I'm not at the UCE for two reasons. First is I'm thick and the second is I left full time education a long, long time ago! :D

I've got a funny feeling I may be the oldest on the forum. :shock: :oops:

I only thought of a full day out if it ment traveling any great distance. Would like to put faces to the names though. You give me a time and confirm the place and I'll be there.

What about these window stickers by the way?

Thanks.

Bob.

Starting to loose interest a bit. :) Saturday weather wise looks the better day. Sunday is more sunshine and showers (Infomation via the BBC, never wrong!).

So Saturday, 12:00 ish, Hare and Hounds, Minworth. Thats the plan!

Is anybody likely to turn up? answers on a postcard please.

If not then I shall wait for somone else to do the business and I will meet up with whoever at that one. :D

I'm not gona be able to make anything really during the afternoon, I need to do a couple of niggly jobs on the 360... I need opening windows in this weather! I'd prefer if it was evening... DeKay also mentioned something about The Green Man in Harbourne that could be good?

I'm potentially busy in the day on saturday too, I'm free from about 4 onwards though!
I mntioned the green man for a couple of reasons, mainly though that if it's sunday then it'll be quiet as i don't think it shows the football!
saturday would mean we don't hae that problem! but also there's the fact that it's got a big car park and it's not that expensive, and it's also more accessible than the hare & hounds if there's only going to be brummies there!.

Ok then The Green Man, Harbourn, Saturday, late afternoon, evening! This is hard work! :D

Is that OK?

Not got a clue how to find it but we can overcome.

What time thats the thing. I'm assuming it's open all day.

The Green Man is on the corner of Metchley Lane and Harborne High Street. It's at a cross-roads with traffic lights at the eastern end of the High Street (opposite Blue Coat School). Dead easy to find.

Last time I went there on a Sunday it was quiz night, so quite busy as it's a popular pub. The car park is usually full of M&S shoppers' cars during the day (because their car park is tiny), but this shouldn't be a problem on Sunday after 4:30pm.

(I'll be in Plymouth)

Hate to say this but after all this I can't make it this weekend :( :oops:

I don't know what to say. Well miffed. :evil:

Sorry if I've let anybody down but the reasons are well outside my control and however which way I go at it can't be helped.

Next time! (soon)

Shimon340 can you send me that message again. Ta.

Knee's and motorcycles don't mix. Mini's are very hard at 30 mph!
