Title: An ambition realised
Post by: Highlander on May 12, 2013, 21:14:00 PM
A realised an ambition this weekend which I have harboured for about eight years.

No clues yet but does anyone fancy have a guess what it was.

That's a very interesting suggestion badger because I've lost count of the times I've been told to take a running jump.

But no that's not it  :)

toky – I have been to a small production in Eden Court but it was sometime ago.

diverbaz 1 – I wish :o

gordonA – only a renowned Calis Beach pole dancer such as yourself would have thought of that answer  ;)

sokak91 – that’s this weekend coming  :)

john H – may I refer the honourable gentleman to the previous answer to diverbaz 1  :o.

slikmrs – that’s not an image many on here will want to dwell on for long  :-[. And it’s a no I’m afraid

I bet you can't wait  ;)

If this involves a tooth and something swollen please don't! i am still puzzled over this comment last year.

Just came back on at 7:30 and the server was down. Was this due to the drain on the system of us all waiting in anticipation.  ;)

Sorry folks I had to finish off some work.

Firstly, thanks for your the suggestions all of which were very entertaining.

The ambition realised is not exactly a life changing one but is one that I have looked forward to for sometime.

At the weekend Brenda and I had the greatest pleasure in finally meeting crabbit and his good lady Pearl.

We spent a thoroughly splendid evening with them in the fair city of Perth in the company of scunner and the lovely Steph.

This event had been planned some three years ago with hotels etc. being booked but unfortunately Brenda fell ill and we could not travel.

So finally meeting crabbit was indeed an ambition realised.

Thanks for a great weekend guys.

I will leave scunner to decide if he wants to reveal the link to the "taxi for highlander" thread

It was a pleasure meeting the Famous Highlander and his long suffering Wife Brenda at last , I have only one thing to add "055"

By amazing coincidence, 0055 is the international dialling code for the country we most associate Highlander's jewel purchases with :D

It was a fabulous night - not least because of the company but also an amazing restaurant. We had Highlander banging his head on the table several times, doubled up with laughter from the great Crabbit and Scunner show.

Sadly we were later upstaged by the Steph and Pearl double act :D

Title: Re: An ambition realised

And very welcome you would have been too toky.

We should say that crabbit and pearl had no idea that Brenda and I were going to be there.

It was one of those occasions when nothing was really planned, one that you hoped would go well and for some reason just "took off" and turned into one that you will always remember with great fondness  ;D.

PS there were indeed times during the evening when I was banging me head on the table.

Your luck is about to run out people. I have been unable to post a photograph but I have emailed it to scunner in the hope that he will post it for me.

It seems cruel to me that when I try to hold my belly in I get a double chin. I can have one or the other but never neither.

Photo is wonky, silly waitress!

In common with the present Mrs H, crabbit claimed not to be photogenic. The difference of course is that Brenda is far more attractive than this photograph suggests whereas crabbit isn’t.

To be serious for a moment, crabbit does look very different from any photograph I have seen of him.

Please can I steal this line?  It made me 'laugh out loud' and will really amuse my friends - and of course,  I will pretend it's all my own work.

He does however look very fit - for a man of his years that is.
