For Camber: pub has giant dog and survived car crashing into it.

For Camber: less suicidally slippy stairs up to top floor chalets

ailsa, Friday, 5 October 2007 14:43 (sixteen years ago) link

Against Camber: suicidally slippy stairs to top room.

Giant dog wasn't there last time. Maybe the schox of the car crash did him in. And maybe they have knocked down another pub since we were there last.

FAP at Minehead worked better than any year at Camber.

I think that had more to do with company, sunshine, and Andrew Farrell than the location.

accentmonkey, Friday, 5 October 2007 14:51 (sixteen years ago) link

Sunshine and company, yes, but Andrew was also at the Camber FAPs that vaguely worked (doing his normal thing of bringing people together)but not as well as Minehead.

OFFER ACCEPTED!!!!! depending on loan of course but still, totally chuffed. Off to have a drink and just make "wow" noises under my breath.

Congratulations kv!

I have finally got my wireless router installed so to celebrate I am posting here and playing Scrabulous (or at least have 3 games on the go). Expect piddly posting later, possibly.

aldo, Saturday, 6 October 2007 19:59 (sixteen years ago) link

Sorry, I was watching telly or I would have continued Scrabulous with you. I had NOT ONE SINGLE DROP OF ALCOHOL yesterday. On a Saturday!

ailsa, Sunday, 7 October 2007 11:06 (sixteen years ago) link

S'OK. As you have noticed I need a lot of practice or else I would not have left such an obviously stupid opening.

aldo, Sunday, 7 October 2007 11:30 (sixteen years ago) link

ha, it's OK, I couldn't do anything with it anyway.

ailsa, Sunday, 7 October 2007 11:39 (sixteen years ago) link

IR teh sukc

I need a lot more practice than I thought. I have an idea and it is distracting me from playing the right tiles.

aldo, Sunday, 7 October 2007 12:00 (sixteen years ago) link

Thanks all! Now comes the hard part of getting all the money sorted out! Madness altogether. Will not breathe easy until I have keys and first repayment has left account. Hoping for a quick sale anyway.

Walking in along luas (light railway) tracks (too crowded to get on, literally 4 deep at Temple Road. Insane) it appears that my top 100 on the MP3 player has completely banjaxed itself so I'm ambushed by Al Green's So Tired of Being Alone and, god help me, there I am, young, hot and with an ass that won't quit getting all Morrissey! Was very close to taking pictures of myself with hand over face. Terrible. When Milkshake kicked in straight after it did take a few seconds of mental rebooting before business as usual. Great walk in though, hadn't a clue what would kick in next.

kv_nol, Monday, 8 October 2007 08:35 (sixteen years ago) link

Me and Neil have decided we need a hobby and something to do at the weekend that isn't watching football/playing World of Warcraft. So, WE ARE GOING TO GO HORSEY-RIDING! I am stupid mad excited about this, I haven't been horsey-riding since I was a nipper and I loves it and this is the best idea we've ever had ever.

ailsa, Monday, 8 October 2007 08:39 (sixteen years ago) link

Savage! I fear horses though. I think they're one meal away from killing us all in our beds!

kv_nol, Monday, 8 October 2007 08:40 (sixteen years ago) link

xxpost jesus kev you homeowners are a wordy bunch.

my GF decided 'we' needed more hobbies after six hours of watching football yesterday. this means trouble.

darraghmac, Monday, 8 October 2007 08:41 (sixteen years ago) link

She'll forget all about it once you get her a PSP.

I don't own a house yet. Just had first sum of money asked for. Nearly had heart attack!

kv_nol, Monday, 8 October 2007 08:42 (sixteen years ago) link

Well, it was my entire weekend of watching football and rugby that led Neil to decide we need to get out of the house and do stuff.

Owning houses is expensive, kv, did no-one tell you :-)

ailsa, Monday, 8 October 2007 08:43 (sixteen years ago) link

Though, to be fair, I did get out of the house. To, um, go the pub to watch football.

ailsa, Monday, 8 October 2007 08:44 (sixteen years ago) link

(xpost) not often enough!

kv_nol, Monday, 8 October 2007 08:45 (sixteen years ago) link

ailsa, how you doin? this neil sounds like a loser, let's you and me talk.....

darraghmac, Monday, 8 October 2007 08:45 (sixteen years ago) link

Easy there now boy, Glasgow's not that far away for vengeance flights...

kv_nol, Monday, 8 October 2007 08:49 (sixteen years ago) link

ah well, i have the DS Lite pre-ordered anyway, it's prob for the best.

darraghmac, Monday, 8 October 2007 08:54 (sixteen years ago) link

Class. Where did sunshine go?

kv_nol, Monday, 8 October 2007 08:57 (sixteen years ago) link

is that a nickname for Ailsa?

darraghmac, Monday, 8 October 2007 09:02 (sixteen years ago) link

No.

kv_nol, Monday, 8 October 2007 09:11 (sixteen years ago) link

Yay! Horsies are awesomes. I remembered how much I loved horse riding after an arab saw me on his horse and decided I knew what I was doing and MADE IT GO DEAD FAST. I had to wait about 10 minutes on F, who was plodding down the path sedately as a first-time rider.

aldo, Monday, 8 October 2007 09:13 (sixteen years ago) link

Horsies going dead fast = one of the coolest things ever.

ailsa, Monday, 8 October 2007 09:15 (sixteen years ago) link

Riding bareback made it even better.

aldo, Monday, 8 October 2007 09:19 (sixteen years ago) link

That's going to end up on ILE epitaphs, isn't it.

aldo, Monday, 8 October 2007 09:19 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh hai congrats on the house Kv!!

Sarah, Monday, 8 October 2007 11:04 (sixteen years ago) link

Cheers Sarah.

kv_nol, Monday, 8 October 2007 11:06 (sixteen years ago) link

I drove to work today and parked yards from my office. I doubt anyone in Austin enjoyed their commute more.

Misery, Monday, 8 October 2007 12:04 (sixteen years ago) link

You bought a car? Finally! Here's to happier commuting.

kv_nol, Monday, 8 October 2007 12:12 (sixteen years ago) link

I was given a car. Which will take a bit to settle in with me as I don't like feeling beholden to others. But as it stands I have a car (albeit small and dated) which is clean, low mileage, A/Ced and was free. I am blessed.

Misery, Monday, 8 October 2007 12:16 (sixteen years ago) link

Savage.

How's your brother's thing going?

kv_nol, Monday, 8 October 2007 12:18 (sixteen years ago) link

He didn't get it. :( bummerz. He thanks all of my friends though who helped. He's hoping to get increased kicks business out of the exposure.

Misery, Monday, 8 October 2007 12:19 (sixteen years ago) link

Buggery. Well I liked his shoes. Plz to link?

kv_nol, Monday, 8 October 2007 12:20 (sixteen years ago) link
