The party in Glasgow on April 12th has a chocolate theme :D :yum: but :confused: ! And Bill BTC can't be there :what: :tears:

I'm not sure what to expect and don't know what to wear ...

Will Franck just teach the boys how to dance with a bag of Malteasers and feed them to the girls every time he would normally do a return or what ??? Do we all have to fight for Stevie Wong's silver paper trousers ???

...I'm not sure what to expect and don't know what to wear ... Well, Wendy, the first thing to expect will be chocolate... there will be lots of chocolate for everyone.

As for what to wear, it is not a fancy dress night, but it would be nice if the colour chocolate was present in some way... So everyone wear chocolate .

Ceroc Jock will have to dig out all his 'Hot Chocolate ' hits and I am sure that by the end of the night, we will all be melting :D

Unfortunately, I cannot do anything about the 'Better Than Chocolate ' aspect of the night, though I am sure some of the men will oblige :wink:

The party will start at 8.00pm with a Chocolate theme class just before 9.00pm and we can dance the night away until 1.00am in the fabulous Henry Wood Hall...

Over and above that, Emma (internationally acclaimed artist and honored member of this Forum) will be there with a selection of prints relating to dance (and maybe chocolate :wink: ) so you can see / purchase them on the night!

*warning* - bad jokes ahead

I'm sure Bill not being there won't Mars the event and he's Bounty turn up some other time. Mind you if you'd grabbed him by the Curly-wurlies before going on holiday you might have got him to change his mind.

Anyway, they'll be a Galaxy of other dancers there and everybody will Revels in the occasion. I'm sure there will be a Twirl or two in which the girls will show their Snickers, causing a Wispa amongst the galleries.

I don't know.

Franck, are you the devil? Tempting all your young lads and lasses with chocolate like you are.

Just remember people, a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips!!

(Yes, this is all because I'm just jealous, cos I can't come).

Nobody should worry about the chocolate, with all the dancing we will all be doing, we should end the night happy and in credit! :D

I don't buy the 'Can't come' thing either... where there's a will, there's a (Milky) Way :wink: Get yourself a plane ticket, and join the fun...

You are just an Amazin (Raisin Bar - does anyone remember that one ????) guy !!! - or a Fruit and Nut case ! Can't make up my mind !!!

I really wanted to dress up as a CCM .... but think it would be too hard to dance in.

Well, I could become a travelling MINSTREL and work my way up there. If I made enough money, I could take a TAXI (anyone remember the chocolate wafer biscuits?). I mean, it's not like I have to go as far as the moon, or even MARS, is it?

8th-April-2003, 01:40 AM
Personally I thought some of the suggestions were a bit FLAKEy, but I guess we're all in the same CLUB after all.

And of course there's even a Ceroc move called the PENGUIN, so what's the bets on it being one of Franck's "chocolate" class moves?

CJ
8th-April-2003, 01:47 AM
Well, I'm looking forward to this particular Feast... bear in mind though, with the extra hour, it won't be a Picnic, it might feel like a bit of a Marathon.

If I get a Dime, for every shania track I don't play, maybe some Texan blues... that should have them Lion, BAR NONE, in wait to dance.

Still, Cerocers are a Nutty lot, (might not count as it was toffee and peanuts!!) but the tunes will be right up quality street!!:sorry

Hiya everyone,

just managed to scrape enough 'chocolate' brownie points together and I'm being allowed off 'baby duty' this weekend and I'm coming to Glasgow for both the party and the workshop. Really looking forward to it. Haven't been at a Glasgow party for a couple of years now, apart from the anniversary bash.

Franck has just phoned me and I'm afraid to say that he is going to let me loose on you guys and I will be doing the class. Never done a Glasgow class before, I hope you will be kind to me! :wink:

Can't wait to see you all and put a few faces to some names. Wondering who I can borrow for a demo. Any ideas!

Lotsa love Lorna x-x

Hi again,

ooh, I get to go shopping this afternoon, 'boost!!' to try to find something chocolate coloured to wear. Mmm, may be difficult as it's not really in season. Nevermind, great excuse to spend the afternoon trying on clothes. :nice:

Please post your ideas for a demo. I have used the gorgeous Brady before, don't mind using and abusing him again if he's up for it but would also like to know if there are other possibilities.

