The Day Before

[andyf]

Zak, do I still have some kind of shotgun claim over kipping at your place before we set off on the 22nd ?

[Pingman]

i think we need to reiterate whats happening for the peopel getting a train, what times the train and where we meeting :D

Any one fancy a pre train beer if its an evening/afternoon train ?

[Zakalwe]

Andy, yes all welcome at my place for the night before. I've a total of 5 spare sleeping spaces (single-bed couch, double bed couch and 2 camp beds), although with 5 people there will be a lack of bedding. 1 person (driving) can have the use of my secure undergroung parking space for the week as well (if they want).

Train leaves at 16:40 Check in at 16:00 (for safety). Beers/food/bowling the night before round my way...

[andyf]

Shotgun the car park space.

[Aardvark]

I'm guessing there's nowhere else handy to leave a car then...

Anyone living not in the absolute ARSE centre of London able to give my car a home for a week? :)

[Mingtea]

is all crashing space at your place taken?

If there is any chancei could grab that single bed and join you lot for bowling, beer and food etc.

how far are you from the station and what is the closest station?

[Zakalwe]

London Bridge -> Canada water on the Jubilee line then a 10 minute walk.

Current sleepers are Andy and Ping I think, leaves 3 spaces Ming. 2 if Aard wants to stay. There is plenty of parking on the street nearby, not sure I'd recommend it for a week though. There are some nice cars that seem to remain unmolested week after week so maybe it's not an issue.

[andyf]

I wanted to go over the finer points about travel and timings, but seeing as my car just finished at the garage, I'm going to go spend £20 in petrol setting it up on the TT Circuit :D:D Hope I don't crash

[Pingman]

any chance you can PM me your post code and the bank details again for my final payment.

need acc no, acc name, sort code and company you bank with :D

[Mingtea]

I think i'll take you up on that evening of total molestation and win.

[Aardvark]

Sign me up, yes!

[Zakalwe]

Ok so then sleepers are

Afty
Silk
Andy
Aard
Ming
Ping

Which is 6 people - Ryv is unknown and Baroness already lives in London. We're potentially 2 people over the limit, unless people want to get cozy on the double sofa-bed... :)

I may need to sweetly ask my sister to give someone accomo that evening... Or punt someone who lives near London back home...

[Pingman]

Ive just done a route check to your house from mine and im only actually 20 miles away from it so if need be i can drop out and just arrive in the morning or something ready for meeting up pre ski trip unless baroness has a spare space going at hers, but i think shes moved to essex again now?

[afty]

May I just say. This is getting extremely close.

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes...

could be atherlete's foot afty, id get that checked before goign skiing, a week in ski boots will do it no good!

[andyf]

Damnit its really not that far off and I'm still to confirm whether hax outfit will fit me.

[Baroness]

I am up for bowling/beer etc on the Thursday night :-) (but will get the train back home that night - no probs).

I am working on the Friday morning but have the afternoon off so will be free to meet up with anyone that wants to from about 2pm that day (work close to Waterloo).

Zak, hope you've received my £££ by now

:-)

[Pingman]

Actually if need be, i can drive to zaks on the thursday night to attend the bowling, food beer thingy, then drive back home for sleep and then get lift to zak's or what ever meeting place is the next day, supurb.

[Aardvark]

I'll be driving down on Thursday night straight from work. Whether I finish at 4:30 and thus arrive at stupid o' clock or have a half day and arrive at a sensible hour depends on whether I can get some weekend overtime in between Christmas and skiing. I'd say its 90% certain that I will, however.

[Zakalwe]

Funds gratefully received from 'Ness and Aardvark.

Also NJ's paid up.

Keep it coming all :)

[Ryvita]

Got mine yet? Not sure what I'm doing day before, but likely to be around some way or another.

Cashier waiting for the half-life to decay before she goes anywhere near it.

[Ryvita]

Hmm, odd. I'll go check the targetting computer. Mach 15 orbital re-entries don't normally take that long.

[Zakalwe]

Cash arrived from Ryvita, it was stuck in decon.

Cash also arrived from "mystery guests" BigW and Jbird...

[Ryvita]

Mind. Weight. Off.

Who are our guests then?

Ryv

P.S. Seating plan?

[Zakalwe]

Sit where you like mate!

I'll do the sleeping plan when I'm good and ready - you've just guaranteed youself a place in the 5 man room for asking... :)

[Ryvita]

Point taken. Shutting up right now sir.

[andyf]

BigW is coming on the Skitrip ?! awesome !
we can reminisce about decade old lan parties and pizza falling out of boxes.

I'm sure you have met BigW at some point? Apart from anything else, he is a founding member of the SHTP :)

[Ryvita]

I think I have, though not his gf. Any friend of yours is a friend of mine.
