The Tickled Pink Ribbon Relay: a Jooky Forum Fundraiser

[stickyfiddle]

I work from home (Bromley By Bow), so can come in pretty much any time except Tuesdays, when I'm usually on the phone half the day; lunchtime or any time after 5 obviously easier

[mctoot]

Anytime afternoon-ish on Thurs should be ok for me. The later it is (ie>4pm!) the more likely I can sneak off home immediately after we meet ... via a quick drink of course!

I'll PM monquixote and let him know - will hopefully hand over him on Saturday.

From Monquixote to Trotter (where's he at, when he's not in Thailand?), then either back to me to transport into London & Mr Fiddle, or for Trotter to get it to its next stop himself?


I'm guessing sometime late next week or early the week afterwards. Are LSt meetings OK for you at anytime during a day ... or should I carefully throw it out of a passing train at Stratford??

I think Trotter is in Cambridge. I'm really hoping that's not too far from you so that he can get it back to you. Failing that it might have to go completely in reverse from Trotter back to Nick and Nick to you...

As for Thursday, I'm a man of leisure at the moment so I'm happy to meet at, say, 4:30 at a hostelry of your choosing to pass on the tweed case of Jookyness. I may be meeting an old friend back towards the West End at 6-ish, so a quick beer would be good and would see you homeward bound at a goodly time. I suspect your herd of Kawais need attending to, before you cook supper for your Bailey Build...

Cambridge is about as close to London as it is to me (Monquixote is about half-way between me & Cambridge) ... so it might be easier for Trotter & Stickyfiddle to do the meet-at-a-service-station-handover thing that you seem to have popularised, somewhere down the M11 to get it back into London.

4.30 @ LSt on Thurs should be fine. I believe that there are one or two refreshment outlets in the area. I'll PM you my mobile no just in case anything changes ...

Some good looking guitars you've got there FoM, must be some crazy genius going on, I reckon...

TPO looked very at home. It also plays like a dream. I wonder how much it'll go for? I wonder if I raid the piggy bank - oh shit I forgot I don't have a piggy bank

[mctoot]

Right - onwards and upwards.

The TPO was handed back to me (I've had it once already) at a slightly odd pub on the A22 North of Eastbourne by Simon (Fatoldman) after he had recorded some guitar parts for a song with it. I shall jump on a train and hoik it up to the big smoke to pass it on to TTony, who will take it home to Kawai Towers in Suffolk... Thence a couple of visits in East Anglia before heading back to London.

Londonites - brace yourselves.

[TTony]

Good to see you again Jules!

Mrs TPO had an unusual journey out to the Wilds. Unusual in that the heating in the train was actually working. AND the train was on time. Most unusual, or perhaps the influence of the TPO ... ??

Luckily, I'd remembered to explain to Mrs TT that I'd be coming home with a guitar, but that I hadn't bought it and that it wouldn't be staying ... So I still have all my normal body parts intact!

Its a brief stay here. It's off to Monquixote tomorrow lunchtime. Hopefully some Suffolk related pics before it goes.


TPO relaxing on a Friday night ...

Yay, Can't wait

[mctoot]

Awesome. Glad you got back swiftly Tony - good to see you again too and thanks for the black medicine my wisdom tooth is feeling chilled!

Here is the pic I took just before scarpering up to the City. The TPO having a bit of a chat with my herd (including the Gibson you sold me).

[TTony]

(including the Gibson you loaned me).

I'll swap you for a couple of body blanks and a decent soldering iron ...

Lemme think about that...



... No you're alright, ta.
