Just had a call from him this minute. he's got a broken ankle! He's being kept in overnight. Big girl.

Holy shit. My diagnosis was a bit shit then - "You'll be fine in the morning...".

 

He's joined the exclusive broken ankle club.

What actually /happened/ to Mouse?

He collided with a high speed badger.

Even Mouse doesn't know. He disappeared from outside Manthorp Towers for a couple of hours, eventually knocking faintly on the door at about 3am, sodden & mucky and unable to walk.

He had been freshish on the train: he stood up once, then fell headlong onto the floor. But he seemed ok walking up from the station. Abduction by badgers seems most probable.

Were you shouted at by an irate train replacement bus driver?

 

That was fun.

No, but the conductor displayed a touching concern for Mouse's well-being when Mouse hurled himself onto the floor at his feet

/MY/ God that was an exciting one... could've done with a few more people, but nevertheless it was great.

 

Thank you very very much Steve for the hospitality (no pun intended), and hope Mouse gets better. I'll upload some pics today or sometime soon - currently I'm a bit "high" due to the amount of caffeine I consumed on the way back to London.

uh!

 

So I broke my promise to not drink much on Friday and spent the entire journey from my house to Serg's trying not to throw up.
Then I told Serg and Elena that was going to have a non-alcoholic drink first to ease myself back into drinking but end up ordering a pint of Black Sheep straight away.
I didn't have a non-alcoholic drink until early this morning.
So I ended up not feeling well on the journey back too. (fail)

 

But in between a lot of fun was had!

 

Thanks to Serg and Elena for the lift, tea and chocolates.
Thanks to Manthorp for the floor space, the beer, the breakfast and most importantly for not getting upset at all the triple whiskeys I seemed to finish off from the bottle Serg brought with him as a gift. :-$

 

Thanks to everyone else for some great company, we should do it again sometime soon-ish.

Not viewable through that link. :(
So i'll just have to browse manually (forgot you are in my friends list).

*tags himself as Rich seems to have forgotten as well*

And i'm about to shred my website usage by hosting this video of Dyl's musical prowess.

Hey, I tagged you as Voltane :P

Heh. You weren't wrong about shredding your data transfer usage:

It sounds as if I sadly missed a jolly good meet.

 

May I once again propose a Northern Northern (Scottish) Meet, in a frantic attempt to ensure I can attend again?

 

I can offer a rather large floor, most probably a free doublebed room (1 flatmate should be away for a few months) and kitchen with a comfy sofa in it... most probably room for lots.

 

Edit: In an attempt to be as good a host as Mr Manthorp I will cook sausages the day after. They may well be from my local butcher, but they will be of the sliced sausage variety, not from linked sausages. How is that for a selling point, 40% cow fat and sinew in a roll....

Get it sorted then Craig me fella. :D

I propose a Northern Northern Northern Northern Scottish Northern Meet.

 

In Wick.

I propose a Northern Scottish Southern Meat Rematch. In Bannockburn.

I'd recomend staying in the Golden Lion in Stirling, then. The hotel in Banockburn is a bit shit, and Stirling has an awesome selection of 3 good restaurants.

May I suggest that if the English contingent are staying there, the Scots hole up on the other side of the river, just by the bridge?

Good idea, it seemed to work well last time...
