    This Friday (27th). Excitingly this is an immediately pre-PoP PY too.

    Usual deal, usual place, usual time range (? @gembo may wish to be early), usual black (coffee) market exchanges of items.

    I wish to be early 7.30a.m. Any takers?

    Too early for me, but I could be there by say 08:15?

    You can then all lie down in front of the diggers to stop them from putting a trench through MMW just before POP ...

    A ghost trench has been spray-painted on MMW. May add 'DO NOT DIG HERE' with spray-chalk tomorrow.

    > stop bulldozer

    You lie down in the path of the advancing bulldozer.

    I am having an actual flashback. That was a FIENDISH game. It took me weeks and weeks of playing on the library computer to get out of the house alive.

    @sallyhinch is THIS when the PoP induced nervous breakdown kicks in?

    @unhurt - How many times are you checking the forecast a day? When it gets to hourly, seek help

    Ok fimm, timing good but if you could confirm that would be even better

    @unhurt I managed to complete it once, but only with the aid of a thoroughly highlighted InvisiClues Hint Book (I suspect that we had to order a second highlighting pen to reveal enough (i.e. all) of the hints). Unfortunately my parents gave away the game box when they got rid of our old home computer so I ended up buying an almost complete replacement on Ebay, although it is sadly missing the bag of pocket fluff and that invaluable InvisiClues Hint Book.

    I probably won't make PY as usual since Friday looks like being the morning with least rain and wind this week so I will do last minute PoP flyering somewhere on the towpath.

    @unhurt, @jdanielp

    I dared not look, but I played that game on an Amstrad word processor in the dim and distant. Put me off that kind of game (there's a name for them right?) for life. Don't think I ever escaped the initial scenario.

    @IWRATS either interactive fiction or text adventure.

    Cheers. That's my autobiography's strapline sorted.

    Did someone way pedant? Shouldn't the thread title be "PY or S for pedants April 2018"?

    Or, even more pedantically, "PY, or SP for pedants, April 2018"?

    I was tempted to mention Muphry. Glad to see I managed to invoke him.

    Think I am probably going to cycle to work rather than come and drink coffee tomorrow.

    Thanks to Fimm for the headsup, I hadn't found this thread as I had only checked the "events" folder.

    I intend to be at PYorSB from 8-930ish

    PY means PY.

    (For end of the month Friday coffees, when it’s not dry/warm enough to sit outside.)

    Breakfast means breakfast.

    I won't make it tomorrow (as usual), but can I put in an advance request for The Counter in May, weather allowing?

    May means maybe.

    Looks like if I go early no one will be there so I will not go. See you all tomorrow at pop?

    Small people with no ability to sense urgency prevent me.
