I recommend one of these:

Gives me my frothy coffee hit at home on a daily basis. Now .. if you could work out a DIY so that I can install one in my armrest we'll be quids in.

Anything is possible...

No, it's not.

We've ordered some Jura type coffee machine at work, for the coffee connoisseurs (those that like to grind their own beans)

The machine is around £1200

I like grinding beans, but funnily enough, only on Tuesdays...

I get an allergic reaction on other days of the week...

mjh93sa · 08-28-2007, 05:37 PM

With some of your latest posts I think we're all starting to wonder just what you do put in your coffee.

booforty · 08-28-2007, 05:50 PM

Liverpool just won, so I'm in a merry mood

So, a pretty poor potential turnout, so far.

I'll post out some PMs, just in case members haven't noticed that we're having the meet!

I'll have a look for a suitable B&B around the Derbyshire area- will Bakewell do, or do people want to stop over elsewhere- Derby perhaps?
Also, the evening meal- Indian, Chinese, Italian, something else?
That's going to affect where we stay as well, I suppose.
We need to sort out the plate covers as well- Matt, do you mind?
(I know Floyd has done it a few times already)

Are you likely to be moving that weekend, Floyd?

dxb335d · 09-02-2007, 05:38 AM

so far i can make this

im working the sat night so will have to leave early evening ish!!

this is of course, if my roster stays as it provisionally is at the moment

Carlos

silverbmwz3 · 09-02-2007, 05:44 AM

Is Nathan going? This is his 'hood?
I'm tempted as my folks live nearby...will consult with SWMBO and respond.

Excellent news!

Don't worry Carlos, we'll tuck you up at a not-too-late 4am!

Paul, Nathan couldn't make it last time & hasn't yet said anything about this meet.

You'll have to come, just to see Carlos & Sergei sing Bohemian Rap-sody!

Viv

mjh93sa · 09-02-2007, 02:58 PM

I'll start looking at plate covers Viv!

Just need to finalise the venue if we want that on them as before. Also, as per previous postings, can you please indicate your attendance and update as appropriate all the way up to the event. A quick PM to the likes of Viv saves us work and standing around like idoits waiting for you to arrive.

Indeed Matt.

Please let us know if you intend coming, by filling in the calendar here or posting in this thread.

Thanks.

Yes. Just as I get all the projects completed and the house looking pretty good, after ten years here I need to pack up and move.

Hope the meet turns out well. Might I suggest a couple of tossable charcoal grills from Homebase or the like for cooking? A wind baffle might come in handy as well.

dxb335d · 09-02-2007, 05:11 PM

i am coming, unless something drastic happens

i am looking forward to it, can we rent the track out for the day?

mjh93sa · 09-02-2007, 05:33 PM

I think that Bennetts and most of the British Superbike Teams would be a bit peeved with you if you did Carl.

ill be the pace car HAHA

As there are only a handful of us going, it shouldn't be a problem parking where we normally do - I get the impression that we probably would have as many turn up to a Northern meet. Haven't washed the car in ages and not washed the wheels once yet so it will give me a chance to see if the wheel sealant has done its job!
