Cheers Viking - may be a better idea going tonight, probably be a lot quieter for a 3yr old and he will love the Fairground Rides.

If you see a stunningly attractive pert bosomed brunette..........it won't be me!!

If you see an average looking brunette drinking Vodka & Bitter Lemon with a Bloke with a Southern accent and a 3yr old swearing in a Southern Accent come and say hello. :thumbsup:

If you see a 6ft tall love doctor pull up in a 4x4 and trying to set the clock to the correct time,(Like the forum clock) that wont be me either. THIS (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v689/viking99/forums/unitedite.jpg) is me. :hihi:

I can understand you feeling that way, But the photo was taken 40 years ago. Some say I have got better looking now but I think thats just flattery.

Well they say things are better with age!

scottf - weather permitting this could be the place for Sheffied Chapeltown Forumers to be tonight so if you think you see me come over and say hi too.

I will be wearing a manky looking Beige Corduroy Jacket with a bloke with short hair and a little boy - Viking will be the bloke sucking a Hot Dog! :thumbsup:

Groan - As long as there isn't a Michael Jackson impersonater there - we wouldn't want him to melt standing too close to the Bonfire!

I'm a classy bird Ive only got Asda!

I think you and scottf and me should have a secret signal so we know who eachother is.

I suggest that you Viking could perhaps do a Moonie but don't point at the Bonfire and let one off!!! :D

scottf will just be looking all loved up. ;)

If the fires lit at 7.30 - I don't suppose you know when the fireworks will get set off do you. Our little boy has a bit of a cold so don't want him out for hours waiting. :thumbsup:
