Very funny

Nice to hear from you Roman xx

We miss you!

Lynne

Righto!

Will discuss at BTS tonight with view to putting on Action WG agenda.

Lynne

Okay....I've got that date Dan! Ken and I are working on the hall.....we have a couple of people who may want the piano ....if we give it to them, we can use it as payment in kind for building work.... What do you's think? I'm not fussed about having the piano, and we do REALLY need to fix the numer...

Lynne

Can we talk about the freeshop?

I have shop merchandise on my BTS list, so maybe the freeshop can be talked about here also?

Please see 'freeshop' post - we need to decide how it is to be run...

Lynne

What working group does the free shop come under?

We're having the BTS meeting tonight.....is this where we should talk about the freeshop?

Shop merchandise is on my BTS list!

???

Lynne

So...we need to think about: a) Do we still want the freeshop? and b) Do we have the space to actually have a shop again? If the answer to both of these questions is NO, then I think we need to think about whether we can still run a free shop, 'cause it's not working in it's present state! I agree w...

Hi I work for a show for STV called The Hour as a researcher, and I am working on a piece about freeganism and the belief that as a society we create too much waste. I would love to speak to some freegans, but having trouble finding anyone and I wondered if you knew if any of your workers or custome...

Lynne

Sorry for high jacking your thread!

I really don't give my student loan a second thought....

Lynne

I should be sitting at about £20,000 odd now!

I repeated 1st year, so did 5 years in total at £4,000 per year plus interest from the start - yeh!

Lynne

Can we put recycling on the agenda?

Lynne

Yup, I'll be there.

Lynne

I just want to say that I think everyone's ideas and energy for improving the Forest are fab! I'm sorry if I disrupted that energy with my post about the licence stuff... Just to let you all know, there is a large possibility that we are going to have to rebuild the toilets in two or three months ti...

Hey Ghandi I will look into how much the steel sheeting(!) costs. Ken Smillie said there are other materials such as 'shower wall' that we could also use, but that it would still be possible to vandalise these. So maybe the steel sheeting is the best idea? Ken Smillie and myself are meeting with our...

Lynne

Really? Do you mean it?

If you's do, then it shouldn't be hard to source.

I always chat to the guy in the Phoneix bar about this kind of shit (no life Lynne!), so he should be able to point me in the right direction...

If you's want me to look into it?

xx

Lynne

Wooooh guys!!! The toilet issue is causing much consternation I feel! Just to add to what Nix has already said: QUOTE "yes, tiles would be nice. the concrete floor is a problem. it is always wet. Sticking the tiles could be tricky .. and as you can see, the floor paint peels off quickly. but I think...

Lynne

Oh, sorry Susana, I didn't realise you meant our wee bit of garden!!!

If Blue thinks it's fine to put them in there, then go for it!

But it is a rather small area, and we do have lots of stuff to move into there (plastic pots etc., that are in the communal garden area)....

Lynne

Sorry, Emma has already put a post up about the complaint called 'Garden - our neighbours are miffed

' in the 'building' section of the bb.

Lynne

Now I'm being stupid...has this already taken place, 'cause this Sunday is 10th May...

???

Lynne

Hey Tove

It's me you need to speak to about booking the hall. It's fine for the free shop to have it this Sunday during the day.

Please let me know what times you need.

Thank you!

Lynne

Emma had to deal with a (reasonable) complaint from one of our neighbours on Saturday just gone. Basically, people were out in the garden on Friday night (I don't know who), and someone had fallen through one of the benches causing it to break. This must have caused a bit of hillarity, and resulted ...

I'm not sure if he means the Cameo in Edinburgh, or London?!

I've got my man Colin, the electrician, onto the sockets in the Cave.

So, no need to involve Kim!

Lynne

Good work Pockets! I've got a couple of things to say from a health & safety (*groan*) point of view: - Eeeeck!!! I didn't realise the sockets down there were so bad! Is Kim qualified to fix them? I thought he was a joiner? We really should get a proper electrician to look at them. I will try and ge...

A United States of America passport was found in the Cafe yesterday, Wednesday 1st April 2009. It's in the name of Sean Culleton, he's 22, from Pennsylvania. I have phoned the American Consulate and left a message containing Sean's details and the Forest's contact details. If anyone knows Sean, can ...

Lynne

Thanks Milky!

I've spoken to Matias about this as he is on shift this Saturday...

Lynne

The darkroom will hopefully re-open at some point next week...

We will keep you updated!

Lynne

Agenda point:

Once we get the liquor licence, we will set up training so that everyone knows what to do when they're selling alcohol.

Lynne, Emma & Alex will do this nearer the time - and we promise it will be fun!

Lynne

Mike, I'd be happy to run the bar with you.

Lynne

I will remind the KM's the day before the event.

I just posted this up to remind myself really!
