For whom it may concern:

My train arrives at Birmingham international airport at 1.04 PM, I know this is quite early so I don't expect anyone to actually be there yet but I'm just putting it out there. Grimmie kindly volunteered to pay for my cab fare so you really don't have to show up just for me, I'll be fine.

I'm sure I can get there in time to pick you up.

I already offered to grab Mr J as it's right on my route, I suggested he post the time in case anyone else was able to get there at around the same time.

Doesn't really matter to me, just see what's most convenient for either of you and let me know.

Guy. Guys. Food. What food do you want. We want booze orders because we'll get the shopping delivered on friday morning. Also snacks and stuff. Also I'm going to do a home cooked meal one of the nights, what do people want to eat? Spag Bol? Pie and Mash? Sunday Roast? Give me ideas and I shall give you slightly questionable nutrition.

As mentioned before I'll eat anything but I have preferences for pie and mash or a roast. I said that roast as a joke but if it's not super expensive and somewhat feasible I'd love that. Naturally, I'll help out with cooking if I can.

As for booze and snacks, some kind of beer would be good. Not Stella but everything else is fine, I'll probably pick some up with Wiggy or FJ. Other things I drink are whiskey and rum. For snacks I'm always up for some of them there donuts and maybe some mini pretzels.

Oh hey, yeah. I like food. Pie and mash is a favourite and it's relatively quick to cook. Easy to cook drunk too! If you let me know where you're likely to get your shopping from, I'll request booze. Protip - mysupermarket.co.uk for potential savings - you pick a store, do your shop and it tells you what the same shop would cost you elsewhere. It also lets you export your basket to the supermarket of your choice (saves you from having to add all your items again) and does other helpful stuff like suggest cheaper alternatives to stuff. I also like mini pretzels, crisps, donuts, peanuts (roasted) and the occasional orphan. Also bacons. Many bacons.

We'll do the shopping on Tesco probably, because we can get free delivery, though I think Asda do free delivery over a certain amount. So I guess it depends on deals and stuff. I'll have a look and report back x

I've grown to love roasts lately and the idea of us all sat around like a family eating a traditional roast is hilarious to me for some reason. I'd definitely like that.

Pie and mash worked at beardbash though and it will absolutely work at brumbash.

Beers: Hooper's cloudly lemonade/dandelion and burdock is my new favourite if you could get me a few of those that'd be swellllll

That's nice find, although it seems to suggest that only Morrisons and Waitrose do free delivery - I've never used any of them so I don't really know how they work. I guess there some limit on all of them, so I can't order one packet of crisps and have them delivered in five minutes.

I'm fine with the all the foods, will grab some booze on the way and might even try and make a cake or something to bring.

Right ok, So I've decided to do a Sunday roast! Was thinking about getting a joint of pork and a chicken plus mash, roasters, veg, yorkshire pudding, gravy....

Anythign else? Thoughts? Problems?

Mr J, I have the whole day off so I'll aim to get there roughly the same time as you again. At least then we can sit, drink expensive coffee and scowl at people, like I imagine the French would.

Also Em, that sounds lovely!

That sounds swell Tandy, I've gotten really good at moustache twirling and pretending to speak French so bring on the coffee. Anyone else coming in by train?

Have you guys made a decision about what you're doing on the Saturday yet?

I might be tempted to take the train into brummingham.

We're going to Warwick Castle

And Warwick Davis will be there. If not, so help me Odin I will dress up the smallest person I can find as him.

Warwick Castle! That's all of 15 minutes away in the car...

Tickets are booked, I should be at Brum International for 13:39. I'll bring my best scowling hat. My return train is on Monday at 14:38 from Brum International.

That's all of 15 minutes away on foot... However there's a wedding occurring that weekend so I'm not sure if I will be able to take advantage of the most convenient bash event ever.
