InactiveI know the november one hasn’t even happened yet, but its time to book those flights home for xmas before the prices sky-rocket.
There is a possibility I’ll be around one 17th and 18th December if something is happening around then.
Is there ?? -

InactiveI would also like to vote for the 17th (Fri) or the 18th (Saturday)
Preferably the 18th as I will be up very early on the 17th to catch the flight home.
17th is not out of the question – I’d just have to have a nap beforehand :p

Something special? Well, it’s Crimbo – how ’bout bringing a bit of festive spirit? Ye each bring a Crimbo card, signed with good wishes and all that, put them all in a bag, and everybody picks one (preferably not theirs :rolleyes: ). Here ya go, Xmas 2004 with extra good wishes. :D

InactiveAphra, dear poor Aphra. Is “Kerry” STILL the only thing you can come up with (despite having returned to your small town/settlement roots)? At least the others are still trying to recycle the pathetic old ideas that they theselves have already become tainted with.
And Doyles is kinda traditional for xmas anyway, right?

Sweat, Ian. He has been pursued by security guards throughout the maternity wing of the paediatric hospital, after having his shirt ripped clean off when it caught on the barbed wire security fence when KITT botched a textbook ejectorseat manouvre over the hospital wall. We see him here posing with the snatched child just before the Feds caught up with him. Allegedly……
Either that or he was sponged off by an adoring German fan

Thats me at the back there. I played Michael Knight’s (evil) twin Garth in season 1, episode 22 and season 2, episode 38 pitting my souped-up truck Goliath against Michael Long < shit I keep calling him that, sorry, Michael Knight > and Kitt along dusty desert highways.

KeymasterHi guys,
Just to let you all know that Toner’s has been booked for Friday 17th December from 7pm. They said it’ll be busy, and that they can hold two tables until then but if anyone can be around earlier, say from 6.30 I’ll be there, my last day of exams so I’ll be going out on the lash with my class that evening so anyone who gets there earlier would be appreciated.

Alas, I must report that not only have I failed in this task, but must report that I, too have succumbed to his allure!! Look out for Hoff easter eggs in all future & current Torc projects!
Even the new associate producer we’re hiring has fallen prey to Dave’s charms and now emails pics of him to us!! It’s incredibly insidious….
