WYIOC Xmas Dooooooooooooooooo
 

With Christmas just around the corner, let's sort out our plans for rounding up a fun-filled and eventful year. Either instead of, or as well as our December meet, it has been suggested that we have a bit of a p!ss up, without cars :eek: with partners :( and involving drinking :luxhello: dancing and eating. The only suggestion we currently have is.....
As for dates, if we are to do a thursday then the 18th seems favourable, as the 23rd may be a little too close to the chaos that is Xmas, but please discuss. We have the karting with the WR1 guys on sat 16th, so we could make a weekend of it and do the friday 17th (busy town centre), or sunday 19th (quiet town centre) :confused:

Open to the floor :D

Definitely needs to be a car-free event, Dave. Anything else would be irresponsible. Or was it boring.... I forget which....

Thursday is the 16th mate, but my view is that, if babysitters etc can be organised, we are better going for the weekend slot.

Friday 17th would be good, but will there be 'legacy' issues (no pun intended) in terms of hangovers for the 18th karting challenge?

Sunday 19th sounds OK too, but it depends how many want a thick head for the Monday morning? Doesn't affect you Dave, 'cos you don't have a proper job anyway...:D Incidentally, how would you manage for the weekend stuff? Are you not working that weekend mate?

Town centre would give us more options for getting pi$$ed and so on, as well as the chance to cram in a curry or whatever....:p

Whole weekend already booked off :D Factory closed Xmas W/E, and 2 days of the New Year W/E :cool: Plus I have another W/E holiday to play with, and the chance of some O/T to get double time and a few lieu days ;)

Should be able to put your feet up 'till Easter then Dave...:D

Get that off too :D

You'll be taking Chinese New Year next.....:D

16th for me & Katrina :D

Any suggestions on the;

1. Meeting place for pre-meal drinks?
2. Eating place for some food and in-meal drinks?
3. Post meal drinking place?
4. Dancing place that can supply some drinks?
5. Taxi rank and/or way home from Police station?

:D

I'm easy....

I mean, not difficult....

Or rather, open to offers....

Or was it 'available'....?

Anyway, what I meant to say was 'any eve will suit me fine' (in my very hectic social schedule). :D

Boing.. (cue Andy.. :D)

HB will probably go home on the pushbike after imbibing severeal quantities of the falling over juice.

Nah mate... We're all doin' our own thing........ Me? I'm configuring my Ipaq for data retrieval while in Norway next week....:(:D:D:D

global posting now - will we ever get a word in edgeways? :p ;) :D

Yeah - random postings from Oslo..... :Whatever_ :D

watch out for the yellow snow :eek: it might not be how they keep the Stella chilled over there ;) :D

At £7 a pint, there's no way they'd keep it outside mate.... Out there, the price of beer is the only reason they bother to lock their houses.... :eek:

Don't mention that too much on an open BBS, it might give bLIAR ideas ;):D

How's Norway :confused: Much snow :D

Not there yet mate.... Fly out tomorrow eve.... Will report on prevailing conditions in due course.....:D

Don't tell the Trading Post - it's already £2.60-odd for a pint of Stella :eek: :(

That's 20p up on the local which isn't cheap... :(

Have fun in the white stuff and don't prang the Volvo ;)

Cool. Oslo hotel room. Bluetooth phone and Ipaq...

flash person...

how much a minute from there?

tomtom any use in Norway? ;) :D at least you should be able to give us a gps position of your location... :)

Now on Wireless LAN from hotel room. Still no bl**dy snow in Oslo... 30 NOK for half an hour. Much faster than Bluetooth... :D

PM sent to those who've expressed interest in this event.

And a quick reply, to boot....:D:D:D

Who's boot :confused:

At least people seem to be getting my PM's today. Al apparantly got one from me today which I sent on the 8th :eek:

Ah, the speed of t'Internet, Dave.....:)

Maybe you're being monitored by the Ukranian secret service... Just don't drink the soup on Christmas Day..... :eek:
