Ooh, you're only 600 miles away now - we're practically LIVING together! Have a great time at the piss-up, or else x </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=5191&page=2#post-15736 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 08:52:39 +0000 rickwestwell 15736@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>As Snoopy put it, the beagle has landed! Lovely to be back, and going from the Aussie winter to yours makes adjusting so easy.</p> <p>Flight was a lot easier than it should have been with two four-year-old boys and a lovely wife to keep in line, thank god for on-demand TV to plug them in to.</p> <p>Sitting in a very English kitchen looking out over the South Downs, wondering if 9:45 a.m. is a good time to have a beer and go to bed, but the urge to go out and buy some marmite and the Guardian will probably win.</p> <p>Thanks to Des and Frodo for doing all the pub arranging while I was too busy doing last-minute everything to tend to this thread. And by the look of it, thanks to Plucky for giving us something to talk about, should the expected flow of sparkling banter ever dry up.</p> <p>As for Mary's very resonable question about what time are we actually meeting, I'll be going up to London earlier in the day to look around my old haunts, sigh and spend lots of money in Foyles, so I'm up for as early as anyone wants. Plus I'll probably have to pour myself on the last Eastbourne train. When I worked in't smoke, the only way to get a table in these pubs was to head there immediately after work, whether you wanted to or not, so I'll drag myself out of the bookshop at 5 and wander up there. </p> <p>So anyone who gets to the Cheese by 5:30 will probably find me already there, nursing a small beer and pacing myself frantically. If anyone's around Charing Cross Road earlier and wants to join me for a cup of tea and a bun, I'd be delighted.</p> <p>Come along, biscuits one and all! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=5191&page=2#post-15675 Sat, 05 Jun 2010 19:32:18 +0000 Mary Evans 15675@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>One other thing - what time are we meeting? Frodo - you are doing an excellent job in the driver's seat so you call it, but do allow enough time for pregnant women to get home at a respectable hour, Scroat to get a round in and Surrey swingers to be anally violated, there's a good chap. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=5191&page=2#post-15066 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 16:32:51 +0000 PluckyMunky 15066@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I heard that 'bum-rape', as you delicately put it, was the main point of the evening, Mr J. I may be wrong, though...I admit, I have been wrong in the past...Just wear a stout pair of trousers and a cork, perhaps. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=5191&page=2#post-15065 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 16:23:31 +0000 AdrianJ 15065@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Now, normally I'd be extremely wary of meeting up with people who I don't really know that well, especially those who my only previous contact with had been over the internet. However, assuming that NB is not just an elaborate ploy, hatched purely in order to groom me (oh, and as the proposed venue is sort of on my way home), on this occasion I might just throw caution to the wind and make an appearance – just so long as you all promise not to bum-rape me?</p> <p>I suspect that I've actually been to Ye Old Cheshire Cheese before? The fact that I'm not entirely sure of this fact suggests that, if I have, then it must have been a really good night. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=5191&page=2#post-15023 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 13:16:36 +0000 Mary Evans 15023@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Huzzah! Looking forward to it immensely. That being, I am immense and I am looking forward to it. And if anyone tweaks my nipples, they'll get an unwelcome (if thoroughly nutritious and an excellent start to life) riposte, so I'll thank you to keep your hands to yourselves. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=5191&page=2#post-14961 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 07:51:11 +0000 jp1885 14961@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Stop it!
