Okay...
Change of plan. The meet proposed for Brighton (previous date: 13th
or 16th Aug) will now be held on SATURDAY the 21st of August Nineteen
Ninety-Nine. This has been changed to make it easier for people to
attend [1] (go on, you know you want to... or I'll thcweam and thweam
until I'm thick...) and so on.

The original semblance of^W^W programme still stands:

10.30 am - meet at concourse outside station
11 am - meet outside pier
Then do whatever you like (preferably Brighton-related <g>) until...
2 pm - Lunch at Pinocchio's (opposite Dome booking office)
Do whatever you like. Bowling might be an idea if ideas run out, or a
trip to the Marina Virgin cinema or Odeon (Austin Powers 2, anyone?).
6.30 - 7 pm - meet at Queen's Head pub (or other suitable replacement) -
until whenever.

I shall, as far as I know (although I'm trying to rectify this!), be at
work until 6pm. A group of afpers (or just the select few who attend)
descending on Dixons [2] (front of Churchill Square, next to Miss
Selfridge <shudder>) would be greatly welcomed; the Playstation games
till is very boring on Saturdays. I will join the group, though, at some
point. (In fact, it would be nice if some afpers were around the general
Dixons area at 6pm so I don't lose you all (hah)... is that too much to
ask?)

If anyone needs to get in touch with me other than by email
(andIknowIsaidI'dneverdothis) - phone 01273 326311 (Dixons), or mobile
0797979 8766 (voicemail when turned off). Bear in mind that I hate
phones from the bottom of my heart, though...

B&B phone numbers available on request, and maps from

[1] It's easier for me, too, (selfish to the last?) despite the work
thing.

[2] Yes. I know. But, apart from the general being-Dixons thing, there
is no hope left at my place of employment. We sell... wait for it... Jar
Jar Binks alarm clocks. Would anyone like me to get them one? <cackle>

What? You're organising a meet that you can't attend? Nonono,
that's not right. Phone in sick, or get the day off. Hell, you
work in Dixons; why not just quit and be done with it?

A bunch of afpers decending on Dixons. Do you think the local
authorities aught to be warned? Get the riot gear out, and lock
away the overpriced crap, just in case...:o)

>If anyone needs to get in touch with me other than by email

Oh, they'll luurrrrvvve that, Dixons will. ;-)

Only if you promise we can sacrafice it in a large fire outside the
shop.

This was my cunning plan. But I was *really* off ill today, so it kind
of backfires... they won't fall for it, I know... I'm working on it,
okay?

I will, one day. When they finally pay me.

Shut up shop totally, then? If there's something there that isn't
overpriced, I haven't found it...

Hey, I'm on phone duty if I'm on the boring till. Chances are I'd answer
anyway... if the person answering the phone utters a stream of
unintelligible mumbles with "Jenniespeaking" as part of it, that's me...
:)

Could be worse, though. They could be *talking* Jar Jar alarm clocks.
Now, that would be a case for the Hammer...
