Who's going?

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

You're :batman: :D

And no - going to a "Watch the American Election " party.

Not sure I can quite see the point of watching votes being counted - sounds a bit like sitting through the entire Football results.

Obama 1 - Mcain 0 and repeat for several hours with variation & added "What do we think they voted in Denver" pointless pontification. :confused:

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

Ohh. Envious. NOT.

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

Room full of journos too.

On the bright side Bourbon's American...

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

yup, I'll most probably be there.

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

I really want to watch the election, but the way I figure it is that the interesting stuff is surely only going to happen at about past midnight for us isn't it? They are 8 hours behind, and also ened all day to vote before counting, then the results trickle in.

Seein as the weather is nice tomorrow, I will probably ride down, then come back and wathc the election afterwards. Andy, you joining me and Phill?

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

I'd like to as I want to test my new lights, but I failed to put my bike back together over the weekend. If I can get it done by candlelight tonight then I'll be up for it. If not i'll have to go down in the car. I'll let you know tomorrow.

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

I'm a no. Surprise!

First polls close at 11pm UTC so there won't be any results whatsoever before then. Unless it's a landslide, the result won't be called before California, Washington and Oregon close at 4am UTC (73 electoral votes in total).

That's going to be one long party. Personally, I'll settle for checking the results when I get up around 7.

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

Yeah, so basically a load of guff ALL night long, with excitement early the next morning.

Andy, if you go in the car, gimme a lift! Then I can drink! And Phill! hahaha

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

Weather is good for tomorrow is it? I could well have a (not such) surprise pillion.

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

Are you expecting many Hobbits to turn up?

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

I'm sure there is humour in there somewhere.

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

I wouldn't use the term 'good' as its grey and a bit drizzly but more importantly its no lower than 9°C, so no ice and snow!

Look forward to the surprise pillion then......and some hobbits?!? :confused:

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

Cool, I hope the pillion is who I think it might be! I thought the weather was clear and 9 degrees even. Should be fine. Especially if I am in Andy's car :lol:

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

Well you might very well be in luck cos its drizzling and I'm getting wet. Also I've lost a bracket that I need and the airbox is a right fiddle to get on in the dark. I'm missing riding my bike! :( Last time I rode it, it was summer! :lol:

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

Blimey that must have been a very very long time ago. Like it's been years since we had anything you could call a Summer.

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

Well that warm, sunny, sunday in Brighton seemed a bit like summer.

I failed to get my bike back together so I'm coming down the 'horse' using diesel power.

Mr. Hog, Mr. But, fancy a lift?

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

effing A! Biking is fun, but getting a chauffeur driven BMW lift and several pints of London Pride is funner :lol:

My house? When? You know where it is?

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

Your house, 6.30-7 (or however long it will be to get to yours from work during rush hour).

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

perfect

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

I'm about to head up North to pick up my surprise pillion. I'll see you lot later.

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

Nice to see you all.

Debs - was great having you with us and definately feel free to come anytime you want. Sorry if we bored you with bike talk etc!

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

As Jon said, nice to see you at the meet Debs. Hope you got back OK on the back of Si.

She got back fine. Would you expect anything else? Enjoyed the meet tonight.

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

Indeed...

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

Cheers for a nice evening ladies and gents. Nice to meet you again Debs.

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

Cheers dudes for a most enjoyable evening! Nice to meet you, Debs.

Bad boy brad is very amusing..... I have the same women problem too, they're always using my razor, or eating my chocolate, or burning out my rear tyre!

Re: The Shire meet. 04/11/08
 

I had a good time! Of course Debs is allowed to many more meets, it was great to see her. I love Bad Boy Brad :lol:
