h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I don't mind bringing along some plastic cups,paper plates and cutlery with our lot (we'll prolly grab some other bits too)
But what about crisps?(theyre not on the list) and would cheese spread be better (or at least easier) than regular cheese?

cool I'll put on the page that you are bringing those then I was thinking with cheese now, that a lot of it you can get in slices or ready grated, that might work fairly well; asnd If I can get a good deal on the rolls from the bakery, I was thinking I could butter them up/slice them on teh morning before I come over; would that work alright, or would they go yuk if i did that?

You missed off 'Beer, Ale, Stout, Bitter, ;ager 9if we must), Mead, Rum and Dancing Girls.

Oh, and a tartan blanket.

You can't have a picnic without a tartan blanket on the ground. Fact.

we didn't have a tartan blanket last year

so i'll get some plastic cups,plates and cutlery ..and i will nag those going from here to decide what there going to bring n come n tell you

Put Crisps on the list, I'll add the blanket Not sure if the formating looks right though

It doesn't look too bad

So you bringing a bulk of rolls n cheese then 2 legs? ..i think it'd be best to butter them there

Yes, but then last years picnic wasn't really was it?
Not from where I was anyway, or did you go off and have your own private picnic away from the hoi-poloi?

Probably; I've still not got round to asking them at the bakery what they'l do a big order of them for; how many rolls do you think we'l need? they are pretty big rolls and tasty depending on how much they, and the beer is, I might bring cheese too, depending on how big my bag is I added a few more 'essentials' to the list too

ok ok it wasn't a 'proper' picnic..but still

yes i noticed your additions 2legs..

How many usually turn up for the afternoon part?
30?

"How many usually turn up for the afternoon part? "
Answer: Some. Less than said they would butmore than you planned for

2Legs, can I just ask a slightly awkward question? How come you can put up this page but can't modify the main meet page?

I'll bring the cake!

'The' cake? I think we might need more than one for everybody

Ictoan- I don't know; it let me creat this, and I just went and tried altering the main meet page; with some sucess, though it isn't nicely laid out now; but I've got some more information on teh main page now too about the afternoon gaggle Bob knows what my laptop was doing first time I tried.... I'll have a go later today, or tomorrow at making it better on teh main page and this page, but for now I'll have to let my laptop 'rest' its overheating like mad as am i

But it's a magic cake, it replenishes whenever someone takes a slice

Ah, magic cake. Now there's an idea....

won't 40 odd cakes melt a bit on the train?

ain't no chocolate in my magic cakes!

(why does that sound like a line from a dodgy porn film? Or is that just me that thinks that?)

No, cos we're flying - and I'll buy them when I get there, you numpty

Right hopefully this is on the right page

I would like to attend the picnic and i can bring:

Bottles of various beverages
multipacks of crisps
a tartan blanket, if i can get it from under my mums cat

You are indeed on the right page
