Green Wing on the big(ish) screen!

[jrt patch]

I'm sure FQ is drawing up a minute by minute plan, in true GW event tradition.....

I rather think that we'll be so busy yakking quaffing and scoffing that we won't watch v much anyway..... seriously, a plan would be good.

Just had a phonecall from the pub saying that we have to choose which timslot we want now as they're going to be quite busy...so I said the 5.30pm til close one. Should still be able to get a few episodes in that!

....Does that mean that there will be enough time to watch all of GW? If not, perhaps we could all put down our favourites and go from there...
Mine are:
S1 - the "party" one (Ep 4?) and the last one and the "Slave Auction" one
S2 - Ep 1, 2 and the last one and...The Special
Its a tough decision as I lurve them all but If I'd have to pick then, they would be my favourites!
What about everyone else then?

Yes before you all start jumping the gun ( ) I was going to make polls on the subject for both forums once the details about the meal have been confirmed. I'm not sure if we'll be able to eat and watch stuff at the same time so I'll ask about that when they contact me to confirm what menu we want. And then I will obviously be able to work out roughly how many eps we'll be able to watch. I've also been thinking about putting a quiz together...

[marinewarden]

It was just an idea FQ - I knew that you would have a plan anyway! A quiz sounds good though!
Let us know if you need a hand with anything?!

[goshandcrikey]

Hi FQ did Baggie send you my money as I was having trouble with the laptop?

[faeriequeen]

Yes she PMed me for my address but I haven't received anything yet.

[faeriequeen]

Got the cheque today, thanks Baggie.

Oh dear, no talking whilst 'The Wing' is on!

hahaha only joking, can't wait.

[Baggiebird]

Your welcome Gabs. Sorry it took me an age to get it sent to you.

[goshandcrikey]

Just in case I don't get online tonight really looking forward to seeing you all again tomorrow and meeting those of you I haven't met before.

I'm leaving Hereford at 8.30, once I've dropped the kittens to my mum's ( she's begining to think they are hers!), get into London around 12 ish. I'm then heading towards oxford street , berwick street as some of my fabric wholesalers have sales on. I have to go fabric shopping for a few clients. Then I'm heading off to the hotel to check in ( anyone know what time we can check in from at the premier inn) once Baggie gets in I'm meeting her to get her to the hotel. Then maybe an episode of GW if we have time then off to see you all.

Leaving London around 12'ish to come back here and try and get the kittens back off mum.

Looking forward to seeing you, I'll be the one hobbling badly!Do you think I 'll find a good doctor anywhere

[ducatilady]

Check in at the Premier Inn is from 2 o'clock Em.

[goshandcrikey]

thanks thought it was but that saved me a phone call

[maisie]

Hope everyone has a wonderful time today - I'm sitting at work and trying not to be too jealous! Looking forward to all the reports

[ch1ch1]

I'll just quote what I posted on the Winging Away forum, shall I?

Have fun, everyone!!!!!!!!!

*like you wouldn't, anyway*

I'll be thinking of you as I toil away @ Monsoon!

[bookgirl]

I hope that everyone had a fantastic time today. Can't wait to hear all about it.

[chatterbox]

Well I had a lovely time.

My photos are now in the gallery here http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/webmasterjrt/Fans%20and%20meetups/Green%20Wing%20London%205th%20Jan%202008/

We watched three episodes with appropriate booing and cheering, whilst consuming just a few drinks (!) and some very nice food. It was good to catch up with people again, and it has made me even more envious of people heading off to the swiss weekend.

The pub was very nice, with friendly staff who took it in their stride when everyone started wearing post-it notes, and I particularly felt for the lone member of staff who was trying to clear plates and glasses whilst Alan and Joanna were getting it on in the park

Thanks again to Faeriequeen for organising the event - brilliant The only trouble is that we are going to want you to do it again now

[jrt patch]

Hear, hear - couldn't agree more, Chatterbox.

It was a wonderful evening - thanks to FQ for organising it all, and yes, she'll have to do it all again now....

What a fab way to spend my birthday! Watching GW in likeminded company.

The funniest part was when nearly everyone got out their phones and played exactly the same ringtone........

[spence]

twas fab! and yes of course we must do it again!!

You can never have too much of 'The Wing'!

Great photot's Kim I've swiped the link if thats ok

[chatterbox]

Of course Spence

And JRT Patch - I didn't know it was your birthday!! At least I know you had a good one!!

Have one of these anyway...

[faeriequeen]

I'm just glad that my organisational skills weren't made of fail in the end! Lol. And thanks again to you all for the champagne and card.

The only trouble is that we are going to want you to do it again now

Well I'm going to be abroad most of next year so someone else will have to do it.

[Rosie]

Adding my thanks, FQ, for a really enjoyable evening - and a belated Happy Birthday to jrt patch!

The fact that we were all still laughing at scenes we'd seen so many times before is proof of what a great show GW will always be. And as for the noises that greeted Dr Mac's appearances on screen...!
