A Party Invitation

[LARAMANIAC]

I know that this may not be relevant to a lot of you, as we do live quite a distance apart some of us! But we are having a soiree for thediva's 40th birthday in our fair old city of Leeds! Saturday 13th September, we are staying overnight HERE! (http://www.marriott.com/dpp/PropertyPage.asp?MarshaCode=LBADT&EPCEC=InProcess&EPNAVCEC=InProcess) and would love to see anyone from the forums. We have already enlisted Solange, Kitten Celeste, Prelude, & JohnnyZ into our ranks, and would love to see anyone else who could make it. We're gonna have an absolute blaaaaaaaaaast, so if you're free, feel like drinking yourself silly, come on over, we'd love
to meet you!!!!! :D Pubbing & Clubbing our speciality!!

[KittenCeleste]

WooooooHooooo!

It'll be a blast!
Am touching down on UK soil a few days before.. And will still be rampaging around the country side for a few days after that before returning to everyday life back home..

Could be cool to shake paws with some of the locals.. ;)

Leeds, here I come! :D

[Umah Bloodomen]

I'll be there in spirit. (Or spirits even :D ) Send birthday wishes to thediva for me. :)

[JunoJIm]

Geez - couldn't you have it in Juno Beach ??? I know some excellent Pubs around here...

Anyway, have one for me, and happy birthday to thediva !!!

PS - don't forget to take & post pics !!!

[DaveJ]

Let me know where in Leeds you plan on being and when-ish and I'll hop along!

[CatSuit&Ponytail]

So this Leeds place must be really huge, eh? :p ;) We've been there twice and didn't see you....wait......were you those two frisking that poor security guard at the Dale and Chip all night male dancers club? :o

I live there..... it'd be rude not to.
;)

[LARAMANIAC]

Umah, we will have a few of those spirits on your behalf dear!! ;)

JunoJim, it would have been nice to do this in Florida, another time hopefully!! We will definitely have one for you too!! Of course there will be piccys to laugh over! :D

DaveJ, we were hoping you might drop by, it is your neck of the woods after all! Will let you know where and whenish once we have sorted it all out! ;)

Catsuit&Ponytail, omg you saw us, that is our secret nighttime 'job'! :p Maybe the next time you visit our city we'll get to meet, you can have a choccy milkshake on me!! :D

TRChik, I'm still trying sweetie, I promise! ;)

{{{{{{{{{{{{Kitten & Solange}}}}}}}}}}}}} I look forward, with much giddiness, to finally meeting the two of you - fun, fun, fun!!!!! :D :D

And were you trying to get in to that particular male dancer's club, or just passing bye ???

Let's see. Sept 13 - not a Friday, that's good... it would be far out to actually see some of you, and fares to London are cheap now...

How far is it from London ???

[Lil Lara]

aw.. that sounds like its going to be so much fun!

[KittenCeleste]

It's about half way across the country..

But on my last voyage around the UK, I found the coach system to be an easy and inexensive way to travel. ;)

Would be great if you could make it!!! :D :cool:

We're about 300miles from London, but as Kitty pointed out we have rather inexpensive coaches and the trains aren't too bad - especially seen as the heatwave seems to have broken now! JunoJim, you would be more than welcome!!!! :D:D:D

I keeping thinking it isn't possible for me to feel any giddier - but...............:D:D:D

BTW JJ - the easiest flight to get would be into Manchester Airport, we could pick you up from there by car!! Take a look at flights into Manchester too if you think you could make it!! ;)

[JunoJIm]

Sometimes flights are pretty cheap from here to there - I'll look into it...

Or, if I took off right now, I could sail over on my Hobie Cat :D

[LARAMANIAC]

So do it JJ!!!!! :D:p

[KittenCeleste]

Yeeeeeah! Come join us in LM's Private Idahoe ;)

[MunkeeChum]

I can imagine telling my mum where I'm going:



See ya mum I'm off to Leeds to get plastered.

Why?

I'm going to a 40th birthday party

But all your friends are the same age as you.

Ahh well you see you wont have met this person before. Its some woman I know from an internet forum.

Forum?

A message board, where people post messages regarding topics of interest. For example its called the Eidos Community Forum. So we talk about games that Eidos make.

And you met a 40 year old woman on it? She plays computer games? How odd. Any way why are you invited to her 40th?

Well she counts all the people that frequent the forum as her friends and has invited them all. Some guy from America might be going.

Have you joined a cult?

No, we are friends.

I don't like the sound of this Hyder. You may be getting into something you may be unaware of.

No mum I'm getting the train. And I'm perfectly aware what that is.

Now don't you get cheeky with me! You can't just scamper off to Leeds to party with middle aged woman who probably arn't Middle aged or woman. In fact they are probably going to kill you and steal your wallet! Are you running away?

Yes, with only the clothes on my back. I am going to see if the streets of Leeds are paved with gold. Come on Monty! ( my cat ) We're going on an adventure.

Hyder, you're not going!

Why not!

You will get killed!!!

Last I checked gold wasn't toxic....

Hyder, YOU ARE NOT GOING.

But!

But no, if you go i'll phone your father and we'l ltake away your computer and I'll send back the MG!

