I think if you said you were going, the good lady would be filling the guns with AUFSB (Are you fucking serious Boom?) caliber.

Lol, she filled the guns when I had the audacity to ask if I could!

Sorry 'boom I just had to stick 2 cents on this comment to push it to the top!

Saying that, you do have a fantastically illustrated point and a strong reason for not being able to attend!

Its the only reason I ain't going! I am gutted that I will miss chatting with lots of steemians in the flesh!

And what a reason! Good luck!

Cheers, is been quite smashing so far :0)

Gosh, I'm astonished you had the nerve to even bring it up! But of course you're a staunch laddie, so I shouldn't be surprised. Or maybe the right word is foolhardy...

Foolhardy and eternally optimistic perhaps!! :0)

If you don't ask, you don't get, so optimism has it's place. But if you do ask, you might get more than you bargain for!

That's part of the grand adventure! I would probably not have gone even if she said yes but glad I didn't have to put my moral strength to the test :0D
