We'll see : )
I'm looking forward to having something to do with my hands again. I used to do patchwork many years ago.

'something' to 'do' with your 'hands'...
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 18 Aug 2011, 20:35, Reply)

Hey b3th.
Have you given any thought to what time you want to go on the pier when we head to the seaside? It just has bearing on what, if any, work I'll do that day.

Are you coming to the London bash?

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 20:56, Reply)

Yeap.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 20:58, Reply)

How you getting there?

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:02, Reply)

I booked some train tickets.
Just a tenner each way. I'm going to leave here on the Saturday lunchtime and come back on the Sunday.

What plans have you made?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:05, Reply)

Of course, if it's a secret, that's fine,

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:16, Reply)

Train on Saturday morning
and coach back on Sunday
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:27, Reply)

What time are you getting the train?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:44, Reply)

Early
the cheapest ticket was to board the train at 9am so that's what I went for. Only a pound on megabus(train)
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:47, Reply)

I think I booked my outbound train for about midday.
Sunday, I think I booked the return leg for about 2pm.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:58, Reply)

Are you going to show up sober this time?
and would you like to request a cake, since it's a joint birthday bash?
(berk, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:38, Reply)

I thought that was addressed to me
and was trying desperately to think of a time I turned up drunk. There's loads of birthdays round that point *hints*
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:42, Reply)

Would you like to request a cake, then?

(berk, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:44, Reply)

Can we have a lemon drizzle cake please berk?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:45, Reply)

I'll see what I can do for you, Jeff.

(berk, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:47, Reply)

I don't want you to do 'anything for me' berk.
But cake would be nice.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:51, Reply)

Now I'm caught between a rock and a hard place
my natural greediness spoke first demanding cake, and then my sensible side spoke and pointed out that I would scoff the lot.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:45, Reply)

Ah, it's your birthday
and since you are likely to be consuming several days worth of calories just in alcohol, you may as well have cake as well.
(berk, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:48, Reply)

This definietlymakes sense.

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:50, Reply)

I agree
I'm not bothering with a big birthday thing this year so this will do nicely
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:53, Reply)

Dunno.
Lunchtime-ish would probably be best. Or even 11:00. Then we can hit the pier, start drinking, have some lunch, do some more drinking, have a go on some rides, try not to throw up, go on the crazy golf, do some more drinking, have fish n chips, fall onto a train home (except me, obviously - I'll have mr b3th to come and pick me up, giggling and drunk).
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:26, Reply)

Needs more drinking

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:28, Reply)

And then you're going to do it all again the following day?
Hardcore.
(berk, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:31, Reply)

No retreat, no surrender.

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:32, Reply)

I don't think I'm going to be able to make it
which makes me very sad indeed. I definitely wouldn't have been able to get pissed two nights running; I just don't have the stamina for that kind of shenanigans any more.
(berk, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:36, Reply)

Welcome to old age.

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:37, Reply)

I've been quite fortunate in that I rarely get hangovers anymore
this is due, however, to it requiring much, much less alcohol to get me drunk. So there are positives to getting old.
(berk, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:39, Reply)

Tickets are about a pound on megabus at the moment
just booked mine :)
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:37, Reply)

For London?
I'll be living in Leamington then; £15 return on the train. Woop!
(berk, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:38, Reply)

That's not bad- you have to come!

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:41, Reply)

The London bash, I can
the pier bash is looking increasingly unlikely. Oh - and I'm damn well going to get to Spitalfields this time!
(berk, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:43, Reply)

You could always stay at mine :)
and head up with me the next day
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:44, Reply)

It's not the money that's the issue
it's getting the time off work - it's my last day at my current job and I have almost no holiday left.
(berk, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:51, Reply)

+ you need to pack.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:53, Reply)

I started when I got in
I got bored very quickly.
(berk, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:55, Reply)

Pfft of course
though I suspect the next day will be heavier drinking.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:38, Reply)

This is what I was thinking.
I'm heading to London Friday late afternoon.
( girlinthehole, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:31, Reply)

We can make it earlier then.
A 10:00 start if you would prefer...
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:31, Reply)

No, 11 or 12 noon is fine.
It won't take long to get to London from Bristol.
( girlinthehole, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:46, Reply)

11 then.
at The Carrot.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:53, Reply)

I'll probably get the train down to the 'Mare.
Are there usually cabs a plenty at the station?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:54, Reply)

What for?

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:54, Reply)

joyriding

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:55, Reply)

Hahaha.
The train station is a five minute walk from the sea front.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:56, Reply)

So in answer to my question....

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:57, Reply)

Yeah, it's just a stroll.
Takes five minutes at a walking pace.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:58, Reply)

Fair enough.
A stroll it is!
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 22:00, Reply)

I can arrange for the mayor to hold a welcome ceremony and escort you into town...





After all, the police will probably be escorting you OUT of town.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 18 Aug 2011, 22:05, Reply)

If you don't mind.
That'll be great. I'll just wait at the station until the mayor turns up.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 22:07, Reply)

The journey from the station to wherever it is we'll end up meeting.
From memory, it is a bit of a walk from the station to the front.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:56, Reply)

How late in the afternoon?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:47, Reply)

I dunno. Six or seven o'clock maybe later?

( girlinthehole, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:53, Reply)

So evening rather than afternoon then!

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:53, Reply)

That's not afternoon, silly.
That's nearly bedtime!

in which case I won't be coming :(
I've to work

Chuck a sickie
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:52, Reply)

can't
I'll spend the rest of the day wracked with guilt, I have a bastard of a superego
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:53, Reply)

What will be worse though....
A day spent feeling guilty at the thought of throwing a sickie, or a day being all paranoid that we'll all be talking about how much we HATE Cavy?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 18 Aug 2011, 21:57, Reply)

well better you do it when I'm not there
than when I am :(

I'm guessing no one would ever come to a swansea bash? Even if it were on a pier with a monkey in a bikini?

I WILL NOT BE WEARING A BIKINI!!!

didn't I tell you this story the other day?
It didn't originally have a bikini, someone nicked it for a week or two, modified it and returned it
