Shire Horse 15/04/08 Open house.

[Stig]

This will be the first regular meet after the unfortunate circumstances of late. (not sure if that's the best way to put things) We will be doing our best to remember the best bits of Mark. Laugh and take the pee a bit. I have already been told a few stories by Mum & Dad. :wink:

So who can make it :?:

It's and open invite. (this means as a special, we'll let the GM (and others) cross on to our turf).

Vote now.

(we need to know numbers as it gets busy, we may need to book tables).

[Tara]

Yer we'll be there

[falc]

I should bloody hope so ;) after all we are the closest section that match the TV high standards if I remember Mark saying :)

[Warthog]

Definately... That means probably :-)

[DanAbnormal]

We'll get there at about 8ish. Will you guys still be there and do they still serve food then?

[Stig]

Yes and Yes. :wink:

[Tara]

we'll be there about 7ish i think

[stevehaskew]

I'll be there from 6.30 onwards, probably... If nobody else will be there that early, I'll go home first and arrive around 7.

[ogden]

7ish, depending on First Great Western.

[Stig]

7ish, depending on First Great Western.

Don't forget your flask. It's a long haul trip.

[DanAbnormal]

Don't forget your flask. It's a long haul trip.

It'll need to be a hip flask!

See you guys at 8ish then. Save me a seat, the wife can stand! ha!

[ogden]

Don't forget your flask. It's a long haul trip.

Where we're going, we don't need flasks.

[Devil Biccy]

Looking forward to my first TV meet

[Warthog]

I'll be there early I hope, this should be a good fun meet!

[Stig]

I'll be there early I hope, this should be a good fun meet!

Bag a couple of tables down at the bottom end. I think we are going to need them.

[stevehaskew]

I'll go direct from work and see if we can officially reserve them. Or we could call?

[StreetHawk]

I have to work tonight but i'll see you some of you saturday for the ride..

[Warthog]

me and phil will be there at 7:30 actually, Phil is working late and I am his wife :)

[Grinch]

I shall hope to be along to next weeks one.

[sam anon]

Hi TV lot,

I was planning on meeting you all this evening, but thought it wouldn't be the ideal time due to the unfortunate incident lately, and me only meeting Mark the once. I hope you all made the best of it, and look forward to seeing you again soon.

[Devil Biccy]

I went tonight and just wanted to say thanks to all... Good to put names to faces but I'll probably forget by the next meet.

[ogden]

I shall hope to be along to next weeks one.

You might find it a bit lonely.

We're back to fortnightly meets from now on, afaik - last week's interim was a one-off. Next one'll be the 29th.

[scifibloke]

You only think it's fortnightly cos of John, if he had to sit next to you every week he'd get skittle rage! ;)

[stevehaskew]

I blame the skittles for me riding wonky... Which has now be proven, and I'm determined to figure out why!

[monkey]

Nice to meet some of you tonight. Thanks Tony for sort of guiding me in! ;)

[falc]

me and phil will be there at 7:30 actually, Phil is working late and I am his wife :)

One to quote at a later time I think ;)

Was a good meet, good to see everyone there and looks like the furry ginger one got a new pillion buddy courtesy of Marks present :P

[Stig]

Translation = It's moist outside, I'm not coming. :lol:

[Stig]

It was nice to see the Bandit onwners club turn up again. For all of the 30 minutes. They really pushed the boat out yesterday. :lol:

I can't say as I remember seeing a single Bandit in the car park. Those guys are just hard core man.

And welcome into the group rpwoodman aka Rupert. Hope to see you there again in a couple of weeks. :thumleft:

Hey, I know I wore the T-shirt but I'm not a member anymore. I still get their crappy booklet things though. Was a great meet, apart from getting soaked. And I just want to point out (Mr Rictus) that I ride all year round. That is all. :p

[Stig]

Don't I get a welcome into the group?:rolleyes:

My bad. :oops:

Welcome into the fold. You know it makes sense. :lol:

[StreetHawk]

Translation = It's moist outside, I'm not coming. :lol:

Erm, no. Was dry where I was anyway. Unfortunatley i've had to take a second job doing some driving to put an end to being permanantly skint. Wouldn't have missed last night for such a trivial reason as posted above.

Pah, I'll start showing them up soon!

[DanAbnormal]

How's the wheelie machine? :)

[SDMF]

I've been out on it a couple of times now- first time was last sunday- which sort of scared me a bit lol. Hence one of the reasons I didn't atternd monday.
Went out yesterday, took it easy, and now feeling a lot more comfortable and confident on it. I'm just taking it out for about 15/20 miles each day getting used to.

I'm planning on making the memorial ride this sat on it- providing weathers not chucking it down.

[Warthog]

It was a great meet, nice to meet Rupert, Darren? (Teriyakimonkey) and Saeed for the first time. We certainly need an annex at the Shire Horse now, we are taking over!

[falc]

Great news SDMF, hope to see you there.

Yer I think a new wing should be built to accommodate everyone

[Sosha]

Pah - rollon the good weather and we can migrate outside.....

Flibble! Outside! smoker friendly.... :D

[sarah]

you mean you lot sit inside?!?!
wimps.

[KnightRider]

Lots of new members - and I wouldn't mind betting that we will get more as summer closes in. We are also slowely stealing GM members.

Think we ought to have some form of immigration laws in place to deal with this sudden influx. Hows this as a starter for 10:

All immigrants need to:
1 - Get lost on at least 1 TV ride out.
2 - Ride their bike to every meet irrelivent of weather etc (3 strikes and you're out).
3 - Buy every member of the original TV section at least 1 drink.
4 - Give a 1 minute speach on the virtues of sausages.
5 - Bow to the greatness that was ASM.
6 - Take the micky out of Sarah at least once;)!

[KnightRider]

It might sound like the GM, but there are subtle differences that only an expert would notice!

[KnightRider]

Sarah - what are you doing in your profile pic? Did someone drug you with laughing gas or something?

Nah, more like:

1 - Insert a reference to Skittles into every story Jon tells
2 - Never turn up to a ride-out, ever. Or the pub, for that matter.
3 - Pass an eel and vomit-scat based endurance challenge
4 - Meet a quota of leftover food stolen off other attendees' plates.
5 - Show a healthy disdain for any form of marker or mirror system
6 - Purchase walkie-talkie intercoms but never EVER use them
7 - Pay appropriate tribute to the majesty of Hammerite
8 - Crash in such a manner as to cause a serious leg injury

Far more representative!

[KnightRider]

Figures. Thought you might have been playing a game of twister with yourself ;-)
