I was gonna say I'd like a Hummer but that might be taken wrong and I certainly don't want to be woken up from my bunk bed at 5am by an obliging 'dini.
Any other 4x4 stretched vehicle will be fine.

Right then

Tomorrow is where the expedition to more uncivilised parts begins ( I usually avoid anything further out than zone 3).

The train to Ashford International leaves London Bridge at 10.32 and gets to its destination at 11.48

I suggest that all who are training it meet at London Bridge by the information boards (by the barriers) at 10.15 giving us enough time to get the saver returns (cost £23).

As far as I know it is

Dini

Mrs Bronz is decking the house with bunting and hoovering off the red carpet. Unfortunately she has not acceded to 'dini's request to wear a maid's outfit, but you can't have it all.

I think you miss understood his request.

It was Dini who wanted to wear the maids outfit.

He even asked me if I could bring a WW1 flying cap and a stick of celery.....the mind boggles

If you don't like travelling beyond zone 3, then you could always go to charing cross and go from there?

It's still a straight train through

I will be driving down - train from here is too complicated for my little brain.

Where are we all meeting, and at what time?

Well, us train lot will be at Ashford International at 11.48 with Bronz then herding us all to Alakazam for a C.U.P.S frenzy.
From there I know nowt

I will try to get to Ashford to meet the train then.

Look out for a green landrover with far more headlamps than in sensible!

Well we can certainly mark that meet down as a success.

Visit to Alakazam where we were served and thusly fleeced of all our money by Nardi

A quick pop into cards4magic to spend more money

Beer and burger afternoon to early evening

House party til the wee small hours in which magic was performed to much apathy. There was debauched drinking and a poor passed out reveller got pentagrams, a male member and "I love girls" written in sharpie on his face and neck.

A big thanks to Bronz for hosting the event and also to mental who ferryed us around in his truck.

Aye, such a success that I've just woken up on my sofa after a lovely afternoon nap induced by the stress of cooking breakfast for three screaming prima donnas. So I managed to sleep all the way through that wedding fayre that I was supposed to be doing, oh well.

The best bit of the whole magical day was Greedo and I's own spelling routine, which I predict will storm to victory on Britain's Got Talent before touring the world and ending up in a highly lucrative 10 year Vegas contract to make Lance Burton look like a childish pauper.

Again a big thanks to Graham for driving down and running us around at the end of the night, next time we'll get you a couple of extra pints, of petrol if you prefer.

Monkey's twist on TDB was awesome - can't thank him enough for sharing, I would have kept it quiet

Was a good meet - already looking forward to the next one (as long as 'Dini doesn't choose a gay bar!)

I would love to come on a meeting like this. What would I need to do to be able to come along?

I'd forgotten about the alphabet game. I do think we could take that on the road you know!

I say Saturday 23rd Feb for the next one and as discussed maybe we should enter into a dialogue concerning a new central London venue as I think we are all sick of the poo (but cheap) beers.

I know Dini and beard were mentioning the Admiral Duncan

other pubs?

try scouting out The Edgar Wallace near temple tube - it's a bit small, but they used to have an upstairs bit with some tables...

Babyshanks - just let us know you are coming and someone will keep an eye out for you. You will need to have some bikes to hand so you are easily recognised. We tend to meet in pubs - hopefully you are old enough?
