Any remote chance of me changing my mind disapeared when I went out and bought a new Xbox today :(

I still say we'd all buy you drinks for the night, seeing as most of us owe you them from last year.

But only if he signs a sworn statement declaring his love for the heartwarming tale of a weatherman, his director and a deal of repetitive incident. One pint per avowal.

I read that as 'a pint per vowel'.

 

If someone's getting a pint for every vowel they utter, that's going to be a very pissed someone.

 

Unless they're from New Zealand. Haven't got a vowel to their name, that lot.

Just to let you know that while I am struggling with logistics, I definitely plan on being there!

Or the Poles. Like the hot metal technician at my artfag college, Bill Scryzpjyk (pronounced Skripjack)

How do people/languages like that get by without using vowels? It's interesting how different peoples have developed vastly differing ways of using letter sounds.

 

It'd be far simpler (and I'd have had a far less strenuous time in my GCSE Spanish aural exam with Miss Francis) if we'd standardised the whole thing from the start.

Is that a metal technician that's quite dishy, or a technician of high temperature metals?

Certainly the latter, but with his hunky physique and village blacksmith vibe he also cut something of a swathe through the artfag womanhood, particularly as the competition largely comprised spotty punks, fey goths and strange nubby-dreadlocked whittlers in industrial workwear.

should we just postpone it then? We're damn low on numbers now, and I have a few other things I could be doing instead/as well/dunno.

That may be a very good plan. I know I can russle up a few more people if it wasn't the 19th December.

Actually, with only 5 of us going now (I didn't realise even EP was dropping out until just now), I'm going to say I'm not going to be there now too. I've got an engagement party I'm meant to be at anyway.

 

We'll re-arrange and I'll see if Helen, Martin and possibly Richard (Gajit on here) and Gemma are up for it too.
