Be Excellent To Each Other

I might have to add myself to the cottage list at this rate. Fucking non-alcoholic beer

That should totally be a thing. Anyone who forks out an additional £100 can 'bring' banhammer as a sock puppet account and ban people at will for the weekend.

It could go towards Mr Chris's shortfall seeing as that's like trying to get blood from a stone.

Yes that's exactly it myp.

Updated, as Mr Chris paid!!!

I assume this is ATOL protected?

Only if you booked your flight with Curio in the same transaction as the accommodation. Then you'd get Flight+ ATOL protection.

I used to do this for a living. COME AT ME BRO.

Yeah, cos I was going to turn up and still not pay, obvs.

Because Curio isn't in the 21st century I had to pay by phone banking. PHONE BANKING.

I'm flattered, but no thank you xx

I imagine there was still a fair amount of cynicism about the 'turning up' part

Do you know I turned down a trip to Singapore for the week so I could come, man.

Instead I'm going to Brussels for the night the night before.

Yeah, I just paid the cancellation fee for the actor we have used past few years to play him

Given how infrequently you'd need his services, I imagine that was pretty cheap.

In fairness, it's a straw stuffed pillow with a picture of linus on it attached to a skateboard.

I liked that guy.

That reminds me of Dogwood.

Would the farmer mind if we rigged up a flag pole on the lawn? Might get a flag.

I should bring a Black Country flag.

I'll bring a US one.

We haven't lit the cottage fire since Cottage II, have we?

Updated for payment from litlchef (Rach).

Nearly there, peeps!

Train ticket booked!

4 weeks, fuckas!

I'm looking forwards to seeing most of you.

But not ALL of you, Malc.

As in, underwear is a good thing. Don't forget it.

I am very excited about seeing all of you too. Although ,likewise, not the totality of each individual. Except perhaps Grim.....

whybis local boy Zoidberg not attending?!

Note that I'm not bringing your cardigan. You have to come to MeatUp 2017 to get it back.

WHUUUUT?

I will bring Red Stripe for you if you bring my cardigan. I miss it.

What should we be bringing to put in these shot glass thingies?

Curio, are you still doing a wine tasting? If so are you getting the wine and we're chucking cash at you or do you want to delegate a bottle to each taster?

I'll certainly bring underwear!

Hmm.

HMMMM.

What should I do, Beexers?

Go North

Don't be bribed! Stand firm!

Red stripe + fireball at least surely?

Bring him his cardigan so he doesn't have to attend MeTup 2K+17

I'm ordering a case so we can fit tasting bottles in there, I'd expect.

Aww, aren't you lovely.

But still bring Grim... his Red Stripe

I had entirely forgotten that. I will see if I can work something out and keep you posted.

I have a half marathon the week after the cottage, i might not be able to drink that much

The cottage is a drinking marathon, not a sprint.

ha ha

All right, we get it. You're a fitness nut now.
