10/02/07 0900 - Side roads a bit meh, but the main roads are fine & public transport running as normal. As you were! See you later. Met office says "melty melty" but still chilly.
09/02/07 19:30 - Severe Weather Warning Update: Despite the snowy weather here in t'Midlands, the party is still going ahead.
Bloody hell, it's only a few inches of snow, for pity's sake!
It's my birthday on the weekend prior to St. Valentine's Day. So that I don't get in the way of your celebrations of this unfortunate Catholic martyr, I am having a "do" on this day, the tenth of February.
Because I love you all, I'd like you to come along and celebrate with me.
If you like me enough to spend money on me - perhaps you're one of those eccentric millionaires, or you desperately want to get into my pants - then I have an Amazon Wishlist here.
You will be expected to dress up. Or at the very least, wear an amusing hat. And dance! Dance my pretties!
The venue is upstairs at The City Tavern, Bishopsgate Street, Birmingham - 30 seconds limp away from the bright lights of Broad Street.
CONFIRMED LINE UP so far:
WellFired - live rock!
The Sugarfoot Girls - quirky vintage DJ set!
BoogieDave - DJ set. Warning - Extreme breaks!
8PM start. Last orders 1:30AM.

Hmmm, Birmingham ... Hmmm, train times and prices ... Oh, but I do love you all so very much ... hmmm.
I'll have to leave rather early again to be able to get home. I shall have to see, I really would like to though!
Edit: penciled in for now :)

I'll have to think about the cost first
/always skint blog
( , Thu 7 Dec 2006, 13:41, Reply)

I shall also be requiring a small amount of floorspace - I can also fit in cupboards if need be
I'd have an awesome, if not rather uncomfortable, costume
( , Thu 14 Dec 2006, 22:32, Reply)

but alas i cannot guarantee, due to my chaotic and unpredictable life at the moment

Or in Brum, I should be delighted to attend.
Love or no love.
Had to blow out the last Brum one due to being on a promise (which inevitably turned into a rain of shit). So will redouble efforts to get to this one.
(Coffin-sized amount of floorspace available for waif/stray with low standards)

At a guess, I'd say it's one of the other ones.
What do our other readers think?

It really says "The Royal Town Of Sutton Coldfieldshire"

of the 19th. However, since this is in the right area, Dr, may I adertise it and call it such?
( , Sat 23 Dec 2006, 1:41, Reply)

And would probably require somewhere to stay, if anyone could put me up.
( , Sun 31 Dec 2006, 15:25, Reply)

but I shall try my dirty damndest to attend.
p.s. did you ever get a copy of the photo your saucy lady friend took at the Hallowween bash in Cov? I luffed it...
( , Mon 1 Jan 2007, 16:09, Reply)

I'll do my utmost to attend, and hopefully bring along Batsgirl too if she's in the area. Costumery will be unlikely, though inappropriate hattage should be expected.
( , Wed 3 Jan 2007, 2:45, Reply)

but Brum's ever such a long way away.....
( , Wed 3 Jan 2007, 17:31, Reply)

*checks atlas*
*uses calipers*
hmm. that rather depends on whereabouts you are.
the nice central location for most places south of scotland is quite easy to get to, even with quite big distances*
go on, give it a shot, the worst that could happen is you might get home with a Brummie accent ;)
edit: ah, 'oodersfield. the point still stands, though going home there with a brummie accent could be a Bad Thing really.
we have trains and motorways this far south too, you know
*excepting suffolk, for some reason. probably as they have yet to discover The Road.

made me laugh ever such a lot
( , Thu 4 Jan 2007, 16:29, Reply)

You could probably even crash at mine...
( , Thu 4 Jan 2007, 14:07, Reply)

plus there is another issue........................
( , Thu 4 Jan 2007, 16:30, Reply)

Don't worry, nobody will point and laugh at your third eye.

