    I only opted for Snowman because I could use the snow to clean any of the camel poo that I might get on my outfit! And because JellyBean was going hippy , and as hippies used to often end up in the nip - I thought I worlds be fitting in with JB ( not the my figure would look hippie or twiggy- but definitely roundy like snowman).

    Now that Looksee is going Victorian Burlesque in her svelt corset, what outfit are you going to wear New Home? I think I might need to knit myself a lacy scarf to glam up a bit, cause the competition is getting hot, for best dressed oulwan and oulfella 💋

    That would be the six - or possibly four - degrees of separation then? 😀

    Pyjamas. Possibly fluffy ones, depending on the weather. Comfort is more important than glamour, to me. Plus, they go well with the rest of my "crazy cat lady" look I've cultivated for so long. Fluffy slippers, too, and maybe even a hot water bottle.

    Should we compile a playlist of Music for out festival? or will we splash out and hire a band?

    I propose we only have the "mahnah mahnah" song on loop, but then interspersing it with "happy birthday" (no longer subject to copyright) here and there. Nobody will expect it! We'd be sooo cool.

    In burlesque terms a sweeper-upper if referred to as a knicker-picker.


    Also, I'm pretty sure I have numerous photos of me in sequins and glitter. Be careful what you wish for as ye might just get it. ;)

    I would love to see the photo's of Old Goat! If they throw their knickers at you - I will duly pick them up and give them to you ?

    Our festival could be a "Show n Tell"?

    How do, OG! Stop peeping from behind that door and gerrin here! I nominate you for thrower-outer for throwing out troublemakers! 😊 For music we should have live music, with alive bands and also include those who are no longer 'live', viz., Roy Orbison, Elvis, Phil Lynnot might like to come, plus the full line-up of the Beatles. Plenty other alive ones too to chose from. If none of them will come, someone can bring a record-player or reel-to-reel tape recorder! Ooo I'm getting so excited about this now. 🤪

    Can we have Jim Reeves? I lurved Jim Reeves. I have a memory of sitting in a bit of remote North Yorkshire moorland with a bunch of friends - we were camping near my uncle's farm - listening to Radio Luxemburg and the dj announced he had been killed in an plane crash. Maybe we could get his spirit back and his lovely voice could entertain us.

    The Spirit of Jim Reeves, The half n half - dead or alive Beatles ( quite a concept album there ) Radio Luxemburg, record players and tapes - the festival is shaping up.

    Is it possible to do Burlesque to " put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone' ? - I think it is possible, actually very possible, but maybe doesn't accurately reflect the spirit of Jim. How about a Variety Festival like the " Royal Variety Performance " with Jim and Burlesque and Punk!. , or like the week of the Proms on BBC - Ringo and Paul could perform live alongside video footage of John George - we better ask Yoko to help co-ordinate this.

    I remember the old music they used to play on Radio Eireann early in the morning before the - opening time tune came on - Eileen O' there big fish in the Sea, Oh the days of the Kerry dancing, Down by the Sally Gardens, Nelson Eddie and Jenette Ms Donald . Does anyone remember Alway - I'll be loving you always, with a love that's true always - I think it was number one in 1926 when Number ones were sold not as records but as sheet music?

    Judy Garland 's - the Man that got away is timeless song. An old friend told me he saw Judy live in the Theatre Royal Dublin and at one point she sat on the stage and sang this song .. he said she was fantastic.

    Oh yeah, hope Judy could come too, plus my all time favourites, Dusty, and Streisand!! Wow what a line-up! There used to be so many female singers I loved, but I couldn't take to Lulu or Cilla at all. I could make the tea when the Heavy Metal starts, headbanging just gives me a headache.

    You should take it and be grateful, some of us don't even get as much as that.

    It seems Eventbrite is the way to go nowadays! How much are we charging in, or will entry be by bribe?

    I think 'open to bribery offers' might be a bit more subtle!😀
