The formatting is less nice, but there's an HTML version here.

Thanks!

Now I can decide when the best people are there and when to go!

AGA are you there for all of it? awww, feck!

:p

AGA · Sat 08/07/2006 21:47:03

Shut up, or you'll only be allowed to stay ten minutes

Pumaman · Sat 08/07/2006 21:57:57

There'd better be some sheep around this time.

Stand back ladies, Mr Jones is on the pull...

Well, it's looking like I won't be able to make it to Brittens this year (Although the sheep do sound tempting). Heard from my solicitor that I have a completion date for my house move on the 31st July, so I can see myself being halfway through a nervous breakdown by the 3rd week of the month and certainly very skint.

Still, I will be there in spirit and look forward to seeing most of you at Mittens. Those of you who won't be coming to Alicante, I will get you copies of the AGS Annual one way or another.

Unfortunately the Irn-Bru bars have been discontinued, and these "Wham!" brew-flavour bars have took their place.Ã,Â And as with all marketing gubbins they're "New and improved!".

Well they're not.Ã,Â And they're nothing like the Irn-Bru bars of the day...so I've complained to McCowans.

Let's put it like this, you eat an Irn-Bru chewy bar you think of the Irn-Bru drink.

You eat one of these "Wham!" brew flavour bars and you think of a supermarket branded "Iron Brew" drink.Ã,Â Aka: a cheap knock-off.

Regards,

Yickle.

P.S. I couldn't find any Chupa Chup orange lollies.Ã,Â Apple, various versions of strawberry, cola and others...but no orange.Ã,Â So I got you two more generic orange lollipops.

Privateer Puddin' · Tue 11/07/2006 20:31:51

Cola is good. Lack of Irn-Bru upsets.

LimpingFish · Wed 12/07/2006 00:32:51

And so, the dream dies... :'(

Due to passport delays, it now looks like I won't make it to Brittens. Not when I planned to anyway. If everything is cleared up before Brittens ends, I may be able to make an appearance during the later stages, but seeing as things haven't been going my way regarding Brittens, I won't make any promises.

I hope everybody has a good time, and thanks to Pumaman for offering to pick me up, and to AGA for hosting. I was looking foward to stealing some silverware from his house, but alas...

YicklePigeon · Wed 12/07/2006 20:46:02

Fish: if you can make it great, there'll be a lollipop waiting for you. If not, I suppose I could always mail you one

In other news, my camcorder arrived and it's quite the cute lil purdy thing! I'm not entirely sure The Law will allow usage of the camcorder at a karaoke venue (I'm thinking copyright law amongst others) so we'll just have to see about that. But I'll be recording for everything else and when I get back home I'll transfer it to PC.

So for the time that I'm there, y'all will have "YicklePigeon Goes to Brittens 2006" by the end of the month.

Regards,

Yickle.

I know it may be a little last minute, but if I have a few spare days next week I may head down for a day or two if that would be ok, it's only Â£25 and 2 hours or so for me to Cardiff.

Anyway I gotta wait till tomorrow, maybe Saturday to find out though.

Doubt I will be able to because a new store has opened where I work and everything is UBER busy, I'll get at least two days off I'll try and swindle / bargain with the manager to get 3 days off so I can spend two - three full days with you people.

No one wants to sleep with me :'(

AGA · Fri 14/07/2006 00:58:49

We have set up 24-hour webcam feeds from the Brittens-Brother House. However, as there are currently only two of us here, there's not much to see. If you're lucky though, you might get to see me sleeping later, since both cams are in my room currently.

Cam 1 (AGA currently)

Cam 2 (Disco currently)

As you can see, Disco gets the well-lit, less blurry cam.

Alynn · Fri 14/07/2006 07:26:26

It no worky.... and I was hoping for some quality porn...

Disco: Oh AGA, I didn't know you were in here.
AGA: Yes I just got out of the shower.
Disco: Here let me help you dry off
*cues music*

Pumaman · Fri 14/07/2006 19:26:08

Hmm, something's not right:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=1424

They're predicting hot, sunny weather for the whole of Brittens. We can't break with tradition like this...

YicklePigeon · Fri 14/07/2006 20:21:55

Well, I'm all packed up and good to go! Weeeee! \o/

Regards,

Yickle.

Privateer Puddin' · Fri 14/07/2006 20:43:54

I bought a bag which i will pack on monday

Renal Shutdown · Sat 15/07/2006 09:52:09

I'm all packed up and ready to rock.

Look out, Swansea, here I come.

Privateer Puddin' · Sat 15/07/2006 10:55:35

Heh, I wouldn't put it past you.

Disco · Sat 15/07/2006 13:25:15

Yay, Brittens starts today ^_^, though Creed, scotch, and other guest have been here since yesterday, and myself the day before that.

Also, I'd like to mention how fun Magintz-hosted Iverittens (say it five times fast) was. Tier was in attendence as well. After extracting me from Heathrow terminal 3, we went to a pub in Magintz's village, then a Pizza Hut and cinema in Uxbridge to see that new movie about pirates. Here are some images from the unwinding process-

Playing the AGS meetup staple Texas Hold'em

Tier is obviously photoshopped into those pictures, he never goes to an ags meet! Â¬Â¬
