the 10,000 mark

this seems to have passed without comment ... i am sure i remember a bit of a hoo har about 5,000 ... what's happened???

by my reckoning the 10,000th piece posted (not counting all those that have been on and off like ... something that goes on and off a lot) ... is nick calvert's poem about love in the afternoon ...

*Locates computer with internet connection and orders some more food from Leapingsalmon.com* (oops, was that a gratuitous plug for one of our advertisers) Doorbell rings and DJ arrives with decks and a vast selection of records. Any requests?

*Opens fridge (sorry Fish - didn't mean to interrupt!) and pulls 2 bottles of frozen Absolut and a bottle of frozen tequila from freezer compartment. Who's for shots?* (will need to be *way* more drunk to get my holiday snaps out...)

By frozen Absolut, I mean bunged in the freezer until it goes thicker and way more potent - you're right, it doesn't freeze. But it is *dangerous* (in a fun way) when it's 'frozen'....

I like plums straight from the fridge. See Willian Carlos Williams, he got the desire from me. However, I don't like `my` plums cold.

Honestly, I start with M&S canapes then get some good nostalgic party food but you're *still* not happy. OK Andrea, here's a plate of sushi along with some Beluga and sour cream filled baked new potatoes, crostini, filo-wrapped prawns, lobster mousse wrapped in smoked salmon and mozarello and pesto stuffed cherry tomatoes. Is that OK? Oh, and another crate of champagne...

Emily, have you got any frozen schnapps? Me and the fridge called smegma are on first name terms, doing really well and have both had too much vodka. I've got some towels. I'll see if Andrea has got any more soap. Groovy party

Kind of got distracted by so many other things going on. Emily being on holiday didn't help. Ho Hum. Glad you notched up the 10,000th Ivory - we'll make a fuss tomorrow on the Front Page or maybe the next day or whatever. Almost at 5,000 registered members too so watch out for that one. Get all the friends and family to register! Pip pip, Tony
