All new HAPPY THURSDAYS, Guildford poi/juggle/arts nights

That one has to rate in the top 5 of Toast moments... the story still makes me smile

Mutter mutter mutter...

I stood up all night yesterday without any problems.


Still - awesome turnout last night. Getting near to 30 people now, most of them even spinning/juggling :o

Hey Durbs,
I came to take a peek in this thread as you suggested! Do many people turn up just to watch? As a noob, it'd be kinda cool to come and watch people spin, but I'd worry about people going 'who are you, wierdo? go away!'

I'll bring my poi, but I'm a bit embarrased since I can only go forward and backward, and hit myself in the arse half the time..

anyway hopefully make it down in a few weeks

Yep yep - it's all very informal - just turn up, spin if you want, watch if you want, give verbal abuse to Lex/Strugz (this is obligatory) - that kind of thing.

I don't think we've ever told anyone to "Go away" except for possibly some of the ducks.
And Lex.
And Strugz.

So yes, come along any time.

cool cheers . It's a fair hike on the train, but I'll try and get down. Sounds like fun..

Is everyone Happy Thursdaying this evening? Weather is pretty pants in Amazingstoke....
Please cheer me up by telling me there's been a heatwave in Guildford, and I should pack suncream!!

Oddly, it has been very hot - strolled to Tesco for lunch and it was glorious. Clouded over a bit now, but is still pretty warm.

I'm not there tonight, but I'm sure others will be

I'll be there tonight...

I will probably be a little later than usual tonight... I've got some stuff I need to sort out.... but will be there, with my suncream

Correction: I'll be there when/if it stops raining. forecast says it will, not that that means anything.

Hope you lot had a good time in Guildford. We went to Sunrise and that turned out to be a pile of [censored] - rained off and cancelled!!! I can't be there next week either as I'll be in Spain but defo the week after. Hopefully strugz will be there to hurl some abuse at instead...

Hmmm - it's actually a rather nice day

What are the chances...

Hi all.... just wonder who, if any are braving it tonight?? I was probably going to go regardless... x

Well, BBC weather says it's not going to rain all day... the fact it's currently pissing it down outside (and I work in Guildford...) suggests otherwise.

Regardless, I'll be there straight from work.

Oh er, just so people know - there were a LOT of kids around last week (non-spinners, think it was end-of-exams) and the table next to ours got busted for smoking naughty things. No cuffs, but certainly slaps on wrists.
Look busy, and try and keep naughtiness subtle

Also, the river is an "Alchohol control zone" - it's not illegal to drink there, but if the police ask you not to and you continue to drink, you can be arrested.
Not that we've ever been asked not to drink or had anything other than positive experiences with the police, but it's always good to be informed

the rain has reached Midhurst, but stopped now, and the sun is out again.

I reckon i might pop along tonight. There straight after work you say, Durbin?

Yep yep, though not sure what time i'll be finishing - mentally busy

Conclusion:

Bring umbrella
Leave explosives and other things that may invite negative police attention, at home....

Sorted.... see you later

For those not on the mailing list (or those that don't read it):

Hey all

I’ve just been given 30 grandstand tickets for Cirque Surreal (www.cirquesurreal.co.uk) in Stoke Park for tomorrow night, for free! Woot!

If you would like to go along, please let me know ASAP, if we get over 30 people wanting to come, I can probably get hold of more.
Doors open at 7, with the show starting at 7:30.

For anyone interested in circus performance, this is a good opportunity to see some pro’s doing their thing, on top of which, it’s a free night out!

If you want to come – give me a ring or drop me an e-mail and I’ll give you the reference number needed to pick up the tickets.
I’m not too keen on just putting the reference in here as I know I’ve got more than 30 people on this mailing list, (especially plus partners!) and don’t want people showing up and not getting a ticket.

To get in the mood, perhaps we can meet on Stoke Park, just across the road from the circus at 6/6:30 – also if we turn up as a group we should all get to sit together.

Don’t know what time it finishes, but there should be time for a play afterwards as well to show them how it’s done ;-)

Let me know ASAP

So who else will be going to stoke park at 6?

I might have to be there a lot earlier...

Hmmm...

On second thoughts, not so sure about tonight...

Having a touch of the crazies, today. I'll let you know
