    There was a rather strange group behind us this week. They were obviously some bunch of geeks that know each other online and were meeting up in public.

    They were, however, fully in agreement that The Last of The Time Lords should not be part of the Dr. Who canon because it was so appalling, and then moved onto the colour and design of the new daleks....

        If I had to put money on it - I'd have said a couple of them were DBAs. Just judging by the "physique"...

        They were also talking about someone they knew who had written a book which was a cold war occult thriller. And when they opened said book, the page was talking about "goat fu**ers".

        We were the most normal upstairs by a long way

            I'm happy to come up at some point. Interested in meeting Zippy, Faq, Wikir, the Ginger twat(if hes around) and a few others.

            I know it's a weekly thing, but if we designate a 'big' night, then some of us would need to make a special trip.

              When did you all realise that you were sat in front of a full length mirror???

                Brucie's big night? I'm in charge!
                The boozer operates a loyalty scheme so points make prizes too.
                August is good for FaQQer, I think ...

                  Need to get off me arse and organise the summer bash then.

                  I'll bring a set of boxing gloves for MF and Suity.

                  Sorry I couldn't be there last night.

                    I quite fancy that too.

                      Close - August is not very good for me, as I'll only be in London for two of those weeks.

                      But if anyone wants cheap tickets to Disneyland Paris while I'm there, I can get them for 19EUR instead of 67EUR.
