[SoE] Meet 2008 Report by [SoE]_Detonator

I got to Birmingham Airport at 12.30 to pick up Trak, Iffy, Wolfie and Winters. Set off for the cabin and arrived at 2.00pm to find Falcon and Homer already there. Apparently Falcon was so excited about the meet he picked Homer up in the middle of the night and arrived at the cabin at 11.30. So the 7 of us sat around awaiting the arrival of Kinky, Frank, Softalan and Sauron. They arrived shortly after Saucyjack and his son who popped into see us to say he can’t stay Saturday night because of his bad back, but Jason said he would come as he has zero will power. Also Chip rang from the station to say the sat nav in his stolen Clio could only get him so I went to fetch him.

Then it was off to Tesco’s for beer, food and a barbecue, Saucy drove his pretend 4x4 so fast he managed to loose me at a roundabout. 2 hours later we made it back to the cabin where Trak and I assembled the barbecue.

Falcon was in charge of the barbecue with ignored comments about the charcoal colour from Homer. Despite creating an interesting colour clash of black sausages with Pink insides, the burgers and chicken were fantastic.

After an evening of drink and chat, Saturday was the day that fucked us. We played football for nearly 2 hours, then softball, then football again then soft ball in the rain. Also Homer had bad guts but still did a fantastic breakfast for us

I have to say that before he pulled up injured Falcon was fantastic, nobody dared to tackle him in case his hip went and pulled out of tackles for the same reason and we were soon in the lead. As soon as Falcon went to the stands the gloves came off and we started to loose. Half time saw us loosing and finding muscles we didn’t know we had. After a short break the same teams lined up for Soft Ball where we discovered a few things. Team England can’t throw, catch or hit the ball. Other than that it went swimmingly. Oh and the ball hurts. Needless to say we lost the softball when it took ages to get the rest of the world out in the second innings. All this was too much for Kinky who took to bed holding his groin. It looked as if the Rest of the World would be a man down but Homer changed sides and then Xtreme turned up to make the numbers up on team GB. We kicked off and despite a valiant attempt by the rest of the world the fitness of Frank paid off and he scored the goals needed to achieve victory.

Homer put the baked potatoes in to cook and we played Softball again. We picked different sides. Xtreme pointed out he couldn’t really run but as he could hit the ball a long way it didn’t really matter and he walked round. Softalan learned that putting your hand out to try and stop the ball really hurts, Chip ran all over the field to get the ball as he could still move. In the end my team of Iffy, Softalan, Sauron and Chip surrendered and we went in for tea.

As predicted by Softalan, Saucy turned up for the night clutching two guitars just in time for Chilli. Kinky staggered out of bed still clutching his groin. And we ate Chilli, Rice, baked potatoes and salad with cakes for pudding.

After the washing up I deputised for Cav and said a few words and awarded the SoE Trophy to LordIffyBoatrace for setting up the custom map server and keeping all the other servers running. I felt that the custom map server has kept interest in Cod4 and the clan gaming going and takes up a lot of his time.

Special thanks to Homer J Simpson.

Jason did all the cooking again despite not feeling well, top food again from a top Bloke; Wolfie hadn’t tasted home cooking since last year.

Special thanks to Frank Spencer

Pete did the organising for the meet, sorted the money, the shopping and accommodation, it all went off without a hitch.

Mention in Dispatches for Winters, Chip and Xtreme

Luka had to take two flights to get here and it was great to see him again, Chip had to steel a car for his first meet and Xtreme also made his first meet, great to put faces to voices.

The night’s entertainment was provided by Saucy, Iffy and Paul who played guitar, Saucy is just fantastic, for A gay. Kinky and Jason wrote a song called Hotel SoE to the tune of Hotel California. And Frank read aloud The Haunted Jungle from a Commando war stories book I brought, about a platoon of jocks with a gay sergeant being hunted in the Jungle by some Ginga’s. Followed by the SoE blues and then anyone’s experiences with shit.

Sunday we tided up and said goodbye for ever to the log cabin which is due to be knocked down as the site is modernised.

Another great meet.
