Bristol Splunch - 24/05/08

[Mike Nomic]

Hi - newbie here. I'd like to come along to this. It would be late afternoon if I manage it - will people still be around?

Yes, certainly some of us will still be around until 7.00pm (ish), and then moving on somewhere for a meal, more drink and more chat.

Welcome along Vitcoria, it would be lovely to see you there.

Mike.

It's looking good for me being there . . . . just a few tweaks to the plan and it should be " Temple Meads Here I Come ! "

Looking forward to it !

Oh, how lovely - a weekend in the country for the famous shirt.

Looking forward to seeing it, and you.

Mike.

Yes, the shirt is rather excited ( anything with that many colours is bound to get a little hyper-active at the slightest opportunity ) . . . I am having to iron it on an hourly basis just to calm it down ! In fact I am ironing it as I type ! So, please don't phone me for the next five minutes . . . .

Anyway,

" Templemeads Here I Come ! "

[Candy Custard]

wooohooo more people on the list yay

really looking forward to meeting those I havent met before, and seeing again those of you I have met

and gawd...... hope the weather is SCORCHIO like today, and preferably for a good few days after that too as im planning to get extremely muddy

[thrillseeker]

Count me in for this one...sounds like fun

Just to make you aware, all pubs in bristol could be slightly busy on this day as its the play off final involving Bristol City, but with the moomin side bet, should make it very interetsing!

[Richard]

Just checked my Senior Railcard , it expires on 25th May! It would be a shame not to use it so consider me as a 'probable'.

[Candy Custard]

Good good good more names keep em comin people

[Candy Custard]

FAO mike - I have now FINALLY remembered to post this for you on the umd forum

Well of course Bristol has two teams, Bristol City and Bristol Rovers, with a long-standing antipathy between their respective supporters. So roughly half of Bristol's football supporters won't be interested, and about 36,000 will be at Wembley. Bristol could be bordering on deserted.

Mike, have you made a list of who's coming? Also, how do we recognise each other; the London lot used an A-Z originally but thats not needed now. I have met you and Candy but not everyone has and I don't know all the west country folk.

Rich.

[Mike Nomic]

Plymdante & Sally

Richard, I've just seen your post on the topic review that appears at the bottom when you're writing a reply, so I'll have my Bristol A-Z with me, and may be wearing a local T-shirt.

Mike.

Can I say that Jane is a question mark. Dante's also a question mark, joys of a pub job

[Hayley]

Ah, perhaps you could all try out the Bristol fountains for the forum? See London Fountains thread.

I think an illustrated Water Feature Map of Britain is called for.

You can say what you like within reason - she's your missus!

Dante's also a question mark, joys of a pub job

Does this make him a pub quiz?

Can I just say 'Oh, bugger' ... that's two moved from the definites to the probables.

Who's going to move from the possibles to the confirmed to make up the numbers?

Mike.

Not in Britain but here's a fountain in Antibes that's just asking to be walked through .
