Barty picked the 19th already, I was under the impression that only one person could pick any one date... or am I mistaken? :)

You're all way ahead of me.  I had just found the web cam link and come here to start a thread!

The web cam is live and the goat is under construction (as I type).  Tune into the action here:

http://bocken.gavle.se/kamera1/

Yes, only one date per person on a first posted first secured basis.  If you post one that's already gone, you'll have to choose again.......you wouldn't want to have to share the er...prize now would you?

and for anyone who's wondering what the hell is going on:

I reckon that the goat will survive this year. But since Jez has already taken that I'll go for Friday the 13th.

The Goat is still intact.  Most here are still in the running but Viv's an early casualty, having picked the 8th.

Ok, the 28th.  ;)

although the goat has been soaked in anti-flammable liquid this year. Hoping it fails or evaporates some how!

Chase DayFriends of the Gävle Goat


From the goat's blog.... "Unfortunately, I have to make my last post for this year. I´m now writing to you from goat heaven. I´m so sorry that I already have to leave you! I had really thought and hoped that I would celebrate Christmas with all of you and get to go with you into the new year but unfortunately it was someone who did not think so! Last night just after four pm it got really hot. Someone set fire on me, ugh! terrible! Have you heard or seen anything? Please contact the goat committé. They read my e-mail gavlegoat@merjuligavle.se I'm really happy for the time we had together and for the time I got to stand on the Castle Square and spread Christmas spirit! I'm already looking forward to next year when we meet again! I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy new year! I´ll see you all next year!"

If it's really 4pm on the 20th then I win. However they have mixed up their am and pm before, so it might be 4am on 21st and so a win for Pim.

WOOOHOOOO  ;D ;D :D :D :D


The reason why I post this so late is not the fact I had to get back to Holland but I was sleeping, eating shopping and only then I turned my pc on. So I really really wasn't in Sweden.  ::)
