Any time is pretty much good for me, I just need to know at least a week in advance so I can book the night off work. šŸ˜‰ ---

6th and 13th March are definitely out for me. They bracket the week that Iā€™m going skiing. ---

Wow! Iā€™m really happy for you, love! šŸ˜ƒ šŸ˜ƒ šŸ˜ƒ Yer a fine couple, so yā€™are - just make sure you run him ragged! I hereby suggest that all future Londopes be planned to coincide with **Tirā€™s** monthly visits. Oh, and any time in March is fine by me, and I should also be able to make the mini-dope in Jan too. Canā€™t wait! ---

Ok Iā€™m bumping this cos itā€™s now February, and cos the offical moving date has been set as the 26th March! _Kat falls over - **SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!** _ So, that gives us a choice of the following saturdays in march: 6th 13th 20th Personally Iā€™d prefer the 13th, cos itā€™s my burfday on the 14th, and that means **Twisty** can save on airfare and do my burfday and the dopefest in one weekend. But heyā€¦ whadda you lot reckon? ---

Great news, kids! Me and the lovely **Heloise** were talking about doing a Dublin trip sometime later this year perhaps, assuming sheā€™ll be here by then, what with immigration and all. Looks like weā€™ve got one more reason now. šŸ™‚ March is a tad difficult for me for a LonDope, seeing as I already have almost 2 weeks off late February/early March. That wedding thing, yā€™see? šŸ˜‰ ---

Of course you can come, the more the merrier! Iā€™d advise you to wear trousers though, just ask **Angua** about her first Dopefest! hee hee!

> [@Tir Tinuviel](#): > > **Jennyrosity** , thank you! Of course you can come, the more the merrier! Iā€™d advise you to wear trousers though, just ask **Angua** about her first Dopefest! hee hee! Yeah, trousers are essential. Vital in fact, else, your knickers may end up being revealed. As mine were at the Brumdope. You should be glad that you missed that - they werenā€™t very exciting. If anyone asks you to swap tops with anyone else, just say no. Cleavage shots are essential to a Dopefestā€¦ Oh, be careful where you put your hands. There are some unscrupulous and devious photographers at Dopefests. šŸ˜‰ ---

Ok - trousers, cleavage, care of hand placement, I can manage that. Anything else I need to know, bearing in mind I donā€™t cook so wonā€™t be bringing any baked goodies? I suppose I could bring some Plymouth gin, or some Cornish fudge, for that authentic taste of the south west. ---

> [@Jennyrosity](#): > > care of hand placement, I can manage that. I wouldnā€™t be so complacent about that one. I thought Iā€™d managed that one rather well as well, until recently. Naming no names, and pointing no fingers at people with digital cameras _cough_Tir_cough_ I wouldnā€™t worry about bringing alcohol - people drink enough in the pubs, drinking in between pubs would be asking for liver failureā€¦ But fudgeā€¦ Now weā€™re talkingā€¦ I take it it would be the authentic clotted cream stuff? ---

Yup, clotted cream fudge, hand-made by a genuine Cornish pictsieā€¦ok, I made up that last bit, but it is hand-made. **Angua** , what if I just keep my hands in my pockets? Oh wait, thatā€™s going to make drinking difficult, erm, Iā€™m clearly going to have to put some though into this. **Paul** , I still prefer Moā€™s idea of the piggy-back jousting to actual violence. If I wanted to see grown men tear each other apart, Iā€™d go down Union Street\* on a Saturday night. As for the drinking, Iā€™m clearly going to have to get into training to raise my tolerance again - January was a rather dry month for me and Iā€™m in disgrace for having got sloshed on 3 glasses of wine on Friday night. Still, at least Iā€™ve got plenty of time to practice. \*Union Street is a dog-rough part of Plymouth, populated by sleazy bars, massage parlours and navy-types on the razz.
