Steamer..about the early night.. I guess there's only so much you can take of the coupe folks! Best in small dosages.. Especially when you get members that churn out puns after puns

Edinburgh, FaceTime sounds like a brilliant idea! I could even get some of the coupe guys here to join this video conferencing meet

...but I thought FaceTime only works on wifi?

Rob may have wifi at the restaurant

I don't think he does, will have to check, although I'm sure somewhere around Rob's place will have free wifi

A tonne of puns mate!!!!!!

Been in touch with Rob who's not been too well recently but he reckons if we take 5 outside in the carpark of the County Hotel next door we'll get wifi - someone'll have to bring down the gazebo so we can all shelter from the blizzard, oh and a ruddy great light so Kelv can see who the heck he's jealous at


But more sensible would be to just go to the bar afterwards in the County as we're staying there and call him over a pint
[idea courtesy Rob40....now I suppose he'll want a tip ]

Can we do this early in the evening, before I have too much to drink and need propping up?

Rob sells Peroni on draught by the way

Don't see why not, let's meet in the County bar 10 mins or so before kickoff....what time are we due at Rob's kitchen?

Will probably eat at Rob's around 8/8.30.

Last year, Matt and I popped to Rob's shortly after we arrived at about 5pm, for a couple of drinks We then met up with everyone else at about 7pm at the Ibis

Robs, The County and the Ibis are all within a few yards of each other, so easy enough to meet up at any of those

I'm happy to go with the flow - the Ibis seems to have wifi as well. Seems like most folk are booked there - me, I like my breakfast


[Edit] There could be an issue here, Malaysia is around 8 hours ahead and I don't think Kelv would appreciate a 4 am call. Maybe he'll come up with an answer to that one, just sent a pm.

The Ibis doesn't have much of a bar though, the County would be better I think for meeting up for a pre-meal drink.

The County it is then

Ok

What is this guy Kelv like, he says he would actually get up at 4 am to speak to us

Don't know about anyone else but I would feel a heel doing that [ie 8 pm our time] and would go for a later hit, say 11 pm....

I think Kelv knows that people like me, cowboy and sparkyman aren't really in good enough states to be able to talk properly at 11pm

What difference does it make - nobody can understand a word Baz says at the best of times anyway..............

Ill be very sober and clear minded at around 11pm I will talk to Kelv!!!!!!!
Re Baz,thank God El Diablo is there to translate

That's a reasonable compromise, 7 am Kelv's time

Right T, you and cowman and sparkyboy have a gauntlet thrown down

Thanks Edinburgh!! As some may remember from last year I was the soberist and most sensible person there!!!

Were you?

You mean you have no recollection T? Tsk..

I've never been able to recall Steamer being the most sensible, at any meet, even when sober

Double trouble huh?

At least it makes all the effort I put in persuading Mrs Ed to come with me well worth it

How very dare you madam!!!!!!!!!!
I am a pillar of the community !!!!

If this situation begins to get out of hand I can see the local PC Ironsides wheeling by brandishing the keys to the clink





Hm, he's probably already involved in hacking into our phones and greasing up his SLR....

Am I the only one that doesnt have a Scooby what you are on about man????????
Whos got a Merc?

Lol, what's the Merc got to do with it?

Is it the part about local constabulary you are failing to grasp?

Here have one of these

You said someone would grease up the SLR!!!Isnt that a Merc?

No you **** Single Lens Reflex !

Thank [censored]!!!! It wasnt the Self Loading Rifle getting greased up!!
Whats wrong with [censored]??? lol

Now that we have dealt with the issue of the Sexy Little Raver, assuming there are no other questions, you do of course appreciate that most of these posts are entirely the fault of Kelv27 who has chosen not to attend on this occasion

How many folk are arriving en coupe? I suppose Baz will brave the elements to prove his is 150k+ also that there is really no strange appendage bolted on above the dashboard. Think Ross is doing trains, are you joining them Steamer? T is driving, that'll be two sprintys....

imagine having a coupe hologram as a backdrop in Rob's pad! Someone on here must know about them, sort of thing that Barnacle probably devises in his spare time....

Im undecided about travel,weather last year was icy. Think Sparky was going down on the train with Janice

I'm driving but not in the coupe. It's still brokeded.
