Really looking forward to tomorrows bash, I'll be there for just after 1pm

Since I don't know what people look like....

I will mostly be wearing a light green T-shirt with 'Dirty Vegas' written in blue, sideways.


It seemed to work last time.

Cheers

Well, I know a few of the people going. (Although I know two less now that both AerBabe and eveepee have dropped out - we'll miss you, girls ) If anyone's worried about meeting up with us, drop me an e-mail and I'll reply with my mobile number so you can call me when you arrive.

Otherwise, I'll see you when you get there!

Hope I can spot you - this will be my 1st bash.

I am looking at getting there for about 1PM. Bound to be late though, training it from Brighton..

I will have my blue denim shirt on, it has a yellow logo thingy above the breast pocket with a pprune t-shirt on underneath. The t-shirt is a bit small for me so i will look fatter. Anyone gets stuck/lost etc call 07958 006373.

As has been said before - my username is a bit out of date - It was suggested I should be Bloke FormerlyKnownAsBlokeInAnArcher...

Maybe if I buy BRL a pint or three he can work his spell to get my name changed to something more sensible.

Well, that one couldn't be described as peaceful.

I'm guessing the deer were released in the end, but why? :-)

Good bash chaps, thanks for turning up. Much drinking, good laugh, barred from pubs, lots of blagging before we got 'moved on' (I don't go to Teneriffe, I go to Dubai) to the next pub, that was my mate Dave on the phone by the way (he called me this morning to see what was going on!!) Thanks to Paulo and FFF for the aerobatics lesson in the last pub, still can't see what rudder has to do with it.
Good luck to Seat of my pants, his first lesson today, enjoy it

Next........

We'll have to go back to the Founders for the next bash - see if they remember us! Don't think they will ever forget a very angry Grim Reaper, did they have any idea how much danger they were in?

Unhappy

Oops!

Didn't get home in one piece I'm afraid. My undercarriage seemed to give way at some point and me brother had to come and rescue me (minus some teeth...)

Sorry about this afternoon - am nursing broken bits.

Superb bash, and I think we can claim to be the first bash to have been thrown out of a pub, although some of those Scottish bashes get pretty loud, so I'm not sure...

Seems like most of us got home in piece at least! Wish someone had thought to bring a camera though... Maybe the staff at Founders Arms would have like to have their picture taken?

PS - Wonder how that couple got on with their blind date?

Hmm. Ithink I got home OK, but I don't really remember - I seemed to be India Mike most of the way, relying soley on my lager DI.

Great afternoon though - I got loads of advice on ATPLs (thanks FFF & Ian), learned that Mr. Reaper is not to be messed with, got to see BRL's tattoo, and got chucked out of a pub for the 1st time in my life.

I really must get out more.

what an afternoon!

It was great to meet all of you - did you carry on with the shots after I left?

All I remember is getting back to the girlfriends flat, having blazing row about something (not sure) and getting chucked out again...

oops

looks like flowers on Monday
