Can't believe it... the one and only venue we found that would be willing to accommodate Gabrielle's sweet 16 party next month burnt to the ground yesterday.... :( Don't know if we'll find another venue. JRD... know anything in your area?
That's awful about G's party venue Rita :( I wish we could help :(
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

That's awful Rita ... hope you find somewhere else soon.
Sian following this weekends discussions on the merits of one Ben Harper ... seen as you are not yet married I thought it only fair to point out that from a quick glance around The Porch today it appears that he is back on the market
So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

oh yes and you wedding show girls, how was it ?? hehe
It was ok! The main thing being sold there is dresses so it was a bit useless for me! :roll: I DID try on two £4000 dresses though; they were very nice
I felt a wee bit sorry for my bridesmaids though as they had to traipse round with me all day :oops:
I only got my hair comb and earrings there but it was a good day

I think that dress looks awful on her... he should've refused to marry her. He'd marry me if he saw me in mine, guaranteed

Dunk - we've been looking at trains and flights for Edinburgh and they are rather expeno... mind you, the cheap ones are yet to be released.

Once a date is agreed if you all register here http://www.eastcoast.co.uk/ (click on 'Get Alerts' on the right hand side of the page) it will e-mail you the day the cheap tickets for that date go on sale. I would register the date you want to travel to Edinburgh and the date you want to travel back as they may go on sale at different times. Buying two singles is usually the cheapest way of buying the tickets.
EDIT: Also just checked Travelodge's website and is showing for a Friday check-in - Sun check-out (I checked the middle weekend in March) £25 per night for the Waterloo Place Travelodge
So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?
We're looking at going the weekend of the 25th, flying in on the friday afternoon and out on the monday afternoon (as its our anniversary ) Flights are ridiculously expensive so we'll wait til a sale happens closer to the date but thats what we're planning...whether you lot are there or not :twisted:
That Travelodge has a great location (don't know what it'll be like inside ... a bit Travelodgy I expect ) ... it's the same price the weekend Al is going (not talking about for Al and the Mrs as presume for their anniversary they may want somewhere a bit more la de da) should we decide to gatecrash.
Al you advised Mrs Al this may not be the romantic weekend away with just the two of you she may have been expecting for her wedding anniversary??

dentist this afternoon :? it was not good! maybe i should have gone earlier and not had to put up with what i did today! gotta go back soon and get some more stuff sorted out :?
I've just chewed through my 5th plastic barbell in as many weeks cos I don't want metal in my mouth anymore as it can do serious damage to tooth enamel and gums. I'll have to order more!
yeah, i broke a tooth on monday, nice and decayed, but hopefully no need for root canal :shock: we will see, only a temp filling in there in case i do need it :? i even got to keep the bit of my tooth that broke off :roll:
I've been running round like an idiot all morning as I was supposed to do a huge presentation (that I had 24 hours to prepare :roll: ) at 10am and i've just found out it's been put back to 13:30 *sigh of relief*
... and I got Rob Zombie tickets this morning

I'm sure she's used to these "coincidences" already
Al, did you have to dress up in a mankini?!
She is WELL used to those accidental meetings
I didn't have to wear the mankini thank fuck...finished 3rd last...last putt on the last hole saved me :twisted:
So that weekend we were looking at is out...Ireland are playing Scotland in Edinburgh in the 6 nations, in other words those prices are gonna go up and up and up.....back to the drawingbaord
Red your unhappy face needs to be replaced by a relieved smilie...would not have been a pretty sight...even for jennington and she do anything to get a view of one of me pubes

sorry Red, i don't know anything about that sort of thing... :roll: i can ask my other half if you like, she might know about party venues and such?
urgh, just had a couple of days off with a trapped nerve in my shoulder and probable RSI in my arm. how can it be painful to just HAVE an arm ? :( shouldn't really be at work today or even using a computer but have urgent things to sort out... *sigh* anyway, i'm going to have tomorrow and probably Monday off and try to go 4 days without using a PC or laptop... wonder if i can manage that...
Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?
Al... sad face was for missing a good laugh... even if it was gross and cringeworthy!
V... went to see a cricket club yesterday which would be suitable (it's quite local too). The lady there was a dragon but I guess I can deal with that. Location could be a problem though. For G's friends it's not too bad though there is only one bus going by followed by about 10 minutes walk but for Lara's friends it's more difficult seeing they come from Kingston/wimbledon way. I also contacted a church hall nearby. The location is MUCH better, even if it's still Whitton. Not far from the station and 3 bus routes going past. Most kids will be picked up at the end but I know a lot will want to take public transport to ge there. The church hall has a penciled in booking. The lady only has a name (no telephone number). SHe said to call back Saturday and if the booking hadn't been confirmed I could have the hall. Though the club is a definite option, I would much prefer the church hall as it is MUCH cheaper and more convenient. But then again, I'll just be happy for a venue!!!! We'll see. It's so hard for me not to call the church hall lady today to see if she heard anything!
jrd - hope your arm gets better soon. Or just amputate it - no problems then!
