Itchy Gig on a Meaty Poll

I met up with Wayne in Dunstable for a few beers [quite some time ago].

It was posted on here by Wayne and I was the only person able to attend.

We had a jolly time though!

Although, people who come to London (etc) and ask "anyone who is around" for a drink might count, so probably there are some two person meats.


Quite a few 2 person meets then.

Me and Voltane and Sarah(?) has a fully organised and posted on here meat, which is one less than yours and thus smaller.


Rachel. Sarah was/is Dan's bird.

I've still to ask about possible floor space here. If it's a yes then it'll either be 2 sleeping bags on the floor or the really good result of 3 people in beds too (if 2 don't mind sharing a double bed). Will definitely try before the weekend.

Oooh, that could potentially turn five maybes into five yeses, which would be good.


(And if Manthorp were one of those, I'm sure the double bed would have no problem being filled.)

I'm sure the bed wouldn't be the only thing being filled in that case (yes, John).

And I was with my mental friend. It was a beautiful moment.

 

Not to sound like an utter dullard, but when is this meet? I can't see a date on the first post (on light mode anyway). I only ask because Jesus-shitting-Christ I'm actually in London for the next few weeks, and could attend my first ever meat.

 

That isn't just me and Andy, I mean.

Right, there is now a double and a single bed available at mine on the night of the 20th for anyone that needs it.
And floor space for maybe 2 if there's more that are in need.

or should that be 'neither am I'?

That depends on how you pronounce "neither".

'neetha', 'nytha'
'nytha', 'neetha'

I've booked my train ticket so will be there.

 

Manthorp has suggested he's booked his too but is currently ignoring me so I don;t know if he lied.

What did you do? Has she let you back in the house, now?

To: Dan (HERMAND) 63 of 80
I had to wait till she was out and snuck back in.

I was up in Gateshead Sunday & Monday with Greyhair taking down our artfag installation (according to Doug the Park-keeper, it was the hit of the show), then down to Birmingham yesterday to deliver a day-long seminar on the potential of social technologies for arts organisations.

Dim Sum in Chinatown with the guy delivering 4ip in the West Midlands, across to Chipping Campden to overnight at my mum's. This morning I was off to Rugby to pick up a lathe I bought on Ebay, then to Stratford for a meeting with Radio Wildfire and the RSC.

So I'm shagged, and not in a fluid exchangey kind of way.

this a wood lathe or a metal lathe? (ie; are you about to start fabricating your own folding laser gun !??!*)




thinking more clearly, I suspect it's for wood, being as how you like a bit of whittling etc.
From: Manthorp18 Dec 2008 08:07
To: JonCooper 67 of 80
Aye, it's my second wood lathe, a Tyme Cub. I've a had pre-war Arundel lathe for years.

How confusing do they have to make booking tickets? I mean, seriously, how many variations of off-peak can you have?!

I have though managed to book tickets to Marylebone. I'm feeling quite ill right now, but hopefully will be OK for Saturday.
