Bandstand Bash

The Eastcliff Residents Association are holding a bit of a do tomorrow afternoon at our brand new, super-duper, out-of-this-world bandstand. Let's hope the weather holds out for it.

Turps and terpsichory are promised, although dancing will presumably be limited to tripping only the very lightest of fantastics, given the state of our crumbling cliff.

I may mince along to that. Sounds like fun.
No need to worry about your crumbling cliff as far as I'm concerned, as I'm walking very gingerly at the moment. My hot date, last night, turned out to be very enthusiastic indeed!
So then, shall I wear a pink carnation so you can say "Hello Justin, you good lookin' S.O.B, can I get you a drink?"?

Richard Eastcliff said...

I suppose a couple of Camparis would be appropriate. What time are you thinking of tooling along?

This is as good as it gets in Ramsgate

Tony, was it you who paid the BBC to puff Margate on their teeny-tiny local news programme this evening?

I was in your neck of the woods on Monday night. I was one of only three people in the pub, in the much-vaunted and fast-diminishing 'creative' quarter. Still, that's probably enough of a crowd for TDC to put out a press release trumpeting how well their strategy is working!

Justin Brown said...

Well I'm not sure what time this Mardi Gras is taking place, sister.
This Eastcliff Richard's Association wouldn't have anything to do with you, would it?
Also, are there any decent pubs on the Eastcliff? Seems to me that they're all over the other side of town!

Willow craft - now there's an idea! A wicker fence would make a nice change from the HERAS variety, and it is environmentally friendly. See you there gang!

Justin Brown said...

Maybe I'll pop along for 6, so I can get The Mayor's address. I've always wondered where he lives.
Then we can get on with celebrating the 'Cajun, I suppose.

Richard Eastcliff said...

Sounds great! Be there or be square. Or dry, maybe.

Justin Brown said...

Seems to me that most people wanted to stay dry!
A good half of the people there got into the spirit of things, though, and came in fancy dress as St. John's first-aiders.

The Cajun music was great. I'm listening to their CD as I write!

Richard Eastcliff said...

The cajun music was a bit of a hoot, although there seemed to be a majority in favour of five a side football.

Didn't see anyone wearing a pink carnation, though. Did you go in disguise Justin?
