      Yeah always a disappointment

        Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

            That's no joke - Last time I turned up at the Ship & Shovell and only then remembered the meet up was at the Counting House!

              CUK is like another world I dip into every now and again, populated by wierd and wonderful beings with every opinion and every skill under the sun (and other suns in some cases )

              I'd be gutted to find out you are all the results of AtW's Sockie Kreation Automator.

                Yes, I remember getting the phone call asking where we were at the S&S

                but you did turn up eventually at the CH. Though not at the xmas do.

                  I went to a cuk meet up - enormous fun. But I know a couple of people quite well anyway (CM & Churchy).

                  I dont go to many meet ups due to child commitments.

                  I suspect some are put off by the comments in the general bear pit and assume that everyone is nasty and unpleasant. But in fact they were all lovely people and a great laugh - I particularly fondly remember Cojak and RH.

                  Lovely person+internet+anonymity=cretin.

                      Shame no one else turned up

                      It is nice to put a face to a username, shame the London drinks only had a few turn up every time.

                      Looks like Scrag's taken on the responsibility of setting up the drinks from now on
