Thanks Viv,

We are coming to see my folks a few miles down the road, so while we are over I thought it would be nice to meet up with the Birmingham SW crowd and anyone else who wants to join in.

Would be great to see you if you can make it.

Ade

So are you and Ade getting married then - a little odd, but congratulations <g>? Glad you all had a great night out. WE WANT PICTURES! (and no pics of people with bags over their heads, please <g>).

Ok Linda and what does Ades wife have to say about the two of you getting married
You do realise if you carry on like this you will give Shelled Warriors a bad name
Do you all wear name badges with SW on them so people know where you are from

Hi

Well.... I think I will call myself the official photographer... ! (well thats the reason I'm not on many photo's!)

So... all sing along..... i'm getting married in the morning, ding dong the bells are gonna chime.....!!!!

I'll start off with the beginning of the night right through to this morning (Saturday 11am)

Myself and Steve walked into the Norfolk Hotel to meet Ade and Esther.... not knowing what they both really looked like we were expecting 'semi normal people'... however we walked into the reception area and was greeted by Brian May!!!!!! well actually Ade wearing the biggest baddest black wig you have ever seen in your life..... he wanted to share Linda's love for wigs!




After everyone had met.... we ventured over to the Garden House - just over the road. Poor Esther had to walk slowly due to a bad foot and Ade.... well he has groin strain!!!!!

After ordering the drinks and finding a suitbale table we all started to enjoy the evening.... Linda walked around the bar showing off her dog...which was wrapped up in her white cardigan to keep it warm.... at one point a man drinking in the bar asked Linda if it was her child in her arms... if you could of seen it - you would have serious doubts about who the father was!!!! Certainly not Paul!




Linda settled down (eventually) but got rather hot.... undid a few buttons which revealed her rather hairy chest!!!! At this point the people on the next table left rather quickly!



Steve wanted to join Linda and showed it by getting undressed too... !



The drinks flowed... Ade & Steve decided that infact they looked like long lost brothers and shared common love for shaved heads! 8) Although you wouldn't know it by Ade's wig



The girls drank....and drank....and drank.... 8) 8) Viv, Louise, myself & Linda were learning about Esther's job as a masseur..... no... not the kind you get on the Hagley Road here in Birmingham that give extra services but the kind where she gives sports massages etc.. to footballers....

Ade.... shame Esther is too busy to help with that groin strain of yours!!!



I asked an older gentleman to take a photo of all of us... I swear he was messing it up so he could perv over my cleavage....he took about 10 attempts and this is the final result....



Towards the end of the drinking in the bar I went to the ladies with Linda (only to make sure she found her way back because last time she got very lost and ended up making friends with a man in the garden!!!) and came back only to find that there were 2 she-men sitting in close proximiity.... they really could have done a lot more with their makeup!

At this point... last orders had already been called... everyone had still got beers/vodka/guiness etc...but managed to drink them quickly... apart from Linda... who had 2 pints and a short left. So.... she drank as much as she could... and then had a drink confiscated! The shame of it!!!

We all decided it was time for something to eat.... so being in Birmingham.... Balti City called.

We went to a curry house.... it was closed....

We walked to another one... in the meantime... met Anita Dobson and Brian May enroute... Brian playing air guitar for us!




We had a good meal - about 50 popadoms were consumed, lots of rice, curry, steak, chips, chicken and two lots of ice cream....

Of course.. it would not have been a true Balti Shelled Warriors night out unless Linda had declared undying love for another waiter.... here is the proof it happened again!



It was at this point in the evening where Linda announced to everyone in the curry house that she was getting married in the morning.... and asked someone on another table (who just happened to be a hairdressed (much needed with that wig!)) to be her bridesmaid! Of course the other lady accepted and will no doubt be looking for Linda at the registra office at some point this afternoon!

Linda told us a few stories of past and present.....Steve didnt get to hear them at the table as he was upstairs in the toilets... however he came back down and said he had heard every word due to the volume of all of us laughing and giggling at Linda's cheeky stories!

The evening ended loudly.... everyone saying goodbye and arranging to meet again today (Saturday & Sunday). Lidna's wig was half on...half off...



At this point it was about 2:30am... !

This morning.... I woke up, sat eating my yoghurt when I get a frantic call from Ade in the Norfolk Hotel..... "have you got my car keys???" Ade has lost his keys. Is miles away from home... not got a spare set!

Steve goes to look in the back of the car... just in case.

I receive another phone call.... "dont worry! I've found them! They were in Esther's bag - put them there to be safe!"

So.... a great 2nd Midlands Night Out.

Bring on the next

I think the only thing I can say is ... oh dear Ade must be a bad influence on you lot even though you did have an interesting time the other night
