Drac he may look better in those heels
Please don't forget to remind me of that drag queen story after we've had a couple of drinks...
Well, there's nothing worse than a dry wedding, eh? :wink1:
Hmmmm.... probably best get used to it, mate! (and dropping the font size down to 1 isn't gonna help; she can read your thoughts... :lol: )

No there isn't...I DJ'd a dry wedding once..I believe it only lasted 3 hrs..There was a champagne fountain and each table got 2 crafes of wine with dinner, but once that ran out so did the guests..
Hey Mr. Rebelo!
Hong Kong Fooey would be a decent fellow to bunk with...plus his name is also Joe so you won't be forgetting each other's names.
As far as the folks from Mass, I'll be there, GM Cunningham will be there, I may be bringing a Bedell or two with me as well...but that is up to Sheldon and Charlie.
I gotta tell you this one... it will give you entirely the wrong impression of me, I'm afraid :uhyeah:... but I'm sure you won't judge me too harshly...
About 15 years ago, my one of my wife's coworkers announced she was getting married. She was a nice kid, and we all thought, isn't that nice?! and promised to come to her wedding. Turns out her fiance belonged to some teetotal chapel, and it was going to be a wedding drier than the Gobi desert in high summer. What to do?
Sudden inspiration: a pal of mine had a hip flask. I don't remember how I knew this, but I knew it. So off to his place a few days beforehand, borrow the flask, and fill it with yummy bourbon. Then came the Saturday, hop into the car, and off we sped to the place in southwestern OH, right near the Kentucky border, where his church was holding the wedding.
How am I gonna drink this stuff, though? (One never thinks through the details of this sort of thing...) Inspiration!: go get a can of Coke (nice dark color, concealing the mead within), take it innocently with me into the men's room along with the styrofoam cups (?!?!) that were supplied, mix Coke and Elixer, and emerge with an innocent cup of cola... not.
Daphne of course was in on the plan, but I was worried that I was going blow my cover... imagining people whispering to each other, what's wrong with that guy's bladder? He's going to the can every 20 minutes or so. I needn't have worried... there were a whole bunch of guys who seemed to be having bladder problems besides me, and I noticed that four or five of them always had a can of soda in their hand and a cup when they went into the men's room. Necessity, truly, is the mother of invention!! (And solutions often converge...
)In the end, it was a fine wedding. At least, I imagine it was. I lost track a bit towards the end....
I stand in judgement of no man or woman..I can do you one better..I performed at another dry wedding for a female officer from my department..I told her that part of my contract includes a 12 pack of barley pop, she agreed..When the guys from my department saw me imbibing they begged a few cans and there went my 12 pack..2 of these officer lived nearby and ran home an wipped out there liquor and beer supply..I don't think there was a sober cop in the house..
Good thing there wasn't a major emergency and calls from dispatchers to get your butts downtown... wouldn't do to have a bunch of patrol cars weaving all over the highway like that nutter in California, that DUI woman who got hauled over after a low-speed chase in which, at one point, a patrol car knocked her car around in a perfect circle and then she took off again... I was watching it on live TV. One of the strangest things I've ever seen in my life...
Thankfully all in attendance were off duty..As we sat in the parking lot many hours after the reception ended STILL DRINKING I was wondering what we would tell the locals if they happended upon us..All intoxicated and ALL carrying...
...
??
Whoa, I wouldn't have liked to have been in that position... maybe you could have told them you had been there as part of a wake for an officer's relative and that your apparent lack of professional composure was because you were all so overcome with grief??
No?
I don't think that excuse would have worked as we were in the reception hall's parking lot..And what funeral would hire a DJ????
Well, if it had been an Irish-type wake... music, celebration and the odd drop?
:sigh: No, I didn't really think so either. Well, be glad you got lucky!
All involved were real glad we were not detected..
Well, we had the MMA show on Saturday, it was a good show in the end but it was hell! Fighters kept dropping out injured taking their ticket sales with them so in the end I had to put money in instead of getting out what I had put in before. This means, sadly and to my huge disappointment I can't come now to meet you all this time!
I'm cursing dishonourable fighters who lied saying they were injured only to turn up on another fight night on Sunday. The fighters who came ( we had 12 bouts in the end all good) were brilliant and the smaller crowd than we anticipated had a good time. We also paid all the bills, in fact we had £20 (40$) left over lol!
I'm exhausted as I've been doing my 'day' job as well so apologies to everyone I should have emailed and haven't yet, I will, I promise. I will get back to posting too, in a day or two!
But I will be thinking of you all very wistfully next month, it was so close! Next time for sure!

Tez, we know you'll be with us in spirit. Remember you have a place to stay and a place on the mat anytime you want to come across the pond!
