Hilariously I've just been genuinely surprise pied at my New Years Eve party! What a start to 2017! Mike often gets me surprise presents so it didn't seem that daft that he told me to close your eyes as midnight struck! Everybody was in on it! They all toasted with champagne as I got pie sandwiched by Mike as my friend took pics! Brilliant surprise! Is this a record for first pies of the year!
Here's a 'clean' photo someone got earlier in the night! I can't believe it didn't remotely occur to me that he'd get me at such a moment in front of people. It was genius timing and he totally set me up for it!
To save answering people individually who now want to know the detail (I should have known shouldn't I? Ha!Ha!) Ok,you know that shit kids game called Pie Face that leaves a tiny bit of cream on people's noses? It seems it's a craze at the moment. Then someone unaware of WAM bought it for one of my kids and also one couple had bought it for their kid and my friend had posted photo's of herself with a tiny bit of cream on her nose as though it was hilarious and I'd said earlier what a waste of time it was and it was a bit pointless. Anyway Mike says about 10 mins before midnight what a shit game it was and brought up the subject again about what was the point and it should be called Pie Nose. My friend took the bait and started saying it's just a bit of fun etc (and not getting the point) but more importantly I took the bait and started saying I knew how to take a proper pie etc and we were joking about modifying my kids one to take a massive pie etc. The others were saying how great that would be but one was going on about health and safety! Then Mike changed the subject and New Years came with all the fireworks etc and we had champagne etc Then at about 12.03am he said he had something special for me and he wanted our friends to share it with but he did it all romantic and serious and talked emotionally! He held my hands and stroked my hair etc and said he had something very special for me I would remember forever. My friends though he was about to give a diamond necklace or something! He'd hidden two massive pies behind the sofa about 20 mins before when he 'went to the loo' and we were in the middle room. Anyway I shut my eyes,and everybody waited and he apparantly did the 'keep quiet' finger to the lips to the others,and grabbed the pies silently and then just planted them either side of my head and rubbed them together in my face! The room collapsed laughing and it took me a while to realise what had happened! As he pied me he said 'I got you the luxury version of the Pie Face game!' It was brilliant! I didn't clean it off for about 20 mins which the others couldn't believe and I was just chatting away fully pied!
Oh my god that is SO weird you mentioned Cato! Mike only told me who Cato was on New Years Eve,totally unrelated to the pieing (obviously as it hadn't happened yet!) I've never seen a Pink Panther film and we are going to watch the box set. Mike knew Burt Kwouk who played Cato and was telling me about a party Roger Moore held for Unicef at the Grosvenor and Mike,who normally doesn't get pissed decided he was up for it and he and then ex ended up in Lord and Lady 'X' s hotel suite. Mike woke up about 5am on the settee feeling sick with Burt Kwouk leaning against him asleep and was most disappointed everybody else in the room was zonked out as he said 'not now Cato' to the unconscious Burt! Ha!Ha! Great eh!
