ukgimp · June 01, 2011, 04:30:47 PM

just working on the details, hopefully in for Friday

In case anyone is staying around for part of sunday, I have a small road trip to undertake that anyone is welcome to join me on.

* Cheddar gorge, to pick up some 'proper' farmhouse cheddar
* Rich's Farmhouse Cider (the best cider I have ever tasted) to pick up a polypin.

I guess it will take about 2 hours or so - probably stop for lunch somewhere too - then back to Bristol

I'm definitely attending, I need to practice my English. And am up for a road trip on Sunday.

mick g · June 01, 2011, 06:56:12 PM

I cant make it either

much too busy at work and way behind with the weather plus a guy who works for me has dislocated his shoulder

Mick

You need to keep the guys off your pole dancing rod

Doug

Still in for the Friday. Presumably Andy's still coming over?

mick g · June 02, 2011, 06:05:18 AM

ha ha i know Doug

sadly its Seamus, we had a session on Monday as it rained all day and we watched the play off instead and I had gone outside asking the taxi driver to wait while he finished his last pint, I walked back inside and he was on the floor in lots of pain

everyone was saying he will be alright as people do after lots of beer but i knew it was a bit more serious and took him to the hospital where it turned out his arm was out of its socket

anyway i hope you all have a good time

I'd love to have made it. Whilst I'm not big in to being social, I'd already come to the conclusion that I owe a stack of people here a drink. However I made a promise to my wife that I wouldn't do any over-nighters until we can get our children to start synchronising their sleep a bit - so I might have to wait 10 or 12 years more.

Have fun all though.

Gurtie · June 02, 2011, 12:15:34 PM

you could pop up for lunch on Saturday?

No car at the moment, remember! Bastard thing - going to be next tue/wed before I get it back. I'm in danger of losing weight with all this damn walking.

It's do-able by train - just been looking at it. That also has the advantage of being able to return drunk - although does mean being drunk and transferring in southampton at some point, so I'd end up stabbed as part of the deal.

Booked. No room at the inn so staying at Raddison blue round corner or something like that.

The drunken transfer in Southampton alone will make it worth it.
