Damn. I was actually hoping to attend this one but won't be able to June 4. Bollocks and bedamned. Ah well, you all are safe for another year.

[Monty]

Let me know when you can make it Ally and I'll arrange a special job for you.

[Andrew Firth]

All being well, those in attendance at this year's Job, will have the opportunity to contribute to a photographic book of the event. The cover's already done...



All the best

Monty

That sounds....ominous?



If I decide not to go to my high school reunion, maybe I can still make it. I mean with Facebook, my space and email, who really needs a reunion any more?

[Vila]

Lindsey & I will be in England from the morning of May 5th 'til our flight back to the US on the 18th. We'll arrive at Gatwick at an ungodly early hour on the 5th, & then buy train tickets for Cosham. We'll be in the Cosham/Gosport/Portsmouth area most of the time, but plan to go back to London at least for one day, and Bristol for at least one other.
While in Bristol, I really need to try and meet up with the editor of my 2nd published short story, Gareth D. Jones.
We're also planning to renew our wedding vows while we're across the pond. Perhaps in Glastonbury, perhaps nearby. Ali & Lee Bevan know exactly where. *I* just have to show up dressed respectably and follow the script, LOL!
Looking forward to seeing Philip Hutchinson, Trevor Bond, Lee & Ali, Suzi & Anton again, plus as many others as we can arrange to meet along the way. Mind you, our budget is tight for this trip and we'll be at the mercy of public transport for every expedition out of Cosham. If a meet-up in London can be arranged, I'd love that. Aside from going on another of Philip's Ripper tours, I fully intend to visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum again, as well as every pub I can convince Lyn to enter along the way! (I may be used to walking 10 to 20 miles a day whilst at work, but my beloved is no longer habituated to such hikes.)
PMs or e-mails welcome. Perhaps something can be worked out as to meet-ups. In any case, anyone who can find us in Cosham is more than welcome to raise a few pints at my sister-in-law's private pub in her back garden.
Oh, progress is being made on my possible submission of a short story collection all of my own. A pro-writer friend is copy-editing a collection of my sci-fi stories for submission to her publisher. We shall see if they like it once she and I are finished polishing the manuscript.

[Sister Hyde]

I'll be there for the WS meeting so...I'm in.

[Monty]

Welcome on board Sister.

Monty

[Sister Hyde]

[Monty]

You cant mean Rob then?

Monty

[Sister Hyde]

no, obviously that one has already been seen on previous jobs

[Rob Clack]

I don't know if I should ask on a public forum what a hairy wookie is.

Rob

[Sister Hyde]

that's just me... refering to an old thread.

[Rob Clack]

Funny, Neil reminds me of an Ewok

Rob

[Sister Hyde]

that will be repeated and VERY distorted
