I'm up for this and I'm sure that we could put together at least one Portobello Online team. Add your name if you are interested.

Im in defo. Is Derek quizmaster?

dccairns · Post by **dccairns** » 01 Feb 2005, 12:00

No, we have another quiz maestro. All will be revealed on the night - not literally. But he will have a few surprises up his sleeve for you, including one of your favourite pastimes. that's all I am prepared to say at this juncture.

Please say it's not karaoke......!

And just when I was thinking of putting my name down too

I couldn't possibly comment but I think you should throw caution to the wind for once. You and Porty have to be there as BRA's top brass.

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 02 Feb 2005, 23:40

Erm we dont seem to have a POL team yet. I was trying to lobby a dream team behind the scenes but everyone seems to be extending their valentine celebrations into the weekend.

Que pasa?

dccairns · Post by **dccairns** » 03 Feb 2005, 00:19

Just bring a team, any team. How about a street team? Or if you come alone or as part of a couple I am sure there will be folk you can team up with. Or are you planning to win?

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 03 Feb 2005, 11:02

If I can get a license to get out, I'll be on the POL team.

More importantly - what happened to British spelling?

Quote Porty>>Whay happened to care in the community?<<

Labour slashed the funding

Now then, now then, Mr M, may I draw your attention to number 1 in the posting guidelines...and also point out that even I make mistakes at times?

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 03 Feb 2005, 14:36

Hum....mine is clearly a typo.

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 03 Feb 2005, 18:42

You can count me in too, just don't expect any karaoke from me.

dccairns · Post by **dccairns** » 03 Feb 2005, 19:31

Good on ya girl. There will be other fun things for you to do. And the grand finale will be a duet from you and Porty. How does "I got you babe" grab you?

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 03 Feb 2005, 19:46

Hey, don't put her off just when she's agreed to do it!

You can drop the perhaps without fear of contradiction.

Are we still team recruiting? If so, I'm in. Do we have to make the effort to go for our individual tickets or will the Team Captain (Bob) be buying them in bulk?

Bob Jefferson · Post by **Bob Jefferson** » 06 Feb 2005, 16:54

Welcome to the team Epykat! Just pick up your own tickets. And I'm nominating you as captain. I'm not taking the responsibility for the debacle that it is likely to turn into

Oh no, I couldn't possibly! After all, you talk so much more sense than I do after a few dozen drinks

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 07 Feb 2005, 20:02

So who have we got so far?

Porty
Bob
Marya
Bellybabe
Epykat

Anyone else fancy it? Ali and ecm? You're music fans. Any other disco divas out there? Beachbabe?
BTW was through at a friend's in Glasgow at the weekend and at midnight out came their son's Playstation 2 complete with "Singstar" a karaoke game that rates your performance. Despite my assurances that I'm rubbish at singing I was forced to join in. "I Got You Babe" was on there and it earned me the lowest score anyone had ever recorded on the game

I'll be going along mainly for charitable reasons (that and a drink and a dance round my handbag

).

Exactly why we won't be there!!!

No, seriously, we have other plans for that evening otherwise I would have definitely been up for it.
Looking forward to hearing all about it. I'm sure it'll be a good laugh.

As you turn your thoughts to the weekend's entertainment, don't forget next Friday's Pop Quiz at the Freemasons Hall. Tickets on sale at Kitcheners and Portobello Stationers.

It will be a great night with a few suprprises and ample opportunity to make an a**e of oneself!

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 13 Feb 2005, 13:52

Flearoy is up for the team. That will seriously drop the average age and give us a chance on the modern stuff too!!

We have:

Marya
Bob
Bellybabe
Epykat
Flearoy
Porty

Be prepared - Mr Lizzie has organised a "Rugby Club" team so there'll be some stiff competition for the POL's

As long as you have not recruited Moira Stewart then bring it on.

Now which Moira Stewart are you on about Porty

I know of three at least

Ed · Post by Ed » 14 Feb 2005, 12:17

Is this Moira Stewart the newsreader you object to?

bellybabe · Post by **bellybabe** » 15 Feb 2005, 19:53

Got the tickets (yes, plural) today. Hard going into Kitcheners and coming out Ã‚Â£10 poorer with only two pieces of paper to show for it...

Especially hard for the three year old demanding cake, only to be told I had no pennies left.

Just need a babysitter now...

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 15 Feb 2005, 21:51

I got Flearoy and I's tickets tonight. However, be warned, there is a strict limit on the number of bods allowed in the venue, 120 I believe. There have been around 100 tickets confirmed as sold.

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 15 Feb 2005, 22:11

I've got mine and as Bob and Epykat got theirs at the same time, that's all our team accounted for

Mr Lizzie got 10 tickets today at Kitcheners and they only had 12 left - so if you've not got yours yet and want to go along on Friday,you'd better hurry up or you'll be disappointed
