The reason I ask is I want to try to get our money to you before you go, I am thinking of dropping it through your letterbox in the morning (i'm on nights tonight).

So banging on the door at 9am isn't going to go down too well then??

what about peeps bringing sausages and bacon etc for a big brunch?

Also, what are peoples ideas for food for the day? Bob will just have us working through again otherwise.. with no missed meal tickets handed out!

I doubt I'll waste away though...

Careful Rich you could become a mere shadow of your former self.

[Rich]

It'd take more than 2 missed meals for that.

[danpug]

Hope you guys have a great day, no doubt you will. I'm gutted i can't make it this year, off to germany tomorrow because of another hobby of mine! Next year maybe.

[goldseal]

What's that hobby then?

[Her Lushness]

What's that hobby then?

Maybe he's a cat burglar in Luebeck?

[goldseal]

I didn't think the Germans kept many pet cats

EDIT: Could you put me down for a 23L carboy?
