Stop the presses & Press the Stoppers!!!!
Another Ball has unexpectedly been brought forward!!!
Postman bring me the news!!!!
The Valentine Ball have been rescheduled to begin
12th
February
as soon as the day begins!
Due to changes beyond our control the many loved
doppels will now reside only in the heart of the
great and good of the B.I.S.S. H.Q. The ball is
being expanded to allow these troopers time to
move and settle into their assigned shoeboxes. The
Guestbook will be used by them to post important
notices as they live their lives beside the
eternal flame. Moneypenny we will visit often
and think of you even more. Webby what will we do
without you!

The Vicar and Tarts Ball
A one-day ball to be held 7 September.
Everyone is to dress as a vicar or a tart. No, we don't
care which type of either you dress as. Be inventive and
original. Perhaps a tarty vicar might do.

Lola.
Quite frankly this wasn't my idea for a B.I.S. ball but I
was told they are quite popular on soaps and sitcoms and we
should do one this year. I really don't care who shows up
at this ball as I don't see the point in it. Someone with
with any ideas please contact the WebMaster as I'm only his
minion and has to do what I'm told. I need creative input!
But nooooooooooo, just do what you're told. Any
excuse to use the nekkid snap. Mutter, mutter......
