Halloween Fancy Dress Night 2007.

Saturday, 27th October, 2007, and it's Halloween Party Night in the Black Skull Bat Cave. The usual suspects mingled with Royalty and celebrities of the following status:- Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Henry the 8th, Marilyn Monroe, Ozzy Osbourne, Amy Winehouse, Cap'n Jack Sparrow and Gene Simmons of American rockers Kiss. This years' event could have been held on Noah's Ark as there were 2 pirates, 2 Snow White's, 2 Romans, 2 boy soldiers, 2 Cleopatra's, 2 grass skirted spear chuckers and a couple of ghouls and scary monsters (Aldo and Menzies). There was a womble who isn't a womble (?), an english crusader knight, scooby doo, a big furry mouse, a pimp, a belly dancer, a charleston girl, cruella de ville, biggles, a forensic scientist, a clown, a pregnant nun and a rather large teuchter (Pronounced chook- tar..meaning someone who resides north of milngavie and east of baillieston). I apologise to those whom I may have failed to omit as my memory is not what it used to be as my brain is now pickled in vodka.

The large teuchter goes by the name of Matt, and he was presented with a twenty year service medal for...well, twenty years service ( DOH! ). The presentation was made by the biggest, fattest penguin that you have ever seen, but I am unable to name him as I have no intention of spending christmas and new year in traction, being nourished with food that has been put through a blender and with a bed pan at my arse. No Sirree. Fortune favours the brave, you say. OK then. It was Andy.( I'll be in ward 12 of the Royal Alexandra Hospital and visiting is from 7.30 - 8.30. No flowers, please).

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...Robin (of Batman fame) was first up for a song, and I can only help but think that he must have got the wrong size of shorts in his outfit. Someone should have phoned a doctor 'cos this guy was in distress, or at least, it sounded like it!! The pregnant nun gave us a rendition of Madonna's "Like a Virgin". Ironic or what? Biggles took the mic for "Baggy Trousers" which was quite appropriate judging by the winners and losers (rhyming slang) that he was wearing. Her Maj..QE sang a couple of songs too, and, bloody hell, that old gal can sing.

Halloween wouldn't be Halloween without "dooking for apples", so, out came the basin of water with the forbidden fruit and a few nutters had a bash at retrieving the shiny red things from the H 2 0. Aldo comes from Easterhouse and he says that they are so tough over there that they dook for chips (That'll explain his coupon, then).

To summarise..It was a great evening in a jam packed hall, where everyone let their hair down(with the exception of Arthur) by dressing up in silly costumes and then tucking into a tasty buffet which was washed down with copious amounts of alcohol. Anyone who went home without a smile on their face must have had a sense of humour by - pass operation performed by Dr Harold Shipman or worse..Dr Tam Nannett.

Our thanks to everyone who attended..we hope you all had a good time and we look forward to welcoming you to our humble abode on 1st January, 2008
