Embarrassing Moment....

[gness]

...and not mine for a change!!!!

I went to a fairly glamorous birthday party last night....in the function room of a hotel.

It was really hot so I went to stand in the foyer for a few minutes to cool off and let my ears settle down.....(loud music.... :-()

While I was there five more guests arrived....in the most fantastic hired costumes.....a large cockerel....a witch.....Frankenstein's monster...you get the picture.....

I watched as they opened the door to the party of about a hundred guests....

"Oh ***"...said the cockerel, slamming the door shut again....."no one else is in fancy dress!"

"You told us it was fancy dress!" shrieked the witch.....

"I thought it would be.....being Halloween!"...muttered the cockerel......

"You thought!!!!" yelled the monster......." You feckin' thought!!!....you were certain when we hired these!!!....Now what will we do?"

"Brave it out?"...suggested the witch......

And they did!

Ever danced with a six foot cockerel?.....☺

[Peaspeculiars]

That's brilliant! Glad they got their smiles on and had a good boogie :-)

This has really put a smile on my face. I love the thought of a six foot cockerel.

[Buenchico]

Dancing with a cockerel? Did you pick up that idea in Paris?

Oh, Chris....that's hilarious....especially the nuns...but I assure you....

....at no time during the evening did our cockerel attach itself to anyone's dangly bits......to my knowledge......☺

[shoota]

I did that when I was a yoof.
Went all the way to Leeds on the train to hire a 'Laughing Cavalier' costume, turquoise velvet, pink suede thigh boots, co-ordinating pink sash and broad brimmed hat. Travelled into Huddersfield on the bus, walked through the town centre of that tough Yorkshire town (in costume) to Beast Market where 'Johnnies' night club was and I was the ONLY person in the whole packed club in fancy dress - and it was a fancy dress party.
I did laugh (in a cavalier fashion) when I won 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes by default.....

[gness]

Oh, Shoota!!!! How did I know that you would be in a Laughing Cavalier costume....but thank you!

You've made me giggle.....x

I've never danced with a six foot cockerel, Gness but I will confess to having danced with a few of Frankenstein's monster's brothers. Just the one dance though. Then a sharp exit.

University end of term disco. Dave has some success :)

Next morning they part company, swearing undying love (possibly), with Dave clutching address in deepest Wales and an invite to a New Years Eve party - with some expectation of renewed (redacted).

After Christmas at home - and no contact with young lady in question (no mobiles remember) - Dave sets off on New Years Eve in elderly car for a ghastly 6 hour drive in freezing weather - but kept warm by thoughts of (also redacted).

Arrive at address - met by friendly (but puzzled) father of young lady who says that party was cancelled - "not going to happen, never, not at all, no, over my dead body etc etc".

Neither Dave nor car had any chance of making return trip that day - so spent possibly the most excruciatingly embarrassing evening of life talking to young lady and family ... over a small sherry ...

I went home the next day ... we never, ever spoke again ...

Chris on that link did you see the bit about the Irish buttermilk carton at the bottom?

[seadogg]

Dangerous, fancy dress. Was wearing a wolf's head which slipped over my eyes, whereupon some "friends" whirled me round until I fell- into the waiting lap of a very large girl in a plum coloured dress. Her price was a series of dances in close hold.

[gness]

Oh, Dave...all that anticipation.....and to end up with a small sherry...... sorry......but I am laughing.......☺

I have visions of Seadogg dancing with Red Riding Hood.....☺


Corby.....that is horrible packaging......lord knows how it made the shelves....
