... You know it doesn't snow underground, right?
:whistle:

Re Spar mine.
Would it be 'in order' to bring my 2.
Nia's been before but I reckon Olly would like the trip?
Won't be offended if its a no.
No problem Frank .... do they have Lids ?
....Might go to the Spar mine myself instead of Pearl shaft .... might just cause Mike and Holly to do the Spar instead .... :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
Ian
Yes they got stuff. It depends on if we get sorted with school stuff. If we are coming we'll be there for 6.30. I

I know but when your driving 30 mph on the A55 due to zero vision, it's pretty darn scary :S
Ian[/quote]
"Zero vision" ?
:whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
Yes Ian. When it snows heavily visibility gets more difficult. Perhaps you could ask your chauffeur about it! Lololol :-)

Ian has a chauffeur!!!!!!!!! How cool is that.
WTF .....
I have no chauffeur :unsure:
And, again, "ZERO visibility" ???
:whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

:whistle: :whistle: :whistle:[/quote]
Depends on where you measure from. If from the windscreen then zero is accurate, however if measuring from the eyeball then it's depending on distance to your windscreen 1-3 ft visability ;)

As much as I accept I am an accountant and I might be perceived to have a better grasp of numbers;
Am I the only person that understands, exactly, how much "zero" actually is ?
:whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
Just spoken to the dude re parking. As always, can we all park down the far end.
Just a thought... I'm sure I've seen MM rocking a UCET mug (If I've dreamt it they're only about £8 from vistaprint)
Perhaps we could donate one to the collection at The Oak as a thank you?
I was going to go to the spar mine but if there are only 2 takers for the pearl shaft trip I will make up the numbers on that.

Yes Doug, I'll bring some tea and biscuits then everyone would of wished they came to pearl!!!!
I'll have a couple of mugs too. Perhaps we could see what a sensible minimum order quantity is and get an order done? I guess its worth getting a few to get the cost ratio down with postage etc...?
I'll get on it...
As for "zero visibility" I'll go with ants measurements, from windscreen outwards. (I was not driving with my eyes closed)
The old dudes are no longer up for it, I'll still be there though...
Bugger
unfortunately daughter stuck at school doing 'things' and I'm on collection duty so I won't be there
You and me Sweetie ..... or do we cancel it ?
:dry:
Ian
PS. I have been in there before ..... :whistle:
Shan is going Spar Mine too isn't she?
I have no idea :huh: :dry: :ohmy: :S :blink:
She told me via text on Tues evening she was doing Spar Mine.
Yeah, Shan is going.
3 of us then ....... :dry:
Cheap round then. Cup of tea, Diet coke and whatever you're having :kiss:

Drag him along kicking and screaming if required.
The new musical caving band "UCET ME ON FIRE" will be holding auditions in the Glan afon pub on Thursday the 24th, after the trip, if you want a chance of becoming a superstar then Come along. Give your details to sweetie ( lead guitarist) on the night, may the force be with you!!!!!!
Oh shit, forgot that happened! Just got back in from the shittest (sober) night out in Chester ever! Might dust the lap-steel off to annoy the neighbours with a bit of "Great gig in the sky"
I did make it quite clear I haven't played for some time didn't I? :dry: I've not played well for even longer! We need Tim in on this. Beautiful keys arrangement on this song...
Here's a young(er) me in action:
