Nice

Turned out to be a nice day - lovely weather and lovely ceremony.

photos

hiya, did anyone take photos of the naming ceremony, if so could we have a copy please?!

ta muchly

hope you all had a good time, thanks for coming.

some

we took some... i will get them uploaded when i am at my computer (not this one)

Fee

All of my photographs are copylefted.

photos

is that a yes or no?! (you had your fee on sat...beer, wine and cake)

.

I used my 35mm camera, you will have to wait till I get them developed.

photos

thankyou everyone - much appreciated!

Problems

I am trying to post some pictures up - but the site won't let me (file too BIG!) even after I have resized them.
What's your email address kerri? I will email them to you - if you want to put your email address without the @ symbol you should prevent any spammy stuff .., i think... is that right, Joe?

Yup

That should work fairly safely.

I can change the maximum allowed size thing but I think the real problem is the permissions have got messed up again so it can't actually save pictures on the site properly. I'll check that when I get home. It's really annoying that the hosting company seems to keep changing the permissions once I've set them up properly.

A can of whup ass

Can't you kill someone? Will that solve the problem?

Whoop Arse

I'm not sure it will help much but I bet it would be fun and actually quite satisfying.

Yep

It was good fun and a nice day out, I'm still not convinced Finnley has any idea what his name is yet though.

Wedding

Yeah it was. The wedding I went to was rather cool too. Although the hangover I had this morning was horrid....

How not to cycle to the pub


View Larger Map

6 uneccessary miles

annoying

just cos we are having the party in a pub doesn't mean it's a piss up...you have jumped to the conclusion that we will be pissed and that we are crap parents into the bargain....... up to you if you want to drink or not surely.

and the reason i need to know if josh is coming is that we have ordered food for him if he isn't then we can cancel 1...common courtesy really!!!!!

just tell me if he is or he isn't, not hard is it????? aaaaagggghhhh

why are you being so annoying? not turning into David are you??????!

Tongue and Biting

.

No Can't Be Done...

I can't hold my tongue any longer....must resist....&*(&(^@@@""£!!""£

me neither

me neither *&&*^&%^$£$£$"£$£%&*( to you too!) see you tomorrow, leave your rain cloud at home please xxxxx

Light Rain

BBC say "Light Rain!"
Met Office say "Heavy rain, Windy!"

Stormy

From the Met Office: "Unsettled with either showers or more persistent rain at times, some of which will be heavy with a risk of thunder. Breezy at times."

Snow

I hear there is also a chance of blizzards, heavy snow and fog.

Lizards

There is probably a chance of lizards too. I wonder what the chance of a family wedding style punch up is?

Enourmous Sky

Where there's TV's there's lizards. The Lickeys are practically infested with adders so there is a good chance of stepping on one of them I expect.

Uh?

Where there is TV's what?

I do not understand?

Mr Riley ?

I've come about the television. I hear it isn't working ?
Well it's working but it's full of lizards.

...

Mr Lizard, Mr Lizard, Mr Lizard Tee hee hee

Uh?

I still don't understand but think you mean TVs and not TV's.

Lizard Lizard Lizard


I can't find Fixit Girl on youtube which is I think the funniest one but I like this one too


Ah.

Now I get it....

Personally I thought they were a bit strange and thought the fixer one was that funny.

Lizards

The lizard one is funny though.

weather

hi dan - have a fun time, if you get time go to Chaouen, beautiful place in the mountains, northwest i think.

WEATHER - stop being big girls, the met office has not issued any severe weather warnings for sat, it just says there will be a heavy shower...hopefully that will not be around 11 til 12. just bring a coat and a brolly if you don't want wet hair. I'm sure the cava will help us feel happy, if not think of the pub afterwards.

Richard - is Josh coming? need to know for party bag

cheers

Party bag

Do we all get party bags?

party bags

if you would really like i one i will be bringing spares!!!!

?

Then why do you need to know if Joshua is coming or not? Like I've already said if this is going to be a piss up (which from you posts I'm guessing it is) then I'll leave him at home.

You

can use my bike if you like Rich

Sorry Kerri, but I,ll be missing the festivities as I am in Morocco

For the lastweek it has been warn and sunny in all placzs i have been

I dont like arabic keyboards. Everything is in the wrong place

Borrow Your Bike

I would DIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Anyway I have sold it.

Come in number 8

We're all going to die at some point you know, there's no point trying to run from it !

Extreme Weather

According the the Met Office there is a 60% chance of extreme weather in the West Midlands on Saturday.

I'm Bear Grylls

And I'm going to be perform a HALO INSERTION 3 days prior to the event. A HALO INSERTION is a parachute jump but it's INCREDIABLY DANGEROUS, luckily I am an EXPERT. If you were to try this yourself YOU WOULD DIE.

I will then be living on FRUIT and NUTS and NATURAL FOOD from the Lickey area as I show you HOW TO SURVIVE in this deceptively EXTREME ENVIRONMENT. First I will URINATE all over my clothes to deter bumblebees, hedgehogs and other PREDATORS. I will attend your ceremony but I WILL BE HIDDEN so you WONT SEE ME. I will show you how to DROP FROM TREES on small children to secure a CLEAN WATER supply and then I will show you how to MARCH TO SAFETY through REDNAL and RUBERY.

I'm BEAR GRYLLS, and I'm FUCKING MARVELLOUS. See you soon.

Bear Arse!

You are not Bear Grylls Joe.

Latest Weather Forecast

Heavy Rain.

hehehehehe

there will be 8 of us looking after Finn so we should be okay thanks!! you don't drink whilst looking after Josh?!!.....you must be at least 10 times over the legal limit the day after one of your binges..... we need to know if you and Josh are coming or not, preferably before Saturday you miserable old git!! ha ha ha

is Dan still away? i take it he's not coming either?

have a nice day, enjoy your cocoa

xxx

Eight Drunk People....

In my limited experience of alcohol I have found that eight drunk people are powers of eight times more irresponsible that one.

I shall be coming but am not sure about Joshua. As there won't be eight drunken people looking after him and I quite fancy a pint.

Dan is probably sleeping in some shop doorway in Alicante now I guess...

Also

I'm sure Joey can eat Joshua's part of the buffet after all he'll need the energy for his ten mile cycle home.

Sounds good

I'm sure to be hungry

Also Also

I can be as many times over the limit as I like, I don't drive and being hungover is not the same as being drunk!

sat

Richard - you are not under any obligation to come if you would rather go to the festival you know. Won't be offended...so stop making it sound like we're forcing you to come! just let us know if you are not planning on coming cos then we can cancel yours and Josh's buffet. cheers

weather forecast doesn't look good but you never know they could be wrong (i hope)

The do in the pub finishes at 6.30 and then everyone is welcome back to the house for more alcohol.

Jow it may take some time for Paul's dad to put his hand in his pocket...may need a back up plan! we are planning on getting another cab to the pub (again we have 8) using the same company. if you want i could ring the cab co and ask if they have a bigger car and then you could come and pick us up....though we want to be there for about 10.15 ish to set up(will prob have a drink before the ceremony starts so you are welcome to join us)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

More alcohol back at your house! Isn't 8 hours 15 minutes enough drinking time? You do realise its against the law to be drunk in charge of a child under five years old. ;)

I doubt whether I'll bring Joshua if this is going to be a boozy affair because I don't drink when I am looking after him.

2 Many Taxis

I think I'll definitely cycle, it's only 3 miles from the visitor centre to the pub and a good half of that is down a great big hill so that should be fun and I can have some excercise, if it's not raining.

3 Miles

It's further than three miles back home and up a huge hill too.

Yes

But by then I hope to be blind drunk at which point it's easy to cycle as far as you like, or at least as far as Longbridge station.
