From: "Suzi" <Suzi@lspace.org> Newsgroups: alt.fan.pratchett Subject: [F] New Year Meet Report Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2000 18:03:35 -0000 Message-ID: <84tclq$evd$1@taliesin.netcom.net.uk> Other attendees should feel free to add whatever comments they like as I am bound to have missed significant events <G> Parte the Firste ~ The Eve of the New Yeare ------------------------------------------- People arrived... some were fetched from the nearest still open train station. By the time this had happened, there were many in attendance, so we trundled up the road to the pub for a few hours of merrymaking, drinking, debauchery, and silly games. The ppint.ish personage arrived a bit later (about the time the return to the house from the pub happened)... this was now everyone who was expected so food happened and more merrymaking. Drinking and eating happened. Joy rang up from NZ just about the same time as the return from the pub happened to wish everyone a happy new year (as it had already happened "down under"). The poor party attendees were driven out of the house to perform ye olde ritual of "firstfooting" around the midnight hour - and then more partying (including champagne, of which we seemed to have at least one bottle per person!). "Labyrinth" was watched, and then YHN has no idea what time everyone else eventually got to bed as she wimped out at some unearthly hour leaving most of the others to it. Parte the Seconde ~ The First Day of the Last Yeare of the Millennium --------------------------------------------------------------------- Eventually everyone got up - and breakfast eventually happened (well - more of a "Lunch" really by the time it was cooked)... cooking bacon and sausages for 15 is "interesting" when using just one oven (no grill). A lot of the day was taken up with people playing silly games on Murky's new playstationthing (FIFA soccer and Micro Machines) as well as "normal" silly party games (like Charades and Pass the Parcel). More drinking happened. And more eating (with pizzas and quiches for the evening). Eventually the playstationers were "persuaded" to put the playstation to bed for the night, and "The Fifth Element" was watched (and this time YHN didn't even make it all the way through the film before wimping out and retiring <g>). Parte the Thirde ~ The next day and general notes ------------------------------------------------- Eventually everyone got up (where have I heard that before?), although one afper was "assisted" in awakening... and breakfast (continental style this time) happened. More FIFA and Micro Machines happened until mid afternoon when most people started to pack up and leave due to distances to be travelled. The one thing I did notice was there was actually very little in the way of geeking - although true to our normal form quite an amount of both bread and chocolate products were consumed. Appendix A ~ The Attendees -------------------------- Charles "Official AFPGiant" Cooke ppint. Thomas Pratchett Darren Davison Rob "The Ergonomist" Cotterill Adrian "I'm not Thomas' twin" Wragg Ben "Womble" Hutchings Murky B & Monica Sarah "Nanny Ogg" Whippman Barry "Official Sad Bastard" R.
