Ill look out for you and put you at the front!

Err, my car isn't the tidiest around...
Maybe around the middle somewhere.
It's the thought that counts though, thanks Gemini!

Docevi1 - its not as if Darlington is a million miles away from you, which is where it was held this year (well, Raby Castle), you really should make more of an effort to get to these things, you are missing out on a heck of a lot, and according to a post recently in general gasaing you are able to drink now. Don't forget that North doesn't stop at the river tees. Gemini is from Harrogate, Lois from Preston, Planet Dave from manchester and this year Griffless and JerryHatTrick came down from Glasgow, I'm sure if they can manage it, so can you!



Gemini - I can't wait! BNG this year was my first PH meeting, and as you saw at BTaP, I soon 'integrated' myself

Let me know if you need any help or want me to check any venues, Darlington is only 10 minutes down the A66 from us.

Whats this, attack Stefan or something because I don't want to stay over places? Christ, I only found out that the tablets I was on could now be successfully stopped and the side effect of that is I can now drink again. I only found that out the other day!

As for the location, look at the way the posts are made, I asked around what "Darlow" was and asked the question on here later.

Some of us don't want to stay over places by choice, I like my car, I like the people on here and the attitudes, doesn't mean I want to camp out with then immediatly!

Yes I know the North doesn't stop at the Tee's, and my sister works in Darlington so have been umpteen times, but ultimately I like to be around home and around Newcastle. Last time I didn't come to NEPH3 because I was ill, with flu, in bed.

Stefan, noone is having a go at you, but this is the third event in a row you have turned down, despite offers of help from several people. Contrary to popular belief, and despite past behaviour, I am ctually quite shy when it comes to meeting new people, yet at any PH events I immediately feel welcome and at BTaP, which I was petrified about, I had the time of my life. As Bob said, come and give it a go!

I know what you mean Bob and plan to come down to Pistonfest next year (indeed, trying to arrange my trip to Cairo, my work experience and exams around it)...

I just don't see the point in staying out locally when ultimately I don't want to. There are reasons (medical) which I'm not going to go into (namely because no-one understands) and well, I simply don't see the appeal. I don't even stay out around here to go to clubs and the like...

I've only not made it to NE PH3! And how confident would you be in a car which you had only just bought and had never travelled any distance in. To then go out for a 100mile jaunt at night?

Don't worry about it, my old tuppaware tub made it to BNG (150 miles) and BTaP (300 miles) round trips without a hickup (even if I didn't ) - that's what breakdown cover is for!

I'll try and make BNG04 even if it's just to win the raffle again

Is this the same as the Northern Rock & Jeans that was being bandied about a couple of months back?
