Sorry for the short notice and the bypassing of usual channels

Due to the impending duel invasion (from far flung southern climes) of
Yorkshire, North Sheffield to be exact. by Tigger & Andy and Tachyon &
ScaryMELB.

You are cordially invited to a meet chez Andrea & ratty the weekend
30th September and 1st October.

The first part of the weekend will be taken up with general getting
together type stuff possibly including a BBQ on the balcony if the
weather
isn't too bad. Whatever happens a Tachyon type birthday shindig will
be
included. (whether he's there or not <g>)

Then on the Sunday, we plan to go to the Pudsey book fair, which has
yielded some good finds in the past.

Floor space and some beds are available on a first come first served
basis.

Anyone wanting more details contact Andrea on and...@rason.co.uk

That's "have" in the context of "being hospitable" not... in any other
way, John.

Nope, you're missing a vital bit of information..this is in effect
an #icq meet, so what you've got to more worry about is hugs
& cuddles & general insanity:-)
The chances are I shall be the most pedantic person there & since the
instant I start pedanting Marie (aka ScaryMELB) hits me about the head
with her stick you've got nothing to worry about:-)

Well I can't speak for the rest of them but.... erudite?? not me! And
if you wish to avoid pedentry, why the hell do you hang around in
here?? :-) Go on.. you have nothing to lose.. well.. nearly
nothing....;-) bring booze.. and chocolate.. and I'm sure you'll fit
right in :-) /me is bringing homemade white chocolate ice cream....

it'll be full of intelligent people that range from incredibly
articulate to entirely tongue tied...many AFPers seem to cover the
entire range on their own...often within the space of a few minutes

Even that doesn't work.

I tried it at the CCDE pre-meet in Ipswich, I ended up helping to build
a chair which was promptly pulled apart.

( OK, so the bit I put on was upside down )
