Part 1 - TARTING UP...
The Ipswich Massif, Kirk, Matt and Ste piled into "Matt's Motor" and zoomed down the A12 to pick up Bec, then it was all off to Michelle's 21st Birthday Fancy Dress Do in Twickenham...
But, in an act of sheer thoughtlessness, Michelle had arranged her party for 13th Nov '99, the same day of the England V Scotland match that had some sort of bearing on some kind of position they'd be in, or who'd they play in some cup or other...I don't know, summat like that...
So we met Paul at his Dad's house first, watched the footie there and tarted ourselves up, too.
Paul had given Ste detailed directions the night before but, having forgotten them, Ste said "Ah, it's all right, I'll remember them".
We arrived at the end of Paul's Dad's road at 1pm - we arrived at the house at 1.40pm - sound like a familiar Ste Navigation story to you?
So here we have Bec painting Ste's
toenails black. Nothing to do with fancy dress, it's just a
"thing" we do from time to time...
In the back of Matt's Motor, Ste had done a pretty good job of painting his fingernails himself - not bad for his first time, or at least he said it was the first time he's done them...
...but Bec had offered to paint his thumbnail and, being the laddish lout she is, she had made a bit of a mess...but she tried, bless 'er.
So to compensate, Bec made a beautiful job of painting Ste's toenails, giving his toes the careful attention that they have never received before, but have so desperately needed... (Eughh!!!)
This is Matt who, despite looking
like he has consumed two bottles of Smirnoff and collapsed in a
heap on the floor, was perfectly sober and is only tired having
very kindly driven us all to Hayes...
Matt, being the quick-thinker he is, escaped any kind of preparation by going as the Nightstalker, which consisted of only a long black cloak & an axe
Kirk and
Ste - don't they look gorgeous?
After coming to an ammicable agreement about the bathroom arrangements, Ste set about painting his legs and arms grey to transform himself into the Grim Reaper, whilst Kirk painted his face white and whacked his lippy on (as he does every Thursday for Kartouche!) to become Count Dracula...
...and, as you'd expect from these two perverts, smutty comments were rife - Kirk was telling Ste that he was going to suck out his juices, whilst Ste threatened to impale Kirk on his "big chopper"...
It may
sound like a cruel thing to do to a friend, but we didn't tell
Paul that it was a fancy dress party, we thought it would be a
laugh to see him be the only one there in his normal clothes...
He was a bit pissed off that we didn't tell him about it coz he'd only brought his usual clothes, but once he came round, Bec helped him to pick out a nice shade of lippy and put it on.....ahhh...
So there we were, Bec, Kirk, Matt and Ste looking great in costume, Paul looking good in civvies...
When you look as good as this, it'd be a shame to go straight to the party, you wanna let people know how great ya look...
So there's only one place to go...
