We actually got sacked in a roundabout kind of way from his band... a story for another time :evilgrin:

Sacked? Why because you knew the tune and he didn't. :grin:

-
Not for this one, but perhaps the next one :grin:
Theres a massive amount of work to be done before I can get it back on the road. About 3-4 weeks and Itll be ready :evilgrin:
-
Diary free work wise this time but it's Mrs TT's birthday and i'll be at the pub 1 mile down the road from the J&H as I promised her a bite to eat. Did think about just bringing her along to the J & H but i'll have the kids too (plus I doubt Mrs TT would be too impressed with my cunning plan! lol
I can't believe hopw few of these I make considering it's about 3-4 miles away from me :surprised:

Am I missing something here?? :signLOL:
A MK5 GTi meet and you not only turn up in a car with dog skin for upholstery but announce it's to save fuel?? :evilgrin:
You'll be trying to tell us you're cutting your carbon footprint next!! :driver:
-
in fairness stu i too was coming in the white goods
assuming they are going for a spot of dogging ;)
-
in fairness stu i too was coming in the white goods
I thought you had a legitimate reason - Apart from not owning a GTi of course - Didn't you say the Rocco was at the doctors??
If that's the case then you can be forgiven for bringing the roller skate. :evilgrin:
-
My reasons for saving fuel are...
Big expensive mod coming up
and
restoration of the Mk2 is eating my money!
I do have good reasons :P
-
I do have good reasons :P
And they are?? :evilgrin:

Oh shush Stu!
All will be revealed in good time :party:
-
Ohh come on... spill the beans!
(but i presume its brakes!)
-
Im saying nothing :evilgrin:
-
Im saying nothing :evilgrin:
Ok.. so which ones are you getting? 4 pot NQSBBK, VW Racing or AP Racing?
-
If you don't drive it you may as well sell it :evilgrin:

He own's a Pirelli, well SWMBO does. :wink:
-
Likely to be VWRs
Haha! Dont worry, its getting driven plenty
It is possible I may be coming in it though as I am likely to be picking up a Mk2 tailgate en route now! Wont know till tomorrow mind you
-
Which bank are you robbing... PM me if you prefer! :signLOL:

In that case he too has no excuse unless he didn't get permission to drive the tyre.

I had originally planned to visit JKM for some dyno work, then meet up with a few mates and then hit the J&H meet on the way back. Except one of the JKM lot is on holiday this week, which messes things up a bit.
Given the car has a squealing belt, it may or may not be ready by lunchtime. In which case I'd have to abandon plans.
-
Just outta curiosity, how long do these meets last?
-
We are there till about 10-11PM generally
-
Hi guys,
Sorry to say that I am going to have to bale on this tonight - have work commitments until about 10pm :sad1:
Dawaine - You can come over at the weekend if you want to check SPS/VCDS.
Dom

.
Unfortunately I have to bale out too - I have to stay at home all day and so won't have time to travel.

That leaves only 4, possibly 5. Tables are booked but should I cancel?
-
Does almost seem a bit pointless for us to drive all that way for only 4 people (that is, saying everyone turns up)
Certainly for those such as myself that have to drive 70 miles to get there!
Perhaps we should rearrange to later in the month?
-
With only four, I'll probably give it a miss. Got an offer of free food closer to home!

I think id have to agree on that one. Sorry chaps :sad1:
-
I'm up for going somewhere else where the food is better!
-
Well this is a washout. Might stay home and wash my hair. :grin:
-
May be worth cancelling entirely Robin, as I'm not 100% sure I can make it now (work, natch). Maybe we could reschedule for next week? With any luck the weather will be better by then as well (pouring it down here now).
-
I'm up for going somewhere else where the food is better!
There are options locally to J & H. :party:
-
Tis the only reason I never put my name down. Got nothing else on tonight, especially hair washing!
-
.
OK guys, I've now cancelled tonight's JnH booking.
Simon seems keen we try somewhere else.... Any suggestions buddy?
-
Blubeckers @ The Leather Bottle.
Shoulder of Mutton @ Heckfield.
There is another pub on the left just down the A33 a bit towards Blasingsmoke, etc, etc.
-
especially hair washing!
:signLOL:
-
Nearer to the b'smoke would suit me but I can sense you are about to mention WM's Ian :evilgrin:
-
GBK :innocent:
-
GBK :innocent:
Is Mr E available??
-
WTF :grin: i dont understand all your coding!
-
WM's - Wagamamma's (Ian's second home)
GBK - Gourmet Burger Kitchen ( Ian's third home)
Mr E - Another person.
-
Ah i see!
I grasped the Mr E :signLOL:
-
Mmn, GBK is pretty good. I'd be game for that!
-
GBK :innocent:

