Derby Event - June 11th at The Brunswick Inn, Railway Terrace, Derby

I've got my right foot on red and left hand on blue - what's next Flashmaster?

Not that Twister, the one i play is where you pretend to be a tornado and spin around the room.........i fell over a dozen times on Friday night. The Twister you're playing is only good fun if young ladies in bikini's play while you spectate, i thought everybody knew that.

What's the difference between a twister and a tornado?

Am booked in to a B&B called "Chambers House" in the city centre, costs £25 per single room. If Katrina or anyone else is thinking of staying over, it's a pretty small place. Does this Brunswick Inn do decent food at all?

Yes, Fish and Bert it will be brilliant to meet you both! I hope you can make it. The Brunswick has got a guest cider at the moment. It's 7.3% vol so surely no better reason to come to the do? Emma - any time you can come down to Derby let me know and I'll take you to the Industrial Museum. I promise it's a great day out! And it's free.

Does the Industrial Museum exhibit erotic women then, Matt?

From time to time, George, along with a huge engine from a jumbo jet.

I'll be there (at the pub, that is)

He's only taking me there to show me vintage Monopoly boards...and early examples of 'The Umbrella'. Jeff, you are very kind, mate!

*blushes* a girl loves to be missed for her monopolising skills

We can make a day of it if you like and take in The Eagle Centre too, if you like (*thinks of other all weather attractions with good parking*)

From the travelling Diary of Mark Brown, Year of our Lord 1889: "Floyd and I have booked ourselves into the esteemed Derby Best Western also. I admit some worries as to the mysterious nature of the group who shall be awaiting us, but Floyd assures me that the people of the flatlands have all of the modern manners and can be most hospitable once they have overcome their innate conservatism toward strangers. While I feel some trepidation at the rigours of the trip ahead, both Floyd and myself find ourselves in boisterous spirits. We shall be embarking from London at around the third hour tomorrow, travelling on the modern model of engine from the imposing edifice of St Pancras to Derby. I do hope my people have prepared sufficient provisions to last us. Travelling can be a most ardulous and troublesome endeavour."

Oh tis a veritable pyjama party forsooth

Blimey you're beginning to sound like alan partridge now Jeff/Matt/????

Oh sorry, I thought he meant he was donating you as an exhibit.

As the link some way above testifies Neil, they do serve "massive baps". Failing that, in the city centre there are two Wetherspoons that do decent enough food and beer - The Standing Order in the market place, and the Babington, just round the corner from Waterstones. Three days to go! Can't wait!!

Well I haven't got my own programme on hospital radio, Flash - YET.

'Massive baps', eh? Wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of those. *Checks train timetable*

I'll meet you at the station, George. I'll be wearing a pink carnation, a bottle green tie and a blue knapsack.

I heard a rumour that a well-known member is attending, incognito!

fuck/monopoly/need a slash/beer

doesn't bert count for ANYTHING with you storms??????

Bap = "large, flat, elliptical breakfast roll" (Scot and N Eng). Not to be confused with crumpet, George.

hello we are midlanders not too far from derby ... we could come ...

bastards

err, bert was included in an earlier slash albeit attached to a fish.

i think anyone who has moaned in the past about all events being london centric and who also lives within striking distance of derby and doesn't go ... is a churl and a cheapskate ... i have definitely moaned in the past ... therefore to avoid my own accusations of churlishness and cheapskatery i will have to attend ... i will make bert attend (and read) even tho he is a churlish cheapskate ... (how far are you from london then storms?)

i bet we will have a really lovely time ...

is Bert going to read? (I have a supplementary Q)

see above

you specialise in torture treatments then, fishbert?

oh, and I used to like you... ;-)

because you invariably either begin or end your posts with '...' and I find that soooooo attractive.

STORMY, STORMY, STORMY......... come on mate!

All rooms are equipped with:- Hospitality tray. (two biscuits) Hair dryer. Telephone/Modem Point. (taking laptop for aftershow report) Electronic security locks on all bedroom doors. (hmm ) Choice of bedspreads or duvets. (oooooooooooooo) Large lift. (handy) Porterage available 24 hours. (for getting rachel up to bed and also for getting her OUT of bed on saturday) Room service available 24 hours. (more gin) can't wait ... this was meant to be a surprise .... i reckin storms might guess if he reads this ... DON'T WORRY STORMS I HAVE USED BERT'S CREDIT CARD AND YOU CAN SHARE WITH HIM ... *packs curlers face pack and pink baby doll nightie*

I don't think his mate will be too chuffed if he does that Rachey.

Bap = ' large, globes (occur in pairs), used in roll before breakfast' (Essex) Not to be confused with food, Neil.

PORTERAGE?????????????????

Well, Derby may be not far from you fishyberty, but according to my trusty maplas it is 100 miles north and left a bit from me. and that is an awful number of beermiles let alone beerreads. Emma, Stuntpoetry is an art-form tried by many yet perfected by none. The Clematis manouvre is iconoclastic.

I do adore an iconoclast. Wilt can be very final...do take care...

Come on then Flashy Boy, are you going to put in an appearance? (sp? - er... can't be arsed to check)

Well that's stormy kitted out, but what are you going to wear?

what time is it starting? has anyone said? isnt drew going?

I will... I won't be going although the smell of beer is strong... but it's my daughters birthday on the 12th! beer/daughter/beer/fishbert/beer/insert your own slash here?

Oh... a thong and a dirty smile??????????????

i think bert should read as he never has done before and i think stormy should too as i have only seen him read once and he fell down during it ...

*has slash*

I'll only go if Flash goes (note my avoidance of the word 'come')

*Applies for job as porter at Best Western*
