed leg-stomping managed to damage the floor but a few subtle changes to the position of the furniture soon covered up the damage. He’ll never notice the crack in his TV screen either, Johnny did a good job with the cling film and it looked as good as new.
Paul’s parlour game gave us all a great laugh. Based on the current BBC Scotland comedy, ‘McGarry, *ank Commander’ was great fun. Well done to Johnny again for assembling a replica tank from bits of old furniture – well they are old now.
How time flew. We’ve all agreed to do this again next week.
P.S. I must remember to remove this before he returns from NZ – although remembering is not my forte at present.

Alan,
Are you sure you should have published this? Robert might read it in NZ.

Good point, but damage is done now anyway, in more ways than one.
Remember the motto.

Regarding the apres currie night party, did Ronnie manage to clean the currie stains off the curtains with the bottle of turpentine which he was drinking?

It was bleach, actually. Kate has now got nice new white curtains.
