Barge/Rant Thread Social Stuff

With much regret, I'm not going to be able to make it along this evening, chaps.

Still too much stuff to sort this evening in prep for tomorrow's departure for N24.

Particular apologies to cmoose as he's gone to the trouble to bring his motor along.

Sorry but I was just coming on to post the same. Two short evenings left and much to do!

Did you get the email I sent yesterday evening?

er, chaps - I was planning on slinging a few things into a bag on Friday morning? Is there something I should know?

Your excursion is rather more N24-lite.

Top-down pax rides round Berkeley Sq would be decidely unpleasant.

Well, so far I have packed a passport, money and babywipes.

What am I missing?

You're in charge of the health and cleanliness? GP is bringing the rest of your 'love toys'?

There should be a competition for who packs the least.

Fair enough.

Guys! I'm only bringing passport, cash and toothbrush.

Cling film. You've seen the forecast, right?

I reckon we're 85% of the way to making the next instalment of Saw.

Vain, hairy Scotsman, wrapped in clingfilm; dumped in a German forest; bummed to death by homo-warthogs.

Someone take something for him to wear, if only for the sake of the seats in his car when he comes to sell it.

Chill. It's a rented van.

[V8mate]

Perfect!

[V8mate]

Right. A bit of N24 warm-up viewing.

This year, we're not 'following the tribe' and staying on the camping areas for Engländers; next year we go one step further and go properly native! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BfVCQN4ONU

Talking of which, I've got us all a present.

You can thank me later.

Ooooooooooh!

I would just like to say that I am genuinely gutted not to be coming to this.
Would definitely like to attend next year if we go again.

Remarkably, due to the unique way in which the event isn't organised, it's not too late for you to come!

I believe there's still a seat in the Flangemobile leaving Friday teatime too.

Actually, is it an ice cube maker machine thingy?

That'd be good. A solar-powered one!

Seeing as you are so excited you can try it first!

The ice machine? That'd be a great thing to have, wouldn't it? We should invent one... by this time next year, Rodney...

The goat can keep the grass short.

[V8mate]

I'm not going, anyway.

2 inches of rain between 10 and 4 on Thursday; then another two inches between 4 and 7pm!

And again Friday.

It'll be absolutely hammering it down whe you arrive in the early hours of Saturday.

But Saturday itself, should be a nice day for the N24 Classics race.

I have the long range forecasts - I have waterproofs. And a Hat. And wellies.

Safe.

Why?

It never rains in the beer tents.

And once Olly clocks the go-go dancers, I doubt he'll see any of the racing anyway.
