Hi All, right time we put a mark in the ground for this one :)

Queen Eleanor pub, Northampton, which is here (http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=475700&y=257780&z=5&sv=475700,257780&st=4&ar=Y&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf&dn=748&ax=475700&ay=257780) zoom in for more detail :)

We have 2 dates, Sat 19th May or Sat 2nd June, anybody that would like to attend, can you please make a choice on the poll, we will go with the majority for this one.

We would aim for 7.30-8.00PM

Thanks all :)

Either date would be ok , could'nt we have another button for both then the "Poll controller" could toss a coin for the date if required :)

We can't change what you have voted for...Technically we can change the voting numbers by taking one off the one you voted for, and adding 1 to the one you want to change it to.

Next question I guess there will be a lot that don't know each other so how are we gonna recognise each other (serious question before I come up with any more stoopid ideas)

Folks,
I still am not likely to make it unless I get home from Wembley (FA Cup Final) at a reasonable time to MK and drive from there around 25 mins away. I was planning an evening in London with my Brother and therefore originally said I couldn't make it, but he's dithering at the mo'. As long as you are ok with a 'late arrival' from me, small possibility I will make it. If it's the pub I think it is (next to Shell garage) on A508 from J15 on the left going in towards Northampton!

Jas

Think thats the carvery you are thinking of, Queen Eleanor is off to your right as you drive along that road by a hotel, go past the shell garage and take the next exit, stay in the right lane on the slip, go all the way round (dont get back on the dual carriageway though ;)) then take the first right up the road BEFORE the garden centre, pub is right there :)

Joe T
17-05-2007, 21:24
Hmmm, tis a tricky one. Ladybird prob cant make the next one (she might be able to re-work some things to make it), you cant make the next one, but there's only three of us confirmed. Jas and mrgubby are both maybes.

Turnout in general looks better for the 2nd June too.

Dont know what to do :shrug:

I purposly stayed out of the discusion after trying to get "you lot" organised originally.

And in the next couple o' weeks we can all decide how we are going to recognise each other (or not :bang:)

It's far easier to just go with the flow rather than try to organise precision war manoeuvres :nuts:

I'll be there on the 2nd and if anyone else turns up then great and if not then...great :D

My mug is in the 'what do we all look like' thread, so you can all spend from now 'til the 2nd 'revising' :lol:

"Time" from Dark side of the moon Bloody marvelous too!

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind youNo one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.



Sorry not the music game is it? :lol:

I have been keeping one eye on this from Sweden and have just got back so will have to keep you all on tenterhooks for a little longer.

But you can bring me up to speed.

Booze up works for me but I guess there will be bar food for those that feel the need?
If we get through this without totally 'sing each other off :D then a curry / chinese night could be arranged for a later date?
Oh & I think 7:30 / 8:00pm was mentioned as a time?

Morning folks.

Yeah, I suggest a booze up but there is definitely food served so those that want it can have it!

To go along with the link above, basically you just get off the A45 from the M1 at the Queen Eleanor interchange. If coming from the M1, take he last exit (B526 to Wootton). Then take the first on the right, and its just in there!

I only live 2 mins away, but its not possible to walk it given the type of roads! So if anyone could offer me a lift that would be most appreciated!

I have PM's my mobile number to everyone (I think). I suggest we meet in the garden as that way it should be easier to find each other!

See you all later! :D

PS: if that was the date I couldn't go, what happened to the ones who said they could and then didn't???? :thinking: :D :D :D

I have been thinking about this question for a few days since you posted it. I even entered into an internal philosophical debate with myself about the relationship between time, space and a pint of beer served in pub with a 'Funky Forest' play area. :thinking:

The only conclusions I could draw were that:

a)They went into hiding rather than apologise for not attending (Those on a date and holiday excepted). A rather mundane idea I am none too happy with TBH. :|

b)Some of ladies are men and some of the men are ladies and didn't want this to be discovered. Didn't seem to bother me too much though. ;) This idea I warmed to.

Or Lastly,

c)You Ladybird, were infact not sharing the same space pubtime as everyone else and only visible to those of us with extra-dimensional sight. In this alternative version of the Pubverse you were unable to see the other boy/girls. Where as in the perceived real inverse pubworld everybody turned up and had a jolly good laugh at your expense.

