Four-minute warming

As per earlier warning, we're having a housewarming party on Saturday January 27th. That's this Saturday, from, ooh, about party o'clock.

Partners/children/friends welcome. There will be some drinks but mostly Weird Shit From The Back Of The Cupboard so if you want to guarantee that a sane drink will be available you're probably best bringing it yourself. There will be nibbles and (if I have time to bake it) cake, and in case of Munchies Emergencies the Co-op is about 30 seconds' walk from our house and stays open until 11pm.

There may be Singstar if enough people want to and enough other people don't mind.

[livejournal.com profile] addedentry has spent the last two weeks writing an exhaustingly exhaustive guide to finding our house. If you get lost, phone us (if you don't have a number and want one, ask).

Any other questions that I've failed to pre-empt, ask!

I'm hoping to make it - I'm considering cycling some or all of the way; but this would make me liable to arrive all sweaty & unpleasant. Would there be any chance of borrowing yr shower & a towel on arrival?

Open to all?

(It's just I would have expected some friends-locking, that's all.)

I have your address, but none of the invitation posts contain it (so I've just had to look up your postcode in my PDA to work out a route).

Party o'clock = six in the morning, right?

We are considering it, though being on a course all day may prevent me. If so, too bad - I don't get to see two ace people nearly often enough.

I think I'm not going to make it, as it happens. Have a good party!

I would love to come but I have to be up reasonably early on Sunday (and in suitably bright-eyed-bushy-tailed state to talk on lunchtime radio for an hour) so I think a jaunt to Oxenforde might be beyond me :(

Erm, I'll be there; I shall try and bring some friends. But I shall also aim for a nightbus home, so I won't be crashing.

I shall endeavour to be there. I have already promised to be elsewhere in Oxford this Sunday, so would it be possible to book approx. two square feet of floor for the night, as hinted at in your previous post?

Gah. I wanted to come to this, but I had to go to Nottingham at short notice on Friday to look after a poorlygirl, so I stood my clubmates up at short notice, I think clearing off again might be rude, and I may have company myself. Umm. I Will Come To Oxford Soon!

Okay.... I shall see you down there, probably with a bottle of Mr. Gordon's finest mothers' ruin. Would you be able to find room for a half-house-trained northerner who's not too worried about the badgers biting?

As I mentioned last night, I'm planning to be there!

Owen doesn't mention the U1 buses on his page, these would be that ones that people with X5 combined Stagecoach tickets would use. They stop on the bottom of Westminster Way, in the same place as the 4s that turn that way. That's a point, he doesn't mention the fact that some 4s will turn up westminster way.

Sorry I can't make it though.

Am I being deeply dumb? I see no house number, and the prospect of arriving at Elms Parade and yelling "Oi Janet!" until either you notice me or the police turn up to cart me off for being a public nuisance is unappealing.

Well, I have your mobile number, anyway.
