The correct units of measurement for awesome are milliMalis, where MaliA=1 milliMali.

Ah... memories viewtopic.php?p=138585#p138585

Your recall is greater than mine. I defer to the institutionalized units, set in place to crush my ambition, hope and dreams purely by dint of my birthplace.

I'm pretty sure that's not right, it was the best date for the majority. It wasn't about being a popularity contest.

But if it was, I'd be Prom Queen and you'd be in the corner making a Venn diagram of the students, to see if any females fell into the "could possibly have a chance with" area. Like, seriously...Whatever.

Pbbbsssttt. You can use facts to prove any old thing that's true.

Curio, let us know as soon as you've done some sums. /Nag

Had a thought earlier, what about having the bbq on the Sat afternoon, so those that need to leave on the Sun don't miss out and those that just want to come up for the day on the Sat can just bring some meat with them so everyone gets fed?

MaliA · **Posted:** Mon Aug 15, 2011 23:02

I'm looking forward to playing Zombies!!! With Mr Chris there.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Tue Aug 16, 2011 10:56

Righto, it's time to actually pay for this now.

I think we have enough poeple that 80 quid per person should cover it. If that means we go over the total required then all proceeds can either be returned equally between participants, or (my preference) put into a slush fund for buying staples such as bread, milk and other such foodstuffs.

So, if you paid a deposit of 25 then you'll just need 55 quid each, otherwise it's the full 80. Babies come for free.

let me know if I've made any colossal errors, or if I have failed to register your payment of a deposit (or if you need my bank details).

Cheers in advance, and I look forward to seeing you there!

Malabelm · **Posted:** Tue Aug 16, 2011 11:03

Is the payment urgent, or can I wait until the 26th so I can afford it?

Curiosity · **Posted:** Tue Aug 16, 2011 11:14

I get paid on Friday, so I can cover people for a limited amount of time. The 26th will be fine.

ApplePieOfDestiny · **Joined:** 17th Dec, 2008 **Posts:** 8293

I have instructed the spender of money to transfer £110 today.

Just in case I do come (which I'm not saying I can), have you included the extra bill for the coal and electric this time?

Curiosity · **Posted:** Tue Aug 16, 2011 11:30

Yes, this time I have indeed included all costs.

Also, people are still welcome to come even if they can't commit to paying right now (as long as sufficient people do pay now).

GazChap · **Posted:** Tue Aug 16, 2011 11:49

£165 should be in your bank account now, squire. That covers me, Miss Me and Zeppo.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Tue Aug 16, 2011 11:57

Cheers. Money received from Gazchap, Myp and Joans.

First page slightly updated. Do let me know if I've miscounted anything.

Again, no prior interest or meet experience is required. Do come along! Fun will be had!

If I just edit your first post to say that I've paid, but don't actually give you any money, how likely are you to notice?

Very unlikely.

Excellent.

More seriously, I'll fire the money over this evening. I would do it now, but HSBC are massive fuckbags who've decided to turn their highly useful internet banking into a rotting pile of dogshit.

Malc · **Posted:** Tue Aug 16, 2011 13:02

I have a receipt that says £80 has been paid into your bank account...

Don't let the wife spend it all this time.

Ange · **Posted:** Tue Aug 16, 2011 17:50

I agree with GJ about having a BBQ on the Saturday afternoon

Also Curio, your point about the communal items such as tea, milk etc is a good one. We grossly overcatered last time. Could we go further and take a leaf out of the Grim... BBQ bible? Didn't everyone get a list of items to bring to that? Did it work ok?

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11843

apart from the gross over catering, yes.

I don't think that is needed, bring what you think you will drink/eat and drink/eat it. If you want to bring more for other people* then by all means do so, but don't be upset if there is food left over.

*I am looking at people who may work somewhere near a distillery**

Can someone bump this thread around payday so I remember to book the boat? Thanks

And here sat Miss Malabar a couple of nights ago, eagerly researching the best place to buy an entire hog and roasting machine for the cottage.

It was a very good idea in principal, I think that everyone catering for 5 was the problem.

Maybe if people just bring what they want to eat, and then something to share it would work better?

The problem was more that everyone catered for 50.

I was only catering for me.

At least we are generous beexers who like to share.

I'm not complaining with the amount of crisps I took back with me though

Will there be a super chilli cook off again?

I am down on a waiting-type list in work to try and get the Monday/Tuesday off so I can stay longer.

Also, anyone else is still more than welcome, but again let me know if at all possible.

Would it be OK to pass on money at the pub quiz. My bank seem to insist on delaying every payment is make to check for fraud., so it would probably be quicker too.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Fri Aug 19, 2011 12:04

That is acceptable.

Malabelm · **Posted:** Fri Aug 19, 2011 13:09

Would it be ok for me to pass on money entirely? Ta.

If anyone is fo' reelz put off because of the price, there is a little money in the Beex War Chest that can help out, so just PM me.

I'll give you some hard cash if I come to the quiz, Curio, if not I'll paypal it to you the next day.

I am still strongly considering this, tempted to just give you some money now then "sell" my place if I change my mind nearer the time...

Just come, the odds are that you will very much enjoy it.
