Just remember Foxy, you're as young as the man you feel 😉

Are you doing solo Paul? Are E&G coming too?

Cheers Vortex, sorry went off on one then, on a bit of a downer today 🙁 You're right though, I'll all sort itself out somehow.

sadly vortex, his back seems to be a medical mystery at the moment. No one from GP to Neurologist to Osteopath seems to have a clue what the problem is and don't know where to send him next. He has another MRI in September but then after that my BUPA stops as I get it with my job and am losing my job so we're back to NHS waiting lists.

Can't do either Mick, sorry. Next week?

(I guess the fact that I'm a bit sorry more of you aren't saying I should go means I should go?)

Clubber we have good tent & gazebo etc etc so will be comfortable, there's plenty of space in the solo tent anyway. I'm quite liking Harry's plan.

Jimmy no worries re cufflinks, think I have some others sorted anyway.

Oldgit I baled on last years becuase of not wanting to birthday in the rain. While I know it was the right thing to do, I still kind of regret it.

lol, that's the dilemma thisisnotaspoon. shrugs.

Happy birthday!

We stayed in a fab apartment on the street where Gaudi's houses are, and only about 5 mins from the top of Las Ramblas. I'll see if I can dig out the details.

Rich now has a full on cold and is feeling pretty rotten. Thinking back it was a bit silly of him to come as he'd had the worst week with his back that he's had in a long time – loads of spasms where he gets stuck, but we just hoped it would last the day.

I'm not entirely sure what we're going to do with all the cake we have now! there's rather a lot of very rich chocolate & orange cake with chocolate ganache topping and candied orange peel. And happy birthday candles 😉

🙁

Happy birthday FC!

MrSoreen, no, twas not me on Saturday. I had a very domesticated day tackling my ironing and baking Rich's birthday cake while looking at the rain on Saturday!

Hello TC. D'you know it's v spooky as only on Friday I was wondering what you were up to these days (I was thinking of that very muddy SITS we did). And then lo and behold, I spotted you on a thread on saturday. How's life? Are you still living up here?

Sorry we had to bail 🙁 I hope there was enough cake to go round without my contribution.

🙂

fizzer, given that's it's been raining pretty much solidly for the last week I'm expecting a lot of wet!

Johnnie, I'm not asking you to sign I'm asking you to sing 😉

I'm bringing my full suss but only because there are small block 8s on the Voodoo and I can't be arsed to change them, so either fs or ht will be fine.

If you have candle-lighting equipment that will be great, I don't need to stop at a shop then 🙂

My saturday night EDL is;

G&T
rich putting new brake pads on the Juliana for me
will be pasta & tomato sauce when Rich makes it.

Keep us updated on how he's doing Mick.

Does anyone who's coming carry either matches or a lighter with them?

Ooh nice DJ.

nice pic fizzer!

The cake is in the oven.

Dave which day's your birthday, sat or sun? Mine's Sunday 🙂

If you're female I'd suggest getting rid of it for the interview.

I think 40p is the recommended amount. My friend is a vicar and gets milage for her cycling, but it's less than that, can't remember what though, sorry.

I had a lovely chat once with a lady who got on at the stop after mine and was going all the way to where I get off (the end of the line). She was a very sweet middle aged spinster type who was off to visit a friend, and was very talkative. Unfortunately she was so softly spoken that I could only understand one word in 5. It made for quite an entertaining conversation 😆

I come from a long line of bus talkers though. My auntie made a life long friend on the bus. A lady called Damson Joan. They used to make jam together in the end (hence the Damson part of her name).

Erm, yes, you can see right there, I am one of those nutters aren't I???

Yes I expect it does 😆

Sorry for your losses swoosh, it has obviously been a really hard time for you.

We're not grieving more for people in the public eye, of course not. But you can spare a thought for them at the same time. And yes, I do care, and I do donate.

And yes,a lot of footballers are overpaid twunts, but Bobby Robson was not one of them.

– bus'es are full of interesting characters

that's a + surely? I love chatting to random strangers on the bus.

Very sad news indeed.

I love that pic with the chair, I remember you posting it before and it really makes me smile 🙂

What has she purchased?

Ok cheers for letting me know DeeJay.

🙂 That's his real age. Of course feel free to tell him how much older he looks!

SC Juliana comes in teeny too, there's really a good range of choice out there these days. Not that I need it now I'm Tall 😉

With Lowey & co.

Yes I can bring the Juliana if that is requested. We need 34 candles for the cake (it's going to be a chocolate and orange cake). Hope everyone can sing in tune!

Ah there you go. Rain again.

This particular minute in leeds the sun is vaguely out (I'm not sure how as the sky is black). A minute ago it was pouring with rain.

Paul, we have been quoted between 13.5 and 25 to do ours (including porch though). Can recommend a builder if you want. that includes demolishing the old one and digging up a large amount of concrete driveway as well .

We are also doing D2D as a pair.

So MrS, your training regime has been pulling allnighters? I like it 🙂
