After all that, it looks like Im not going to cope, Im afraid. Have fun, though, and Ill try to make it to the next gathering (possibly even with some semblance of a robot to justify my existence).
Oh, and good luck with the world champs!

Not alot Andrew, it was Karoline, Mike Lambert and myself with two children. Just general chit chat, and a pleasant evening had by all.
Given how little relaxation time I have at the moment, that sounds like a nice evening. Oh well. Glad it was enjoyed by the people who *could* make it, and sorry to be antisocial.
Next time, Gadget, next time.
(And I must get a copy of your Robots Revenge
tape, too).

With only 3 events this month with little indication of any SE region people going, holidays are mostly done and dusted, kids back to school.....how about getting together for a social sometime this month?
Any ideas for a different location?
With only 3 events this month lol! Only 18 months ago 3 events in one month would have been seen as rediculous. Oh well, how times have changed. Id like to come but Im one of those people who have to go back to school :-) maybe this friday or saturday I might be able to do.
Ive just got back from surgery (which is why Ive not been ranting about things - miss me?) so Im afraid Im in non-driving mode again. Basically that means that somewhere accessible by train in the London/Reading direction is about the best I can do for a couple of weeks - after which Ill be fully sociable again.
Having missed the last one, itd be nice to socialize.

Cmon Jon - put this thing together!
stop press!! How does the weekend either 2/3rd, 9th or 16/17 October grab everyone?
Any weekend preferences of this lot?
Jon.
Either or all it doesnt matter to me. Hopefully David is OK to allow me to go out depending on when hes had his op. I shall know for definate on Thursday.
Hang on guys,
2/3rd is RR winter tour Edinburgh.
16/17th is RR winter tour worcester.
The 9th may be OK though.
I may have to defect to the south.... things are quiet over in the east. Think Andy M is on holiday at the moment so if theres room for one more ?
Ed

you never know we may even attend a social its about time i left the confinds of the workshop :). wheres the next one planed on being
Ed, drinking is involved.
Mikey
Drinking, fighting in the street, vindaloo, more fighting, throwing up, more drinking, and being thrown in a cell until morning.......and thats just Jenny and I :proud:
Still wanna come?
The 9th is fine by me, where and what time is the next question.
FWIW (if Ive not yet been excommunicated for not yet having built anything; components... I have components... and an overdraft...) Im able to drive again, so Im no longer begging accessible locations.
AFAIK, the 9th is good for me.

9th is fine by me whatever happens with David as its his Dads turn to look after the little b****r (were waiting while his infection clears up before seeing the consultant paediatrician and hes driving both me and his Dad absolutely barmy) :angry:
Itll be so nice to spend some time away from it all
Looks like the 9th is currently favourite then. (Not too good for me, but still!!)
Will suss out a location, and let you orribule lot know!!
TTFN
Jon.
Okey dokey, its the 9th (next Sat), its at 5pm and its in the Castle Lake Inn, which is just off junction4 of the M20. Ill get you a postcode so you can all see where it is.
TTFN
Jon
Castle Lake, Leybourne- postcode ME19 5TR

Jon.
This ones comparitively on our doorstep compared to the previous venues so the members of Team Weird Alice will be along this one. Since this will be our first social, what usually happens? Is it eat, drink and be merry?
Ian
That just about it. Any talk about Jenny and I getting arrested after 10 pints of lager, curry and a streetfight are wildly exagerrated.
I wust fix wy keyboard! :wink:
No it isnt Karoline!!... I was there... I saw it all!!
(If you remember, I was the one who got you both a lawyer!!) :wink:
But you dont know the whole story. It was all Tanjas fault, lager, curry threats of taking everyone on. Jenny and I are misunderstood, we only tried to keep the peace.......honest Guv :)
Hi all, nice to see the date and time, but I dont finish work till 7pm. If Im lucky I might be able to get there for 7.30. If not then Ill have to miss this one. :sad: 5pm is just too early for me.
Jenny, the socials gonna be all evening long- you know what a boozey bunch we associate with!! LOL! See ya there, I hope!!
TTFN
Jon.
Boozey bunch eh? And Bryony is the main culprit.
Ha! Why not implicate everyone else to hide my own debauched behaviour.
Im actually a good girl really :)
Would liked to have attended this one as its quite close but got to hit the decorating big this weekend (wife wont be happy otherwise!). Will chat to rest of Major Tom Team tonight to see if they could go.
Nevermind. Next time hopefully.
Glen
Hey Karoline, Bryonys a heavy drinker!!! LOL! Wont share either!!
Glen, were only 10 mins down the road from you! Cmon, you know you want to!!
TTFN
Jon.
Wont share? LOL
Your absolutely right Jon. I want to!! Sounds like a good night.
Needs must im afraid.
Hopefully Henry and Scott will be able to make it.
Glen
Nice evening and plenty of new faces to meet, although a public naming and shaming is in order for Mike as hes back on the weed.
My eyes are still stinging from it :sad:
A nice drink and chat with friends was had. A thourably enjoyable night.
Yes, I admit it, I am back on the weed. A sane Mike was to be found. I couldnt hack the insane Mike. I was bouncing off the walls.
Mike.
PS, tis not the smoke that made your eyes sting but the fingers that I poked them with.
Hows the head Mike? Theres now a dent in Tanjas ruler!!! :mrgreen:
But I digress, it was a great night and very relaxing. I couldnt get Tanja up this morning and we had to be out of the house by 9.30am. I finally woke her up at 8.45am, then we had to rush.
Eyes stinging, clothes stinking, and I have a smokers cough now. Makes me wonder which one of us was actually smoking because it feels like I got through about 20 :sad:
Karoline - being an anti-smoking fascist git because shes an ex smoker
See that Ed didnt turn up on the night. Did stories of Jenny and my exploits on the wrong side of the law prove too much?
Whens the next meet?
Mikey
Yeah! Ill bring my 12 steel rule this time for the special Thwack Mike on the Head theme night.
How about the weekend that Hull was supposed to be on. We all have that free now :)
