Oh, the hell with it. Whitby will be fun.

...if I ever finish packing, that is. Anyone seen a stetson boot?

Organised

You mean you havnt got all your oufits ...for each day and evening all laid out on the bed ready for packing......:)

Re: Organised

[mrph.livejournal.com]

Of course not. Most of my black clothing is still in the laundry bin, there's a mountain of junk obscuring the floor of my room and I'm still not quite sure what I'm wearing to WGW.

Red frilly shirt one night, I think. The leatheralike top with buckle-up front another night. T-shirts for daytime wear. And beyond that, it depends what I buy at the bazaar...

The straitjacket's staying in Coventry this time, I think. It's probably safer that way.

STILL in the laundry basket!!!....I mean its not like Whitby sneaks up on you.....:)...well at least its a nice day for getting your washing out on the line....:)..Im almost glad Im in work...:)

Re: Organised

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

I have the same laundry problem. Tonight will mostly be spent ironing I suspect. :-(

Re: Organised

[belladonna-9.livejournal.com]

I loath ironing......:(.....

Re: Organised

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

Me too. But it will be the quickest way of getting everything dry in time to be packed.

Re: Organised

[belladonna-9.livejournal.com]

Hang it outside its lovely...and you probably wont have to iron it if you hang it up nice and neat...:)

Re: Organised

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

I suppose so. I keep forgetting it will still be light when I get home.

Re: Organised

[belladonna-9.livejournal.com]

*shakes head*.... so when do you need to be packed by?

Re: Organised

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

I'm leaving on thursday morning. Probably quite early.

Re: Organised

[belladonna-9.livejournal.com]

I see...next time I think I might hire myself to unorganised Whitby travelers.... I could organise wardrobes..do washing... pack....I mean how useful would that be...

Re: Organised

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

Very. Unfortunately I fear not many of us could afford that kind of service.

Re: Organised

[belladonna-9.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm..maybe I could do it on sort of saving stamps...50p a stamp and a page of stamps = all laundry ...or something like that...:)

Re: Organised

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

It could work. I'd charge in pints though. ;-)

Re: Organised

[belladonna-9.livejournal.com]

No because then I would have to try and stagger about trying to collect them...:)

Are you going to venture to the Mercat May 4th....:)

Re: Organised

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

I might very well do. Is there a band on?

Re: Organised

[belladonna-9.livejournal.com]

Yes there is and Morph says he is going....

Re: Organised

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

Wow. I think he mentioned something about it to me, but I can't remember the details. I suspect I may get press ganged into driving. ;-)

Re: Organised

[belladonna-9.livejournal.com]

There is no need to drive its only pub hours Mel normally just gets the train....

Re: Organised

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

Useful. In that case I shall be there, barring natural catastrophies and marmosets on combat drugs.

Re: Organised

[belladonna-9.livejournal.com]

well Im not accepting Marmosets as an excuse...even if they were crazed on combat drugs...you could fit about 50 in your pocket......

Re: Organised

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

Would you accept rabid porcupines as excuse then? People have been threatening me with the snuffly death of a thousand spines for quite a while.

Re: Organised

[belladonna-9.livejournal.com]

Depends how many of them there were...I mean I would expect you to me able to cope with one or two.....

Re: Organised

But I have padlocks....

Reminds me must pack tuning fork.

Re: Organised

[mrph.livejournal.com]

"but" and "that's because" aren't usually interchangeable, y'know...

Re: Organised

[giolla.livejournal.com]

They aren't?

Re: Organised

[mrph.livejournal.com]

No. Honest.

Not even in haiku.

Re: Organised

[giolla.livejournal.com]

That's only 'cos they've got different numbers of syllables

Indeed it will.

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

There will be much bouncing and drinking of beer. There will be fine bands, and random conversations with people we've never met before. Ther will be 2 bags of grass, 25 pellets of mescaline, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, 5 sheets of high power blotter acid, also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a cse of beer, a pint of raw ether, and 2 dozen amyls...

Sorry. Shouldn't fall asleep with my headphones on and 'Fun With Drugs' on repeat.

Re: Indeed it will.

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

I can understand that. What with beer being an essential part of WGW it would be a Very Bad Thing(tm) if you couldn't drink. Personally I recomend Green Chartreuse as a good cough medicine. :-)

Re: Indeed it will.

[mrph.livejournal.com]

Which reminds me - must visit Alexander Wines when I'm in Earlsdon this afternoon. And must stop via Inspire for lunch on the way, too. And must leave... er... about now. :)

Re: Indeed it will.

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

Both ver good plans. I thing an Alexander Wines run might be in order for me on wednesday.

Re: Indeed it will.

[mrph.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm definitely taking a bottle of Talisker. Whether or not that's classed as "good stuff" is up to you... ;)

Re: Indeed it will.

[giolla.livejournal.com]

I'll only have powers, and a drop of single malt.

Re: Indeed it will.

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

I still have a bottle of Laphroaig and an 18yr old malt I can't remember the name of. Oh, and half a bottle of green. I think they will all be making their way to Whitby.

Re: Indeed it will.

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

Or you could just get one of those tesco own brand bottles of gin. The scary ones with a plain white label with 'GIN' emblazoned acros it in big black letters.

Re: Indeed it will.

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

Tastes kind of like very sweet cough medicine, but with 55% alcohol. Kills colds dead.

Re: Indeed it will.

[belladonna-9.livejournal.com]

Is it like Absinthe...?

Re: Indeed it will.

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

Kind of, except that it actually tastes nice.

Re: Indeed it will.

[belladonna-9.livejournal.com]

You mean you dont like the taste of Absinthe?..actually I cant remember what it tastes like...:)

Re: Indeed it will.

[mrbear.livejournal.com]

Absinthe tastes nasty, but has a large effect. Whereas Chartreuse tases nice, has only slightly less of an effect and is about half the price.

Re: Indeed it will.

[belladonna-9.livejournal.com]

Ah!!..I may have to investigate further.......

Re: Indeed it will.

[mina-laury.livejournal.com]

Also, by offering people a choice between absinthe and chartreuse, you can tell whether they're a bigger fan of Anne Rice or Poppy Z. Brite.

I'm on antibiotics, so will probably not be partaking of either, though the leaflet doesn't actually say don't drink... but it's folk wisdom, innit?

Re: Indeed it will.

[mr-tom.livejournal.com]

hehe.

Actually, I have a sweet recipe for an absinthe/chartreuse cocktail. I think it would be nice with a little Benedictine in as well...

That just gives me images of louche persons in cassocks wandering up to random goths and muttering 'Have you got a little Benedictine in you? Would you like one?'
