> [@garius](#): > > Stop panicing about when you can get there. It don’t matter. All that matters is what a person can do and what a person can’t do. For instance, you can accept that you are a brummie _and still_ a good person or you can’t. But Brum is now in your blood, girl, so you’ll have to square with that some day. And me, for example, I can keep going on at you about this for ages, but I can’t put up with the shin-injuries that go with that, savvy? Look, I am NOT a Brummie! Say it again, and you’d best bring shin pads with you on the 13th. And I seriously doubt that _anyone_ will stop me kicking your shins. Hard. 😃 ---

Can I kick him too? sounds like a fun group activity. And I know how much you enjoy group activities Gary, what with all that Scout shit you used to do. Jossemar! (punt!) ---

Regrettably, I am already booked on that date. Still, there’s going to be a welcoming dopefest in Ireland, _isn’t there?_ ---

Count me in for the 13th - though I doubt I’ll be there for 11.30 either. ---

> [@Tir Tinuviel](#): > > I will!!! > Why kick him in the shins when you can kick 'im inna knackers! 😃 Cause that’s cruel and evil, and whilst I have been known to exhibit nasty streaks, I’m not _that_ nasty. Besides, I don’t think I can kick my foot that high with the power required to do considerable damage. 😉 Anyway, **Tir** - how would you weigh them once they’d been mashed? 😉 ---

Hi All, due to some extraordinary personal circumstances, we are going to have to Cancel the Farewell Londope. Tir is very sorry that we have to cancel, but recent events meant that we had to change her leaving date. to this morning 🙂 tir is over in Dublin in our new apartment, hopefully getting some sleep. Apologies to all who were looking forward to this, but I hope you understand that we had to do things like this. You are all more than welcome to come over to us here in Dublin instead. thanks. ---
