Not been on for months, but finding myself in a similar position I looked to see if there was any previous examples of my situation - Shelter it is then ...

Well, I'm pastied out for the day (only the one, mind)

20th sounds good to me Lex. Crush?

Yes, it is wronger than a wrongety wrong wrong, but still better than no pasty munching at all...I'll try and fit three in for the gang, but I guess I will struggle with the third...

LOL...well, rumours abound, as they are bound to, and I am bound to silence...but then I was bound to say that!

Okay, I shall have a solitary oggie fest tomorrow lunchtime (-#

Tomorrow anyone...?

Perfect for me...

I know...that is what Pasty Withdrawal Symptoms does to a person...

We all gonna meet for a pasty next week?

My dispute with Skills Train has been settled to the satisfaction of both parties.

Now that my claim has been settled I am requesting that this thread is closed, that ALL my previous posts be deleted, and I shall not be responding further to ANY queries on this matter.

Thank you.

Naaah! He's just a greedy git, likes birthdays (and birthday cake) so much he wants one every week...

Dave the Queen? Not sure if he will like that one...

Oh deary deary me...Dave's Facebook status is thanking everybody (presumably for their good wishes) but stating that it is not his birthday...

Anyone else have Dave as a Facebook friend, anyone else think it is his birthday because Facebook tells them so?

The old adage holds true: there is no such thing as computer error, the computer only does what it is told to do. Somewhere, somehow, the computer has been told it is Dave's birthday...and it wasn't me Guv, honest!

Yes...Dave, goes under the username of Dave...as Blue says, you do know him.

Bloody buggerations, Bookie's blimming bnockering bores bad boys...

...to Dave...for tomorrow.

I'm for an oggie anytime...anytime but tomorrow that is...just say the word, and I'll be there.

Right...so I'm not being blamed for anything then?

Subbed...

W/S 10 Nov?

 

ummm.... 11th Nov is good.

Week after next? Well, it would seem that HMRC are on strike on Mon 10th, so I may get an extended lunch hour, and on 12th, he who shall remain nameless is being 'interrogated' by the standards committee...I want to be on hand for any developments as they occur...

Apart from that, any time is good for an oggie...as long that anytime is in my lunch hour...Crush? Over to you...

How about Friday? I got the day off on Friday...and also got some interesting developments on what I was yabbering on about last time...I promise my 'subject' won't dominate the next meeting

Odd - I just woke up and read the email, and was a bit surprised. I clicked the link to the image of the letter/fax, and then tried logging in unsuccessfully...

I tried Martin's link, and that seems to work, so I am also confused as to just what is going on. I tend to agree with Zooman, and believe this is a hoax, and for one simple reason: whenever Stephen sends an email, it is always full of atrocious spelling, grammar and punctuation (bless his cotton socks) but the one announcing the closure hardly turned a hair for me.

In light of Zooman's theory, I looked again, and all I could find was ' copy of there fax for you to read' 'There'...yes, that would be a Stephen word, but it is the only such instance.

I noticed also that the email address was spelt the same way as Stephen spells it, so whoever sent the email is trying to be like Stephen, but clearly they don't know him well enough. However, I just downloaded the email to Thunderbird anyway, just to have a look, and this is what I found:

Bugger...can we poss do it the week after...first week in November?

So when is the next Pasty meet then ?? (with a salad box for Crush)

Yes - this really was made, and is not one of the urban myths like all the (non-existent) Captain Pugwash and Magic Roundabout kiddy programmes - I think there are three smutty Rainbow spoofs in total - I will try and find the others for those that want them...
