On a completely unrelated subject I have two tickets to do paintball on Saturday up for grabs after people dropped out. The total cost will be about £30 of which I have already paid £14 per head for all 8 people. It would be great if a couple of you were free this Saturday (6th March) to take up these places so I don't have to waste two tickets. If you come back and say yes I will take that as a definite commitment because there are only two days left for me to fill these places so I will not accept any 'I might be interested' replies. If you say that you will come I will expect you to cough up £14 to me even if you drop out at the last minute (but please don't).
Sorry if that sounds a slightly harsh way of putting it, but so far of the original 8 people who said they would definitely come all have dropped out except me and had to be replaced in a hurry!
