Who is Matthew?
I'm Matthew. It's my 40th birthday party, and I'll cry if I want to.
I'm also someone who wants to give one last big hurrah for all the good things that being an EU citizen my whole adult life has meant to me.
Who is invited?
You're invited if you are some or all of the following:
- a tango dancer
- someone who wants to help me celebrate my birthday
- someone who wants to celebrate the UK's membership of the EU, which will sadly end in March 2019
The more of those boxes you tick, the more likely you are to be happy joining the party!
By the way, you don't have to be an EU citizen yourself, of course. I'd love to celebrate with tango dancers of the world, not just my little corner of it...

It's so nice to have Strudwick about,

He'll be round again soon,
On his mighty Magic Roundabout

I know a great DJ named Rücker,
Who plays music so utterly pukka,

In Bärbel-induced trance,
Anybody who hears 'er will book 'er.

The thing about King, as you'll know,
Is how much he can alter the flow,
We might start really tired,
But we'll soon be inspired,
Then he'll kill us with Bésame Mucho.
Nikki hates limericks so I promised I'd delete them. But I'm a bad person, and you've found them, so well done! If you want to let me know you've found them and you like them, post 'Emus amuse me' in the facebook event and don't explain to anyone why... If you found them and think they're absolutely awful, post 'Emus amuse me not' in the facebook event.
