A CHILLI GOOD TIME  PHOTOS

Finally after 100+ sleeps since Fleetwood the Modrapheniacs scooter rally was upon us. I kindly allowed Reggie to bunk off school so we could get an early start (do your worst social services) with the first port of call being Morison’s where the weekends supply of pies and sausage rolls were purchased. “I did buy them K66 honest”!! Then it was off to the M1 for what was a pretty uneventful journey to the south coast, apart from stopping to help one of the Doncaster Hunters en route. Good deed over and after negotiating the last of the speed cameras (Munchkin note their location for the return journey lol) it was full throttle all the way.  Arrived at the rally at 3pm and checked into our luxurious 8 berth caravan. Filled the fridge with the brekkie goodies and it was off to see who was about.

Upon walking into the bar I was accosted by Dunny and Andy Humberston who were already perfecting their staggers for the duration of weekend I-Spy, Mr Bean and Angelica followed and the merriment commenced. Until I had a rude text of Eileen who said they were not coming after all, how rude!!! After much pandemonium mainly due to Spy and Dunny’s concern over brekkie I managed to restore tranquillity by announcing that all provisions were in the fridge, to which they replied who needs Eileen anyway?? Another text off Eileen explained that she had earlier lied and was about an hour away. Went to say hello to the Welsh girlies propping up the bar where I was given a new rally hat by Juliette (top banana) complete with dragon (where did she get that piccie of my ex from?). 2 more phone calls off of Eileen coz the 2 sets of directions and the map were wrong well there’s would be?? Then it was off back for some pies and to guide the stragglers in. Eileen, Munchkin and the kids finally arrived soon to be followed by Classy Chick and Blue.

  As we walked to the doo ready to raaaaahhhh we came across Dm’s sporting an OAJJ style t-shirt and feeling a little tipsy! Mr Bean and Angelica were walking behind with a pushchair ready to catch his fall (how considerate)!! Settled the kids in the arcade gave them loads of dosh to keep them happy then headed for the Northern Room. We were greeted by Taxi, Mini, Spocky, K66 (nice lady!) Spy, Dunny, Sue, Ju, Sam and Dean. Munchkin and I went to the bar “well there’s a first for everything”!! Avt and Dawn soon arrived by now the party was in full swing with Voddi jelly being on top of the menu (so many nice new flavour’s), we must have had a little too much because Dawn and Myself proceeded to lick Spy’s nipples (Does he really look like jelly?). Soon it was time for us to become fire eaters with the CSWS special Chilli with a splash of vodka drink…. It had everyone’s lips on fire and we were all playing the game of guess how many chilli’s in the bottle…? I was then put in the corner and was in deep conversation when I was liberated by Taxi saying “Band”. Dance!! So off I went to stomp, think I caught the last 3 songs but enjoyed every minute.  I then spotted OAJJ. Who had disappeared earlier in the night to sit with the Calverton Hornets who informed me that the band played a good set complete with Madness. Specials and other 2 tone classics. next thing I was being took back to the van by Munchkin who at this time was very tired (We didn’t forget the kids don’t worry!).

Saturday morning was soon upon us and it was time for an Eileen and OAJJ rally special brekkie, we text Dms to bring the crowd across for 9.45, then it was a case of how many people can we fit in the van! Whilst dishing up a humongous amount of food for the hoards Sam proceeded to tell us that they had all had brekkie at 8.30. How rude!! But you wouldn’t have noticed given that Dm’s didn’t let us down with his plate sweeping tactics. But give him credit “it did save on the washing up”!! Which he himself and the lovely Kyla volunteered to do, without argument I hasten to add lol. After pots of caffeine and 20 ciggies it was time to get ready for the days festivities.

We dropped the kids off at the pool and had a look round the stalls met up with Calverton Hornets in the bar then through to the Northern room to meet up with the ii’s. Wils and Bobster were also there (who I had forgot we met the night before again!! Tut). Wil’s was then nominated as the ii Rodeo Rider that he duly excelled at and went on to win the trophy (see piccies). We all then decided it was time to watch the footie, until I got fed up and went back to the van for a nap (tis the age!).  I woke to find an empty van all bar Munchkin so decided that I was eating K66’s pie (sorry Kyla). Needed more meat though, did I really eat a veggie pie!! was soon time for Dinner which was free due to a complaint we… sorry OAJJ had put in last year that set us up for the drinking ahead.

Showered, bottled up and ready to go we set out for the best Saturday night in ages…. We started In the Northern room but were ushered through to the main room and our ii party began!! Well apart from the 3 defiant people, OAJJ, Spy and Munchkin… who soon decided it was better to be with us than being looked upon as the 3 wise monkey’s… northern monkey’s that is…. Much drinking and voddi jelly was done by all along with the lovely toffee vodka that everyone was reluctant to drink because of the chilli’s the night before but once everyone had a taste no one could resist!! The band had everyone rocking and Spy decided he was going back for some Chalet sitting, good job he did as everyone ended up there at some stage of the night. I went to find Reet as I had not seen her all night, she was sat in the Northern room wondering where everyone was, so I made a path back to the party for her…It was also time for Sophie’s Birthday celebration’s so the cake cutting and party poppers began (who’s idea was it to give dawn a knife lol) Everyone must of decided that Mr Cad looked like an old co-op stamp book as we all at some stage stuck some confetti to his face. Didn’t he look luvvery!! Most people then decided it was time to drift back to vans etc which left me, Dms, wils, Laura aka stage dancing queen. Yes Laura I was watching!! Wils decided it would be good fun to make some new dances up so I was ready with my chair and gave him the dance of his life ooooops. Did we mention his trophy??? That was until someone decided to let the gas off in the other room (mindless morons). “We thought it was something we had done when the room cleared”, I took Laura, Jess and Laura outside (yes 2 Laura’s was not seeing double)… Dms and Kyla decided to stay in the room to coat watch. After the music stopped we decided to go back to the Northern room for a drink it was then I realised that Munchkin had left me with no money. tut!! Thanks to Joy I managed to get a drink. (Owe you one!). Then decided at around 3 it was time to saunter back, It was back to Dm’s Chalet for coffee and that’s where we met Angel and Savage coming out …  Sam was falling around laughing telling us that Sav had done some cross dressing!! (I do worry about that boy) alas no pics though. I fell on Spy who was still awake despite having gone to bed at 10 and Kyla then kindly moved from her bed so that I could sit and natter… It was then that I thought the Chilli vodka was having an effect from the night before but soon realised all was well as I’d only sat on Kyla’s hot water bottle. phew!!

Back to the van I went after a coffee and was greeted by OAJJ who was waiting up for me all worried… sorry mate but I am a big girl!! After a few hours sleep it was up for sausage sandwiches and back on the road.

How many more sleeps xx ii xx T.aka.Eileen and OAJJ
