Although I've just gotten back, and the room's swaying around me (from exhaustion I think - unlikely as it may seem I didn't touch a drop of alcohol), I wanted to pop by and say thankyou to the Editorial team and the Post and everyone who came to make it such a great meetup. Well worth the hassle of getting to London with the trains in such a mess.
Cheers!
(Abi note my first use of the online2long smiley)
I think I shall go to bed now...
Thanks guys! That was great!

That was a huge glass of coke you had though.
Thanks guys! That was great!

Hear hear! Excellent effort! Well done the italics, and nice to have finally met you lot!
Who's up for some more next week?
And to whom or what, precisely, are you bonded, Mina?
Thanks guys! That was great!
MaW Posted Nov 26, 2000
That wasn't a particularly huge glass of coke, Mina. It was only a pint. I could have probably managed another one, had I not had to go and catch my train
Did I miss much after I left?
Thanks guys! That was great!

No piss-up is complete unless someone loses something - and tonight it was my turn
Did anyone accidentally walk off with a black bag (with a blacks logo) it had underwear, mobile phone, lecture notes, and a few other things... nothing terribly valuable to anyone else, but valuable to me, of course...
Help!
Thanks guys! That was great!

A great Day / Night, I hope everyone got home OK
I nearly added to my record for falling asleep on trains and missing my station, the only thing that saved me was a very load group piling onto the train where I wanted to get off
Thanks guys! That was great!

Yeah, thanks guys!
We had a great time... followed by a rather interesting time... as we (Lucinda, The Fish, Bluebottle and I) missed the last tube train home and wandered around London until about three in the morning...
Anyway... it was a good laugh!
(er... I see there's some interesting additions to people's names... NexusSeven????? Mina??????!!!)
Oh yes and we have some great photos!! (snigger) The running bribe rate to *not* put them online is £10 per photo...
Thanks guys! That was great!

*does the mental maths*
DD: Hon we may have to sell the car to cover all the bribes we'll need to pay.
FC: Don't worry I don't think anyone got the really interesting stuff.
DD: Mind you with Peregrin wandering around London who knows what he may have seen.
Thanks guys! That was great!

*checks pockets*
I'm glad he wasn't on my bus last Friday... would have really spoilt the mood.
Thanks guys! That was great!
MaW Posted Nov 26, 2000
I was _intending_ to catch the last train... I fell asleep for a short time, but not for as long as I wanted to due to the loud French girls and the loud British blokes with beer. Great.
Sounds like you all had fun anyway...
Joe, from what you said to Abi, nothing actually happened on the bus, so Peregrin wouldn't have been a problem, surely.
Thanks guys! That was great!
Peregrin Posted Nov 26, 2000
Ah well, I'm sure that between us all we've got plenty of suitable pictures for the Post's birthday issue
Key: Complain about this post
