Afterdinner speaker ?

[mel]

Is there one this year, apart from Ted and Flashers heckles(or maybe wheezes this year obviously

[Bonce]

Doesn't Polar Ben do after dinner speeches?

[pies]

Beat me to it Bonce

I think Ted has already mentioned that there will not be one this year, something to do with it eating into his Pietime...

[Bonce]

Yeah I guess dinner time must be a bit of a drag in the Polar Ben household if he makes a speech after every meal.

What with the awards, the raffle and a bit of a ramble from me, it can eat too much into the band's time. Last year the band started about and hour later than planned.

We've got a top band this year so I don't want to delay getting them on stage. And we've got a nice big proper stage this year too!

Will that be one that Stig can't manage to clamber onto?

Uh-oh... stage diving!

It got violent enough on the dancefloor when they played Nirvana last year, and there wasn't anything to jump off then!
