Just taking a break from committing musical mayhem with my untuned uke to grab a green guinness and also try to snare one of those pesky sleep fairies.
Can’t beat a good uke …we had them at our wedding party!! Do you know “Livin on a prayer”? Fantastic on the uke!
Hi Annie
Happy to take requests and murder any tune you like! (Impressed that you had ukes at your wedding though sounds fantastic).
Thought i would post 1st comment on thread from SCACO to show newbies & remind old woodies how it all started 
Right then. Here we go.
Am facing the dark, dark woods. It’s been a really difficult walk to get here but now it’s here and on Monday 20th December 2010 i am entering it.
I am armed: Determination? Check. Positive attitude? Check. Hair cut short in preparation? Check. Bras thrown away? Check. Humour? Check. Breadcrumbs as a trail to get out? Nope. There is only forward, never back.
My poor old lymphs have been hanging on grimly but now need back up. All that’s left in the armoury is the nuclear pile (6 of them), so back up is on the way.
So there is no choice but take my first tentative step into the woods. Torch is being tightly gripped and compass is firmly attached.
If you are standing looking at those woods and need to step in - take heart - you aren’t alone! I’m in there somewhere!!
Thought I’d change my profile pic - he’s better at singing than I am!
Haven’t got him trained to go to the bar yet though.
Don’t look outside - NE has got over-excited.
Shhh don’t mention Living on a Prayer, Twisted Nipple need no encouragement and not sure Bon Jovi will be recognisable. Like the sound of it on the uke tho.
Good to see the JM rocking tonight and that, as ever, the sleep fairies are around for those who need them. Mind you ear plugs may also be required this evening xx
Ooo girls, rushed off my feet behind the bar here… Twisted Nipple is about to launch into thier version of JUMP - MG be careful on the tables in those F.M* shoes of yours please!
If there’re woodies out there that need a quiet corner, it’s over there where the large leather sofas are… I’ll bring over some hot chocolate and flapjacks in a mo…
*MG may be reluctant to explain this - you may have to scroll back and dig it out yourselves 
HistoryGirl - The Re-entrants!!! 2 bald men with ukes! Would invite them round but NE & PB get very jealous!!
Oh go on then, a swift one then I’m off to dance on the podium!
I’m not reluctant, they will have to fill in the missing letter themselves. If I could explain the shoes were in a sale, I can’t walk in them, only prop up bars but they lightened my mood when I wore them to an event towards the end of my rads. Made me feel less horrible.
When I moaned about my inability to walk in them, it was pointed out that shoes like that were intended “more to lie down in” as it were or F Me shoes. Not sure dancing on the tables in them is a great idea tho xx
Annie
Just googled the re-entrants and they look fantastic. Had a small jazz band at my wedding last year and they played ‘Neighbours’ as I walked up the aisle (I married my next door neighbour). Now I’ve got a few green guinnesses under my belt I shall serenade you all with my own uke version of Neighbours. Come back everyone, why are you running away?
Ha, apart from Mary Grace, she’ll never be able to run in shoes like those!
Heehee FM shoes …I should be so lucky …not with my canckles!!
HistoryGirl - it’s reassuring to know its not just me who gets married and ends up with BC shortly after! Mind you it’s a good party tonight!
Annie, cankles are fine with F me shoes, as they, like the shoes, are improved by lying down or better still raising them above head height xx
ROFL!
Love it Mary Grace … I’ll have to tell the OH …well it is for my health!! lol xx
Purely medicinally you understand. Ah well think I’m off to my tent if I can get there without falling over all the empties. Night everyone xx

(that’s me turning the lights off in the JM bar)
lots of sleeping people on the sofas in the bar and lots of snoring from the tents.
Just like old times.
Sleep well woodies

Hey I wax snoozing in the corner now I can’t find the door …
how are the hang-overs? (she whispers…) all sticky bottoms got wiped up and put away…
Steps over bodies…
WAKEY WAKEY!!! Sun’s shining… time to play!
What a night! Good to party together once more. I was the one sitting on the sofa, supping cocoa and smiling in a vague faraway kind of a way… lots of happy woodland memories
Just nipped over to Benchland and borrowed CromerCrab’s broom to sweep up in here… what a LOT of empties… I will tiptoe to the recycling bin in case anyone is sleeping off the afer effects
Just checked everyone was out, locked the door and put the key under the stone over here ----->
After all we don’t want NE and PB drinking the stock do we…?!
