Ok so after have the chance to get up to Uberstaff and meet all the loverly Irish folk that went, ive decided that they are all so nice that they should be visited very soon.
If not only to steal more staff trix
So far they have kindly offerd places to stay, but are not sure on numbers but we are all grown ups and ive started this here so we can be a little organised.
Im thinking the weekend of the 17th June we fly over and come back on the Monday , then we can have much harcore spinnage on sat and sunday along with much tea drinking and doobie making
Call it a tribute to Uberstaff
So what i would like to know is who in ireland can make it to Dublin that weekend, and who in the Uk wants to come with me
So far the list of the UK attacking team is:
Frodo
2bags
Strugz
Dunc (in spirit)
Birgit
MCP
Skully
Vixen
Nate
So any other takers? flying from gatwick return will be max £40 if we book in next few weeks! the earlier we can decide the cheaper it will be!
Let the dissciussion begin

Ado-p, strugz, & skully !
Sorted
How's about this for a plan of action:
Thursday night - beers with Ado-p, UCOF and others
Friday night - beers with everyone whilst excitedly preparing ourselves for Miss Molly's arrival
Saturday/Sunday - Tara. camping and spinning and smoking and drinking and general sillyness.
Just an idea. but then again most of my ideas involve beer and smoking so any other input greatly accepted

Matty as we are going from the same airport how about we take my 4 man tent and we split it between us for the weight factor. Its one of those big ones a bit like UCoFs but not quite as big as his. It has two compartments and a middle bit. it will easily sleep 6 if needs be and no one minds being a bit cozy with people they only just met Nate and Beccie are coming from Cardiff airport too. It seems silly for us all to try and take tents especially as we will spend so little time inside them. I mean we aren't planning on sleeping all that much are we?

lads, sorry to pee on your parade..... but we can't stay at tara the whole weekend
it's a national heritage site and officially we're not allowed to camp there. it's crawling with tourists during the day, especially the weekend so close to the solstice
a friend of ours knows the caretakers and has permission for us to be there under the condition that we have respect for the place. i don't think tourists stumbling over our tents during the afternoon would go down well at all. i really don't want to go taking liberties
however
if i get a couple of people with cars to come out with us, we could take the tents down during the day, stash them in cars, and pitch them again at end of day....

Hey lisa, have you spoken to johnny about all this? He might be cool with us arriving back at his place.
I agree we can't camp there all weekend... ermmm... how do you think your neighbours would react to a few tents in the green space outside your flat?!!!
Anyways, if it's ok with you, I can drive down to yours on the Wednesday and we can share some trips out to the airport (or town) for collecting peoples.
Aidan, when are you coming up?

Nice one Fluffy
Really looking forward to meeting you.
Clare, I reckon i'll be up on the sixteenth. Staying in or around tara for the solstice (great idea about taking down the tents and keeping the place all spanky and tidy fabby) and then heading to belfast for a week or ten days to play in the circus school.

seeing as i have this whole issue of not currently having a job to ask for time off work, but planning on having a job by then thing, i thought i might get some tickets leaving late friday evening & going back monday very early or sunday night!
This would mean i would not be able to stay on Tara on sunday. Would this work Faberge/dublinites??
If so i reckon i'll buy flights as soon as i get money in later this week.
does anyone suggest an airline other than ryanair that would take me and my stuff from london??

*will ask ryanair if he can get a later flight that night instead with the lovely miss Hells*
Im already soooooo excited already!
the best bit- I will know half the people there
Just a few points I would liek to raise:
"Its one of those big ones a bit like UCoFs but not quite as big as his." Skully, ive told you before.......
"***waits for UCOF to make similar comment***
where is that boy today": I was asleep when you posted that, as I was most of today actually.
"Guess who's gonna get the bus n ferry?" Dale Winton?
"ok so where did the tent list thingy that strugz suggested go ?": If you could post it in the word association game, that would be the best place
SOON! (ish....)
