I need to have a word with the organiser.

henning we know that the fun and socialising side of our various meet ups has never been of interest to you...we are now use to the way you hide away in your hotel room during the day refusing to participate in the actitives organised for our enjoyment...most of the regular participants by now have worked out that the only reason you turn up at all is for the captive audience you can take advantage of each evening with your particular bizarre and challenging musical renditions..so what exactly do wish to discuss with our lovely organiser?...not extending your musical contribution i hope...ta ken

i do indeed like the mountains henning but that's not my reason for posting what i need to know is are planning to sing in viladrau...

..i don't know what the attendance figures were like for your set at the dublin event open mic session because knowing what was coming i went to the theatre that afternoon instead..but i would have thought the number of people (see below) that turned up to hear you sing in hydra in 2013 would have at least made you reconsider your position about singing in viladrau...

...now if beauty and the beast reformed that would be very nice but if you are planning on a solo set i would like to ask our organiser whether there any theatres in viladrau .....ta ken

I've always looked forward to your presence and your lovely badges at our gatherings, Maarten. Your generousity with them has been remarkable. I still have and treasure every one 8) . Have been missing you... Dublin and now Hydra. Please find your way back to the Cohen trail.

Thanks for your confidence. Half the population of Ireland are now honing their mountaineering skills on Slieve Gullion. I'm somewhat pleased that the older people in your video completed the course in under 4 minutes.. nevertheless I am concerned by use of the term "vicious" on the video. Is this perhaps a Catalan term for "relaxed" or "easy" or maybe "fuelled by local brew" ??

bea

there is a frightening about of lycra being worn on these videos...

perhaps people need reminding that when we started these walking weekends in wales back in 2009 we all agreed beforehand that the wearing of lycra was to be discouraged and so far this agreement has been kept by all participants in our walks ever since..

also i see these videos were shot this month and yet i see no escalators...

i was fiddling around online last night and came across a site which had the train timetable for anybody travelling from barcelona el prat airport to vic....as with most of the timetables they will only give you times for the following 7 or 14 days but this was the timetable for next thursday...unlike some of the timetable websites this is very easy to use and it's in english...so you can double check nearer your date of travel....as beatriz has already told us no direct train to vic from the airport ..so it's a change at sants station from line 2 to line 3......ta ken
