I shall proudly be the emissary of **Anahita** , exotic queen of the City of the Tribes. Eh? Actually, Anahita, will you send me a mail, please, I have a question for you. Ta. Have threads ever been moved **OUT** of the Pit for being off topic? Anyway. FA Cup final weekend is fine for me, but I am tied up between now and then. ---

Well, you all have a good time, but I’ll have to pass. Need to save my pennies 'cause I’m off on the 19th for a week in Seville (bet none of you can guess why 😃 ) [sub]And I’ve had IPC. It’s not bad, but a long way from divine, IMHO.[/sub] ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by elfje \* > **when: depends on Aro and his FA match? > who: depends on the date but I’d love to come, jjimm’s ina and so is Curly chick and Twistoffate?** Don’t arrange things around me. Pick a date that suits everyone and I’ll see if I can accommodate it. If not, then I shall go the way of **Anahita** on this occasion. I just mentioned that I’d be down that Saturday of the FA cup final, 'cause I knew I probably would. I could be down in Dub other days too. Hey, It’s only a ton of miles away. Hey **Ruadh** , what’s in Seville? Surely you’re not going to see that mickey-mouse football match? 😛 ---

You can buy thge base, just need to throw the toppings you want on it and feck it in the oven. Nobody to blame but your oven, then 🙂 Ok, since taking Ruadh to the IPC was the original invitation, and he’s already had some, and it’s not to his complete satisfaction, why not just go for a pint? Who’s up for that? Listen, maybe we should set up a mail list in yahoo or something? Easier then doing it over the Board? whadyareckon? ---

By far the most important. Everyone knows that. For sure.
