(from me, can't talk for tealeaf), is taken as a deep dark criticism, but you find fit to lump us together. T' doesn't need my help in criticising you, I don't need his help to tease you.

But I've got to admit you've gone overboard yet again to put together an afternoon that really does make us blokes want to dash out and join you in these enthralling events. I personally will spend the afternoon counting how many grains of rice I can push up my nose before I have to swallow, (maybe it's not what you call art but I bet I could get a grant for it!).

Now in future could you please not put T' and I in the same category, I will tolerate these none events he can't stand them, I will always tease you given the chance because I think you can, (given time), realise that's what I'm doing.

So far as spending time drinking? I am always grateful to the woman that drove me to it.;)

If you want the absolute truth, I'm getting tired of having to continually defend myself. I'm not starting fights, taking people for money they can't afford or selling drugs - I am putting on arts events. I am then taking the time to tell the local population about these arts events so that the people who are interested can come along and enjoy them. Imagine the waste of money if I put them on and no one came!

Yes, it may be overboard, but why the heck not! It's not meant to be serious, it's fun - fun is right there in the title.

As for the rice thing - you should have made that suggestion in Tinkerbelle's Children in Need thread - we could have had a sponsored 'how many grains of rice can Less stick up his nose' event, a bit like 'how many sweets in a jar' sort of thing. :D

If they were so concerned they would get off their backsides an organise something themselves. They complain about it being a waste of public money when I would guess you have tapped into some lottery fund or another that anyone could could apply for.

I am fairly sure though Gayle that if they did organise something you would keep your gob shut and not criticize their hard work. I can imagine how much time and effort you have put into this event, its a shame others can't.
