well I thought I'd better get report to group

Attendance Dragon Prince Grumbledook MrO CC Supermouce (hug) Gid & Suzi.
Spirti spirits mum, R Barry(the official sad bars***D) & THe AFPhantom.

Grumbledook picked YHN up from his humble abode and together travelled
to the site of the alledged meet. On ariving CC MrO and Supermouse were
found to allready be in residance. Gdook then preceaded to get the
drinks in. SuperMouse requested fruitjuce and had her second loozer of
the evening. talk turned to chocholate as Maya gold and that rether
potent 98% cocca stuff that CC can obtain was produced as was a bar of
Lindt that to YHN's eyes looked more like an offencive weapon than a bar
of chookie!

Gid and Suzi appeared aproximatly 30 minuites after we arrived suzi
producing several bars of the better stuff. gid was in his element on
discovering the pub had several (eight IDB) real ales on hand. Gid
settling for Timmy taylors Landlord ( a good Choise). talk was talked
and subjects were geeked. Spirit and her Mum arived and Hugs were
exchanged.

around 9.30 a ghostly angel in the form of the AFPhantom wofted through
the door of the establishment.
helos wer given and recived and moor old toot was tooted.


the non drinkers were knocking back the Looza's and those imbibing were
enjoying the ales on offer. several beer menus were borrowed for
historical referance and YHN hopes to post a cpy on the web at a latter
date.

to give an Idea the pub has 20+ belgian bottled bears available along
with a simmilar number form other parts of the world 5 house draught
ales and upto 6 guest. and a range of over 40 singlr malt. truly a
drinkers paradice on earth.

for those wondering the Looza is a 100% natural fruit juice drink but
well you know afpminds and all that stuff.

around 11 the meet broke up with thoughts of MK3.0 the next day and the
exploration of bletchly park whitch in YHN eyes is well worth a visit if
only to fondle old putes or see the loft where Turring and co came up
with the first computer (dependant on definition etc).

A second Northampton Meet is planed for latter in the year. more
details to follow.

Me, I'm afraid... It'll be up later in the day, Glod willing. Sincerest
afpologies;
I haven't been able to read afp for more than a week now (at least, not for
more than a minute at a time) and I have no idea what's going on at all!

I hope you 'll forgive me - this isn't mere laxity on my part as I've been
searching for new employment after news of my imminent "downsizing".

At first I didn't mind 'cos I thought it meant they were going to make me
normal height, but as it turns out they're instead going to take my job away
which will doubtless make me even taller as the weight comes off my
shoulders :-)

Perhaps they should have called it "up-sizing"?

I will soon be back with a vengeance as a born-again newbie, as I have
pretty much decided to stick this job out until the end and then go and live
in a cornflakes packet in Victoria Station. There I shall earn my living
by
burbling about angels to itinerant Merkins until they give me lots of money
to go away again. Whoever said that Pterry's books weren't educational?

I will be a Mutterer, and a damn good one :-)

Yours exhaustedly,


AfPhantom

Oooh noooo! *hug*

(Would this be a good time to start canvassing publishers for a huge
advance on your brilliant book?)

Hope you get another job soon <worry>.....

Me too! <double-plus worry>

Serious comment re book: - Can you afford to starve in a garrett while
publishers *discover* your talent?

I would say it's the first breakthrough that is most difficult. Can
you do something part-time / temp. while you write? Please note,
this is a Serious Suggestion!

We *Lurve* you Phantie!

*Hugs*