I offer all these explanations to you LB, so if you have any input that could help decide which may be the correct view, that would be very helpful. :D

Well now, could you get more 'black and white' than that?

There is of course option d) (and it goes like this...)

D) Something happens that renders 'tog meetings hugely unimportant, at that moment in time,and public apologies, to placate those that need them, irrelevant.

I'll go with option D, but those who might have plumped for 'A'...who cares whether you are happy with it or not, other life happens and it sure doesn't fit in just to please you.

(Now, because I'm nice I'll add this caveat: I apologise for being quite so blunt, I'm usually much more diplomatic, but it's a risky business to judge people in such a simple way.)

Ouch! That stings! :lol:

But I think you'll find I am unhappy about an idea being mundane rather than people not turning up. Maybe the way I type not good. Nobody else seems to have taken it that way. In fact the whole post had a general air of jest and jolly japes about it me thinks, and maybe I have been judged unfairly. :thinking:

Based on this response, I am now waiting for the negative reaction from those whose gender I questioned! :D

And, apparently I post like a 50 year old according to the boys and girls that night. How did that happen? Bit of a shock to you all when you I turned up with the baby sitter. :eek:

If you decide to do it again, I'd love to join in the madness. I'm having a nightmare with t'internet at home at the moment, so can only access from work (hence no pics for ages), but will pop in from time to time, as long as no-one around in the office to see me!! ;)

Thats gonna be a total nightmare Joe, moving 2 houses!
Co-incidentally we have also sold our house and are "looking" but I guess its several months down the line for us and moving 1 house is plenty thanks :D ....
Ok So Mr Lago.. I mean Mr Rabbit, Mr Gubby and Ms Cobra are up for it any more for any more?

I'm a bit late to this party again, but yes... :D

But, if anyone from this group is interested in doing something a little different on Sunday 23rd September then let me know.

You'll be mixing with NON-PHOTOGRAPHERS as well. :eek: But don't let that bother you as you met me and I'm not a photographer. ;)

It will be day of shooting in woodland a little north of Corby. Not real shooting though unfortunately, but Airsoft which is something similar to Paintball. So, yes it can hurt.

Initial cost will be £35 which gets you the weapon, ammo, mask and Camo Jacket.

Let me know and ladies are welcome. The last few times I was in charge organising these private days we did have some 'ladies' present. Hand them a 600 rounds per minute rifle and they do tend to get a little aggressive. ;)

It is a private day. Invite only so we will not be getting any walk ons.

Only if I'm allowed to bring the milspec handguns I'm cleared for and the Sig 552 5.56mm assault rifle I aim to be trained on by the end of the year. :p ;)

I suspect you're not used to Rabbits that shoot back are you? :lol:

Well if you decide to sign up then we'll just have to make sure we are on the same team so we never have to test the Sneaky Cobra against the Irritable_Rabbit Armed and Dangerous. ;)

Actually I do want everybody with real firearms experience on my side anyway. :D

As much as we'd like to relocate Corby and surrounding area further north, I cannot get the funding for that project. ;)

Put the bat down Mrgubby... And grab an assault rifle instead. :D

Toto_Returns says when 15 6mm rounds fired at 300 feet per second hit you in the a#$e they do sting like a b#gg@r! :eek:

Having seen a gentleman from the SAS operating a 9mm I can safely say that shooting you in the nads was not an accident. :eek:

What did you do to upset him? :D

Now then Guys and Gals..... for those who don't fancy being shot in the a**e, how about motorcars going round and round and round..........? There's a two day event over the weekend of 15th & 16th Sept at Rockingham Speedway.......anyone interested in that?

'Play' and SAS aren't two words I'd use in the same sentence even if it is non-lethal force on force training. :eek: :lol:

Which is sort of what this airsoft is but where the word play can be used quite safely. :D

Anyway, where's IanC_UK when you need him? I'm sure he'd like to get his hands on something longer than his 600mm F4! Ooooer! :coat:

And that weekend I may be on 24 hour callout. Sorry photostar_1. :( I'm sure we'll all manage an event that we can all get to again... Even if I do appear to have scared the young Joe_T away with my excessive sanity. :bonk:
