HWDC Event 1 - Gosport Chain Stitch Massacre

[Megatron1505]

I'm not sure I'll be able to drink enough to get a hangover….. as it is the Chain Stitch Massacre, I had better be in a fit state to actually do some chain stitching 

[CLJ]

Might I suggest a Costco size Advil bottle for hangovers and hemmed out hands. Looking forward to pictures of the event!

The best painkillers are from the USA. I favour Aleve, and thanks to Doug I have an olympic sized bottle to hand out next weekend.

I love reading, "Best (insert anything) is from the USA".

@Megatron1505:

Excellent news Ruedi, shall I save your belt for you to pick up at the event?

Sorry for late answer: If not too late: Yeah hold my belt up and bring it to the CSM

See you soon in 2 days

[Giles]

I'd be in a car atm driving to Liege, but apparently I am not allowed to touch the bloody shipment until it gets to UK…...

[Chris]

So you're pacing around, smoking and cursing?

[Giles]

My TNT rep made the mistake of saying "I'm surprised you have not shouted at me".  My response was "Is that an invitation?", upon affirmation he got both barrels…....

[Chris]

Kind of him to dive on a grenade for the TNT team like that.

He's pacing around, cursing and unwrapping chocolates…

[Giles]

Still trying to track the bloody things down…....

[FurattoHeddo]

Is TNT Special Services going to organize a bullet van to get these boxes to your door step? They should be able to do that if needed…

[swiss-jeansfreak]

To sustain G's power, I'll bring some Swiss chocolate to the CSM
Hope this will help?

Make it the dark stuff

As an aside, I feel for Giles in this situation.  Just want him, Paula and the rest of the IH crew to know that I'm psyched about meeting everyone on Saturday, regardless of whether the MBBs arrive on schedule

[Megatron1505]

Whatever happens, we're going to have a fun meet up, some beers and some laughs, it will be cool.

[Giles]

Now to see if I can get hold of them….

Goodluck! Can't imagine you taking No for an answer considering they're so close.

[Giles]

Just got off the phone with customer services (sorry, diservices) who told me that the shipment would arrive on Tuesday and that they could not get in touch with Stanstead and I could not go and pick it up.

Left VM for my rep and emailed him and his boss…..

[SimonQ.]

havnt you payed for express or something like that? i though ups and stuff (yeah, you used TNT or FedEx now), will give you money back if they don´t deliver on time and there is nothing like the third world war going on.

just curious.. sure, does not give you the jeans but maybe a big amount of money back.
