110... 11000... Blimey. I'm hoping the decimal point is positioned in a different place in the measurement I get given.

It's nearly half a week since the draw, so please can we have a head count?

Please can you let Reg and myself know if like me you are still waiting to hear back from your virtual partner?

We need to make the call on Saturday evening to pair up those who are partnerless so GR's can be exchanged before Christmas Eve :-bd

I've also highlighted the pairs that have confirmed in this thread that they are in contact with their virtual partner.
Please let me know if all is going well for you either on this thread or drop me a message on here so I can highlight more pairs.

John have been in contact with Mbnut/Nigel and the relevant parties are cackling as if in a Shakespearean drama as the grid refs are decided upon.

Me and Sean (tobasco) are in contact, so no issues there.

At risk of being the responsible adult, can I suggest everyone remembers that not everyone spends every spare minute browsing the forum, and that many people have a lot going on in what they might, unfairly perhaps, refer to as "real life", what with there being a bit of a bug going round (so I've heard) and most of the country going nuts about some beardy bloke being born a long time ago? What I'm trying to say is, don't panic, Christmas Eve is still over a week away.

seanny d and I have been in touch, setting out some ground rules.

I didn't think there was much of a rush though. I don't really care if I don't get mine until the New Year some time.

Yeh why?
Mainly because I'm a grumpy git and that always sounds like such an American thing to say. Bit like going into a shop and starting off with "can I get". :wink:

This is such fun! Just browsing a bit in my lunch break, and so far I have "The Butts" on Cocking Hill; Cross Dykes on Butser Hill; and The Devils Ditch :lol: . Dave, if you're listening, I just need an area from you please, no rush as such, just so I know roughly where and how far out I should search for more appropriately named places :cool:

I remember one meeting where I nearly yelled out "full house!" in the middle of a salesman's pitch since I'd been mentally playing buzzword bingo throughout it. I only resisted because it was our salesman and the MD was in the room too.
