Tubechallenge/Friends/Tubefest 2012!
I would like to say what a really enjoyable 2 days
Some excellent challenging, fast times, sexy changes and various tired and aching body parts today
It was great to catch up with so many friends and meet some lovely new people for the first time; tractakid, Rhys1995, Sheenagh, Ross & Tash and apologies if I have missed anyone else.....
We had a really sociable couple of days with spirits high and fun and banter on the darts board
We had Adham with his "Fair Fares" campaign on Friday then entertaining us with a severe bout of cramp, twice nearly knocking a table of beers over
Further Adham entertainment on Saturday with a rendition of his new song "Edgware Road" sang outside Edgware Road
So much I could write about, but will just say that I thoroughly enjoyed this years event and it's the people that make it and everyone was fantastic

Re: Tubechallenge/Friends/Tubfest 2012!
Anyway Kev it was a fantastic weekend. Full of the tube, darts, beer and banter.
Couldn't agree more.
Shame that Andi had to leave us so soon on Saturday, I hope his folks are ok!
Sam Smiths really need to sort out their prices though! I ordered 1 Pure Brew and 1 cider and got £1.50 change from a tenner! I think James paid over a fiver for 1 bottle of stout!

Lets just say if you have a glass half full/empty of water you'd think it was bone dry after being left in the middle of the Sahara from 100 years.

You take everything I take way too seriously. Maybe I should point out that most of what I say is an attempt at humour. I'm not like this in real life you know.MylesHSG wrote:Lets just say if you have a glass half full/empty of water you'd think it was bone dry after being left in the middle of the Sahara from 100 years.
And I too was having a couple of days of playing with real trains, which is more or less what I've been doing for five years now.

You're saved from having to wake up late Andi - I've got something else on on Saturday that I thought was the week after...
