Fed up of the cuts? Fed up of the mislead bigotry? This is your sanctuary. Unwind. Vent. Pop over to the frothers thread if you feel like getting organised and doing some proactive stuff or just chill out with a cup of builders tea in a polystyrene cup.

Welcome.

I am lolling at my writing this:

"And maybe a fund? A little tiny fund where we could stick, like a quid or two - up to about five for the better off to use for drinkies"

HA HA HA!

Spent too long on the RW threads today, people.

What I actually meant was like a little fundy/accounty thing where we could all stick, like a quid, two quid, a fiver in whenever we've got it to have a whip fund for some drinks and maybe some helps for accommodation if necc?

Righty Ho then so we're thinking That London then?

If we start sorting it now for Aprilish time then (not Easter obv) then we should be able to pick up some deals on Premier Inn/Travelodges and also on Train fares.

London would be fine, I can go on coach if enough notice as that's only a tenner or so.

ValarMorghulis · 24/01/2012 19:27

gosh you are so organised Shirley

ShirleyForAllSeasons · 24/01/2012 19:25

And maybe, like a daytime thing? So we could do a nice cheapy lunch somewhere and those coming from afar could get a £29 Premier Inn if they want to?

What do you think?

And maybe a fund? A little tiny fund where we could stick, like a quid or two - up to about five for the better off to use for drinkies and helps for the rooms and shit? Not charity or anything - just like a whip sort of thing? DYKWIM?

ouryve · 24/01/2012 19:25

Um, down with that sort of thing.

No burgers of curry, please. I've just had a M&S pizza and salad

Might pass on the wine, too. Had some of the wine that SIL gave us, last night and my tummy hasn't been quite right since then.

I can set DS1 on the ignorant masses spouting "the overwhelmingly popular opinion" that the government keeps referring to, though (since when did popular opinion make anything right?) He can froth enough for all of us. Might not make much sense, though.

II'm a probable definite - shall we call to the frothers too?

When - ish? some weekend after Half Term?

I am happy for London but fear that this may be too far away for some of us - Shall we do a Saturday and FAAAR into the future which will reduce trainfares MASSIVELY?

ValarMorghulis · 24/01/2012 19:21

I have never had sloe gin.
I am a bit rubbish at drinking really.

Though i have made skittle vodka and it was awesome.

thanks Shirley. I was more annoyed that i had let this thing cause mea physical reaction to something she has written in the nether. She is no one. I don't know her or care what she thinks really. So to be so angry i slammed a door was the signal to step back i think.

not least because i am normally MNing from work Blush

TeWihara · 24/01/2012 19:18

I will come if our car doesn't fail it's MOT on Friday.

And it's in London.

(I am somewhere between Oxford and Milton Keynes these days)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 24/01/2012 19:16

I'm up for it, and will aim not to drink as much gin as at Christmas. Yeah right Grin I'm quite good at travelling too

Envy at your sloe gin

I absolutely ADORE sloe gin, I had this handy bottle on the side in my kitchen and I just used to swig out of it. No wonder it's empty. Grin

Do you make it Shirl? My friend does and hers is bloomin lethal!

OpinionatedMum · 24/01/2012 18:55

Where do you all come from then? I'm in Plymouth.

Some of my favourite words only have 4 letters Grin

ShirleyForAllSeasons · 24/01/2012 18:31

Oh Val. I often descend into four letters, and I have just decided to completely ignore those who I believe to be too stupid entrenched to even bother providing any sort of remark other than veiled - or unveiled insults and myths.

I have also decided that it's ok for those people to hate me, or think I'm an arse - I'm not, and the people I give a shit about think I'm pretty cool. DYKWIM?
