Be easier if we work round your shifts

Post by: therealjr on November 18, 2012, 05:31:25 PM
Believe me it isn't. Only needs someone to ring in sick and I have to change my shifts.
Give me a date and I will make sure my oppo keeps it clear to cover any issues.

No idea where the place is?
Can't say for sure as we very often visit grandchildren.
Title: Re: Forum Xmas drink
Post by: therealjr on November 26, 2012, 10:22:43 AM
No idea where the place is?

Spa Lane Vaults is the Weatherspoons pub on the junction of Spa Lane (obviously) and St Marys Gate
It's opposite the entrance to Rykneld Square where the Tourist Information Centre is.

Post by: Slacker on December 06, 2012, 11:08:50 PM
Come along, I'm sure someone will buy you a drink or 2. Don't want to be patronising but we know of your difficulties from other threads.
Title: Re: Forum Xmas drink
Post by: therealjr on December 07, 2012, 08:02:12 PM
As things stand I'm on a 12-8 shift that day so I may be later rather than sooner unless I can persuade someone to swap with me.
Title: Re: Forum Xmas drink

Seems I'll be stuck behind a steering wheel - shan't be there (again) :(

Post by: emmz on December 17, 2012, 07:51:55 PM
I could still be at mil's on the date by the looks of things, I cant be assed to get from one side of town to other, plus not really sure whats in store I promise one day i will meet the rest of you.
Title: Re: Forum Xmas drink

Title: Re: Forum Xmas drink

Had a lovely evening with a really great group of forum members - lovely to meet you all, you made us feel very welcome - wish we had had more to eat during the day cos the 2 1/2 glasses of wine went straight to our heads. Just had some cheese/biscuits and a glass of water to soak it up.
Sleep tight   :)

Was nice to meet a few new faces  :)
CChris, OC and Keith.

And some of the regulars, Pete, Slacker, and Aitch.
Plus, sorry Aitch, I always forget your hubby's name  :-[

I'm sure normality will be resumed to Our_Lass in the morning.
For some strange reason she decided my name was clunt on the way home in the taxi.
Might have been my hearing  :))
Anyhow, once we'd dropped OC and Keith off,
she stopped trying to hit me and calling me silly names, and went to sleep  ^-^

OC just text me, thanking me for the evening and meeting up with other forum members.
I'm humbled, well, part pi**** actually  ;)
Now if that isn't how a local forum should be, what is ?

PS. The mixed Grill with the free drink works out about $6 each. Burp fart belch, hic 
I can't find the pound sign on my tablet's keyboard  PMSL

Night folk. Roll on another year  ;)

Sorry to have missed the get together, as I said before on a previous post at the time I was on a plane between Hong Kong and the UK.
The good news was that on the plane the booze was free, so I had a few (few????) and wished you all a merry Christmas and a better New Year.
I know I haven't been posting as much as I used to do but after the operation I should be up and running.

Sorry I couldn't make it, as some of you may know we're having problems with the Mother-in-law, not only physical - she has been diagnosed with early onset of dementia and she seems to keep drifting in and out of 'sanity' (for want of a better descriptive term. This also explains my lack of posts over the last few weeks (although it seems more like months!)

Sounds like a decent turnout and that you all had a good time (due to me being absent?)  ;)

Here's hoping to attending the 2013 'do'!  :)

Sorry to hear about your MIl Alsatian, my mum was suffereing with dementia and we were all suffering along with her, just to help her to stay in her own home was tiring and both myself and two brothers suffered ill health in one way or another. I gave up most of my work to be there for her and my brothers certainly did their bit as well. We found it easier for her and us to just go with her (if you get mt drift). Enjoy her whilst you still have some of her (again if you get my drift) Hugs to you all
