The evening started with pre-dinner drinks and nibbles and the hardest “soft” cheese known to man. Brian’s excuse was that there was no “use by” date on the packet, and it couldn’t have been sitting in his fridge for any more than 18 months.
No amount of cheap red wine could wash it down!
Later on the aroma of exotic far eastern spices and condiments (sweet and sour sauce and MSG) filled the room as we dined on a feast of Asian delights.
Once again the cheap red wine came in handy. But before long it was down to the serious business at hand, fun and laughter.
The pencils were sharp and the brains, well, not so, as the four groups of contestants battled it out on the blank paper.
Some weird, wonderful, but mostly unrecognisable figures appeared before our eyes as contestants tried their hand at drawing things that for the most part we couldn’t even pronounce.
We weren’t exactly playing for sheep stations, but there was a lot of whispering, hiding of drawings, none too discreet peeking over the shoulder and general skulduggery going on. Referee Karen had her work cut out for her trying to keep law and order as the night slowly degenerated into mirth and mayhem.
Thanks to all who attended and made the night one of the funniest on record.
And thanks to Caroline for organising the event and opening up her home to us.
