Badminton anyone???

[Michael Palaeologus]

I cant do Thursday - sorry.

[giddygecko]

Em you are a little star thank you sooooooooooo much :)

I have two racquets & lots of lively shuttlecocks. Either Thurs or Weds is good for me as I'm on earlies next week but yeah ??? is a factor we all have to consider after Xmas *sigh*

Cheers GG

So, what shall we do? I guess the first thing is to find out if they have courts available next week.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I could do Wednesday depending on cost.

When I said stop smoking, I only meant while I'm on court!

My muscles are trembling in anticipation. Is there a turkish bath/crash team in ED?

[bagpuss78]

lol

I'll find out cost today and availability

looks like we can all do wednesday, hoorah!

[Michael Palaeologus]

We may have to retire to a public house to replace vital bodily fluids afterwards.

[bagpuss78]

Excellent idea! :)-D

[bagpuss78]

Found out how much it is! ?9 so ?2.25 each, bargain i'd say! that's for an hour, don't think i'd personally last any longer!

what time are people thinking? I was thinking 7/7.30?

[giddygecko]

Thats very reasonable sounds good to me, so thats Weds 16th @ Harris Academy Sports Centre? (wherever that may be?) for 7 or 7:30 at ?2:25 each? Fantastic, I will bring both my racquets & some cockys ;-) SHUTTLECOCKS you filthy degenerates!!!

Cheers GG

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Prefer the earlier slot if noone objects. Thanks for sorting that out.

[bagpuss78]

As soon as MP gives us the nod I'll book it!

Look at us all healthy and stuff >:D<

[giddygecko]

Thanks Bagpuss, how much is your booking fee? A pints of CPTs finest ale?

See you Weds ~ Oooooooh advanced warning I am LONG sighted !

Cheers GG

more important than you realise: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=GBQ214KGRON21QFIQMFSFF4AVCBQ0IV0?xml=/news/2008/01/09/nbeer109.xml

Is it on?

[bagpuss78]

Yes, i couldn't officially book it last night because you can only book it a week in advance, so tonight i can ring after 4.30 and it will be done. she said it's basically booked but she can't put it in her computer....so i have to ring again tonight...blah blah blah

so yes 1900 hours next wednesday! >:D<

[Michael Palaeologus]

Excellent. I will oil by bat.

[bagpuss78]

I will oil my joints

[giddygecko]

Hee hee I will check my strings & feathers & roll a joint..... Nope sorry I am thinking of something else completely haa haa JUST JOKING ;-)

GG

[bagpuss78]

Now they're bleedin' saying you have to pay in advance, so I'm going to go up there after work tomorrow and sort these scallys out, it will happen!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Thanks Bagpuss - that's mighty good of you.

[bagpuss78]

The arrow marks the spot

[bagpuss78]

all in a days work for the mighty bagpuss! :-S (I think someone may have put something in my tea)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I thought bromide went out with national service! Will you be wearing a red carnation?

[Michael Palaeologus]

Nice one Baggy - I will buy you a Babycham on Friday night.
