I am revisiting my former position on this inviting business. We love the band. We invite the band. The band has prior committments? The band has to wash their hair? The band has CoVID and is in quarantine?
How much asking do we do before we are Co-dependent with the band? (We are already Co-dependent with each other.)
I am taking this too seriously. Never mind.
C'mon over, Mr. Partridge! Please bring the Missis, she is one smart individual and she likes Danny Kaye.

Andy said he might (this is) pop in soon. Col said, in another life.

Keep Andy well away from politics. That's not his forte.

Cucumber sandwiches! I don't know what that other thing is.
I hope Mr. Partridge was greeted and welcomed with heartiest zest that wasn't too over the top. I know you guys-you can be just like me...with the squealing and loudness that makes even mice cringe and flatten their teensy ears.
Mr. Partridge is WAAAAAY more interesting than cucumber sandwiches which are of great interest to me.

I want one of those multi-tiered tea service trays inclusive of the cute little cucumber sandwiches and other small bites I can eat in way too much abundance compared to what I should have. Oh and some tea. Plus scones w clotted cream.

Here you go: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubbuteoMany, many years ago I and a flat-mate used to play the cricket version, which is proper mad. We'd keep a cricket score book* and invent stupid teams, like Hollywood Horror actors vs The Marilyn Monroe Invitaion XI and such things: Lana Turner bowling bouncers at Peter Lorre was a complete joy! *If I can find you a picture of a cricket score book I'll post it here Mare. A properly done one is a thing of great beauty. Ours was not, largely due to an excess of alcohol. You have no hope of understanding either!

A properly done one is a thing of great beauty. Ours was not, largely due to an excess of alcohol. You have no hope of understanding either! Thank you for the link, bimble! I think the card players would have been sucky after having the little rubber/plastic/metal ones. I can't believe it took the dude over 20 years to get the game on the market. All in all, it sounds like it could be rowdy fun in the house for kids and with the over 18 crowd with the addition of alcohol perhaps some collateral wreckage of brick mum's treasures. Grin. I would have fun with the Cricket silly team, series and championship trophy names. What a blast that must have been. I do not think Mr. Partridge would have used his best soldiers, though. They are too valuable. Perhaps some duplicates with scratched up faces and missing paint. What kind of shape are the Back Porch Subbuteo pieces in? Are there such things as tiny Monty Python figurines? (Gumbys, Missus Leagues of Recreations of Military Battles, various favorite characters and Terry Gilliam creations...) With some Cricket game rule instructions, I would like to call that game!

Didn't they make from some company tiny figures of the guys in the band? That would be funny to see them playing as themselves

(My daughter wants me to make her a jacket for when she and her friends get together for something somewhere (I forget). I have never made a jacket that has something that sticks out like a hula-hoop around a person, though. Unsure of my potential success on this project.)
