Winston Churchill Prom Night 2009

Dedicated to Scrivener's prom.

In the morning I woke up with the sense of occasion. What will I get up to? How will I get home? Will there be an after party? Who will be prom king and queen?

Well the getting ready process started at about 4 30 where I packed all my things and headed to Langy's. The first drama of the day was a pretty major one. I put my shirt on and went to do up the sleeve to find there was no button. There simply wasn't one. It turns out I needed cuff links. I managed to get some. Then the next drama was equally very big. I decided I should have a cravat and went to put it on and thought, How the hell does this work. I went around the parents and nobody new. It just had to be me with the tie that nobody knew how to do. In the end google was my friend and Kath and Karen saved me.

Things weren't going well and then we were served another slice of disappointment. The already late limo got held up and would be even later. So we did some pictures and then when the limo came at 8:15, 45mins after the prom had started, we went straight to bisley. Now by this time I was in a foul mood. My hired waist coast was already missing two buttons buttons when another fell off in the limo. Now I was cross and then we were given some pink fizzy stuff instead of champagne. It was shaping up to be a long, long night and it got even better. As we were so late we arrived at Bisley to the sum total of 7 people. 5 of them from Louis' family. Not quite the fanfare entrance. At the entrance door I was then searched by Mr Scrivener. That was an odd experience to say the least.

Anyway things were on the up. We had got to the prom! I was in such and mood I wasn't expecting much but as it happens the prom was quality. Really quality. I was now buoyant. Especially since I was in a mood and when I'm in a mood I normally stay in one. The only minor thing was it being like a Microwave inside. Amazingly and pretty spectacular from my point of view I got 4 dances from the 3 slow songs. The Prom King was Zohib and Queen was Chloe Harris. Then the music stopped and we had to go outside to watch fireworks. Now I was expecting a Catherine wheel attached to a tree or one of them little fizzer things that your next door neighbour has but the fireworks were amazing. The really were good. 10 minutes of fireworks which I've got to say was better than the Ripley Bonfire fireworks. It was incredible. Still reeling from shock we went back in for the last few songs and then it was all over. Prom was done. Mr Scrivener sir you organised a superb prom. Cheers.

Thank you everyone.

Due to Karls after party being cancelled a couple weeks ago there was chaos as to where we would go. In the end we went to Brookwood. It was quality and a great way to end the night.