Humbug.

------------------------

As you may have gathered I think its highly unlikely I will be able to attend.

Sorry. :(

[LARAMANIAC]

FOFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent Munkee - my hubby had a quite similar reply when I told him what we were doing! But they just don't understand - technophobes!!!! :rolleyes: Your presence will be missed dear, we will have a drinkieee or two for you!!! ;)

{{{{{{{{{Lil Lara}}}}}}}}}}}}}} you will be with us in those same spirits we will be drinking in respect of Umah!!! :D

[LARAMANIAC]

We'll miss you Drexel! We'll have the satellite out to catch those vibes!!!! :p

[JunoJIm]

The rates are pretty steep from here - maybe my company would like a volunteer to visit Rolls Royce - we have a contract with them - Joint Strike Fighter - there's a couple of our guys that go every couple months...

[L Croft]

I wish I could come and my parents said it was ok but my school has a ball on the same day :( :(

[LARAMANIAC]

Awwwww {{{{{{{{{{Lydia}}}}}}}}}}, we will miss you - but as I said it gives us a good excuse to come to London!!! ;)

[Kurtis Trent]

Dang im jealous! Anybody wanna fly here, pick me up and bring me there! I can sneak out my window! :D





Have fun guys, and have a good one theDiva!

Sorry for the mix up!:D :o :p

[LARAMANIAC]

If I could I would.........but somehow I think your parents would kill me KT!!! ;) We'll take lots of piccys to show you!!! :D

*LM whispers to KT.......By the way, its thediva's bday party!!!! :D;)

[LARAMANIAC]

Don't be silly KT dear, come out from under that rock!!! Easy mistake to make!!!! ;) {{{{{{{{{KT}}}}}}}}}}

[Kurtis Trent]

Yes LM, I suppose so, but still, i should learn to read 1st posts better. :D

and yes, my parents would crazy if they find a note on my bed:

"Went to a meet n greet far far away, be back soon!"


Would be a bit funny though :D

[blondie]

If Im not working, Im soooooooooooo there
;)

[KittenCeleste]

Kewlies! Another vic.. eeeeh.. party goer! :D

[LARAMANIAC]

blondie - that would be excellent if you could make it!!! Let me know if you're not working and we'll sort things out!!!! :D

BTW - no responses from dhama or Staticon!!! :( Would be great if you could make it!!!???? :p We'd love to see you both!!! ;)

[Jewel]

I would so love to go and bring my twin. Maybe if I'm a good girl (and if she is too) I'll get my wish and we can go next summer.

Have fun all!!

[DaveJ]

....and if you both can't be good you should come over even sooner.


I'm due to finish working on 'Emmerdale' that weekend, so I'm hoping I can still make it. :eek:

[LARAMANIAC]

oooooo I hope you finish on time DaveJ!!! ;)

Thanks {{{{{{{{{Jewel}}}}}}}} we will!!! Oooooo good that means another party next summer!!! :p

[KittenCeleste]

It certainly does! :D

Wouldn't want anyone to feel left out now, would we? ;)

[DaveJ]

Joanne Croft - do you live in or near Leeds??? Get your backside over to the party dear if you can - the more revellers the better!! ;)

No probs Jana_Croft - good to hear we might be seeing a bit more of you in the future!!!! :p

[suzieq51]

Ooh it's getting closer ... only 10 more sleeps!
Wish I could make it too but living on the other side of the planet sure makes this difficult! Nevertheless, I'll be there in "spirit" (will crack open the bubbly and toast you on the night).
Hope you all (and especially thediva) have an absolutely faaabulous time...I'm looking forward to viewing the blackmail material - eer I mean piccys! :D

[DaveJ]

There's a Hard Rock Cafe in Leeds now?!
:eek:

If you tell me where it is, I can make lunchtime for a couple of hours.

(Joanne Croft is nearer Athens than Leeds....but the spirit is willing!) ;)

*edit* Just found out where HRC is... will be there all being well!

[Joanne Croft]

[LARAMANIAC]

[JunoJIm]

BTW - there's another celebration happening online - at TombRaider.be on the 11th... I suggested we talk it up a bit, and while everybody's fairly sober, all go online at perhaps 9/12 00:00 GMT...

[Senor v2]

You lot dont know me, because i am new to the community forum. Anyway happybirthday TheDiva from what you have said about this shindig, i could probably hear you from way up here in county Durham.

Happy Birthday!

[DaveJ]

I now have a new problem stepping in front of me attending this weekend - severe back pains, which I've just been to see the Doc about.
He wants to rule out kidney problems so I have to make a wee deposit tomorrow!

Whatever the cause, its leaving me in agony, so I may not be much of anything anywhere for the next few days.

Have a great weekend in Leeds folks - catch you next time.

[KittenCeleste]

awwwww..... schweeeetieeee.... :(

(((((((((((((((Dave))))))))))))))))

Get well soon, dear!!!

[LARAMANIAC]

Awwwww you poor little chicken!! Cranberry juice - thats my suggestion dear, I know the feeling only too well!! :( Believe me it works wonders!! You take care - we'll catch you next time!! :(