Dunno mate not asked. :sad1:

Yes to WM's but probably not to GBK. The Rodent Lovers site is probably further up the list than GBK. :wink:
-
Topless dancers place I hear :party:
GBK ftw :rolleye:

Same as Carl. It pays to advertise. :booty:

So are we doing it then - The clock is ticking :evilgrin:
-
my thoughts exactly :laugh:
-
Yup I need to know if it's happening or am I staying in to shave my balls :laugh: :evilgrin:
-
Should I be concerned?! :signLOL:
-
Only if we start asking you to apply the moisturiser :love: :grin:
-
I see :love:
-
Does this help the petrol saving financially challenged make a decision?

Hahaha :signLOL:
I wont be coming im afraid...My welding bits have arrived now, so its a night welding the rear wheel wells on the Mk2 instead
Ill see you all next time around :P
But im sure you can find someone else to apply the moisturiser :signLOL: :signLOL:

You tell me. I'm still sat in work. :sad1:

Nice to know there'll be no stubble burn. :confused:
-
I take it the August meet is a no go? Peeps on hols and what not...
-
I'll go if we can get a crowd
-
Maybe the 11th would work?
-
I'm likely out whatever date it is... ramadan and long evenings mean I can't eat 'til like 2100... :sad1:
-
11th is a very good possibility for me. As long as the wife approves my leave pass :grin:
-
^
Would someone else take over organising this meet, please?
I've got other commitments/problems and won't be attending for the foreseeable future - Enough said.

Hope your ok Robin...
11th is a no go for me as im in London for a few days..

Thanks, I'm okay, Steve (you never know what's around the corner). I'm in studio tonight but will phone and have a chat in the next day or two.
-
Hope it's not bad news Robin!
-
Me too,
I hope all's well and if there is any help you need, do please shout I'd be happy to support if I can help :smiley:
-
^
Thanks, guys :drinking: - Very much appreciated. The problem is financial. So not much help anyone can give as we all need to hang on to whatever money we've got!
-
I'm glad to hear its nothing health related robin. :drinking:
-
Hope all works out for you Robin. Financial problems aren't nice to deal with
-
I'll buy your new iMac Robin for £50 if it helps out :evilgrin:

:signLOL:
Hope you don't have to tighten the purse strings too much Robin.
-
^
Thank goodness I bought the new iMac when I did! I'm now living off benefits for the foreseeable future but at least I own my home without a mortgage etc and my daughter's education dosh is ringfenced. No more car mods, but none needed!
Am getting much more back into my music creation now my home studio is back up and running with the iMac hub, and I still have the strong connections at my very good friend's 'proper' recording studio. Turning music into money is famously difficult but I chase the vision and just hope some dollar may follow if Lady Luck smiles on me (again!).
-
Not good to hear Robin, but at least you are in the enviable position that nothing is at risk beyond your ability to spend! Maybe we should organise a meet down closer to you that can save you the petrol money :drinking:
-
^
Yes, I don't expect to be posting anything in the Recent Purchases thread! My net disposable income works out at £9 per day, so that has to cover all my food and V-Power. Fortunately I only eat one good meal a day so that's not compromised. It's weird because I'm eating the same as before and am 'talking' to you on a brand new 27" iMac. Still, I've been through downturns before but my age is now against me.
Thanks for the words of support though, folks - It does help :drinking:
-
Thats not a lot Robin, hope you can get some one off jobs to boost the finances. :sick:
-
If I can amke the next meet up, I'll buy your dinner if you can afford the V-Power to get there :wink:
I remember how flat I felt when I resinged and realised it's best to get a job first ! I'm sure you'll put your hand to something, what about setting up a web mail order VW performance parts business ?!
-
I, for one, am well up for a meet nearer to Robin's gaff as Dorset is a lot closer to me than bleedin' Basingstoke. Might get some decent scoff, too!
-
Not good to hear this Robin as you say though at least the house is paid for and your daughters education looked after. I hope things start looking up in the near future. :happy2:

Alex might know somewhere in the Poole/New Forest area. I'm on the West Dorset/East Devon border but that's a really long way for everyone else.

Forum party at RR's house? We'll bring the food and booze. You just bring the VAG babes!!!

We will have to have a think on a good location. It'd be a real shame to stop our meets as its really good to catch up with everyone
Ideas anyone?

Funny you should mention my pond.... I've just arranged to do a photo shoot with the 22yo singer buddy I regularly hang out with. I told her a bottle of Jack Daniels and a big bar of dark chocolate (her favourite tipples) around my hollywood-style swimming pool (small wildlife pond).
-
...when would this shoot of photos be...?

