    Xen! Was a damn shame you weren't there. Seriously.

    Indeed it was! And fair play to a man who's lurked for only a few days, and posted only 10 times, for coming down to Lahndahn, to meet these miscreants. Honestly Alantan, nice one.

    We've had a bit-of-a-blast tonight. I've seen NickFitz whilst sober - that was fun - Been utterly shocked by snaw (a very decent lad - I understood at least 30% of what he was saying ), EO - another thoroughly bloody nice chap - and Churchy... Seriously, what a great crowd, you can't really make this tulip up... And... CM , OS, WP , OHoot, bumfluff, gonzo, Marina(!) , BGG +1, speaking of which -

    You 'meet' all sorts of ppl on t'internet, and you may (or may not) have something in common with one or two of these nutters if and when you meet IRL - but it's rare that you have so much in common with someone within about 30 seconds of meeting. I'm really glad I met you two tonight.

    We had a fair few drinks to absent friends, YKWYA...

    For the record - the first bottle of Sambuca disappeared in less than 6min, the second (smuggled bottle) in about 8min after incurring the wrath of the bar staff. If there had been more than 10 (willing participants) we'd have been in Lahndahn town still, serenading each other to a private karaoke shindiggimmybob. As it is, I'm grateful to be home in one piece.

    Rest assured, pics will be in the FB group tomorrow.

    Thank you one and all.

          Well I just got up and feel surprisingly good considering my condition last evening. Superb evening chaps, thanks one and all.

            Yep, thanks RH

            It was good to catch up with some of you again, and meet some new faces.

              I'm still drunk. Now at work. But the hangover was worth it.

              Good evening, nice putting some avatars to faces. Though I thought Churchill would be bigger ;-)

                A right larf indeed.

                Going for breakfast now to see if that will help. And maybe a pint.

                    Thanks RH for organising last night - it was great to see everyone...

                    I understod Snaw much better than OS (who made me laugh, a lot!!). Although EO's accent did get more broad the more drunk I got

                    Not happy that EO recognised the CUK people from my norks and shoes.... thats exactly how he introduced himself to the group

                    BGG, top fella & your Mrs too (top girlie!) helping me walk in those bonkers shoes.... can't remember exactly how many times I fell over but it was more than once

                    Bumfluff, you are a cutie.... you will be of the market in no time

                    Hope I've not forgot anyone.... oh, new boy... fair ****s to you for coming along... very brave

                    Well I'm now back, in not so sunny Manchester and I need a rest! Can't wait for the Christmas do

                      It was boy heaven - Josh Lewsey has the most amazing ass, Joe Worsley.... super hot even with a bit of cauliflour ear going on.... I spent the first hour or two drooling.....
