Preparations started when JT presented Margaret with a dozen yellow roses and in his purrriest voice asked if he could have a 'boys night out' with the other characters. How could she say no? The always organized business man then suggested to his peers that there should be a party doorprize, and he knew exactly what it should be - one of the 'big guy's' original paintings...
Party preparations swung into overdrive - Lucas definitely didn't want to be late as he had volunteered to provide the backdrop for the banquet head table...
Sir Guy wanted to contribute to the event, so being a rather dramatic person, he suggested a night-time military maneuver decoration theme might be appropriate--Lucas was all over that idea, like white on rice. Sir Guy explained he chose night-time to reflect the darker moods sometimes expressed by the honored guest, and everyone agreed Guy was the expert on that subject...
Menu planning was a snap as 'the boss' had already mentioned in a recent interview that he'd eaten a ton of sandwiches while marinating as JP - he's lucky Sir Guy's cute double chin didn't make a comeback, isn't he. Lucas, of course, provided dessert.
Unfortunately not all the characters were able to attend the festivities. Paul called to give his regrets and explain Alona informed him that they've another commitment for that night, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was...
When John Porter finally arrived, he was awarded the coveted "Peaches Trophy"...he looked absolutely natty accepting the award - his military haircut had certainly grown in quickly...
Then in a spirit of warm comraderie cups of cheer were raised and a good time was had by all..

ROFL.. long and loud.
wonderful post - great choice of pics to go with the tale :D
"last minute 'shooting' on the set" had me in stitches :D
Yes, this was a real laugh, so witty!
Don't forget that Peter Macduff has contacts in the restaurant business so beverages would be taken care of, John Standring could provide the lamb for the main course, the snooty man at the party could bemoan the fact that there was no canneloni and Steven could provide CCTV coverage to keep out unwelcome guests.
Could JP keep them entertained with tales of daring rescues missions or would Sir Guy try to outdo him? Lucas and him could always talk tattoos of course.
Forgot one other person. Bad boy John Mulligan would of course come bearing fish and chips and some local lager. Let's hope he remembers the bottle-opener!
Let's not forget Harry Kennedy - he was in charge of settling the accounts!
This was a great way to start my day! Thanks!
You are a shame for Richard Armitage with your blog and Twitter account.
TTN, Enrich2, Tyme4T...so happy you've enjoyed the tale;) It's the result of actually feeling for the past few wks that the other characters were being forced from the gallery by JP. Good to know they've taken the higher road and made peace w/their petty jealous feelings of inadequacy. Did Ian wear his towel to the event, or JT insist a few Plato readings would add some class to the stag party atmosphere? We could go on forever w/the possibilities, couldn't we.

p.s.(Ms 'anonymous' - I'd put my blog up against your bitter/vindictive personality in the court of RA opinion any day of the week. He's referring to your type of small-minded, ugly arrogance whenever he reminds his fan base to be kind to each other. It's amazing how much attention you pay to something you claim to find worthless. How sad & pathetic it is that your life's so obviously empty - hopefully one day a miracle will occur and you'll finally get a life! In the meantime, peddle your boring, tiresome nastiness elsewhere.)
Crawling back onto computer chair, recovering from collapsing in hysterics. Brilliant post, Nat, and the GOOD-HUMOURED commenters!
