Thanks so much, gang!

I've printed the thread off and I'll let her go through it.

The weather forecast is giving showers, and so indoor ones like music box might come in handy. One slight problem with that is that I am not a good enough musician to cope with it. Her sister is a competent pianist, but out of practice. Ruth sight reads a little better than her sister, and anyway is well in practice as she has been challenged to play some of the "Pirates O.T.C." film score on the day. Unfortunately she is also intending to be completely trollied. (Brain/hand connection, she get severed!) Might prove interesting.

Geoff the Duck came up with a good one last night, if you can get them to trust each other. You set up a chair ("plank") and a double line of people facing each other interweave their arms like the teeth of a zipper. The victim then has to "walk" the plank by falling off the chair onto the outstretched arms, and "surfing" their way to the end of the line. Any moshers that come (and there's a chance of a few) should have no problem!

I'm not going to formally structure the bash. There are modelling balloons and face paints for them to do obscene thins with. Geoff also suggested shaving balloons. Ruth isn't overkeen as she says the shaving foam will get pasted onto everyone. We'll see.

Once again, thanks, you lot. I knew I could count on you.
