Forgot to ask: B, are you bringing Odo too? And how many people think they're kipping at mine? I've lost track a bit

Might I be able to stake a claim for a spare bit of floor space? 
I was considering the B&B option but my car's up to its tricks again so I'm skint.

I reckon so 6. I've got more space than I thought because two people who should've been coming aren't now.
Rules for my house, I shall post them once, and only once:
The house is a tip. Deal with it.
We smoke. Deal with it
The dog is possibly bigger than you and almost certainly more stupid.
It only responds to 'fxck off'. We're not polite enough to teach it 'go away'.
Don't touch the armoury, unless you know how to use the object you're prodding.
Make lots of 
, and you will be loved.

Odo probably is coming. I'll sleep in the car if necessary.
Which, what with the snoring and farting, might be best for everyone.

This is probably a *very* rude question, but how much smoking is smoking? I only ask because when I stay with some other friends of mine who are very heavy smokers I get very ill with my asthma afterwards. But I can cope with pubs - as people have seen from meets. Are you more or less smoky than a pub? 
Because I'd like to take up the offer of a bit of floor space if I may?

Nah, you're alright B. After all, you *were* one of the first people I offered floorspace to 
Which reminds me, due to the afore mentioned dropping out, there is now one double mattress for all you lovely people to fight over....
Doesn't strike me as rude Mina
Err, the house *can* be smokier than a pub, yes. Not because we're particularly heavy smokers, but because the rooms are small- and there'll be at least 4 smokers, as I believe GD and agcBen are plannin' on staying.

Get me drunk enough and I may be partial to a cigar or two as well.

Well, as it's only one night, I should be ok. It's long weekends that seem to do me in.
Can I bagsy the mattress?

If you let Odo share it with you, I should think so.
Cigars- got plenty of them. I keep some around the house for when Dad comes visiting.
Right, so that's what:
Master B
Odo
Mina
Number 6
GreyDesk
agcBen
Z
I think I'll nip round my parents' house and borrow some airbeds... Bring sleeping bags guys, although we do have a couple.

You can move me from the provisional to the definite list. I will come along with my partner.

Yep. If they're too pricey let me know and I'll get a number for one of the others.

I imagine it'd be quite difficult for a B&B to outprice itself in Burton-upon-Trent.

You forget Pirelli and Toyota are just up the road, there are a lot of business customers around. Granted they tend to stay in the bigger hotels, but still.
