I say a tentative yes for that assuming nothing urgent pops up then.

 

Pirate wise, I remember feeling very jealous of one of my mates a few months back. He works for Odeon cinemas and was actually asked to spend the day dressed up as a pirate when the last Pirates of the Caribbean film came out. Yes. He spent a day at work as a pirate and got paid for it too. Git. :(

On the other hand, he has to work at a cinema.

Will sir be coming to jump through some trees and possibly off a bridge?

I ought to be able to come to this Meat, and I reckon Bob'd be up for it also. I shall ask him.

Are you coming?

Aye, I'll be there with one proviso: I've been provisionally booked to speak at a mediafag conference in Malaysia some time in October. But I should know my dates (if any) soon.

ASSUMING I am in attendance, the dog basket is thrown open, as ever, to anybody whose online moniker doesn't rhyme with Spazzo.

Your name rhymes with sin, therefore you are not only invited, but given A list sit-next-to-Manthorp-and-get-uncomfortably-pawed guest status.

Definately worth the price of the ticket. I'll check my calendar.

You bastard. You prosed that position to me for the next meat :-((

No good for me, I'll catch you cunts at the next one.

PLUS you'll get utter pride of place in the dog basket. Even above Kenny for whom the dog holds a particular and somewhat worrying affection.

I'd be more than happy to have Linn on top of me in the dog basket positionings.

Always the gent.

Now I'm definately going to try to clear my calander!

:D

You definitely should come, Yorks ace. I think we should pop into Blades and wave some broad swords about.

In all honesty, I would love to come and meet you all. Waving swords about would be icing on the cake!

Thanks.
 
:)

Sure whatever.

Kind people of teh. May I join in this fine meet please?

 

Dearest Manthorp, may I crash upon a small section of dog basket, or possibly neighbouring real estate, for example door mat area or similar.

 

Finally, Mr Kenny, will you be traveling from Glasgow down? If so, may I travel in your packpack (if so, I promise to wear light clothes) or if not, what's the best way to travel in a southward direction?

 

I thenk you.

 

<goes to book weekend off work>

I've found that the best way to get to Yorkshire is by train, and if you can book suitably far in advance, there are the occasional cheap tickets to be had. Of course, that all depends on deciding on a date and all that. I think we probably need to wait until Mr Manthrob confirms his Malaysian mediafag commitments.
