So, just to finalise: Tomorrow (Saturday) at around 1ish, Dr Bath, GrlumpTheElder, Trilby and Lime are gonna come to Guy's place in Bramley. If you turn up at Bramley Station (I think most of the buses stop near there, too), one of us will go get you.
Yay :3
If not, you can take the 670, 760 or 15, any bus that goes up past Kirkstall Road, get off by the Acorn Pub and walk up. I can show you the way.

It was pretty fun! Maybe if Bath actually responds and I'm still in the area and Guy doesn't blow a gasket we could do it again next weekend...?

Alright blokes and dudes. I've gotta talk to Qwaz about stuff, but if I'm still at Guy's we're up for another Saturday gaming thingy next week (28th of April). If I'm not still here, well, you'll have to ask Guy if you can still come.

There's also the possibility that I'll drive Serpentine to the next location on a weekend day (if and only if there is some kind of daytrip in it for me ).

Succubus: one way or another, I won't be staying with Guy any more by then. Other than that, I don't really know at this point.

Lime, Grlump, Dr. Bath (also Trilby, but you've already given a negative): Guy's place this Saturday again? We can get pizza or something for dinner.

Well also I'll be in York for a trial day (at 4pm) on Thursday. Grlump might come hang out with me then, and Guy's happy to pick us up and hang out at his in the evening. I'd imagine you'd be welcome to join us, and I'd very provisionally and speculatively, pending approval from the landlord, suggest that it would be okay for you to stay overnight if need be (although we'd have to be quiet when Guy goes to bed for work the next day).

Yay! Absolutely. Basically, you just have to get off (bus or train) at Bramley Station, and one of us will come get you.
Shame Trilby can't come, I hope Lime can, and I assume Grlump will.
I wanna see The Avengers too...

All my last post was about Saturday, by the way. Are you not sure about that, or about tomorrow? Cuz I'm really not gonna blame you if you don't come tomorrow, looks like it's gonna be miserable.

Lime and Grlump (and anyone else in the area): I have some work tomorrow from 2 (don't know what time I'll finish), and Guy's gonna come pick me up from York. If it's not raining, we'll see if the folk singing will be on. Anyone wanna come with?

edit: I really, really hate being in limbo, especially when I'm not the only one who needs to know what's going on. So, for those people and I guess for anyone else interested, here's my sitch:
I had a trial day at a place called Crazy Bubble Tea today. It's weird, but pretty tasty. I have another day tomorrow, and a trial week next week. I guess after that, I'll know whether I have the job or not. I'll try to insist that I get told on Friday at the latest, because I need to make decisions. But regardless, for next week I'll probably have to find somewhere to stay for that time, cuz it might get a bit silly if I have to travel nearly 2 hours each way, costing nearly 10gbp, every day. If I need to I can do it, though.
If I do get the job, I'll have to find somewhere permanent in the York area to live. I'll also need somewhere temporary, whilst I find aforementioned permanent place.
If I don't get the job, I'll be heading up to Qwaz's that weekend (or as soon as I know about it), assuming the offer hasn't expired by then due to Richarding about
So there you have it. That's my position as it stands right now.
