Be Excellent To Each Other

Oh yeah, I remember now.

Yeah, I know that, hence my 'WTF'.

I know you know that. That was just the feed line to my joke.

Timing.

Ironic given that we won't be there on the Friday

Not ironic - just dumb.

I can give a more definitive answer if someone can give me a ballpark on cost (Sorry if this is elsewhere, couldn't see it in the topic.) The biggest stretch I could do is Friday evening to Sunday afternoon.

That your fault for organising a holiday the week before

Cost depends on numbers attending, but is usually in the region of 100 quid per person.

£100, that's not too bad. Even though I am pitifully paid Bob Cratchitt-style.

My first Beex cottage experience! I am greatly excited. There is room for me, right? Right?

Yay! Pete!

*kicks out Myp*

Sure there is!

I think that makes 19 people, with a possible Tyrant +1.

Groovy.

I will have a +1 with any luck.

Why, is the blind school on holiday that week?

I'll check nearer the time, tbf.

It may not be this one

Is this current one the one that is a female version of you...? Minus the beard. Hopefully. Or not. Is that sexist? She can have a magnificent beard if she so chooses, I'm sure it looks lovely on her.

She is, but I'm being a bit of a dick to her so we'll see how long she puts up with me.

Surely the answer to that is to stop being a dick to her?

(Here if you want to chat )

How can he do that and still be himself?

(Joke!)

Beat me, dammit!

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Don't be a lone wolf, Lonewolves.

This isn't far off the truth sadly!

Well we've put up with you for years.

Soooooooooooooo.

How are people fixed for the weekend before the usual weekend?

That is to say, Friday 7th October to Monday 10th.

Coz, like, ummmmmmm. Yeah.

You penis.

In.

Title of your sex tape.

Probably OK.

Um... I don't think so.

I need to double-check against a wedding.

Flip.

I've booked it off at work, and then I'll cancel one of them when you know what's happening.

Just went on cottages4you and it says available?

This isn't a failing to book the cottage thing is it? It's a Curio social life fail.

Cottages dot com disagrees. I will just give the chap a call and check.

Other alternates are Nov 4th (but fireworks) or Nov 11th

Sadly this is a Curio Has Issues With Anxiety And Phones thing.

I can come!

God I don't blame you. I will do literally anything to avoid phoning someone.

Ah, that's the smaller one of the two cottages. The bigger one is called the Farm.

I shall brave the phone call with the owner and get us at least provisionally put in for the prior weekend, and hopefully everyone can still make it.

Sorry, folks!

New dates covers my birthday

Also mine. Party!

Didn't the old dates? Why did we get you a fucking cake?

So we could hide a bottle of Smirnoff Ice?

Well...yes.

Didn't mean to come across strong Curio. Didn't realise about the two cottages thing.

Nah, don't worry. I should have either done it or asked someone. It's my bad.

I have left the owner a voicemail requesting the earlier weekend if our one is not free.

I hope you put a lot of emphasis on the word "our".

Have now spoken to owner.

Sadly 14-16th is taken.

New date booked is 7th - 10th (Friday to Monday morning).

I will PM everyone to check they know.

Many apologies again.

Cost is likely to be between 75 - 100 pounds per person, depending on how many attendees we have (75 = 20 people, 100 = 15 people).

I'll start collecting deposits soon (apart from Grim who already paid his).

You fucking tossers. I hate it too but I just get it done. Just had to call a heating engineer I didn't know and shat myself. Still fucking did it though.

He's right. We should all just snap out of our depression while we're at it.

Pffft. It did take me over a week to build up to it, mind. I used to get Ange to do it for me.
