Day 3 - Fri 4th Feb - SMOKE AND MIRRORS...

[Easy 10]

The LDC lawyer always like to have a lay-in on Mondays.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Sorry Chappers, the lady is with me.
I'm taking her to Cheeky Chicken tomorrow night. Once she is dizzy from the heady delights of a filletburger with mayonnaise (no salad), we shall be embarking on some sweaty fumblings behind the wheelie bins in Little Preston St.

I'll pass on your regards.

Have you made adequate provision for spectators?

How many people do you anticipate will turn up on bicycles?

Will there be a parking exclusion zone around Little Preston Street?

I hear its because Monday is special breakfast day down Noras Greasy Spoon. Mr White can't miss the chance of having double bacon and eggs!

Spectators will be accomodated at the kitchen windows of Dig in the Ribs, which overlooks the alleyway. Additional provisions have been made for people to occupy Mr Woo's back passage, should numbers dicate.

As for bicycles - I have catered for potential of 12.4% of the spectators to arrive by bike, and will be hoping to get a "backy" home off one of them. No parking restrictions, but it will be on a first-come first-served basis.

 

[CHAPPERS]

As I've already made clear, I am appearing as a representative of Chappers.

Excellent news.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Can I put in an early request for a press pass? Only I can't be responsible for the behaviour of any "away members" or non season ticket holders who are denied the chance to get a good look on the night...

17 Feb Friends of Waterhall, Friends of Whitehawk Hill, Society of Sussex Downsmen

This I have GOT to see!

 

[Biscuit]

Falmer Parish Council - Tom Carr

Who is he?

 

[Rangdo]

No doubt someone is considering this. But there is a ton and a half of paperwork that would need to be moved around. And it would have to be a big front room to fit all the spectators in.

I'll carry a few boxes. I'm sure between us we could get it shifted. The layout in the Font & Firkin would suit an inquiry. The first ever public inquiry with a bar.

 

[The Large One]

Aaaarrggghhhh!! Farmer Carr. Radio 4 countryside pundit extraordinaire.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Who is he?

He's my FRIEND with a pointy finger.

Radio Nimby

Radio Nimby

you look transfixed in this pic as if he has you under some sort of trance or something

 

[perseus]

Thanks for going to the trouble of posting the list Lord Bracknell.

If I remember correctly, anybody wishing to speak has to indicate before the Public Inquiry their intentions.

I just wondered if a list was available? If there were any surprises? I do not expect any. For this reason, it is not really important, so do not go out of your way.

I thought it was him, wasn't his farm in the argus recently because of the smell of shit?

why? you're not planning a session on the area known as PENDE are you?

 

[The Large One]

That was the farmer thinking...

 

[perseus]

No, I declined to do so. The less said about that the better.

 

[Marc]

PHEW! <wipes brow>

 

[Kev the Ape]

Fantastic account. Made me laugh. Mr White is a brainless twat and what does he want to do on this professional engagement shag his missus aint she had enough of it then. Another typical delay by the nimbys.
