Oh ok then if you insist...........

[chris yeatman]

will check my diary.

[Gutsy]

Can I pre-order as I know the menu so well? Would be rude not to turn up to the Bugatti Club .....

[Rally]

My diary says I should be away on a p155 up of a weekend! My super sunshine will have to wait unless I can make the weekend in that area some where......... :D

[Char]

Such a lot in Wilts & Hants for a weekend if February, think I can make all three?

Ah yeah, quite right but wait, hang on a min.......... how many Wilts types turned up on bikes????? Including the ones who live but a spit away from the cafe....... :mand: :running:

[uksurfer]

I'll try to move the meet to Loomies, its definitely alot easier to get to for the Hampsters....
They might even turn up on there bikes :D

Bickering, bickering.

I've come up with several answers to this problem.

We could take part of Hampshires name and 2nd part of Wiltshires name to show the joining of two great counties, so as hampsters were first to get going we'll take the 'Hamp' bit from us and the 'shire' bit from the good people of Wiltshire.

We could just call ourselves 'The South'

But when it bolis down to it the further west you seem to move the less reluctant for the inhabitants to leave their area, 'hail mighty swindonia'.

Besides you were all happy to come to the Hampshire Christmas do, no bickering about who you were then?

I say all this with tongue firmly in cheek, find a decent cafe anywhere and I'll try and get there.

Cheers
Stuart

that might need further explaining, especially for the people from Wilt-shire

Have a nice day :mand:

Ahh, yes well, you see that does take me back, to a land before plumbing and the world throbbed to the sound of air cooled.........Am not adversed to these new fangled things. I mean you don't need to carry a Thermos around anymore.

Ah but self defeating old chap - y'see apart from our esteemed area rep, no other kettles were on parade on Sunday....... so Thermos (with cork stopper, natch) was still required.......

Rough shag refill? what, what.........

[Liz]

I was merely jesting in the first instance about the cafe being in Wiltshire! :rolleyes:

(Note to Stafford: next presents for Stu and Gordon - flat caps and whippets!)

[JerryT]

Well I'll do my best to be there (wherever that is!) - I've got some friends' joint 40th birthday bash the night before so a bit of fresh air might be called for in any case!!

Cheers All!

Aye oop...... nice tartan Thermos would be nice........

[Stafford]

Here you go just for you Gordon (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VINTAGE-1970-TARTAN-PLAID-VINYL-LUNCH-BOX-THERMOS-/150277441738?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item22fd3bc8ca)

Nice matching travel rug perchance??

[chris yeatman]

if the weathers dry and ice/snow free
there could be a chance of seeing the s4r on the road. :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

You mean like Haltshire or Wimpshire????

I wouldn't bet on it this side of April!!!

[bex]

Ahahahaha, 'Wimpshire', now thats funny.

[Gordon H]

Ahahahaha, 'Wimpshire', now thats funny.

Oh dear, nothing like stoking up a bit of tribal rivalry............

[Char]

Could be worse - could be Wilt Shire

[Rally]

As the counties both end in 'Shire', we should take two of the first four letters from each and keep the Shire. Why not take the 'Wi' from Wiltshire and the 'mp' from Hampshire.

Yes you have worked it out; Wimpshire. Let's face it, we all come by car in the winter. Lol ;) :D:D:D

There's only one question, who wants to be the rep for Wimpshire? Answers below please.....................

[Gordon H]

Ahem - I beg to differ!!!!!!!!

[AndyC_772]

Hope it's warmer than it was yesterday... I did a 70 mile ride in the morning just to blow away the cobwebs, and spent the whole afternoon on the sofa with my heated jacked plugged into the mains trying to warm up again :(

[Char]

Could be a record turnout - best make sure we get the free juice this time :spin: Martin :spin:

[Albie]

Good to see you all. Lovely breakfast when I finally got it ;);) and nice roads around there with no potholes. Great too in a car with rigid spings. Thoroughly enjoyed the drive but wouldn't have enjoyed a ride today thats for sure.

[Char]

Yes and we nearly made it away from the car park on the right side of the road

[chris yeatman]

Well just thought we'd let some Wilties have the bragging rights for a change....... normal service will be resumed next time out.

[scrapps]

It was nice to catch up with you all and bag a bargin along the way.
Cheers to Albie for driving us up in the Alfa a fantastic little car that packs a awsome amount of power for its engine size.:thumbsup:
Maybe next time a few more kenties will join us and we will be on bikes.

Glad to fly the 'turning up on a bike' flag for Hampsters! :D
