Duderstadt 2012: DATES ANNOUNCED! 21/22 July 2012

[jmachling]

I'd be up for a shirt too - the usual - XL polo in "Caribbean" blue

[jmachling]

I will no longer be attending Duderstadt this year.
Due to the costs of having to replace the Cat and Lambda sensor on the Paseo I am no longer in a position to afford the trip.
Am absolutely ****ing gutted about this as I was looking forward to spending my birthday out there.

I'm late to the party on this, and I know you've made up your mind, but if there's anything I can say or do to persuade you or facilitate things, just say.

It won't be the same without you!

[Rayman]

Totally agree!!!

BREAKING NEWS:

Tiamat will be at Duderstadt

[jmachling]

Operation 'Get Malcolm the xxxx to Duderstadt' is a success!

Electrodes on the man-vegetables always works

'Never leave a man behind!' (Unless he's in Gent, in which case, meh... )

[Scott Barton]

[Lauren]

Blimey!

I knew he would make it, he's such a drama queen.

[Tiamat]

Blimey!

I knew he would make it, he's such a drama queen.

Drama queen is harsh Lauren and actually under the circumstances I find it quite offensive. I made it clear that I was not going to f--- up my family financially by coming on the trip, it was not a case of me trying to get a free ride or reduced costs through being a drama queen. Some of us are not well off, some of us are trying to support a family on what is quite a low wage for where they live and trying to do the best they can.

[Tiamat]

I would like ot say thank you to Scott, John G, John M, Simon (Turbo-Dragon), Benny, Mario, Peter, Felix and everyone else who contacted me and spoke to and organised things for me. This will not be forgotten and I am extremely grateful and really quite emotional about it all. The call from Peter yesterday marked an amazing end to a really quite terrible weekend.

[jmachling]

You're welcome, Sheriff!

We couldn't do Dudetown properly without you.

[Lauren]

Chill out eh, I'm not responsible nor am I aware for whatever issues you currently have.

Since when does suggesting that you had a bit of 'drama' suggest that you were trying to get a free ride or reduced costs or whatever?

Sorry.

[Lauren]

Anyways, I'm sorry, Malcolm.

I'm glad you are able to make it and hope it's a chance to have a good long weekend amongst friends. Beer is waiting.

[Tiamat]

Sorry Lauren, I maight have gone a bit over the top. The money thing has been kicking in for a while and after previous troubles is a bit sensitive, that a few family issues has me going from 0-annoyed pretty quickly.

Looking forward to some beers with some VERY good friends.

[Lauren]

Seriously don't worry, Malcolm, I know how unpleasant tough times can be. I've had money worries my self, it's extremely stressful. Life ain't easy!



I'm sure between us, we'll make sure you have a good time alright.

See you there!

[Turbo Dragon]

Hell yeah baby!

Glad your back on board

[Scott Barton]
