Forget Dulwichmum, I'm inviting Tony to Dinner

[Maurice]

Has anyone else noticed the rich resource that is our Tony in the suburbs? He's simply marvellous. No matter what the topic, what the matter at hand, he has personal experience with the issue. Further, he seems to live an ever so extraordinary life that requires he is constantly travelling across London and talking to dozens of diverse peoples on a daily basis.

Why not a single person here is able to make an observation or express an opinion that Tony hasn't 'just spoken to' someone this very week or 'been there the other day' or, even better, 'it happened to me x years ago'. It is simply incredible.

Such amazing life experience providing an arsenal of antedotes compels one to withdraw my invitation to Dulwichmum and extend it to Tony instead. How about it old chap? You could hold court in the dining room for hours.

Don't bite off more than you can chew Maurice...

How are you fixed for plates at the moment, Maurice?

I had thought of inviting Pro Southwark, but, given the personal email he sent, I doubt very much he would accept. But Tony's perfected the art of excellent dinner party storytelling. Of course I don't mean for you to read anything in to 'storytelling' other than his ability to tell a good story.

Daizie's good at dinner parties too - she'll bring a bargain bucket and some Lambrusco

Bear in mind TLS writes much of his points in CAPITOL LETTERS.....

So this is in effect SHOUTING, now I know you are of the "chesterfield and standard lamp" generation but really think about it........A dinner party with your lovely friends...(.hearing aids aside) being shouted at and no doubt jabby fingers and a little lip spittle thrown in !

Not nice Maurice, no!

W**F

Maurice you are a squeeze Old Bean.:))

I'm extremely sociable so deliberately speak to people on Buses/In Betting Shops/Shops, even on the Street sometimes.

Complete strangers and you know what? Once people have overcome their initial shock/suspicion they will engage you and youcan learn something from everyone.

There has not been one story on here thats not true but I only, currently, attend work either 9 or 12 Hours weekly so gives me ample time to get my "4-Zone=?6.30 Day-Pass" and Tour round "my" London Town....

I do believe I have seen you wandering around Camberwell Green speaking to strangers. Do you carry a green bottle wrapped in brown paper? Old fishing hat atop your head?

Marvellous. We have met before!

You are confusing me with "Old Archie" only it was an old McDonalds hat...have I ever regaled you with a little vignette about the time "Archie" abused me and a friend down The Walworth Road Mo?.....Anyway we were walking down the road, not a care in the World when..............

I think you should appreciate the service Woof has done you. Think about it, you invite your guests round for a candle lit supper and for some after dinner speaking you invite Tony/Onslow round to do the honours. The conversation will flow at a polite pace with no signs of socialism until one of your more monied guests takes exception to Tony's opinion of plebbs being entitled to free housing on behalf of the state. Naturally Tony will reposte with tales of his opinions being well recieved at the Princes trust charity ball whereby many staunch Tories were brought to tears whilst he recounts his mate Anthony's strife at getting on the housing list.

Obviously you'd be compelled to side with your influential friends to save your seat at the Rotary club but beware of Tony's skill at confusing others with upside down logic never ending queue of mates up and down the country waiting by their phone eager to back him up. After about 6-12 hours of restless debate you'll find your guests have lost their grip on sanity, retired to the drawing room, found your old Lugar and shot themselves through the head.....or just left in tears.

By Monday you'll be jobless, with no friends and on the housing list without a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of.

Rotary club? Not terribly likely.

[bigbadwolf]

I suppose you could just invite Orville the Duck, at least he's got some credible back up.