Likewise :happy2:
-
x2 I'm up for somewhere new as well but not too much farther away please.
-
Well shall we keep it around the same area, or loser south/west?
-
Why not see who's coming and where they are located. When we have 5 we'll find somewhere that suits best and set it up ?
I'll start Boxmoor, Hertfordshire HP3 9** (I don't think giving full post codes a great idea)
-
Ill be coming from Poole/Bournemouth BH12 ***
-
depending on date (if im not on holiday) Woking
-
RG21 here
-
TW14 here
-
Ermmmm down Sarff. So19

HA2.... :smiley:
-
Looking like start of the M3, anyone know Staines, Chertsey etc ?
-
Too far for the likes of myself and Alex p if your thinking that far up.
-
Is Berks / Hants / Surrey really that lacking in decent meeting places? :confused: :signLOL:
-
lol im on wat ever lads dont mind abit of travelling :signLOL:
-
Could go a little further South ?
Reading was 40 odd miles for me
-
i hear Swindon is a great location to meet :happy2: :signLOL:
-
I live RG24. There is another place about a mile down the road from the J&H..... Longbridge Mill
http://www.vintageinn.co.uk/thelongbridgemillsherfieldonloddon/gallery/

That's 52 miles for me, but if it works for others I'm okay ? - Robin, the offer for dinner for you from me still stands ! :party:

If we sort out a location, how about a whip round quid or two each for RR fuel fund :party:

I'll cover the grub :happy2:

You have organised all of these events in the past so it would be a shame not to have you involved! There would be an expectation of good banter on your part :signLOL:

Not been on here much of late with car issues but can i come :signLOL: :party: :party: :drinking: Will be bh22 so same area as Alex p

If you guys can decide on a venue I'm happy to organise and book it. :happy2:
-
just keep me posted guys as i've got a bit more flexibility for making these and hook looked rather nice :happy2:
-
Somewhere near J&H would be fine with me. I'm coming from work so it's GU16 so Basingstoke is OK. Don't really want to go much further as I usually work quite late so coming over for the meets is an early evening for me :)
Also agreed on the Robin Fund :happy2: can't do one of these without you Red!

im easy lads and am happy 2 help with red leaders fund :happy2:

Shall se give Longbridge Mill a go then ?
-
can we have this after the 21st or after as I am in France till then :ashamed: or can I suggest the 21st as the day its a Wednesday :popcornsoda:
-
Wednesday works well for me,
We could try a new location and a new day ?!
-
.
I've modified the thread title and my first thread to reflect what's going on.
So decide the date and place folks and I'll further modify and keep the list updated as usual :happy2:
Let's try and accommodate Richn83's availability and go for the 21st - I want a music chat with him.
Longbridge Mill? Just as far for me (200 miles round trip) but moving location area might reduce numbers coming.
-
i wont make this month or October due to saving pennys for Las Vegas in Oct,have a good night chaps and hope to see you
at a JKM or sometime in november or maybe a christmas dinner arrangement in December
-
or maybe a christmas dinner arrangement in December

For seven or more they call it a "party" and I have to fill in a Party Form and say what we're celebrating! Er, I'll phone them about it but am in recording studio this evening.
I've sent a "Booking Enquiry" by email.

Robin, if you need any help booking the Longbridge Mill, i'm happy to help. I could nip in there and complete any forms if they need all that.
I hope to make it - I'm in Weston Super Mare that day but hope to get back at a reasonable hour to attend
....Thanks, Phil :drinking:. I've filled in the form as Hedge suggested and am waiting a reply. Best to keep it simple for now and I'll PM you if your visit would help.

Just noticed this... please scrub me off the list, I can't play out until december :sad1:

I shall be in the good ol' US of A, so have a good un and let me know what the new venue is like! :party:

....Is that because you've been a naughty boy using 95 RON? :evilgrin:

I sent The Longbridge Mill a booking email several days ago and have to say I'm disappointed I haven't heard back from them yet.

