ack-ack Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Nick has suggested a buffet of sorts which he can partially prepare in advance on the Saturday as well as roasting some meat on the Sunday. Nick (with our help) will drive the Sunday food (and Monday brekkie) however Saturday will be more of a free for all. Knowing Nick as we do the buffet is likely to be interesting. Good idea about the keg Mike. All home made booze encouraged too. We must not - on any account - run out of drink. I got three varieties of home pressed cider thanks to the guidance of Twitchynik. It be damn drinkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Sweet. I haven't even bottled my sloe gin yet, or my raspberry and gooseberry gin, or my bramble brandy liqueur. Or the cider I will mix with the sloe berry must after I bottle the sloe gin. Somebody's got to bring some King's Ginger too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Oh and can you get some samphire with those razors, or is it not in season by then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack-ack Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Oh and can you get some samphire with those razors, or is it not in season by then? Should be okay. I don't normally collect it til mid June onwards but there should be a bit about. Might be a bit on the small side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Sauce Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'll have a look down three cliffs valley for some extra samphire to bolster ack ack's and will pick up wild garlic at the sametime for the razor clams. May can't come round quick enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendersons Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Sorry I haven't been involved too much on the planning of this event so far gents.Moving house and various other bits has got in the way of me being on pigeonwatch.But I think those involved have all done us proud. Unfortunately at the moment it is looking like I will be working on saturday so probably will not be able to join you all until it's time for a night cap and our pyjamas. As thunderbird has said I will knock up a buffet at work on saturday and just collect it at some point on sunday. I will do a couple of joints of some sort to go with it and see what else I can come up with. I was thinking maybe we should have a go at one of those big paella jobs for lunch time what do you guys think? I have to admit it does depend on me being able to get hold of one of those big pans and I've never done it before but i'm willing to have a go.If we could get a few rabbits between us, maybe a couple of pigeons and if our herts contingency could do the honours with a few crayfish I reckon we should be ok. For breakfast monday i reckon bacon or sausage sarnies will be cool (Imay attempt full english but i'm a terrible cook when my head hurts). I was also wondering will we be sleeping in dorms? If we are i recommend ear plugs (I may snore a little after a drink :yes: ) and what is the best calibre pillow to use for the first annual pigeonwatch pillow fight? Let me know what you think gents. All the best Nick edit for this bit sorry p.s. is there a list anywhere of who is coming? Edited February 22, 2012 by hendersons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Nick, good to see you on-line, have you the problem sorted or are you on the good ladies i-pad? If you can work a meat list i will do what i can to fill the orders. I will have to see if a few more squirrels with play ball and stand still for a shot. rabbit, pigeon, rook ok? should be about to put a few branchers in the freezer by then. Im not doing the over night thing but if welcome i will pop over for the day and leave in the evening, im not drinking so not a problem.

hendersons Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Nick, good to see you on-line, have you the problem sorted or are you on the good ladies i-pad? I'm on the computer at work.I've got problems at home connecting anything to the net. I'm waiting for an engineer to sort it hopefully monday. As far as the meat list goes the more we get the better. Nick p.s. can you bring one/two of your dogs round soon I think I've nearly talked her into letting me have one. p.p.s. my new car should arrive week on sunday I may head over your way to give it a bit of a test if that is ok with you?

stripey999 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I sent my CV to a company for a new job the other day. They asked if I had a facebook account. I had better not let them know about pigeon watch... full of perverts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
