Sorry to hear you have killed your box. It was only a matter of time though. Yet another meet in the absence of MHUK.

So are you going to jump in with anyone martin or are you missing yet another meet?

Hang on Martin has the ES :)

So he can drive it with L plates if the Bat sits in the other seat?

Problem solved!

afraid

MatBat will not be at this meet so he can't take me, I'm out of cash also
and my gearbox is fucked.

Let's hope I can make the next meet.

Sorry Lee.

Ok we have with in about a mile from the our house 3 small b&b and a hotel.

These are as follows:

HOTEL
http://www.westley-hotel.co.uk If you order online i do believe you get a small discount. This is £65.50 per night for a double.

B&B

Corner House B&B 0121 744 4721

Luggage light 0121 707 8408. £55 per night

There is one more can't remember the name. 0121 704 2020

Other than the above I am afraid it will have to be Birmingham City centre. This is only about 4 miles from our house but unable to get all the details due to the large amount of hotels.

Hope this helps.

Those taking up the offer of sleep where you fall remember to bring your sleeping bag.

:lol: @ Gaz. How will take him on to be the master of the sofa.

There is room in the computer room or has JohnTurbo already booked it?

I reckon Fnord's about as close to "blondie" as we;ll get from the fellas - he has Ginger hair - don't recall any of us having blonde hair?

Trouble is, he won't drink Tennants, not even for you John!!!! :rofl:
