picnic and the park and the ants

[Azul]

Instead of getting trashed on a forums drinks this time we could try and do something different.

with this amazing weather that fills our skies with some many colored pissing clouds. maybe it is time for us to talk about doing our stuff in the park instead of doing it indoors as we usually do.

I propose a weekend (bring some umbrellas) some food, ants and other crawling slimy animals and head to dulwich park for an afternoon of frolic fun.

we could prepare something for those who have pests(cough cough children), set some sort of boxing rink and put them all inside. bets and such. that way they will leave us alone.

who's up for some munching in the park?

A Forum Picnic? Splendid idea.

I say, one of me, twenty of you, I make that Pimms o'clock!

[SeanMacGabhann]

had one last year in Dulwich Park - plenty of people said they were up for it - in the end just citizen and mrs citizen, and I turned up - this year the rest of ye can go and shite ;-)

I'll need more convincing before I do that again

[KalamityKel]

SeanMac surely (oooo nearly did a VERY bad typo there) the "circle" has expanded somewhat since last year :p

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Ah, go on.

[SeanMacGabhann]

oh the circle was plenty wide a year ago - just lyin', cheati...

not that the pain lingers a year later

All joking aside, picnic is a splendid idea - count me in

[Michael Palaeologus]

It'll rain.

[KalamityKel]

just a bit of water to a... ;-)B)

[buggie]

I was there too SM - be it the other side of the park with my own friends and family!!!

Am thinking of having another birthday picnic this year - was going to do the 27th as its the nearest Sunday to my birthday but know there might be a few sore heads following the previous day's activities!!

Esp as you're not all stranger's anymore happy to combine - maybe with more peeps the rounder's match I thought of but never played might take off!

[giggirl]

Ahh ye will

[Bellenden Belle]

I think this is a splendid idea - I used to rather enjoy rounders at school - can't run for toffee but give me a bat and I will give it my best shot.

[Asset]

I'm up for a picnic in the park with attendant brats. Early August best for me.

[citizenED]

I'll be up for it again. Early August would be fine with us. I'll bring a frisbie.

Thanks to Azul for being the social secretary this year. It was a strain organising such a huge event last year, all that co-ordinating and hosting took it's toll.

btw Sean, CWALD was there too with beau and daughter, and Hannibal, (the Rotweiller?) who ate some of your impressive chicken!

Jeysus Sean.......make your mind up. I read on another thread you may not even be Irish! What's the truth?

[Azul]

he's not he has a british passport.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Thanks Citizen - can't beleive Mr SMcG could forget us!

The dog is a staff/pit type, not rottie - but he's sweet as a lamb, but is also a walking dustbin, so dangerous to unwatched food!

[Moos]

Great idea, I would love to come with Mr. Moos and the wee Moosling, who may be a walking dustbin by then. At the moment, he's just a crawling dustbin, particularly fond of cat food. :-S

[SeanMacGabhann]

good point CWALD - but I was never sure if you weren't just passing by at the time as I recall much persuasion on my part!

[hibbs]

I'm up for 'munching in the Park'

[Keef]

I won't promise, but if I'm not on a stag do or at a wedding, I shall probably turn up...

[Michael Palaeologus]

27 July is the day after the EDF Pub Crawl. Thus many people may be in need of a lie down in the park.

[Moos]

A few people were suggesting early August..

[Michael Palaeologus]

... or even early August would also be a super time to pic and indeed nic with chums, dogs and children.

[Moos]

So much nicer when we all get along, isn't it Michael?

(twists the arm a bit harder)

[Michael Palaeologus]

I was trying to be very, very good Moos-Poos
