Do people still wear speedos? Outside of the Olympics or other serious swimming contests.

Woke up with the sun streaming through the bedroom windows about 7ish turned over just for that extra 5 mins and here I am 4 hours later.

Jesus Mick - trying to keep me breakfast down :haha:

[IamMary]

Afternoon.. Survived the wedding... Was nice, music way too loud so drinkers or not, we all moaned. Late home and up early, bit ratty today.. A reminder of how things used to be most days in the week.
Losing my marbles, keep forgetting and misplacing things.

Thank you Mick for that mental image! Go hálainn!

What ya reading Molls??

[JackieClaire]

Evening,
Was talking about last week's wedding with Mr JC and would you believe one of her bridesmaid's took a huff........over something daft, got changed and fecked off to a night club in the near by town. We were just talking about what a blooming long day it is for the whole of the bridal party (and the grooms) by the time the afters crowd arrive the all day guests are mostly hammered, feet are hurting and they're very, very tired.

And horror of horrors they played the Birdie Song :sad:

[Mick]

Jacs ..one of the hotels we stayed at in Sicily..there was wedding reception..there was a certain song I heard 3 times..kinda strange..the song Gloria Gaynor..I will survive!!

[IamMary]

Ha! 'I will survive' 'the birdie song'!

There's always a degree of tension at a wedding.. Or before. I remember at a hen night, the bride and chief bridesmaid had a massive (drunken) fight and never spoke again. Yours truly was 'asked' to fill in and wear a rotten ill fitting frumpy old fashioned meringue frock.. No wonder they had a falling out.
They're divorced now.
