Not Invited

[Haggis]

Hello folks, just back from a wedding dance! Scottish style, bit of disco, bit of celeidh which I love, what's your preference??

[MarkRae]

[Haggis]

Sorry, not invited is the title cos' I did not know bride or groom, She was a friend of my wifes pal?@#+

[Haggis]

Afraid no Mark, at the start a few young lads played tho on accordion and keyboard, pretty good

[Mamyalynne]

A sword dance but before the drink starts flowing.Hope you had a good time.

[Haggis]

It was ok, lights were a bit bright though!

[Haggis]

common complaint at celeidhs

[Buenchico]

An explanation of your heading ('Not Invited') would be interesting, Haggis!
(Were you gatecrashing again? Tut!)

Your reference to ceilidhs reminds me of the staff/parent barn dances I helped to arrange when I was teaching. Great fun and I even got to dance with Miss England (even if it was only dosey does rather than 'close contact' dancing!)

[Buenchico]

I really mist learn to type faster!
(Please ignore my redundant request for an explanation of your title!)

[MarkRae]

Glad to hear about the accordion players.

But, no Jimmy, no cèilidh...

[MarkRae]

Respect for spelling 'cèilidh' properly, Chris. Obviously, no Scottish person would ever misspell that... ;-)

[Haggis]

Have to say, I quite enjoy hearing young fellas giving it lalldy on the bass and accordion!

[Mamyalynne]

I just enjoy young fellas, bring em on.

[Buenchico]

. . . but I could have used the Irish spelling ('céilí'), Mark ;-)

[Haggis]

Chris, love to know, Miss England??

[MarkRae]

Could you? Was the OP at a do in Ireland, then...?

[Mamyalynne]

Behave you two .

[Haggis]

Slander!!

[Buenchico]

Well, it could have been a 'Scottish style' dance in Dublin, Mark ;-)

[MarkRae]

Libel, actually - look it up...

Haggis:
When I was teaching, the reigning 'Miss England' was a friend of (or, possibly, a family member of) the parents of one of our pupils. They invited her to join them at one of out staff/parent barn dances and I was invited to dance with her.

She was tall, elegant, totally inarticulate and clearly 'totally out of her depth' ;-)
