Gee, I wonder whether it would be a case of "who" would murder you?

Cheers Petra d.

Geoff,

I'd love to come, but, I'm stuck down here for three more weekends due to work.

I'll probably start re-attending Pony Club meetings in November. We can hang out until well after everyone has left, except Andrew (Rocket Boy), yourself and yours truly are left behind. Maybe, by then, the clouds would have cleared; the seeing brilliant; the sky still; we can remark how the others who left were suckers for not weathering the clouds; and, my polar alignment ready?

Regards,
Humayun

would be great if you could visit again "H"

look forward to it
sure "RB" would love to see you too
we do like the "stayers" to keep us company as you know

but we do need the "sacrificial lamb" occasionally to get rid of the clouds

I'm in.
By then my workload would have eased a little.
Looking forward to seeing you again H, the best polar alignment doesn't happen till after midnight anyway, by then we would have sacrificed a few Cubans.
Geoff the owl hasn't changed a bit BTW.

BUT Mike !

you need to make sure your gear is all working before lostock

and you need to take that new trailer for a run, just to be sure the trip back from lostock the other week didn't cause any problems


besides - h0ughy might be coming

and well! - if he can get a leave pass - i mean to say!

congratulations on your 100 posts Rick

BUT - i can't believe you blokes
passing up an opportunity to share the company and the cubans into the wee hours - let alone the pleasure of MY company

it's OK - i am NOT offended - truly

is there - any one - any one - any one - that can get a leave pass and is interested ?
