I think it's possible at a push.
I had a passenger and a certain moderator (not Sy!) in the boot a while back, and on another occasion two "ladies" intertwined on the passenger seat. That was a difficult journey to concentrate on... :twisted:
Never both at the same time though.
Would probably bend my wishbones or turn the chassis banana-shaped!
Striking fear into the hearts of duplicate posts everywhere...! :P

I thought the benches behind the front seats with speakers in were for children, they seemed happy enough when i took them home from school.:-D :wink:

Has this thread been infected with banter? :smt018
Anyone would think you were all East Midlanders :smt023

Back on to topic: I cannot make it on Sunday but if there is going to be a get-together on Saturday night, I'm up for that.

Guilty your honour! :oops:
I should watch out - people might start getting the wrong impression and thinking I've got a sense of humour next too!!! :roll:

Look forwards to meeting up on Saturday night. That carvery at the Wensum with Ailwyn, Gareth and the LEF boys sounds too good to miss to me - I'll be there. Anyone know or want to suggest what time to aim for?

Neil,

I'm aiming to be at the hotel for 4pm traffic permitting, so by the time I beautify myself, say 5:30-6pm I'll be in the bar.

PS for the off-topic posts, do I now get honourary Grey club membership? :-D

Based upon recent subjects, shouldn't that be Vickers Machine Gun?!? :lol:

No. That is more likely to get you thrown out. :lol:
You only get Grey Club membership if all you ever do is post boring technical posts and demonstrate a lack of ineptitude.
i.e. Showing that you reside on this planet rather than being a True Blue Sky Thinker.
Er, I think that means you're already in.

Does anyone get the feeling it might be Friday?

I'll aim to be at the hotel for 6 then. I won't be staying overnight.

Am I allowed to NOT be in the Elan?
