pim, no irony intended. That simply meant that jerito is way too busy to organize another BarBQ for this year so YOU should take the initiative and do it if you want to have one in mid-Oct.

Fee free to use the BarBQ thread to announce and organize it.

The BarBQ will probaly become a yearly thing.

Anyway, back to the topic of this thread.

Adrian my man, now you have us ALL worried. Where in the world are your Muffins man???

It has been over a month since you headed back home for 3 weeks

Drop us a line man!!!

Saludos,
jer...

p.d. Hoping to see you strut in late to Vball on the 14th :jeje:

Where oh where is the muffin man?
Where oh where can he be?
I've looked high and low
Don't know which way he go
Can anyone please to help me?

Okay, the English is funny but part of the pleasure of being a writer is playing iwth the words.

Seriously, anyone have any clues on Adrian's whereabouts?

Candela

I was wondering the same!!! I have emailed him a few times, and I thought... maybe he hates me know and does not want to talk to me. Glad to see my self-esteem is in check . But really, I was going to ask that too. Was he not supposed to be back by now. He still has my lacrosse stick. Hmmm

(in a cheesy Rocky voice) AAAAAAAAAdrian!!!!!!

I was thinking that perhaps he�s secretly returned, because out in Ciudad Lineal there are posters saying TU ERES UN MUFFI and referring to
a website www.muffis.com (it seems that Los Muffis is a Spanish pop group of 7-11 year-olds).

Oops, I�ve contributed to their self-publicity campaign. Stephen

You found him Stephen!!!

Adrian is the one on the far left!!!

OK - Muffino is (nearly) back in the house!!

And before I go any further, can I apologise profusely:

To those of you who have been wondering where the HELL I've disappeared to and why I've not replied to emails, please don't take it personally - I have been in the throes of a MUFFIN CRISIS (having taken my eye off the financial ball a wee bitty too long), amongst other things, which has meant that, rightly or wrongly, I needed to quietly slip away for a while (hence not posting on the board). Rude and strange maybe, but such are the ways of the inscrutable Muffin. Consider it a period of stasis, some kind of metamorphosis, where I miraculously transform myself from a mere Muffin into a... well, actually, I'm still just plain ole El Muffino. I am truly gladdened by your interest in my well-being though, and am not worthy. "Bad Muffin, naughty Muffin, in your bed!!" (You have to be a dog person to understand that).

Anyway, I'm praying that I have found a partial solution to my MUFFIN CRISIS , because I reeeeeeeeeeally want to be in Madrid with all my new homeys (and it would appear my 'good lady wife-to-be', Candy!! Who knew?), but at the moment things are still a bit sticky. My less-than-triumphal return is.... TOMORROW, Friday the 12th!! Yes, yes, I know that's not three weeks, even allowing for Eastern Muffin Time, but I fully intend to be late for my own funeral, so bear with me, OK? I'm not expecting palm leaves, garlands, or to be piped aboard (and seeing as Candy is safely in the States not even confetti...), but I would LOVE to finally catch up with anyone who's around this weekend. Sorry I missed the first VB game of the season, too. It's actually only 42 days since I last touched the hallowed ground of Madrid, but it feels like an age. I now have a beautiful Scottish tan (you may need glasses to reduce the glare from my "Ellie-moine's-a-point"-like complexion). I hope and assume all is well with everyone and that the heat there hasn't been too unbearable?

Right, Miss Candy will no doubt have something to say about my paragraph structuring, but frankly her poetry leaves something to be desired too - although the sentiment was appreciated. When is SHE coming back to Madrid, pray - hmm, hmm?

I apologise again for my impersonation of Lord Lucan (apart from the murdering bit - I mean his, not mine...) and I am really looking forward to seeing you all again A S A P!! I hope all your projects/lives/etc are going well, good luck, Tally Ho! pip pip and all that.

Besos where appropriate and manly hugs ditto.

See you soon!

Adrian

PS No graemlins either I'm afraid, but my bank manager has banned me from graemlinizing for a while....

PPS - I have refrained from referring to those Mu***s for fear that another occurence of the word will drag them excruciatingly higher in the seacrh engine rankings. Besides, I am Muffin to the "N" (like J to the Lo).

Duuuuuuuuude! A post worthy of the Muffino indeed!

You are forgiven

I am off to the airport to see a client at 12:00 noon today (Friday), you could have planned your flight better and gotten picked up you wanker. Basically means I am not willing to make an EXTRA trip at 22:30 to come collect your muffins :jeje:

Anywhooooz, you will be super glad to know that the first V-ball game of the seasone is THIS SUNDAY, SEPT. 14th at 4:30pm!!! You did not miss it and can still be late in your unique way (ie. running all the way with muffins in your hand and no cold drink ).

Saludos,
jer...

YAY!!! HE'S ALIVE!!!!!!!

:jeje:
Welcome back Muffinissimo!

:cheers:
:ks:

No graemlinising?

What's the point of my going on living then?

Alive indeed and (oh frabjous day!) I get to be late for the inaugural game. I will see you all there.

Thanks (I think) for the lift offer Jer, but I was travelling light anyway (just a bag of muffins and a bottle of Nestea). I see you're just as sweet as ever...

By the way Tev, I haven't forgotton about your lacrosse stick. I've been using it as a handy muffin scoop (I can lie in bed and reach my supplies without moving). It may have blueberry stains when I take it back...

Hey Jer - any idea how long that cloaking device will be round the horse in your back yard? I wanted to take some pictures of the plaza, but it doesn't quite look the same...

peeka-chica missed your muffins today Mr. Muffino!

Yes Adrian, very disappointed in your volleyball non-appearance of this afternoon

You were later than ever before!!!

Saludos,
jer...

Sorry about Sunday folks, won't happen again...
:b:
Hey PIM - I finally got round to looking at that mundo vegetariano site you mentioned and it IS a good job - lists 25 veggie nosheries in Madrid. Ay caramba! That's nearly a month-load!
