Dear All,
The Greater Gillyland January Birthday Party, kindly hosted by Hodrodgirl went off a treat.
A few new faces appeared and everyone had a great evening with copious quantities of food and drink available, including an excellent Irish beer.
CalcTeacher appled her considerable mathematical ability to help improve my playing card reading skills.
I am now up to about a 80% success rate, once I can get to 99%, its off to Vegas to generate funds for the Gillyland Jimbo2012 Bail Fund, hopefully in sufficient quantity that even our Finance Director, A4-Skyhawk, can't waste it fast enough on Corona.
CalTeachers 'significant other' still looks a little bemused when the subject of Toilet Rolls is mentioned, little does he realise that if it were not for the level headed thinking of His Worship the Mayors, Administrative Departments Administrative Assistant's Assistant, then the Supermarkets around TV would have had a rush on Toilet Paper, that would have undoubtedly left some people caught short.
To cut a long story short, when we first met CalcTeacher and hubby, they had just arrived and were unloading 123 multiple packs of toilet paper (ok, i might be exagerating a little) and of course i immediately thought the worst and said to His Worship the Mayors Administrative Assistant's Assistant "do you think they know something we don't?, is there a shortage of Toilet Paper in Florida? - otherwise why bring 246 multiple packs of toilet paper (ok, i might be exagerating a little)?"
I then went on to say that we could always use the previous edition of the Daily Sun, cut up in to small squares, to which His Worship the Mayors Administrative Assistant's Assistant exclaimed that she wasn't going around with yesterdays headlines imprinted on her nether regions - to which I replied, that it wasn't a problem as no one could read it without a mirror, which just earned me a clip around the ear (English for a flat hand struck forcefully across the top of the head - doesn't really hurt, but it can make one jump a bit)
Anyway, to cut the long story even shorter, we did a quick recon around the local Supermarkets and can reassure everyone in Gillyland that there is no shortage of Toilet Rolls around TV even though CalcTeacher obviously thought there might be to bring 369 packs of multiple Toilet Rolls (ok, I am exagerating a bit)
