Yeah, eleven is fine. I can come pick you up. As long as I get a beer after I'm good.

20:26 / 11.05.07

Eh.

My boss is being a tricksy bastard about getting this time off now, as two other people have it off too. I plied him with alternatives until he started to go red.

I'm trying afresh on Monday. It'll take a little bit of clever sidestepping, but I will get the time off.

Ganbatte, wee think.

Incidentally, if you're not already watching the ace new Gainax show Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, I wish you were so you'd join us in that thread, as the wee think/BIG TANK! shtick always reminds me of the big'n'little mechas on that show.

But in the usual way, that's just me.

Leigh Monster loses its cool

10:56 / 16.05.07

Aw, I really wish I could come to this, especially knowing some of what I'll be missing. Have fun ya'll.

Mysterious Transfer Student

12:03 / 16.05.07

We'll miss you leeside, and promise to sing hesitantly along in romanized Japanese to the theme tunes of everything we watch in your honour.

16:19 / 17.05.07

Problem solved! I just quit my job!

How's that for out of the box thinking?

21:24 / 17.05.07

And sorry, to finally answer you, Transfer.

I'd like to watch Toppa and it's probably doable seeing as it's weekly and early in its run. Once I clear my workload I'll see about getting up to speed and making the contributions I should to the Anime threads.

02:34 / 18.05.07

Now that's what I call dedication. wee think, you are a marvel.

08:58 / 18.05.07

Why thank you, BIG TANK!

12:55 / 18.05.07

If only leeside's priorities were so clearly and appropriately ordered, wee think my friend.

13:34 / 18.05.07

We shall try not to hold it against her, BIG TANK!, old chum.

I'm sure there exists the most adequate of reasonings behind this very lamentable decision.

15:43 / 18.05.07

Perhaps, wee think.

Perhaps.

Jack The Bodiless

22:08 / 22.05.07

Oh go on, then.

02:02 / 23.05.07

Hooray! Innit.

15:59 / 23.05.07

Yeah, I'm not coming.

19:55 / 23.05.07

That's a shame imaginary mice. We'll make sure there's space for you if you change your mind.

21:53 / 25.05.07

Is it wrong that I think of this as an upcoming 'Busterthon'?

Mysterious Transfer Student

22:05 / 25.05.07

A leading scientist replies:

"Not... at... allll."

15:15 / 28.05.07

Busterthon it is.

Transfer... in addition to your kind offer to bring Cutie Honey and the big nice deluxe FLCL set, would you mind also bringing Gunbuster II?

I have it, and my set is perfectly watchable, it's just that the audio is very very slightly out of synch on episode one (and only on episode one).

If you don't have it, no bother. My set is otherwise fine, and the first episode is nowhere near out enough to spoil enjoyment.

Mysterious Transfer Student

15:58 / 28.05.07

Fuh shuh. Caveat attack: I have GBII on hard drive only so will need to ensure I have a workable DVD copy (same goes for Cutie Honey) but I do after all have a month to sort it out.

Also, my FLCL copy is not the deluxetastic box set but the three original release DVDs, although everything we'll need for an evening's viewing is encloséd.

Later, we'll go to a Chinese restaurant where nothing on the menu is available, my treat.

10:43 / 29.05.07

Not to worry. I've got everything apart from Cutie Honey, so just see if you can get a working copy of that.

However...

IMPORTANT BUSTERTHON NOTICE!

Really sorry about this, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to either bring the Busterthon forward or postpone it.

I don't mean to be a pain. It's due to my bad planning and I hope no one is put out by this too much.

This is the revised list of dates that I can make:

Friday 22.06.07. – Sunday 24.06.07

Friday 27.07.07 – Sunday 29.07.07.

Friday 03.08.07 – Sunday 05.08.07

Friday 31.08.07 – Sunday 02.09.07.

Friday 07.09.07 – Sunday 09.09.07.

I'd personally prefer the first of these and bring it forward by a week, but it depends on what you lot are able to do.

Please list the dates you can do and we'll go with the majority. I'll PM all interested parties to make sure they read this and put in their vote.

Sorry again.

By the way, this is how I format my police incident logs. Sometimes I even put in covert Gunbuster references too.

IMPORTANT BUSTERTHON NOTICE!

*********************************************************************

20:19 / 29.05.07

I've put my vote in for Friday 27.07.07 – Sunday 29.07.07 from the list, as I'm working the first preferred choice.

Essential Dazzler

23:06 / 29.05.07

Friday 27.07.07 – Sunday 29.07.07.

Friday 03.08.07 – Sunday 05.08.07

Friday 07.09.07 – Sunday 09.09.07.

Those are the dates Haloquin and I could manage, we've unavoidable apointments on the others.

Whatever happens we'll just have to wait until a date is decided before we can try and book work off, but we both feel we'd have less trouble getting the 7th - 9th of September off, if that makes a difference.

09:14 / 30.05.07

I can probably only make Friday 22.06.07. – Sunday 24.06.07, since from about August, I intend to escape Southampton and travel the world. Without a gun.

12:57 / 30.05.07

I'm free and easy and okay for any date.

That is until one is locked down and I suddenly find myself unable to commit to it, of course.

RichT's boring old name

15:41 / 30.05.07

I think I'm free for all that lot, but who knows what 'll turn out (especially as I only ever end up doing stuff a week or so in advance)

22:40 / 30.05.07

Is it worth mentioning this to people like Feverfew who couldn't make the original date in case they've stopped followin this thread and could make a different one?

Mysterious Transfer Student

10:17 / 31.05.07

I'll add in for Friday 27.07.07 – Sunday 29.07.07 as well since that seems to be okay for the greatest number of people at this current stage (sorry to seem to be disregarding you, Squirmelia).

Mysterious Transfer Student

10:22 / 31.05.07

Sorry, should have made it clear that I definitely can't do the June 24 date as Deerhoof are playing Cardiff and, well you can see where this is leading. The other dates are all doable as of right now, I chose the July date because I am consensus-loving jellychild.

11:19 / 31.05.07

I've already mailed Feverfew/Peppermints. I want him to be there and I want him to want to be there!

It's official. The new dates are:

Friday 27.07.07 – Sunday 29.07.07

BAREBELIFF CAN HAS BUNGUSTER BEEM!!1!!!WAN!

Jack The Bodiless

21:42 / 31.05.07

Cool, I can still make that.

08:43 / 02.06.07

I will storm the ranger office and DEMAND the time off during our busiest period of the year.

Alternatively, I could discreetly swap shifts.

16:49 / 02.06.07

LOLMICE HAS WANTS JOYNE U!!1!

04:28 / 03.06.07

Excellent. Please do, mice and Princess.
