BBQ on the Isar

Or you can bring a TV,Satt system and and generator, and watch the footie on the Isar as you drink beer...

Forecast for Saturday still looks bad

Why does it have to be sunny during the week and rain whole weekend long?

Have faith. That forecast has changed a couple of times in the last few days.

my plans have changed so it looks like i'll be able to make it afterall!! woo hoo. i thought i heard the forecast was supposed to be nice on Saturday...

Possible hailstorms in the afternoon so that will mean it will be hot sunshine all day no doubt! Fingers crossed

I will admit that it doesn't look the Mae West, but forecasts can change. Keep the faith.

depends on how much you trust weather sites...

would seem to be promising a reasonable day!

I would like to come too... but I also want to go see the FA Cup Final
[esp as depressed Palace failed in the Playoffs...]

Come at noon, stay for a few hours and then head off to watch the football. That's what some are doing.

Yes, I prefer your weather site. 0mm of rain would do just nicely.

Saturday

05/13/2006

Sunrise: 5:38 am UV Index: 6, High Sunset: 8:43 pm

Moonrise: 9:33 pm Phase: Waning Gibbous Moonset: 5:14 am

Mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the low 70s and lows in the low 50s.

21°c High and 11°c Low

Should be fine weather me thinks.

We have 27 signed up so far. Remember, the more the merrier and everybody is welcome, even if you only joined the site today.

We will definitely need extra grills so whoever has one, please bring it along. I only have one and that won't be enough. Please post if you can bring one. If you have a transportation issue then let me know as I will be driving down there on Saturday.

Now, think sunshine.

Just been down and checked out the location. It's directly at the back of the Thalkirchen Camping (Zentralländstr. 49).

If you're coming by car, head for the zoo and turn right onto Zentralländstr just before the zoo. The car park by the site is 1km down the road on your left.

If you're coming by public transport, bus route 135 (which you can get from Thalkirchen U-banana station [U3]) stops directly outside it or just walk the 1km down to the site.

And we could still use an extra grill. If it all goes ahead as planned and we have about 30 people then mine won't be enough. Even if someone can bring some of those disposable BBQs that you can buy at most Tankstelle.

PM me for my phone number if you need a contact.



Map from hot-maps.de

As I mentioned before, it should be fairly obvious by looking out the window tomorrow but I'll post anyway once a decision is made to whether to go ahead or not. I'm still optimistic.

i dunno...forcast calls for thunderstorms in the afternoon. might be a little soggy...

boo bern, booo. so backup plan is ... indoor biergarden and then your house for the guns? actually i have really crap hand to eye coordination can i just have a grenade? i think its more my style really.

If the weather sucks then I am suggesting Bavaria Bräu for an afternoon tipple.

And you can bring your full arsenal for us to play with ...or just a subset of it.

Just remember jml. Keep the pin, throw the grenade away

I'll come if nice weather, and I'll bring my pois. I have a spare set if anyone can use poi.

Cool. We can attach grenades to the end of them for an extra thrill.

I read that as:




Anyway no one else has volunteered to bring a BBQ so I'll try to buy one tonight from someone. 'Einweg Grill' or summat?

What is the name of the bus stop on like 135 from UBahn Thalkirchen, do you know?If I have lots of time, I may bake some of my famous choc chip cookies (yet to infiltrate the TT crowd).

i guess it would be too cliche if I made the obvious joke about not letting strangers play with your balls? Yeah I thought so too...

ps: great now I have goodness gracious great balls of fire in my brain. thanks, thanks alot.

Hehe me too now, thanks a lot

yeah!! bern will get her full gear of Guns and Grenades, thats one combination of GG more fiery than the GG i know (all we need is some ba*********** or is that too Un-PC for TT)

flaming Poi, choc chip, JML throwing grenades at sundry strangers or to fish? ken with a crate of beer...turning out to be fun fun

PS - i will do the native, indian rain dance, but through the ages we have forgotten which one is to call the rain and which to drive it away...will have to call the villagefolk to clarify.

i'll bring the guns if you bring the ammo. and i'm not picking up brass either! i hate that part.

Just do both. You will see which one is which eventually

*note to self-bring back ammo from east europe*

i'll have to check my arsenal, too. might only have a supersoaker left. that can be deadly, though, if it's cold outside...

It's "Thalkirchen Camping" or somesuch. It's exactly 1km from the u-bahn and you'll see all the caravan site.

Doubt I'm the only man here who'd fucking love to see you pickup up a bit of brass.

Indeed I may. We are bringing our own food, right?

leichter Regen
morning: 13 °C
bedeckt

afternoon: 18 °C
Regen- schauer

evening: 16 °C

Min / Max: 12 / 19 °C

buy me dinner first.

i remember the days when it used to be coffee only, damn inflation!

You should ask him to cook you dinner!

Yes. I will be bringing one BBQ and there should be at least one more. If anyone else can offer, or as I mentioned, pick up a few of those little disposable jobs then that'd be great. Bring along whatever you want to cook, eat and drink.

As for the weather, I'm now moving with blind optimism against overwhelming odds.

31 people down for grillin' now.

Final Go/No go from mission control will come tomorrow morning.

oh-no, the monkeys are in charge again !!

Sorry if this post seems to be a bit negative, but thought I should share the following info with you.

The area where you are planning to BBQ, is not actually a designated BBQ area. Whilst there are normally people BBQ'ing there, there are sometimes "rangers" that come along, and fine people for having BBQ's.

I have seen this first hand a number of times, as I have been using that area over the past 3 years for some summer relaxing.

It is quiet often the case however, that the rangers will turn a blind eye, if the BBQ is raised off the ground... Ie it isn't burning a bloody great hole in the grass.

What time in the morning will you post roughly? I would probably have to leave at around 11am to get there for 12pm...
edit: you can post gently too.

I'll post before 10.

I've already had one threat of physical violence if the weather gods piss on it so I will now admit that blind optimism is moving steadily towards nervous expection.

The weather will be nice. Stop using the useless weathermen and use the weather stone. Mine says, warm and sunny for tomorrow.

I used a Magic 8 ball at lunchtime and it said "Absolutely".

Of course the question I asked it was whether I should have ham & cheese on my sandwich or just ham.

I pmed you the answer.

I see your pm and raise you an sms.

The fax is in the mail.

a pox on you kay, outwitted again!

Open your window, I sent one a note by Owl.

shouldn't that be smoke signal?

Not unless you want a smoked Hedwig

btw re the bus stop -- it's Floßlände. When you use http://www.mvv-muenchen.de/en/index.html you can always type in a street address (in this case, Zentralländstr. 49 as Keydeck posted earlier) so you don't even need to know the nearest bus stop in advance, it tells you.

edit - nevermind

Does that make it pms?
