Hi everybody

Checked out buffet at Harlequin and it's £5 per head, if anybody is coming to Xmas meet on 12 December could you let me know ASAP so that I can let landlady know, also fancy dress is optional with small prize donated by Den and me for best costume (Den and I won't enter even though we will be in fancy dress). I have also done pub quiz for this one and would like your advice on whether you'd prefer to pay 50p for quiz sheet winner takes all or whether you'd like me and Den to get trophy for winner:D:love:

The words would be on the screen MH! :hihi:makes no difference, she wont go to specsavers

I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me

And if we go some place to dance
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like, "I love you"

I can see it in your eyes,
That you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before

And though it's just a line to you
For me it's true
It never seemed so right before

I practice everyday
To find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come true

But then I think I'll wait
Until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you

The time is right
Your perfume fills my head
The stars get red
And oh, the night's so blue

And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like, "I love you"

But don't think I'll be getting up to sing, 1. there's no karaoke and 2. I'd clear the pub

see what i mean rich! she's got uncle denis to type the words on here for her, theres just no hope for owd aunty lin i'll tell ya!:roll:

Did she give any idea of what would be in the buffet? Did it sound as though there would be anything wheat free?
