[jonnie]

No prob thanks for letting me know :)

[GreigJCW]

I'm going out later to buy rolls and burgers to cook tomorrow, if anyone wants one or two let me know ASAP and ill buy extra. (Bacon possibly too) :)

[MINIme:)]

Oh my god :wtf: I thought it was next week :lol: ...and I've tripled booked myself :argh: got too many brilliant things going on at the moment I don't know which way to turn!! I was / am going to be our elf's co-pilot :excited: I'll need to see later tonight whether I can still come :sad: superb day for a picnic and all and I was/ am looking forward to some other high amusement as well. hmmm... :scratch: Totally need another week in my week these days to fit everything in

[weefossy]

Is this a "Clubie" only run?..........:D
Joking apart Rob, if you have managed to copy the floor covering, I'll bring The Van and I can bring back the blue cover. Will probably be easier to get the little BBQ and chairs in as well.
Only problem is that I might not be able to keep up, as mine isn't a "Super Cooper" like Duncans and Crombers.........:hand: We can be "rear gunner" instead of Captain (Stu) Sensible.
Apologies, but we just got back at 5.00am this morning and kitchen is still out of action, so no baking from Mom. She has bought some steak and rolls, so we won't starve.

[ELFMAN]

I was going to be our elf's co-pilot :excited:

CHICKEN!!!!!! (I'm not using that 'Chicken Smiley' - it's p*sh). I should've been in touch and reminded you Jo, seeing as how you've gone simultaneously popular and senile... Ah well, you won't be needing the Emergency Sandwiches I bought, or indeed the Sickbags. So I can eat all the scran myself, get car-sick and throw up in many bags. Every cloud has a silver (albeit vomit-filled) lining.

Seriously, I've had to pull out of two NMS events recently due to over-booking myself, so I know the score :argh:
You're still a bit of a numpty though.
We should go 'halfers' on a BIG DIARY :book:

For an added NMS 'Sympathy Vote', I'd just like to say that I was supposed to be going to see the 'Star Trek' movie with my old pal Mark tonight, but he had thought it was tomorrow we were going and has booked himself and his girlfriend a nice meal out. Is everybody trying to tell me something?
Maybe I should take more showers...:idunno:

[MINI William]

Malcolm are you wanting to meet? We are leaving the house at 9 then going to Dreghorn for fuel.

Malcolm I have made a copy will bring it with me the morow but you don't need to bring the cubbie I will roll it up and tape it so will fit in the foot well at the back it's up to you ;)

[weefossy]

William, will meet you at Dreghorn at 9.15am. Rob that's great. Will decide in the morning which car to bring. Think the Van deserves a wee run out!!

Aw no! sorry to hear about star trek :sad: you were well looking forward to that.

yeah my memory is crammed.

:chicken: :p

[d.oxley72]

Have a good day folks. Looks like the weather will be good.
I'm now off to hibernate before my next nightshift later today.

Re.Elfman: Star Trek: Into Darkness is good fun. The only thing that spoilt it was having to watching the film in 3D which I have trouble with.

[RobSco]

Hope you all have a great day out on the Picnic run... :sunny::cool: ...Looking forward to seeing some photos later... :camera:

[Craig]

Great to see you all again this morning. Sorry we can't be on the run Rob/Christine but I'm taking a day out to look after Mrs D.

Also great to catch up with friends old and new. Some still appear to be quite friendly even after turning up in a Paceman PMSL
Zoe had a great time and was wondering when her next mini adventure will be.
