Do I get to sleep with the fish - from a safe distance <!--emo&:rolleyes:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Depends what you mean by "a safe distance". They'll be pretty much all around you <!--emo&--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/laughing-fish.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laughing-fish.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Yep, the tanks will be surrounding you as you sleep <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo--> Don't worry though, none of them bite...much <!--emo&B)--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/cool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cool.gif' /><!--endemo--> We'll have to put a bit more effort into making up the bed for you guys though, we've never had twosies on the futon. <!--emo&--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/laughing-fish.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laughing-fish.gif' /><!--endemo-->

No I love fish, especially tropical ones, it's just I am better at killing them than keeping them alive, so a safe distance is more for them than me...



I think I'm jinxed ( <!--emo&--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/laughing-fish.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laughing-fish.gif' /><!--endemo--> jinxed) I want them to stay alive...

I can help with all that and anything else you need me to do.

Righty then, menu is prepared, snacks are purchased, drink is purchased and now I just have to get the house clean before the weekend!! Looking forward to having you to stay, let me know if you want ideas on things to see in Stratford.



JJ have you warned Zabz about how compact and bijou our house is? <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

He did mention that we will be very close to the <!--emo&--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/laughing-fish.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laughing-fish.gif' /><!--endemo--> ....

JJ got a 2 for 1 voucher for Warwick Castle so we are going for a visit. Has JJ done the info stuff on arrival times etc or will it be 'text' as we go?

Don't be silly <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->



I expect it'll be text as you go. We're pretty flexible and as long as you're happy to take us as you find us it'll be fine.



Warwick Castle is brilliant, you'll really enjoy it. It's one of the 2 touristy things we've actually done around here <!--emo&:rolleyes:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Boyz will be boyz!!!





My only point would be don't expect us before 5pm because I think we will probably be in Warwick Castle all day...



Don't tell JJ but I'll probably get him a sword and sheild to play with because he nearly stole one off his bosses kid..... <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

We've already got a sword here!



It's quite sharp though, and not really suitable for playing with, especially under the affluence of incohol.

Do you think I should hide it? <!--emo&:o--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='ohmy.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:unsure:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /><!--endemo-->

LOL - I did send a PM saying "we should probably talk about times and stuff"...



I think we'll text you when we've had enough at Warwick and have some idea what we're doing. I'd like to suggest we aim at 7pm for the very latest, give or take a few hours?



*note to Zabz - if I forget everything else, don't let me forget the rum!" <!--emo&:Aaarghh:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/pirate.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='pirate.gif' /><!--endemo-->



Also, are you guys free on Sunday for a while? We've got a couple of ideas for free stuff to go see together. I'll drive, so the Saab family can have a rest <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Sorted <!--emo&:aha:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/aha.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='aha.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I don't think we have anything planned, we aren't usually up for much on the Sunday after a night with you <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> so anything free that won't require much effort sounds like a good plan. <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Oh, and we have a brand new bottle of Lambs Navy Rum, two types of T'-kill-ya, absinthe and some red wine and a bit of beer, we have lots of snacks but no lashings and lashings of Ginger Beer <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> I couldn't find any in Spazda last night, and there wasn't any in Tesco on Monday either

I actually have a very few bottles of real beer left over from last weekend. I don't really drink it, so I'll try to remember to bring it! I also need to remember a sharp knife and cutlery for our picnic lunch at Warwick, and possibly some gardens out of the tomato. And my cool bag.



I just know I'm going to forget all of it <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->



I also have home-made ginger beer. It's nice and very fizzy, but unfortunately it upsets my tummy so I don't dare inflict it on you guys. I'll try to remember not to bring it...



I have to warn you... I'm going to be snoring my zed off on Sunday morning. It's a long week and I'll be totally pooped!

I suspect I probably did, but everyone was so tired I hope they slept through it <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->



Thank you The Reds as always for a wonderfully relaxing evening, and my apologies for needing such a "sensible" early night - at least compared to our usual 5am silliness <!--emo&:shame:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/shame.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='shame.gif' /><!--endemo-->





Anyways... the next date is Samhain! Probably my favourite festival, not least because it usually coincides with the extra hour in bed / partying from the clocks going back <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->



It's the last weekend of October. I expect there will be many apple related things; and possibly some pear related things if I talk nicely to the Wobblies and get my fluffy whatnots organised.



There will definitely be booze.



There's a very small possibility of a fire if we have surprise un-rain <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->



Zabz will be coming I guess around 6:30pm depending on the joys of public transport all joining up conveniently; earlier if one of us can pick her up from MKC.



As usual, anyone arriving before 4pm will be expected to help prepare. Before 2pm, you may have to wake actually me up - and no, the door bell isn't fixed! After 8pm you may miss some of the food and certainly some some of the booze!



Beds still available are one double, one single, one sofa and two rather comfy double inflatables if I can find somewhere to put them!



So, who's coming? Official invites when I get around to it, so probably the day before <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->
