Which EB characters to invite?

Post by Jomo »

You are hosting an ‘event’ for six.
What kind of event will you host - tea party? day at a waterpark? antique market hunting? wild river canoeing? dinner party? gypsy caravanning the back roads?
Which six EB characters would you invite?

My party:
  • George Kirrin (and Timmy),
  • Barney (and Miranda),
  • Andy from Adventurous four,
  • Tammylan,
  • Jack from The Secret Island,
  • Anne Barnard/Kirrin.
We’re a crack team, going on a wilderness adventure hiking holiday together.
The animal companions get a free pass.

The main list looks like a great team - where are you taking them Pete?

The crazy list - what will this team do? :roll:

Is this a contest between the two teams? :shock:

I would hold a tea party and invite Fatty, Ern, Eunice, Bets, Barney and Twigg (from The Six Cousins). Buster, Bingo, Miranda and Mr. Potts would also be in attendance.

A tug of war between my teams Jomo - concluded by either a fun science quiz or a Macaroon eating contest down at the Peterswood Dairy.

(The winning tug of war team to decide on the quiz or the dairy)

:D :D :D

I would invite
Barney with Miranda
Jack with Kiki
Snubby with Loony
Andy (adventurous 4)
Mr Meddle
Moonface


I would persuade Moonface to host the party, visit some amazing lands (let's hope Dame Slap isn't around) and slide down the slippery slip.
If I could live here on this secret island always and always and always, and never grow up at all, I would be quite happy

I think a fancy dress party would be a good idea.

The guests could be:

Fatty, as ’Billy Bunter’.
Mr Lynton, as ‘a clown’.
Aunt Fanny, as ‘Dame Edna Everage’.
Jack Trent as ‘a Great Auk’.
Mr Goon as ‘Hercule Poirot’.
and Susie as ‘the devil’.

When dinner is finished, a witty after dinner speech will be given by Mr Penruthlan.

Viv’s list is brilliant! Some ready talent there. How long do the students spend in training - is it a crash course in counter intelligence and espionage or longer term?

And Pete, how’s the tug of war going? You have a couple of pretty motivated macaroon munchers in the A team!
