Xmas do - Friday 10 December, London

Man down!

My 20 year old has caught covid. Confirmed this morning. He's been feeling flu'y for a day or two. Lateral flow positive and went for a test and he's got it. So have two of his mates so we know where it's come from.

Both me and Mrs are clear but with the new rules coming in about members isolating with someone in the household testing positive we are going to have to pass I am afraid. Absolutely gutted. Sorry

Any excuse!

EDIT: now is a good time to seriously consider changing the locks next time he goes out so he finds somewhere else to live

On my way to That London, aka The Big Smoke

I'm a no show i'm afraid. Suspected stroke earlier. (Thankfully wasn't a stroke - hemiplegic migraine - presents itself like a stroke) - still had to go through motions though and am not fighting fit.

oh sad to hear! get well soon.

NLUK - you lightweight! - seriously hope it stays mild symptoms for your son!

Doesn't make much difference in my case

Anonymity will of course be respected, though as ladymuck pointed out, you kind of blew that one already

And I always forget people's real names within about five seconds anyway…

I'm all good people knowing who I am ... I'm much the same in real life as I am on here. Which may be a good or bad thing As LM says, most on here now who I am already

[Whorty]

Doesn't matter either way, whatever you want to be known as. As you're famous off the telly, we all know who you are anyway

Please, just treat me as one of you tonight .... don't go all star struck on me, and no autographs

[NickFitz]

Not been to one of these meets before ... do you use real names or stick to forum names? I answer to both already in the real world so I'm good either way.

I'm glad to see that Whorty and Vetran are coming because sadly me and the Mrs can no longer attend. We've been invited to the Magic Circle for a show and I can do drinks another time.

If it's that magic, they should be able to teleport you back and forth between the two venues

See you next time!

Sorry to hear that. Hope you're OK, and see you next year