Lotsa love Lorna x-x

Just a little FYI, too many accountants have revealed themseves around here recently so you're unlikely to get a BORROW.

You might be wise to set up a con-call with Franck and a steering committee to decide what kind of material margin he needs to make on the night and then break the whole thing down by cost centre, ensuring an appropriate overhead allocation method for shared services, remember that NI has just gone up and see what's left in the sales and marketing budget for a demo.

You might only be able to afford Graham.:wink: His manager will be able to tell you if he's free.

But seriously, one vote for something with a slow sexy dip.:devil:

Will try to accomodate this, but will need to think up a yummy chocolately name for it. Got a whole 2 days of fun ahead of me. Need to get loads of chocolate to eat too, just for the inspiration you understand.

I did, and typical, I got it in the first shop I looked. :reallymad

Nothing exciting, (and no where near as cool as Wendy's idea - go girl!!). I found it really hard to get a chocolate brown top. It's a bit of a drab colour really. :sad:

Nevermind, I'll wear it with a huge smile.
:grin:

See you all on Saturday,

Lotsa love Lorna x-x

And no wonder you were smiling Lorna - doing that ripple move with Brady behind you :wink: (funny that you needed to go over it so many times before the class got the hang of it:D :yum: ).

Was a great night - music was brill CJ (well apart from one record - but I'm not naming names to protect the innocent :innocent: I'm pretty sure it had been a request :what: )

Loved the chocolates on the table Franck - especially the ones in the little boxes :drool:

Looking forward to the next Glasgow party - it's a great venue. :waycool:

Heather

CJ, you excelled yourself, the music was brill, what was the track Sheena didn't like?- Not VEM VET, surely!!!:sick: :wink:

The chocs in the little boxes were totally orgasmic!!! I'll be running out to Tesco at the earliest opportunity to buy a box all to myself.:yum:
As for the Chicklet - the Mad crew had you sussed out straight away- no hiding place for you now dear, we KNOW who you are!!

Like Sheena, I can't wait for the next Glasgow party !!

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening, including a new experience or 6 :innocent: I'm ready to go further than BTC to Better Thana Ma Mammas Lasagne - it doesn't quite roll of the tongue so well but he knows who he is.:wink:


Lovely to see all the lovely D MAds and Emma and Lorna and meet Franck and great venue etc etc etc....next time maybe we'll have to roll that beautiful big piano out of the corner after the lights come up and give it a couple of verses of Volare????

Echoing everyone else's posts, I had a fantastic time and a lot of incredible dances on Saturday...

I would like to compliment everyone on their chocolate outfits... they were all so tasty :yum: :devil: :waycool:

I had a great night too, but was surprised not to see old BTC himself, since he and Fran had both indicated they were going to go. Surely it couldn't be that he'd heard you were getting some really nice chocolate, Franck, and bottled out in case he couldn't measure up to his title after all?? :devil:

Still, at least it was easier for me to get a dance with all the lovely ladies :grin: .

Wendy

Thank you! Hope it's worth waiting for. :nice:

Had a lovely night on Saturday, great meal, great company, great demo (Brady - thank you) and fab dances. I think I danced with nearly every male and female there. Sorry if I missed anyone. I was so exhausted that I actually felt sick in the car on the way home.
:sick: (always a sign that I've had a good night).

Great to finally meet and chat to Emma, Chicklet, Wendy, Graham, Jayne - gosh everyone!!!!

Would also like to say that I really enjoyed the workshop on the Sunday. Franck really is the master of workshops. Doesn't matter how long you have been dancing - you always learn something new. :wink:

Sorry it's taken a while for me to post but had to take baby to emergency doctor on Sunday after workshop so stayed an extra night in sunny Hamilton.

See you all soon,

Lotsa love Lorna x-x

Oh, and Chicklet, I had a chocolate head on me this afternoon and I went to find the little chocolate chicks you gave me but they've gone. Someone half-inched them, can you believe it?
