Hey, I hope that's not a dig at the Ape about the tank stories, I'm looking forward to some more! I should be there unless something major happens.

Nick4 is now officially Nick5

Haha Nick 5 indeed! Come on people, its the regular meet! REGULAR! I.e. everyone should always be there!

stevehaskew 29-10-07 03:31 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
And the weather is supposed to be good, so there aren't so many excuses. Unless you're scared of the dark...

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
I'll be there..... don't know what I'll be eating though

I agree completely...remind me, where were you last time :confused:

stevehaskew 29-10-07 04:37 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
hehe, good comeback. But I think he can relatively fairly blame Philbut for that. How many people are going to be there for food? And if so, what sort of time?

KnightRider 29-10-07 04:42 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
Food - Yum...count me in. Wont be there till 7-7.30 though.

Jon

PS - dont remind Warthog that I owe him a meal, cause he might actually show up if he realises!

stevehaskew 29-10-07 04:48 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
I'll be there at 7ish for food, or 7:30ish if nobody else is eating.

ogden 29-10-07 05:19 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
I won't be there before 8.30, need to keep an eye on an ebay auction and cancel fraudulent bids as and when they appear. *grumble*grumble*

...Unless the Shire Horse has free Wi-fi...

scifibloke 29-10-07 07:13 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
I'm attempting to cojole a couple of work mates who have just aquired SV's to come along... we'll see...

true. Nick is infact afraid of the dark, so he wanted me to be there in the car, just incase a Goblin or other creature of the night attacked him.

philbut 30-10-07 08:33 AM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
and my SV is filthy from sunday, so I really do have no excuse, unless of course my other half throws a spanner in the works.

I need to eat at home cos Kate bought food, so Jon's wallet is safe this time! Phil, er come round to mine at about 6:30 maybe? I can't beleive it is going to be dark so early now, 4:30pm or something. I am so hungeover I am rambling. No drinking for me!

ASM - I think you ticked the wrong box. This survey says that you are coming tonight?

Well in fairness there was no "maybe...depends on the direction the winds blowing" option. Warthog keeps pestering me which covers the duress part.

I'm probably going to come.....

I also note the ape hasn't RSVP'd....which means its safe to come out and play.

So...What time are people turning up and how long do we stay for?

Stig 30-10-07 01:38 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
I shall be there. Even though I have been quite ill of late. So ASM, you still attending? :wink: Oh and I'll be there around 6ish. (possibly)

Ooh an early bird. I've got to hitch a lift, but i may get there some time between 6-6:30.

Discalimer- times are subject to change without notice. :p

KnightRider 30-10-07 02:34 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
Looks like we should have a good turn out. Can we nab the large table at the back like we did last month? The table that we had 2 weeks ago was a bit of a squeez.

ASM-Forever 30-10-07 03:49 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
Firstly....Ape who is the michelin man in your avatar? I suggest you get with the times and change to a decent one, as modelled by Jon.

Secondly is anyone else going to be there at 6:30(ish) or will it just be me and the ape?

Simon i also suggest you wear a yellow carnation in your left lapel, so i know who you are. I plan to prop up the bar, nursing a pint whilst looking lost, until someone approaches me. :)

philbut 30-10-07 04:12 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
I guess me and warthog will be over about 7:15ish as he is gonna eat first.

see you about 6:30 at your place then man.

That gives me 45 minutes alone with the ape....i better cook up some small talk/witty banter then. Or if rumours are to be believed, 0.2 of a tank story. ;)

Warthog 30-10-07 05:16 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
I have my T34 t-shirt on ready for hte Ape! Yeah as Phil says, we will be there a touch later. I have been asleep all afternoon to get rid of my hangover, so hopefully it will all be ok.

Firstly, I am not a sheep. My avatar (whatever it may be) will be one of my choosing. So there.:smt110

Also, I am now tied up at work for longer than I expected, so wont be arriving until later. Time to be confirmed. So we can now both avoid that awkward small talk period until the others arrive. :)

Damn...i had reams of anecdotes prepared. :cool:

Meh i'll get there around 7 then.

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
7.30ish for me now. It seems ebay don't adjust auction durations for daylight savings changes, so I'm clear an hour earlier than expected.

It's amazing how much people will bid for a crap car!

Decent meet. Nice to meet a few new(to me) people, sosha and ogden.

If the ape had overcome his shyness, we might have heard some 'tank tales'.....oh well Skittles had to suffice. :)

BTW Jon, i had a quick look at the CBR....looks nice!

stevehaskew 30-10-07 11:18 PM

Good to see you all again. Hope everyone's home safe and you Oxford guys didn't get too chilly!

scifibloke 30-10-07 11:25 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
Yes, it was good...

Although I was slightly paranoid of passing unmarked plods on the way back! ;)

KnightRider 30-10-07 11:34 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
Good meet indeed. Slightly slippery on the way home though. Rear wheel skidded as I sped away from the Shire...gave me a bit of a scare!

scifibloke 30-10-07 11:48 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
?As you were leaving across that little road that crosses the exit?

I'd wondered if you had!

I was more concerned by the fact my glasses had misted up and couldn't see where I was going... :shaking:

KnightRider 30-10-07 11:53 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
Thats the one! Hence my apprehension going round the roundabout!

scifibloke 30-10-07 11:56 PM

Re: Tuesday 30th Oct - Shire Horse (reprise)
 
Yeah, I wondered about that too...

... I just figured your tyres were cold and didn't want to go sideways.

Didn't stop you opening up down the 404 mind!
