I'm soooo excited about Saturday *bounces*
Are we nearly there yet?

A journey on a big train (and since Tourette's will be with me I don't have to wear a label around my neck with my name and address on), and drinkies with a bunch of people, some of whom I've met and some of whom I only know from the words they spurt from their keyboards.

*bounces again*

*wees*

We'll be leaving early-ish, as we have to get the last train back to Southampton.

I'm very excited too.
I feel like a teenager going to the big city on my own for the first time.

Are the streets paved with gold like they say?
( girlinthehole, Tue 19 Aug 2008, 15:07, Reply)

Yeah!
We're going to London Friday night, staying at my mates in Brixton, then wander across to Victoria in the early afternoon.
(I think!)

*raises a pint*

I'll be arriving 5-6!

I've got to head to Colchester early
for my bro's leaving do, so we're hoping to get there for early afternoon. Unfortunately we're going to have to depart around 6-7pm so unfortunately I won't get to meet some of you.

I hope everyone gets there earlier...
(Bicycle Repairman "you're also a bit of a wanker", Tue 19 Aug 2008, 15:09, Reply)

In that case
We'll make an extra special effort to get there even earlier, train reliability pending. We'll also have Rakky in tow.

*EDIT* I'm also being sent on yet another jolly at the taxpayer's expense another trip to ol' Lunnen town on September 11th for a meeting of life and death, meaning I'll be in t'capital again on the 10th.

*checks liver*

*worries*

Ah!
I'll defo try to get there earlier... I'll try not to be starstruck by the veritable QOTW stardom that is PJM and chickenlady...

I think I'll fail though! :)

Can I give a big shout-out to Rotating Wobbly Hat.
He's going to arrive in London on the Friday afternoon like me and has given me his mobile number in case I get stuck anywhere.

Chivalary is alive and well.

Thank you Mr Hat : )
( girlinthehole, Tue 19 Aug 2008, 15:17, Reply)

Starstruck?
I hope not! I'm very boring in real life, I'm just opinionated and remember a good story.

Chickenlady on the other hand is something else entirely...

She's charming, lovely and has hair that does it's own stunts.

Just remember to keep PJM away from the Captain.
*laughs*

If Saturday doesn't get here any faster...

I swear I'll burst like a bally balloon!

Every time the Captain goes to his car he finds me in the passenger seat honking the horn.

There's a chance I may be over there in about five weeks, and no one will be up for a get together because you'll all be partied out! *pout*

I like the sound of that!

And how could you be boring, you nana? You're like action man with all the cycling and the climbing.

Bah - all B3tans are ace and that's all there is to it.

Aha
that's wherre you're wrong al! by cunning means of deduction I have summised the the Cardinal serves food, and therefore I can get there that little bit earlier.

Plus I'll be popping a couple of official Northerner 'Hard as Fuckin' Nails' pills before I get on the train plus ensuring I get a good night's sleep on the friday so i'll be as right as rain.

I'm pretty gutted to be missing out on this mega bash
you should phone me and collectively bellow obscenities down the line at me to make me feel part of it

Black velvet is to be the order of the evening methinks. No cravat, though - that'd be poncy.

do we
need identifying flowers?

im turning up at 2 and seeing what happens, exactly no home or sleep plans so ready to go with the flow

(and to end up sleeping on a park bench outside kings X)
(Halfy By light alone, Tue 19 Aug 2008, 16:20, Reply)

we will be identifiable by the
awesomeness radiating from us.

Yes, that'll be it. :)

TRL: Whenabouts? I doubt I'll be partied out!
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Tue 19 Aug 2008, 16:23, Reply)

If it happens
it will be in the third week in September.

Still need to negotiate that with the bosses...
( The Resident Loon Not a demographic. Do not measure., Tue 19 Aug 2008, 16:59, Reply)

Well, if it does happen...
And it's not one of the dates that I can't do (like Al, September is jam-packed), I'll be there! :)
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Tue 19 Aug 2008, 17:26, Reply)

Evenin' all!
I'm sat here grinning like a wanking Jap at the thought of the bash (or it could be the biblical levels of stonedness that I'm presently experiencing).
Looking forward to meeting you all!

Are you going to be around at the Sept 18 bash in London or the Sept 20 bash in Southhampton?

Just so you know
I seem to be the unofficial bash photographer and I'll have my big Fuji with me so all those who wish to remain anonymous should construct rudimentary masques NOW :-)

And thanks BGB, there's nowt I won't do for a lady. except if it involves pain, drug running or murders.... All else is no probelmo.
