Dinner For Six

Let’s stand still for a minute and imagine that there was a competition and you had won the first prize which is a dinner for six in a posh restaurant. It is to be a pure platonic outing and you may invite any 5 CS members to join you; all expenses – even airfares – paid.

According to the rules, you may invite neither your lover nor anybody else you have met previously.

If I should win such a prize, I would suffer a small pang of regret for the one person I would really love to meet is no longer with us. When I first arrived here he was mounted on a horse and wore an equally fearsome horned helmet. Yes, you guessed it. Ms Delatude would have been my choice was he still here and if I could invite only one person. Alas, he opted to leave us and I miss the old geezer.

But now he’s left and I can invite 5 friends. So who will it be? Five friends is cutting it fine and a lot of good friends are going to be left out; not because I don’t like them enough but rather because I am more inquisitive about the following people.

In alphabetical order:
Fotinia, Simmo, Ummka, Welela & Zmountainman.

They are 5 very different people but why them; what do they have in common with me? That is simple, they were all considered to be trolls at some stage. Guess what we will be talking about all night!

Ok, I left out a few other trolls but remember, I may only invite 5 people.

Also note that these people were all here when I first arrived at CS and played an important part in my settling here. No offense to my other friends; When I win the competition again you will certainly be on my list next time.


I trust that your weekend is going exactly according to plan.
