I am giving this serious thought...

Basil · « **Reply #76 on:** 03 July, 2008, 04:31:34 pm »

I can't make it for 6, Sam and I think Mr. Bodger suggested he couldn't also.

Can we make it 7?

Si · « **Reply #77 on:** 03 July, 2008, 04:59:59 pm »

7 would be good for me too!

Go on Zoiders. You know you want to.
It would be nice to meet you too.

Jon P · « **Reply #79 on:** 03 July, 2008, 06:06:48 pm »

7 is the earliest for me too. Will PM Basil my mobile later.

Basil · « **Reply #80 on:** 03 July, 2008, 08:31:55 pm »

Ooh, he did too.
Wot a slapper. :-o

Blade · « **Reply #81 on:** 03 July, 2008, 08:53:08 pm »

7 is fine for me

Will have to slope off at around 10.00 p.m. though, so I can catch the 10.18 p.m. train back to Wolverhampton.

gordon taylor · « **Reply #82 on:** 03 July, 2008, 08:59:33 pm »

I've been persuaded to come by Mr Z. See you all at the Floozy.

Basil · « **Reply #83 on:** 03 July, 2008, 10:57:52 pm »

I've just realised.

1st Friday of the month - It's the Brum CM.
We'll give 'em a wave, eh?

Valiant · « **Reply #84 on:** 04 July, 2008, 12:17:57 am »

7 is good for me too. The squids can't make it but send their love.

Gordy it'll be great to see you, and Zoiders do come!

Where does Brum CM start from and what time? I might go eye up the fixie chicks and sound systems

From St Pillips Square. Somewhere on the grass around the cathederal. Just walk a few hundred meters along Colmore Row from the floozy.
At about 6:30 I think.

I’ll thank you not to slander my new WNBRogram business before it’s even got out of the saddle.

I got yours so I think we have now idiot-proofed the rendesvouz, if anything I should be early (READ – the train will be 30 mins late). Or maybe I’ll amuse myself by jonining CM for 15 mins. If anyone’s coming by car it would be great if I could leave my folder in the boot, I have a bag for it.

Be careful, as we'll outnumber them we don't want to scare em

Zoidburg · « **Reply #88 on:** 04 July, 2008, 11:01:21 am »

A quick question, a bit silly I know but one I find wirth asking

What standard of dress will be required for the drinking holes we will be frequenting? I am not hugely keen on the shirt and shoes malarky...

Last time I went into town on a Friday night the standard dress code seemed to be heels so high that one can't walk properly on them, a skirt so short that it was almost a belt and a top so low cut that it left nothing to the imagination. This was accessorised later in the evening with spilt cocktails, kebab source and vomit. I'm sure that there were some men around too but I can't say that I noticed what they were wearing.

I was planning on jeans, trainers, T shirt type thing.....unless we are intending to go somewhere posh?

gordon taylor · « **Reply #90 on:** 04 July, 2008, 12:06:42 pm »

Jeans.

Valiant · « **Reply #91 on:** 04 July, 2008, 01:44:27 pm »

Lets keep it casual

an informal get together in it.

Si · « **Reply #92 on:** 04 July, 2008, 02:48:48 pm »

bugger-bugger-bugger...something's come up so not sure if I can make it now

If I'm not there on time then assume I'm not going to be there and go on without me - sorry.

Valiant · « **Reply #93 on:** 04 July, 2008, 04:20:36 pm »

That's a shame

I hope you are able to make it though!

Bugger,
I wonder if it is too late to get that suit back to Dormy Dress Hire?

gordon taylor · « **Reply #95 on:** 05 July, 2008, 01:33:19 am »

Thank you all, that was a good night out.

I've only just got home because my back light kept falling off.

Valiant · « **Reply #96 on:** 05 July, 2008, 03:00:08 am »

Thankyou all for coming down

It was a great evening and enjoyed myself muchly

Jon P · « **Reply #97 on:** 05 July, 2008, 09:46:33 am »

Yes, a good night out. Met Basil W on the train in from Redditch, he had to pop off to the office briefly so went on to the floozy where gordy, blade, Zoiders et gal (sorry, forgotten the name but she was lovely) were already there. Then Sam and John (Basil) turned up, 7 in all.

Negotiated the ringroad system to get to the Shakespeare, one of the 3 city centre pubs I know (Basil knows even fewer having worked there for 30 years) where we got a table outside for a couple of pints, then off to the Baraji for a superior curry, where we went last time. Some interesting chat about gordy's touring and blade's audax, broke up 10:30 to 11 when people had to get trains back.

Have PMed you about the concert tonight Sam, hope to see you again before you go.

Oh, and Bodger turned into Dodger and couldn't make it in the end - and found out that that's really Si Davies anyway! Was hoping to chat about growing veg (ah yes, you were talking about an allotment on a ride once Si).

Basil · « **Reply #98 on:** 05 July, 2008, 12:17:11 pm »

Hi peeps.
Firstly, please let me apologise for not feeling particularly "on form" last night.
Things are a bit stressful in the worlds of work and health atm and sometimes it gets a bit on top of me.
Anyway, great to meet you all at last (and again).
Mobile phone pics, so a bit crap.

Mr Thin being entertained by Gordy and Zoiders.

Blade and some bloke from Laarndon

Some thing wrong here. Zoidburg's friend (Road Runner) seems to have two eyes.

Si · « **Reply #99 on:** 06 July, 2008, 12:00:30 pm »

Sorry I missed you guys - ended up having to stay in and make arangements for an event that never happened in the end

Andended up having the worst curry I've ever tasted $:-\$ Wish I'd made it to the meet up. Oh well, catch some of you at thefunny bike ride I hope!
