Mama Mia!!!

Oh what a night! Early December back in twenty 09 ....

Sorry to destroy that song lyric, but last night we were back in the '70's for Mama Mia's murder mystery, with full '70's dress and food (or at least as near as us old people can get to it).

The evening was somewhat delayed as two of our friends put their car in a ditch before arriving in a taxi, but that's another story! Once they'd arrived the evening went off fabulously with everyone entering into the spirit of the occassion. The investigation was conducted by Inspector Fernando ( a Teddy resplendant in his police medals and carrying a trungeon and handcuffs). The "suspects" were Dr. Sue Patroopa (of Eastern European origin), Walter Lew (Mamma Mia's Agent), Ritchie Keeter (Mamma's support act), Julie Voo (Ritchies Japanese Bodyguard - expert in martial arts), Jacqui Chansonme (rival Agent), Dan Sequin ( Mama's Choreographer), Ivor Dreme (her security guard), and Davina Texital (her PA). So that's a little quiz for you Abba fans!

Our friends Sue and Jon had put a huge amount of work into organising the mystery, games, the food and everything,and so the outcome was an incredible success, finishing at 2 in the morning.

I don't know how we're going to match that at Christmas!
