Fair enough. Not sure the rest of us could manage a drunken ramble of that distance - was hard enough going a few blocks. :/

I like the plan, but I'd estimate Ant's roughly 11.5 -12 stone. That's more than my body weight, so even with the best intentions I'd only be able to piggyback back him as far as Salford. :C

More like 13 at the moment. Probably only get to Whitefield then.

Shit.

 

If you only had PB's proportions and body mass... I reckon we could make it down to Chester on the first day easily.

 

It might be easier if I went down to London town and gave PB a piggy back up here. Everyone else will need to sort out their own piggybackers.

I need a volunteer!

*you must also be a very good swimmer.

I'm in that there London for a training course all next week, can't make the meat real but if anyone fancies meeting up for a Pint I could be quite easily persuaded.

What? In water?

 

Never touch the stuff. :C

I maybe in London towards the end of that week around the covent garden area. I shall let you know, would be good to catch up. What course are you doing?

Windows Server 2008 Hands on Administration, I can't help but feel it would have been more valuable 8 months ago before I took over as systems admin and my first task was to upgrade half the servers to 2008R2!

Be good to catch up though mate it's been way too long!

I would like to go but with a new baby, and going on a jolly the night before (and the following Wednesday thinking about it), I think I would have used up all my browny points with the wife so I'm going to have to skip this year.

Aww's and coo's all around, two new-ish dads meeting! At the great risk of being "infected", let me know when if you don't mind me joining as well. I'll do my best not to keep you waiting as long as I kept Wattsy waiting last time :-$

Do you happen to have a submarine?

You do mean next week and not this week right? This week I am mostly in Dubai.

 

Just been skiing in the desert as well! Fooking strange going from +25c to -4c. It was rather good though.

Bugger, no I meant this week, currently sitting on a train on my way to London as we speak. Serg, looks like you might have me all to yourself you luckly blighter ;)

Strangely enough, Dubai was one of the resorts available on the Meilenweiss (ski pass that covers several resorts in Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Lichtenstein) last year. I think it's been dropped this year though.

Depending on when/where you guys pick I might be able to join in. Generally these things seem to be early evening and central which I can struggle to get to unfortunately.

Aww that sucks. We shall have to meat and compare offspring over a guiness or two. Perhaps the women can drive and we can drink a few?

Strange, isn't it a bit, I don't know, far out? Its ok for an hour of getting some snow in but its not a ski resort in the slightest.

 

I really need to go on a snow holiday soon!

Yeah, I think it was more of a gimmick really.

Guys, sadly I'm out. Just can't afford it at the min, so wouldn't really enjoy it anyway. :(

 

Sorry, you know I like to get down there.