Not good! Shout if you want me to visit and book it Robin - I pass it frequently

BAD NEWS!
First they said they won't book an unspecific number of seats. Then when I suggested we book for more than might attend they said ok but can only book us for 6:00pm. They didn't sound interested even when I said we would probably book regularly every month. So nothing is booked and we won't get tables without a reservation.
I don't get a good vibe about this place.
-
Huh, doesn't sound as if they want the business...
-

....very poor form Robin. Obviously the recession means that they don't need new business. :fighting: :fighting:
-
^
I think that it's more that they don't know how to cope with a party of more than 6 people unless we can be more specific about our numbers. There seems to be a lack of flexibility there.
What I don't understand is why they could accommodate say 12 of us at 6pm but not at 7:30pm <-- That suggests we would be expected to leave by 7:30pm if we started at 6:00pm. When I go out for a meal I don't take kindly to it being suggested when I should finish eating and leave - It's simply uncivilised!
-
So whats the plan then...
Is this happening :signLOL:
I might even bring the Mk2 along :grin:
-
You could try the Shoulder of Mutton in Heckfield.
There's The Leather Bottle @ Mattingley which is now a Blubeckers.
The New Inn at Heckfield.
The Crooked Billet @ Hook.
All with easy access and in the same general area as the hated Jeckyll and Hyde. :smiley:
-
Sounds like a better plan, if they are being difficult before we get there ..... better to go somewhere near

Well none of them are in exactly the same place as the Jeckyll because it's already there. :confused:
Any of them are within a couple of miles but if that's further North and East than you want to travel then so be it.

There you go. You decide. :smiley:

Thanks Ian but when I say I don't want to travel further North or East I'm meaning that J&H is far enough mileage for me driving at least 2 hrs each way from the SouthWest coast via Salisbury or Southampton.
Anyway, I may not make it now. Someone who knows these venues should decide - I know none of them. The links you've given are all Shoulder Of Mutton.
Booking bums on seats for 7:
- RedRobin (maybe)
- Carrera2RS
- CmdrFire
- Tarmac_Terrorist
- Gti Mad
- Richn83
- Hedge (maybe)
-
I have changed the links (30sec with Google).
So given the choices can someone make a decision or is it not worth bothering with. :smiley:
-
Looking at the request
The New Inn http://www.thenewinn.info/ looks very close RG27 OLE or
The crooked Billet http://www.thecrookedbilletpub.co.uk/Contact/tabid/64/Default.aspx RG27 9EH
Both look nice, checking with TOM TOM it suggests the Crooked Billet is easiset ad close to HOOK.
I'm up for that location, do you want me to book ? Final confirmation of numbers ?
-
The only one on my list I have been to is the Shoulder of Mutton. http://www.shoulderofmutton-hants.co.uk/
It used to be very good but I'm happy either way. :smiley:

I'm not going to make it, guys. I have to pick up my daughter coming back from Plymouth - the opposite direction.

Are you okay for the meet Hedge ?

I'm in. :smiley:
-
How many shall we book for ?
Do you know the guys at the Crooked Billet ?
I'll be there in good time, hoping to leave work from a meeting in Reading ish at 5.00, so I will be there by 6.30 I suspect :happy2:
-
I'm still in (unless Robin decides to attend in which case I shall be wooing the young Miss Red) but more likely to arrive for 1900.
-
Gents Shall we book a table for 6 people and adjust accordingly ?
I am guessing it won't be booked out on a September Wednesday evening !
-
As I say I'm game but if people want to do Thursday now that's also OK.
-
I'm easy.
-
I'll be tied up most of the day, but hopefully get the opportunity to go on line and check all is well.
I say lets give it a go for tomorrow night, can someone call and organise a table as I might not get the opportunity ? I doubt this will be a problem as there is likely to be 5-6 tops
I'll see you all there by 7.00 :happy2:
-
I have sent an e-mail to the Shoulder of Mutton RG27 8NB http://www.shoulderofmutton-hants.co.uk/ and booked a table for 6 people, for 7.30-8.00pm :party:
I will be there by 7.00pm, it will be nice to see a few other cars in the light :wink:
Guys please confirm and I can adjust the numbers accordingly (hopefully upwards !)
So far Looks like Hedge, Carrera2RS, CMDRFIRE, plus Tarmac_Terrorist, Gti Mad, Richn83
-
I won't be there this time guys, but providing this continues, ill be there next :happy2:

Shoulder of Mutton http://www.shoulderofmutton-hants.co.uk/
Just seen this on their menu:
NOTHING ......... £23.95
this is the dieter’s dream a big invisible plate of nothing topped with lashing of nothing. Zero on a plate.
The most expensive dish on the menu! :grin:

Woops,
Somebody mentioned somebody mentioned Quantum computers, I think I was guilty of expanding into Quantum mechanics and chaos :ashamed:

Was a good evening and I think I might have been responsible for the quantum computer comment sorry!
Was some good food and nice to meet you all again. and some interesting car discussions too. Good commitment to the cause Mike came all the way from Germany did a half marathon and stayed awake all evening not a bad effort considering all I did yesterday was clean the car :P
