Group get together

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Well, the Scottish meeting never quite got going. I'm afraid I was unable to be too active on that.

However, I was thinking of a repeat event in biggleswade in January.

I got told off for not giving enough notice last time.

Anyone interested?

I don't mind doing one at a more convenient location but this depends on someone else finding a venue.

What do you think?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Well im up for that. Hoping I will be a bit closer to biggleswade by that time.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

You seem to be close to everywhere gl. Omnipresent.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Only in the virtual sense...

[Tim]

I'm up for it :)

[Sam]

Would it be open to any group members - even the less active ones?

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Of course.

[Sam]

Then I'll try to make it. It would be good to be able to put faces to names.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Early days yet Sam but you will be most welcome. I still need to check dates.

[Elle]

I am in London from the 3rd to the 7th. Although I am busy on the 4th (play - reason I'm going over)

[Nicola]

Loved the last get-together. Would definitely try to make the next one :)

[Patti (baconater)]

Not sure if I could make a meet in January.

We have to be back in Baku for work on the 6th.

But don't worry about that. Sort a day that suits the most.

[Jud]

I'm not sure I could make January :o(

[M.T.]

I could and would!

[Emma]

I would absolutely love to but am in Australia til the 17th of January. Simon, we should meet up again soon anyway, it's been too long x

[Steven]

I'd be well up for this depending on the logistics of me getting there.

[Jud]

Is there a bus from Luton to Biggleswade?

[Steven]

ashamed to say I don't even know where biggleswade is! lol

[T4bsF (Call me Flo)]

...you are not alone!!

[Jud]

I googled it

[Andrew]

I'm absolutely up for this in principle, depending mildly on the exact date, etc...

[Patti (baconater)]

Afraid I'll have to leave all of the organising of this up to Simon.

I'll mither him to get started on sorting it but he seems mad busy at the moment.

[Darren]

In principle I'm there - given time for childcare arrangements et al.

[Jud]

I'm up for it depending on funds I'm running rather low but flights to Luton are only £70 ish so I could maybe manage depending on price of accomodation and travel to & from airport.

[M.T.]

I'd be happy to give anyone a lift from vaguely en-route from Bury St Edmunds (east anglia) to Biggleswade.

Cheers

MTM

I didn't know al was coming!!

[Simon (Highwayman)]

I need to check dates. Maybe last weekend in Jan or early Feb so everyone can get over Christmas

[Will]

I'm up for it too. Anytime.

Did I just say that? Oh dear.

You going via South Wales? (Only kidding...)

[M.T.]

Phnark! Sadly not.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Will might be able to help there.

[Sam]

S'okay. I was teasing. If I can make it, I'm already looking forward to the train journey - been a while since I took a long trip by rail.

[Jud]

I quite fancy a train journey but it's £170!!

Hussy.

[Jud]

Oh found return tickets for £142, bargain.

[Patti (baconater)]

Jud (Disney Diva) wrote: "I quite fancy a train journey but it's £170!!"

That's cheap at half the price!

Ermmmm..

A flight a bit more though...I think.

I should check.

[Patti (baconater)]

£450.

Eep.

I might get it for £104 but that's a six hour trip and apparently I'm expected to sleep on the station platform at Lancaster on the way home.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Interesting, I could get from NB to Biggleswade and back for £70ish by train in January and I must be further away than you Jim. It's the number of changes I suppose. Six and a half hours each way though...

How could you pass up the adventure, Jim?

[Will]

I'll be in the Guildhall in Bedford on 9 & 10 November, by the way.

For the Festival of Romance.

I'm researching chat up lines. So far the best is from Mike Harding: You don't sweat much for a fat lass, do yer?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

So your going to be collecting slaps then are you?

[Patti (baconater)]

Simon can help you with the chat up lines.

He's smoooooth.

[M.T.]

Old fashioned.....

This arm is leaving in 5 minutes. I want you to be on it.

You really need to be able to roll up your sleeves and produce a bicep like the Hulk's for it to work.

[Will]

I have a bicep like The Hulk's!

Sadly it's one of the small plastic Hulk's, and my arm is in a 1:1 ratio.

Did I say they were for me? I only said I was collecting them.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Did you know that merlot melts muscles Will?

[Will]

Great! The last lot I cooked were a bit tough. next time I'll add some merlot.

In my youth I slept in bus shelters and railway stations and did such like adventurous things.
A little older I feel ready for newer fields of adventure....
I've often felt that someone ought to pay me vast sums of money for my writing just so as I can prove that it wouldn't spoil me

The follow up to that line is "Make your mind up, it's either you or a tattoo"
