'The Over the Edge Rally

Our weekend away was full of good family fun and entertainment, if you enjoy swimming, dancing, drinking, riding, sleeping and playing with new friends.

Gadgetgirlie won an award for participating in the 'swimathong' silly game, and managed to blag a free breakfast by playing 'little girl lost' at the right time.

Gadgeteen was allowed some alcohol, enjoyed the 'fetish' fancy dress night tremendously, visually that is, (his eyes kept popping out on stalks), and he won two awards for winning in the silly games.

Gadgetman won an award for 'best engineering' for a car-derived Trike and got tipsy, and I won the 'Bollocks and tits' award, got tipsy and danced along with many others, on the tables in my very short leather skirt.

These silly games rely on audience participation and poor old Stan, the rally organiser, was having trouble drumming up volunteers, so The Gadgets came to the rescue and entered every one with gusto.

Gadgetgirlie and teen had to race, (Gadgetgirlie was allowed to wear her flippers), with others to the other end of the pool, and back, then climb out and put on a swimming thong. What a shame that no grownups entered, but the kids were enthusiastic and everyone got entertained anyway.

My award was for wearing HUGE white y-fronts and a 'Jordan'-sized bra, stuffed with water balloons, then running around the marquee popping balloons with a naff handbag, whilst clutching my y-fronts containing very big wobbly watery goolies within.*

Gadgetman is obviously very pleased with his award and all of us gadgets were proud to see him get called up to the stage to receive his plaque. It recognises the all the work and thought that he puts into improving the Trike.

*I was fully clothed too and did not want anything to go 'pop' and 'gush' in a very wet kind of way.
