I love my friend Anna.
I call her Crazy Lady 2. (apparently I'm crazy lady 1)
Last night we had a brilliant evening round her & her hubby's home -- they were married last August and we've not been round to their place since they've decorated and got all their new furniture!
They were talking about their honeymoon and we were saying how lucky they were to avoid the food poisoning from their wedding reception (21 people were ill with it) and they were saying that most people presented with symptoms in the morning they were scheduled to fly out... so they would have ended up being "bog-bound".... (for my lovely american friends, bog is another word for the toilet, so bog-bound would mean not being able to get off the toilet for being so ill)...
After a while we finally decided what to order for dinner -- Domino's Pizza!
Yummmmmmmy.
Anna was reading off the menu asking if we wanted starters -- wanting to know our opinions on potato wedges, chicken strips, and chicken wings.... we picked the strips and wedges.... then she wanted to know if we wanted chocolate mousse for dessert... we did... so the order went something like this....
"Hiya -- we'd like to place an order for delivery please... yes, we'd like Strippers, Dippers, 2 large Texas BBQs and 4 Hanky Pankies"...
at which point I collapsed in laughter. Strippers were the name for the chicken strips, and Dippers for the potato wedges.... hilarious!
The other great quote of the evening... she was talking about the problems they've been having trying to put up some curtain rods in the bedroom... they'd originally put up some curtain material with some masking tape as a temporary measure.... and she said... "the scariest sound we've ever heard in the bedroom...." and I died laughing because she was pulling some major cheeky monkey faces at the time.
The other funny things about the evening was going through their honeymoon photos -- they'd been to Madeira and went to "Nun's Valley" and had their photos taken as nuns (standing behind a lifesize nun body cutout with their heads through the holes)... Paul made a scary-good looking nun!!!!!
