It's just across the road from the Continental Ferry Port.

pixi · 18-12-2006, 23:38

If I'm not doing the late shift or have an early shift the day after I may pop along just for the alcohol

Bring Mr P along too and book yourself in to the hotel, it's only fifteen quid!!.

pixi · 19-12-2006, 00:05

Do you think I'm that insane that I would go drinking with all you blokes on my own?

On second thoughts, don't answer that!

cheezemonkhai · 19-12-2006, 00:36

I'd be thinking about checking yourself in at work lass

pixi · 19-12-2006, 01:09

I would have to get in the queue with the rest of the staff

Mr P has just come home and informed me he will be doing night shifts on the friday and the saturday so it's a no go for us I'm afraid

**tfboy** · 22-12-2006, 11:47

Rooms are £26 a night now so if you haven't booked and plan to, do it now!

Decron · 28-12-2006, 01:06

1. Stu & Chrissi - Hotel Booked
2. Ben (& Mrs Bengie??) - Hotel Booked
3. Mr Fish - Hotel Booked
4. Des - Hotel Booked
5. Stu & Wendy, Wendys driving so not staying. (Konicatalk banned I trust)
6. Cheezemonkhai (Driving, not drinking)
7. Wiebo & Hayley (SWMBO) - Hotel booked, looking into the RR next
8. Jonny5ive - SWMBO booked to pick me up
9. Fluffmeister .... best I turn up will be in holiday in pompei
10. Decron - Hotel booked - hopefully arriving around 8pm

Opportunities to drink beer these days are few and far between. Who am I to turn one down?

Makefish · 28-12-2006, 01:14

Now that there is quite a few of us going to this I was wondering if you just wanted to stay around the hotel and drink/eat in their bar area or if you fancied being a little more adventurous and perhaps wander down to Gunwharf (or similar) for a few bevvies and a decent meal somewhere.

Your thoughts please ladies and gents.

Decron · 28-12-2006, 01:22

I am easy and as long as I have time to shower and shave then it's all good.

Snoopie · 28-12-2006, 08:23

I won't bother coming till the morning then

I don't finish work until a tad late. Then timing to get down, traffic etc.

Will leave it till the morning! Infact, I'll come down in the morning. Could come down but I'd get there late. Best to leave it till the morning, I'd be tired the next day too, So i'll leave it till the morning.

Cheers

WW_VRS · 28-12-2006, 10:28

When it's nearer the time I will have a word with SWMBO, not quite sure what will happen with my car so it depends on whether I've managed to run it in

So are you going to leave it until the morning then ?????....

Makefish · 31-12-2006, 19:44

One last little bump to see if there are any others interested?.

WW_VRS · 31-12-2006, 21:06

@Mr Fish - if I wanted to have two printouts, one set based on propane OFF, one with it ON, would that cause any difficulty?

I am going to get my car remapped 'custom' at some stage and I'd like to have benchmarks for both

(ps if this means pay 2 amounts of dosh that's fair enough).

There are a fair few on standby though and I don't want to stop any of those guys/gals from getting on the rollers because of me though, plus it might not be a bad plan to let the car cool off a fair bit after a RR run with propane

**VRStu** · 31-12-2006, 21:39

Shouldn't be too much of an issue as much of the time is taken up tying the cars down.

WW_VRS · 31-12-2006, 22:47

Ok - only thing is you shouldn't really run 6 runs in a row without significantly cooling down the engine surely?

**VRStu** · 31-12-2006, 23:47

They have some pretty good cooling in the Dyno room.

cheezemonkhai · 01-01-2007, 21:32

Could go bowling in gun warf then onto tiger tiger or somewhere?

IIRC there is a nice Pussy in the lobby of that place

cheezemonkhai · 01-01-2007, 21:48

I wouldn't say no to a nice lass, but i don't think that what you mean... oh and it's portsmouth

Makefish · 03-01-2007, 18:14

I have a real dilema!!, just been invited to a good friends surprise 40th birthday.....................on the 19th Jan

. Really cant make my mind up as to what I should do (I know where I'd rather be) but I don't think he would take it too well if he knew why I was'nt there!

. Bloody typical in that every other date in January I'm free!.
