A Grand Day Out

RE: A Grand Day Out

Clearly there are some things in Stead's resume that need clarification:

Climbed it - slid down it - got drunk on the underpass of the cliffy bridge. Done the observatory, done the caves - even done the tunnels from a clifton pub to the downs which I KNOW you havent done dude because the public dont get to do it! - Stead's a celebrity in trans-gender circles... hence the special invitation.

Absailed from the colston tower whilst crying like a girl yet? Done it - twice -

Stolen a light bulb from cliffy bridge? done it - twice (cos he got it wrong the first time)

Played a gig in virtually every venue in Bristol - and got booed out of 82% of them for singing a cover of S Club 7's 'Reach For the Stars' whilst dressed as a tutu waering teddybear.

Fallen in the harbour - drunk and sober (obviously a lie - he can't be in both states at once!

Stood on the Cumberland basin Whilst swinging? done it -

Done New Years eve by the Victoria rooms AS 200 female students? Done it many times

Hmmm... I may regret this.

Stead - ever slid down the rock slide near the camera obscura in clifton? ever been to the camera obscura? into the cave near the gorge accessed from the camera obscura? got drunk at the arnolfini whilst pretending to be there 'for the art'? got drunk at the mud dock whilst pretending to be there for the bikes? got drunk at the watershed whilst pretending to be there for the cinema? hmm, recurring theme here....

heh, good man, I'm looking forward to the 6th.

I've heard rumours of the tunnels, and despite blackmailing every landlord in Clifton, never found out which one they left from.

BTW, is it possible to make it a day thing too?, if so, it would be very easy for Mrs. Santa, baby Santa and I to pop down for a nice lunch somehwhere and meet you all - a picnic perhaps?

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Can't see it being a problem, particularly if the weather's good. Hell, make it a whole weekend thing!

A day thing sounds good. The Brissilites (and Santa) should think of a nice green space for us to gather in. We could even have a bbq?? I will happily lend a hand to the food, of course.

Fun fun!

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Mmmm... barbeque...

Does this mean I have to buy one?

Copper · **Superhero Extraordinaire**

Couple of disposable thingys?

Santa will no doubt bring a frisbee...

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Sounds like a plan!

hehe - was entertaining that very thought whilst drinking my tea this morning

Copper · **Superhero Extraordinaire**

So. Do we have a bbq space in mind?

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Well there's always the Downs, but I was thinking about a pub out by Frenchay Common - I think it's called the Swan. They're right on the common and serve booze in plastic cups so you can take em out. Problem is, I can't remember how to get there!

Susan · Tickle me, Elmo! I'm Roger Moore's Stunt Double!

This is sounding like more than a little bit of fun.

The White Lion. I was close.

Here it is. Can't find a picture.

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Well... the grand day itself approaches.

I propose that we arrange an appropriate time and place to meet - my own suggestion is around lunchtime at the White Lion in Frenchay where we can obtain sustenance and liquid refreshment (obviously those people wishing to take advantage of my accomodational facilities may wish to come to my house first! Directions to both locations are available on request!)

Subject to the weather, we can then spend some time throwing frisbees at Santa, while he and Stead debate who knows Bristol best. I think we can safely leave the afternoon and/or evening activities up to them to organise as they clearly know best!

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Copp suggests 1 or 2 pm. Any further advances?

Copper · **Superhero Extraordinaire**

Met office say it might rain on Sat. Shall we abandon the picnic plan?

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

We can save that decision for later in the week. The long range forecasts are never particularly reliable.

We can eat at the pub if we need to, but don't think that gets Calvin out of bringing cake.

Copper · **Superhero Extraordinaire**

Calvin's cake is yummy.

Hey guys, do I have a say in this? By the way the cake is just my back-up in case there are only dead animals to eat

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

It's ok, Cal. We won't be killing Stead this weekend. We're fattening him up for Christmas dinner. 'Power' Shake, anyone?

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

1pm, dudes. Be there or be a geometric shape with four sides of equal length and a similar volume of 90 degree angles in between them.

NateO · Vice JDK and Man of the People

Hopefully they'll listen, dude.

HaloBurn · **Dad** Yarrr...

So no tales to tell huh huh?

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Heh.

After a series of lame excuses and one no-show, it turned out to be just me, Stead, Copper and her housemate.

Stead and Copper argued the whole time. It was like they were married.

HaloBurn · **Dad** Yarrr...

Oh dear what were they arguing about?

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Where shall I start? Students, children, girls, politics, scientific studies, fags, fatness, shoes, whether or not I had a better physique than Stead (oh they argued that one bitterly)...

We all had a good time though. Except for the bit in the Three Brooks which was kinda **CUCUMBER**e. There are no decent pubs in Bradley Stoke.

Well, this IS a discussion forum...

It was fun, thanks JDK!

HaloBurn · **Dad** Yarrr...

Sounds like fun lol

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

What can I say? Fortunately they're both very reasonable people and were more than prepared to listen politely to each other's views before putting forward an intelligent and reasonsed reposte, without resorting to sarcasm or arbitrary dismissiveness.

...not...
