Be Excellent To Each Other

That's a rifle, isn't it? Or a musket, maybe. Or both. I suspect it's both.

It should be a rifle musket, but as I only burn powder the barrel is smoothbore so it can be classed as a shotgun. Amusingly, some of our artillerymen's cannons are shorter than they should be so they too can be called 'shotguns'.

Of course, that's how it works in England. Things are way easier over here in Tennessee (which reminds me - I need to give a guy a call who offered to take me shootin' one day).

And he was never heard from again.

So if I'm a single, do I have to share?

Flis can provide information here.

I would grudgingly accept a single bed.

Pretty much, unless it's undersubscribed.

Share a room? Yes.

Share a bed? What APOD said.

I have now received deposit money from:

Me
Wife
APOD
APOD wife
Grim...
Craster
Malabelm
Mrs Malabelm
Kern
MaliA (Kern accidentally paid twice, so you only need to pay for MrsA now)
Trooper

Let me know if you need payment details.

£60 should be with you now, Curio.

//edit: For me and Zeppo.

*crosses Shin off list*

Things to do before you're 40?

It's gonna get kinky.

I'll pay you when I get back. limited banking facilities here.

I do believe I had patch. Either tgwy or kcpgnt yo kuvknon tnr continue to gjf gjf iv hrv keep gt

I assume patch must be some new drug.

I assume Dave fell over

Patch = paid. Quite what I was trying to say afterwards, I truly have no idea.

Is your phone back again?

It has more to do with much alcohol + no food

Payments received from Rich and Gaz. Cheers, fellas!

I have paid a deposit on the cottage. Any further sets of 30 quid would be greatly appreciated.

Should anyone wish to move themselves to a different group, such as one that has given me money of some description, that would be fabulous.

You can give me my money back, if that helps?

Cheers to Ramsea and Flis for the deposit monies.

The actual deposit is (more than) paid now, so no further cash necessary until the balance is due.

Though if you feel a burning desire to pay more now, my overdraft thanks you.

Errrr?

To do so is human.

I'm not even politely interested now.

Amaze. He's so much more productive now he's unemployed... And he gets paid more. No downsides so far!

Yes. Yes, you are.

Curio, I'm not going to make it this year if you want to update your list.

WHAT??????? Who will be my bad-guy shit-guy mafia scum partner now?

Don't worry, I intend on popping over for a few hours on the Saturday, don't want to miss live scum or the quiz*.




*I might even be looking forward to seeing some of you guys too.

This is unacceptable!

Fine, I won't come on the Saturday then.

I (we) are now a probable no to this due to something coming up*. Will know more by the end of the week but it is unlikely to change.

*Not pregnancy

Not acceptable. Better diary management, please.

POSSIBLE CHANGE OF CHANGE OF CHANGE OF PLAN INCOMING.

Fucking hell, this place is ridiculous sometimes.

Well yes, but for the majority of the time, the forum isn't that bad.

Make your fucking mind up, you dick.

Also, the wife is likely going to Ireland this weekend now, avec child. Dunno if this will change the plans of your wife.

If it makes you feel any better, MrsA and I have been invited to a wedding the weekend after the cottage. They still haven't sent their invitations out. When they do, and it will clash with the cottage due to improbable dates mix-up, imagine the scenes at MaliTowers(Northern outpost)that will ensue. I'm not missing the Cottage III for a wedding. In Essex. Even whilst MrsA is a bridesmaid.

It almost certainly would.

Malia - I missed the first night last year due to it clashing with a shotgun wedding. Not Fucking Impressed.

Fucking sort your shit out, bitch.

I reckon they should both go to Ireland.

Thread title updated for great justice.

Great. Now next time I want to cancel before finding out 5 minutes later that I need a better excuse, I won't be able to search for the thread using cottage as a keyword in the topic line. You blithering cunt.
