OH! What about a BE pool party?:)
:thumbup: same here though mine is a shared pool, you are just over the road now so I may well take you up on that invitation :)

(this isn't a Muslim bashing thread before someone tries to say it is)
I'll be back in the motherland for the back end of it anyway, and watching the footy for the rest so I doubt it'll bother me that much - we have one muslim guy at work who will finish early as well all do full days. Not that bothered really, good for him.

As most won't meet fully clothed, I'm interested to see what response this suggestion gets! :lol:

The thought of the BE blokes in their budgie smugglers is most distressing, even with my strong stomach!!

This is British expats, Patsy, not German expats.

You should be fine. Plenty of pasty white skins with a few burned to a deep purple. Swimming trunks will certainly be of knee length. People will awkardly stand around the pool, in the semi-embarrased state of a half naked Brit, and continually say 'isn't it hot enough for you' and 'cheers' while downing G&Ts and cheap beer.

Eventually at some point someone will be drunk enough to do a bellyflop and splash water on the women in the sun loungers.

Towards the end someone will have a heat stroke.

You'd better have the ambulance on speed dial.

God knows what sort of pool parties you have Darling!!
I have... pink bubbly, bucks fizz, chilled white or red wine, 3 or 4 different brands of beer, spirits if people want them.
I have 4 sofas, a bar with bar stools, 2 dining tables and a coffee table area, sunbeds and umbrellas around the pool, loungy floaty chair things in the pool so there are plenty of places for people to sit..no need to stand awkwardly around the pool! :D
If you want to come and show us your speedo clad body and peeling purple skin do feel free darling..we need a floor show :D

You know that Ethos is wildly speculating as he never gets invited to parties. ;)

Why am I not suprised at that news darling? :rofl:

I'd come if I could.

It poured rain at the last pool party I went to and we huddled around the aga in the kitchen instead. I did have swimming trunks on....and a wool jumper.

Not quite the same.

But the booze was indeed very good, as were the wasabi flavoured crackers that Millhouse loves so much.

I'm 6'1, 153.5 lbs and damn close to 0% body fat.

I haven't worn speedos since the swimming team when I was about 13.

Am I still invited?

Actually, this scares me more. No way to escape - I can see it turning into the opening scene of Benny Hill.


But, anyway, I'd go... as long as I can bring my inflatables
