It has been brought to my attention that one
Mr. Don Red, an American gentleman of some
infamy, will be visiting the
British Empire from Tuesday the 21st of January 2003, up until such point at
Her Majesty's convenience whenceforth his services will no longer be required, or are exhausted, whichever is the sooner.
To mark this 'special' occasion, the fine upstanding body of men, women, cats and monkeys known collectively as 'Britnoders' have been requested to gather at a public house to regale Mr. Don Red with stories of their exploits, and to consume alcoholic beverages and exotic vittles from the Indian subcontinent and other places.
The date:
Friday 24th January 2003, 1730Hrs onwards
The venue:
Penderel's Oak
