    It was that one who left a while later because she had a baby (she had the baby with her), the blonde scouse one, and the other one. It was nearly ten years ago.

    *checks Wikipedia*

    Mutya, Keisha, and Heidi, it would appear. Mutya was the fecund one.

    I once had a desk very close to the pool table at a radio station. I'd be trying to concentrate on gnarly pieces of XSLT while the Kaiser Chiefs were having a game as they waited to be taken to a studio for an interview.

    That was also the place where I had to ask some girls who were hanging about to shift out of the way so I could get to the coffee machine one lunchtime. Turned out they were the Sugababes.

    Unwise.

    Considering your contribution was military related and a drinking game, looking up that particular reference was pretty dumb indeed.

    The rest of the evening was ....unpleasant...
    Was that before or after the game of freckles ?

    I'm told this is a permanent state of affairs.
    Why didn't you just challenge all of them to a winner gets to decide if they can keep or get rid of the table?
