Unaugural 2008: Some bad news, a roll call, and a vote

The bad news:
In spite of my ongoing efforts to learn the valuable skill of weather
control, I haven't been able to make it rain at Funkytown this month.
That means that we won't be able to have a bonfire this year. I'm
sorry, but there's just too much dry grass about..

The roll call:
If you're going to attend, please reply to this thread with an "aye"
and how many people you're bringing (I need a rough count so that I
can make sure I buy enough food).

The vote:
I'm comfortable with either a 2004-style medium-sized campfire or a
2006-style shed party. If you're a confirmed attendee, please cast
your vote so that I can make appropriate preparations over the next 2
weeks.

The only situation I can see it being possible to have a bonfire is if
it's raining on the day, and I suspect that's pretty damned unlikely.

I'm somewhere more likely than "Postman Pat said he'll be there" and
somewhat less likely than a definite aye.

Maybe if I'm lucky

Aye

Me, and probably the girlfiend, and possibly two of your neighbours as
well...

The Volvo doesn't want to get out of bed. Says it's getting chilly.

So I won't be there.

Neigh?

In a small attempt to make up for the missing bonfire, I propose a
damper-cooking competition (with a trophy).

I'll supply the flour, but you'll have to bring your own additives.

It's bloody pouring here in Perth today. We're well on track for one of out
wettest Aprils on record. We passed the fifth wettest yesterday.

Bloody global warming!
