Does anyone know if the DVD player has a remote control for it?

Methinks the DVD player currently wired up is different from the one yesterday. Why was it switched does anyone know?

Hmmmm, so many mysteries.

Do you want to make a gay man very happy?

There are two ways. One would be to help me out in the kitchen today. We need people 5-10, then night shifts too. Give us a call if you can help.

The second...you're too young to know.

What's the specs?

2 hrs a day? Random days? You get a free ****** when you do and vollie discount as ususal?

It'll be about a year or two before I'm due another head wound. I fear baseballs may increase the chances of this being sooner rather than later.

As discussed at a recent (tonight's) Volunteer WGroup meeting... Should the Forest keep a MySpace page? Some people may thing it's grand and useful, but others find it's evil and thus even uttering the word 'Forest' will go against their personal Karma. But, who votes the most? ****** No decisions w...

The Super Ethical Milkman came today. He bounced along to Super Girl Romantic Boy before entering discussions. I adore him already. Do we want milk deliveries Mon, Wed, Fri? How much?

Mmmm...would have prefered to keep it 8pm if it's already up there as. With it being tomorrow, and we *need* to keep consistencies if we want people to trust that meetings are going to be when they say they are.

Then again, it may be just us again? I hope it's more.

I was given the impression that I should leave it alone becasue people who know what to do, people will have a delecate system for various plants, we don't want to overwater or overwork things that don't need it etc etc. Whereas some of us have intution and knowledge, some of us lack either/both ski...

The buget for throws etc. was for £50, given to Office Cleaning Ninjas from a buget that hadn't been used previously.

I'm sure this was brought up before and gallery peeps would prefer no workshops due to danger of artist's work being destroyed.

What about the lady with the Bowling Ball!!!

It's true, and the Volunteer forum expecially is a bit far down the page so now as necessarily striking.

I like Dai's idea to have someone at a computer signing up properly.

Maybe we should have an, if you can tell us what such and such post says we will love you this way.

I'm around constantly for the foreseeable future. Will be able to cover as much as possible, need to sit down with this when I get back?

In the true Forest way, I think we need to give the consumers as little choice as possible.

I think it's a *bad idea* to serve salads and whatnots from the display fridge. This is because my brain can't see how it works. So, do it and see how well it works.

I think we have the advertising sorted. But what's the product?

I think we need a new name for it. Someone had an argument with me about the fact we can't call them smoothies without crushed ice.

So, the 'mouthpiece of the forest' CIA Nights, is not publishing regularly these days. And for good reason we'll all see in the near future i hope. For now there is no newsletter of any kinds.

Tomorrow, there's an amazing Volunteer party tomorrow at the Forest (Tues 15th) from 6pm onwards.

Card games. Maybe a prize for something.

Creamy Vegan spagetti, free for volunteers. YUM!!!

Are you getting confused with the tabletops? We agreed at the vollie meeting anyone could make those, and place them around the cafe. This is just the one side of A4 to give to volunteers when they come in for their first shift. Basic info, but also making people aware that there's more to the place...

I think our best bet is to try and get a ludicrous 1 million pound grant to buy and upgrade Bristo Place. We know this building is good for us, and we'd be laughing if we didn't have to pay any rent.
