Beer thirty
[info]addedentry and I are having a birthday party at our place on Saturday May 10th. (That's not next Saturday but the one after.) I will be 30, he won't be (any more).


When: Tea/cake/faff from 3pm, proper party from party o'clock.
Where: HERE. If you don't have our address and/or you want directions, email/comment.
RSVP: would be helpful so we know vaguely how many people we're expecting.
Partners/children/friends: welcome, unless they are likely to start arguments or try to molest my badgers.
Pets: just not practical, sorry. Unless you have some very very tiny kittens.
Drinks: there will be some (including weird shit from the depths of the booze-cabinet), but more is always welcome! :-)
Eats: there will be nibbles and (if I have time to bake it) cake, and there are various vendors of munchies within spitting distance.
Spitting: not allowed, especially at our local munchies-vendors.
Smoking: also not allowed! Not even on the balcony (my birthday, my rules).
Badgers: positively encouraged (they don't count as pets).

Any other questions that I've failed to pre-empt, please ask!


And sorry for rather short notice -- lots of indecision and disorganisation round here at the moment...

ETA: and if you have suggestions for things I should do before I'm 30, feel free to post 'em here, bearing in mind I only have a week and I'll be at work for most of it...

Thanks for the invite, and we'd love to come (I've not been in Oxfnord for, oh, weeks!), but we have a previous engagement that evening.

Happy Birthsday to you both.

Am also previously engaged, I'm afraid.

Alas, prior engagements...

Nah, save your list so you have some cool things to look forward to doing once you're 30 :-)

I will be post-exams so have Absolutely Nothing Better To Do, but will just have come back from Edinburgh and will probably be Dead Of Train :-(

I was feeling vaguely guilty today about being in the city and not seeing people (I have somehow found myself in the very odd position of knowing more people in Oxford than in the city where I've lived for the last 25 years), and I have no plans for that weekend. Spending an evening without spitting, smoking or starting arguments may be difficult, but I might be able to manage it. I'll have a think.

Oh dear - we'll be on the Snæfellsnes peninsula coz of honeymoonz part 2.

However all is not lost, the post fairy has been primed...

Have a great party.

I haven't been to Oxford for ages, and it'd be lovely to see you both, so I'll come down for tea and cake faff. Is there a sofa I could sleep on?

Bollocks, I'm going to be in the middle of exams and also in Manchester. Dammit.

It looks increasingly likely that I'll be away on holiday that weekend in Devon or Essex or Derbyshire or Shropshire (we really must get ourselves organised and book one of them) so I'm afraid apologies will have to be offered!

If I come over for teacake faff then I can bring that Airport for you... This does sound like a plan.

I might have to borrow crash space, and bandwidth the next morning to try and get folk festival tickets though.
