Nearly upon us

Yes, bloody crimble again.

So, it must be time for the platypus seasonal soirée. This year, it's the
evening of Saturday 16th December. All welcome, mulled wine, nibbles etc,
plenty of doss space, email for map and instructions if you've not been here
before.

 

I'll be at the panto. Under duress, I hasten to add.

 

Bugger, I'm already trying to work out how I can be here for parental
visit, be elsewhere for work then fun and fulfil promise foolishly
made that I'd babysit for a friend that evening.

I'm doing the fire and food thing on Friday 22nd and could really do
with shifting that to the 21st but there's too much on atm.

Ditch and go to platy's, YKIMS.

 

Time to check the still.....

 

That sounds like a good idea. We're doing the works xmas free booze
the night before and Adie's off to the football on Sunday so getting
pissed two nights in a row sounds acceptable.

 

Which one's the nearest railway station? Parkway or TM?

 

OK find me someone who'll be here mid morning to deal with the
parents, [1] then head down to Bedfordshire, do some work, drop some
whisky at the pixies, then head to Leicestershire, apologise to the
party hostess, come back to Derbyshire and do the promised baby
sitting and I will turn up at Platy's.

If I can get someone else to babysit, I can (reluctantly, as the
hostess throws marvellous Noel Cowardesque parties) skip the party and
head across to Platy's I suppose.

[1] She's pulled out all the emotional blackmail stops, despite me
trying to put her off. <snip rant>

 

Parkway

 

Hooray for free rail travel and Cheltenham Cabs.

 

We may risk coming across the bridge I will put it to himself as a
possible.

 

Oh no you won't!

BOOM!

OK, OK, OK, he was endangered.

But only because he deserved to be.

Move along.

Did you have to mention that?

I'd forgotten about the rather good pubs in Stock and now feel a little
homesick.

Enjoy yourself anyway.

 

The pigeons were bad enough, but a platypus cull? Something must be done.

Oh, you have. Sorry.

 

Sadly, we are otherwise engaged - enjoy!

What a pub crawl with barely enough pubs for lightweights. Nah a real
Pub crawl would be along the lines of the one in Southend, Pier Hill to
the Kursal and back.

*snort*

I'll call on the evening in question. If too many cunts are present I'll
spare you a visit [/QUOTE]

Well having reorganised things I'll be there <crosses fingers>

 

Damn. It was worth a try.

Did we ever establish what I did to get onto your shit list btw?
