vt1977 0 #76 January 13, 2005 Last year gremlin and I took a case of Bud, a couple of bottles of wine and a half bottle of vodka. We drank the lot! If it helps, the bar definitely sells bottles of Bud, Becks and Bacardi Breezers (if that's your thing!). They charge about £4 a beer - my local supermarket charges considerably less!

vt1977 0 #81 January 13, 2005 I'm aiming to be there at approx 6-6.30pm on Friday. I plan on going for a swim and sauna first before the serious abuse of the liver begins! Caz - if you can't find me, call me! Vicki Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vt1977 0 #83 January 13, 2005 PM'd! Are you girls up for a swim and sauna some time during the day on the Saturday as well? I find it breaks up the drinking just enough to allow me to pace myself... Vicki Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caz 0 #84 January 13, 2005 ta my dear. and I'll most likely be up for a swim during the Sat, it will clear my head from Friday nights drinking and work up an appetite for Saturday nights drinking ~~~ London Skydivers ~~~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpoxon 0 #85 January 13, 2005 Don't they close the pool, whilst the majority of the membership are there i.e. saturday, after a certain ex-pat gear manufacturer decided to go for a naked swim whilst intoxicated a few years ago or this that just an AGM urban myth?!Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vt1977 0 #86 January 13, 2005 I used the pool there between about 12 and 2pm last year - it was definitely open then. Mind you, the staff did get a bit upset when we started being silly and loud and splashing water around a lot! Vicki Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yoink 321 #88 January 13, 2005 I wonder if the nice fella we met last year will be back...? the guy who brought his wife out as a treat for a nice quiet anniversary present! Doh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #89 January 13, 2005 That was classic. My favorate "meet" was Hector from Icarus canopies spain who I found out went to the same Uni as me and was desperate to visit Bristol again... so was quite easy to talk into giving me a great discount once he was drunk... never used it though ... but I guess half the fun is in the chase.

gremlin 0 #93 January 14, 2005 Quote When you say we, given that Adam doesn't drink would that mean that you drank the lot? From VT1977 Hangover so not funny. I really am going to stop drinking. I'm too old to handle the hangovers any more. :-/ The v thought of alcohol makes me want to vomit atm... Last night - left pub, William decides we have to go clubbing. I figure that if I go clubbing for half an hour I can still get train back. Club so bad that large amounts of alcohol were necessary to apprecviate the place. Got v drunk. Got night bus back. Got motion sick (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!) and barfed on floor of night bus. Woke up at Will's at 6.30am... I feel like I have died. So as for running this morning - no! - I would so vomit. Again. I'll be staying sober at the AGM I think. Can't deal with hangovers of this magnitude any more. She doesn't deserve any sympathy so please do not send her any! I'm drunk, you're drunk, lets go back to mine.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cpoxon 0 #96 January 14, 2005 QuoteIt would also appear that Grounded has reformed and will be playing again AGM Programme (as of January 13th) says the band will be "Run for Cover".

mr2mk1g 10 #97 January 14, 2005 DAMNIT... when I'd posted that I'd just read the latest council minutes which read: Quote54.2 Entertainment at the Annual Dinner Dance (minute 51) A quotation for £1,480 from the soul band After Midnight had been circulated. There was no proposal to accept it. The skydivers’ rock band Grounded, who had played at BPA Dinner Dances in previous years, had telephoned the BPA Office to say they had re-formed. They had kindly offered to play at the BPA Dinner Dance on Saturday 22 January 2005 for the cost price of hiring amplifiers, which was in the region of £300. Kieran Brady proposed, and Andy Scott seconded, a motion to accept Grounded’s kind offer with thanks. This carried unanimously. Sorry everyone - it would appear things must have changed since then and I've been lured into posting misinformation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