( , Thu 4 Jan 2007, 14:37, Reply)

although this has been the case for ages
I'm so broke it hurts, plus I have mangled my finger in a tragic DIY accident
( , Thu 1 Feb 2007, 9:23, Reply)

Tragic? Are you sure it wasn't a comedy DIY accident?
Seriously though - hope it's nothing too serious.
( , Thu 1 Feb 2007, 10:54, Reply)

or what you want, but I will try and turn up anyway. Even if trains to Birmingham are extortionately overpriced.
( , Wed 10 Jan 2007, 16:50, Reply)

it's the trains *out* of Brum that are the overpriced ones - try looking at a single in each direction and be dismayed ;) they don't want people escaping, you know...
I think you'll get on with doctorwhen just fine :)
( , Sat 13 Jan 2007, 17:04, Reply)

I'm not going to be able to make it after all.
But if there is a next time, I will do my best to attend.
( , Fri 26 Jan 2007, 17:43, Reply)

ask Cho if you don't

You minger... you can't come, I'll only ostracise you (or however you spell that damn word)
Didya have fun on Saturday? the nasty bouncers wouldn't let me or Shu back in :(
( , Tue 16 Jan 2007, 10:13, Reply)

Night was most excellent, then got messy and complicated but finally a happy 7:30 am ending :)
Will tellya all about it (if Ads doesn't first).
( , Tue 16 Jan 2007, 17:24, Reply)

I'd like you to draw a hardcore antelope surfing over the b3tans rocking out to my band =D
( , Tue 16 Jan 2007, 9:35, Reply)

I have been offered tickets to the tidy boys on the same night in Brum, might be able to do a beer or two before hand though
( , Mon 15 Jan 2007, 22:05, Reply)

Well, actually, it's "Balthazaar" - but pretty close. And I am always fluffy. Welcome, new girl! It will be fun.
( , Wed 24 Jan 2007, 18:06, Reply)

I've gone and Bought My Train Ticket and everything, so it looks like this one's vaguely official.
Dear Doctor, I vote we attempt to recreate a historic moment (only this time in far more flambuoyant attire, obviously):
...and then I shall place the two side-by-side in my profile*, thus invoking the popular modern phenomenon of 'comedy'.
Oi, Chorizo - you the official Tesco value hotel again? ;)
*the one that seems to have redexed like it's going out of vogue, since I forgot to pay for my webspace this month. Fuckety shitspank.
( , Wed 24 Jan 2007, 11:57, Reply)

Yay! T'will be good to see you mate. I might be in white tie, so make sure your hands are clean this time, yeah?
( , Wed 24 Jan 2007, 18:04, Reply)

but verily i'll keep my festering maulers to myself. ;)
( , Thu 25 Jan 2007, 13:32, Reply)

Hotel Wagon is closed for the night as it is a special night for manbloke and me.
I may change my mind on discussion, but for now I'll have to politely decline.
( , Thu 1 Feb 2007, 15:48, Reply)

and I hope you're already so drunk you eat your own fingers :P
( , Sat 10 Feb 2007, 19:59, Reply)

to meet you mad bunch of people. Hopefully there'll be older people than I there?!
( , Mon 29 Jan 2007, 18:36, Reply)

:(
Oh well, it still sounds fun! Sorted out a hotel room nearby and am looking forward to it. How the hell will I know what you all look like?!
( , Thu 1 Feb 2007, 21:35, Reply)

but failing that, look for a fez.
( , Fri 2 Feb 2007, 1:03, Reply)

I have a former girlfriend's face I sometimes wear as a hat. Just kidding, I think I can rustle up something amusing.
( , Fri 2 Feb 2007, 11:15, Reply)

because of birthdays and what not, I am tempted but I would need a (free) place to crash and if possible free parking.
( , Wed 31 Jan 2007, 21:37, Reply)

if that's alright with all the other gays in the village!
EDIT: And if anyone has a spare corner somewhere, preferably not too damp, for me to lay my head (or wants to go halves on a hotel room) it would be most appreciated.
( , Thu 1 Feb 2007, 22:08, Reply)

Due to having to go to Moscow on Sunday morning, I will now not be able to attend.
Happy Birthday though, and I'm sure I'll get to meet you all eventually when I'm worthy

Sorry mate I am not able to make it. I'm not seeing my daughter this weekend but I've been working in Peterborough for 5 weeks now and they still haven't sorted out the invoicing so I have nothing left in the bank but petrol money, which I need to get to work.... when they do get the sodding payment sorted (I'm owed over £4k now)then I shall drop you something off your Amazon wish list.... still, I'm sure you'll have your hands full with all the lovely folks still going. Have a nice one and happy birthday dude. And forget ye not 'Voulez-vous un souvenir d'Agincourt??' from your trip to Wyzcheznia (or however the fuck you spell that)... and if you get shandy tops then you shall be a lucky lad indeed.
