Not made up my mind about Friday evening, friends are going but it is something I would not have done in the UK, the thought of sitting with a glass of vino making polite conversation in a room full of people I don't know gives me the Hebe gibes. I understand there are tickets still for sale and will be obtainable at the door on the night, only time will tell.

I thought you were into swingers parties! :rofl:

I feel the same way but I will be going with a friend who has problems with her house. The Mayor is supposed to be going but maybe he will have a 'more pressing engagement' ! I will be very surprised - and impressed - if he does go but, if he does, my guess is he'll make a swift exit if he thinks there will be loads of Brits bending his ear. I hope I'm wrong.

Maybe see you guys there. :thumbsup:

The Night I met Mrs Posh.................................:p

The bar was dark, lit only by a few well hidden lights near the
ceiling. A dense crowd of Ex-Pat revelers rubbed elbows
along the long bar. The air was filled with smoke, the kind of
thick, smog-like smoke that hangs heavily in the air like
clouds in a mountain pass on a stormy night. The deafening
tones of heavy metal rock blaring from overhead speakers
pierced my ears with a relentless, painful rhythm, alerting my
survival instincts to turn and head for the door, and perhaps
seek a more serene place to unwind from the stresses of the
demanding work in my orange groves just past. But then, through the dense,
swirling mass of humanity, a single face captured my attention,
and a divine bliss engulfed my soul, resurrecting my spirits,
and turning my restive, troubled mood into joyous contentment,
for at that moment I relised that my long journey to find true
love had come to an end.

I'm due to go but it looks difficult for me as too much is happening up Huelva way. I'll make a decision tomorrow afternoon but it's going to be tough. Shame because I would like to have had the chance to get a lot of people's stories. I hope I can juggle things.
