alt='Jem' title='Jem' align=right width=60 hspace=10 vspace=10'/>New Years Eve - Ealing Style!

Instead of hitting the delightful nightspots of Kings Lynn for New Years Eve, I headed to the bright lights of the south – well Ealing via St Albans actually, for a fancy dress house party. The theme for the fancy dress was dead rock stars, which may sound easy (and definitely if you’re a bloke) but how many dead female rock stars can you name? For me it was none! So rock stars merged into anyone to do with music! I nicked my brothers drumsticks and opted for Karen Carpenter!

Other stars at the party included Bob Marley Jam Master J from RUN DMC, Freddie Mercury, Lisa ‘left eye’ Lopez and Dusty Springfield.
What on earth did Karen Carpenter wear I wondered, despite the repeated suggestions of just wearing a skeleton suit (you’d be surprised at how many people suggested this) I went for the ‘Lead Sister’ top she wore when touring in Germany. I didn’t think going as a skeleton would be very funny, especially considering how serious anorexia is.

Once the party got in full swing out came Sing Star…oh dear…my singing isn’t the best normally, let alone after a few glasses of wine! Nevertheless I gave it a good go! I do have to say I was quiet disappointed that there were no Carpenters tracks – I’d spent ages practising, after fearing we’d each have to sing in character! The boys beat the girls at The Killers, and LOG and I did an awesome version of Kings of Leon ‘Bucket’. At around 10pm we let off the first of the fireworks, we thought we’d better incase we got too drunk later or forgot! We all ‘Ooood’ and ‘Ahhhd’ in the right places, the kids from next door even joined in! I was happy as it meant that I’d seen fireworks in 2008 – after missing them at the company display!

Once the first round was done it was back inside for cocktails and more singing…I believe for some reason most if not all the cocktails had Triple Sec in...I have no idea why.

Midnight came round and we did the hugging, kissing, Auld Lang Syne -ing and of course the obligatory texting to everyone you know who has a mobile! I appeared to still be doing this at 2am…I have no idea…

Outside again for the remainder of the fireworks, a house a few doors down also had some so we were Oooing and Ahhing at theirs too! But this time, for some unknown reason LOG was sporting a long blonde wig. It was rather amusing to see Kurt Cobain and Jam Master J lighting fireworks and then running away with their blonde hair!
After the fireworks were finished we all went back inside and carried on with the cocktails until around 4am!

Everyone had a brilliant night and 2008 definitely ended on a high with 2009 starting with a bang, not to mention a few sore heads in the morning…well ok, afternoon!

Happy New Year!

alt='Jem' title='Jem' align=right width=60 hspace=10 vspace=10'/>Fireworks

Each November the company holds a fireworks display and bonfire. This year the job to organise the event was given to me. I love organising things (from the 'Kuda fun bus' to the department's Christmas Party), so I jumped at the chance!

Previous years I've only been a spectator, and so it was brilliant to see what is actually involved in organising such a large event. Months of preparation for a few hours entertainment!

All of my worrying that I'd forget something or things wouldn't go to plan was for nothing, as the day dawned everything was arranged (double checked and triple checked!) and ready for everyone to arrive. And arrive they did! I've never seen so many cars in the car park - it was crazy!

The fireworks were as amazing as usual and luckily it was a clear night for us, so that we could actually see them!

The guy compeitition was judged and the guys burned, and the raffle drawn. With everyone happy with their prizes - apart from one of the lad on quotes who won a Bratz 'Girlz Really Rock' Doll! He looked rather bemused to say the least!

All in all I think the night was a success with everyone enjoying themselves and 'oooing' and 'ahhing' at the fireworks - well I haven't heard anyone complaining about anything!!

Unfortunately, I didn't get chance to take any pictures, but there's always next year!
