[gwEm]

EDIT: Can recognize gwEm too!

Its the big devils horns isn't it?  :twisted:

gwEm, you didn't go to the screening of Anvil! The Story of Anvil at the London Film Festival, did you?  If not, I'm sure I was sitting next to your doppelganger.

i don't think it was me, i went to check out some film festival stuff, but not that one

[FELINEGUITARS]

Jonathon, post the picture with the fingers!!!  :lol:

Such rudeness
Although I was either too pissed on a pint of shandy, or seriously need more practice at being vulgar

[Johnny Mac]

^ Nice one!  :lol: :lol:

Hope you get well soon Elliot, sounds nasty.

Yes, and the goat's legs  :lol:

Sorry I couldn't make it in - I was diagnosed with an infected lung on Friday afternoon, so I am kinda reduced to bed rest and antibiotics to prevent pneumonia.  See you all next time.

Hope you're getting better Elliot, two weeks ago I had a infection on my leg, because of some small cuts I've on my feet... Man, the last time I had a fever that made me walk like a baby I was a child! :?

[AndyR]

I had a great time - it was good to meet the real people behind the posts...

We did reach just about the limit of my drinking abilities - if I'd had another I'd have been in the same state as some of the sorry folks I encountered on the tube on the way home :lol:

Funnily enough I found the missus in a worse state than me when I got home - she'd decided to watch Mama Mia while I was out (I'd been making grumbling noises about its appearance near the dvd player so she assumes that I don't want to sit through it...), and she thought she'd have a nice vodka martini to go with it. It's not entirely clear what happened, but contributing factors have been identified as follows: a) she needs to learn that vodka martinis like we make them probably need to be consumed with some sort of food (the olives are not enough to soak up the alcohol), and possibly b) if there's only one of us present, one needs to make slightly less (eg half) as much as we usually do...

I'd definitely be up for another meet in London - I'd even brave the Intrepid Fox again, with its overpowering loudness of music and its distinctive fragrance in the water closets... :lol:

Sorry to hear about the lung infection Elliot - hope it clears up in time for Christmas.

[WezV]

well i am back up north (or above watford gap!!), i had a few moments of roughness earlier but i have been strangely hangover free today... must be the fresh london air

anyway, had a great time and want to thank gwem for putting me up and being my guide.. definately have to do this again at some point!... and no excuses from philly Q if we do

shame we didnt get noodle and elliot

[Jonny]

I'm thinking that's AndyR, Johnny Mac, Johnny's brother and gwEm.

But who's hidden at the back?

(And who's taking the picture?)

...and where are YOU?

Hmmmmm....

[excuses mode]Chickened out.... I'm quite introverted and severely lacking in social skills at the best of times, but I'm particularly bad when meeting people for the first time.  Even though I "sort-of know" you guys, and I have met Jon before.

And I'm not very good with noisy crowded places - like pubs for example.  I get a bit claustrophobic and I've never acquired that strange skill of "shouting and nodding to make conversation", so I just end up going very quiet, which makes me seem weird(er). 

Plus (not casting aspersions here!) I was worried it might turn into a really heavy drinking session, and I'm not really a drinker....

....which is why I was still feeling rough from having a few drinks at the staff lunch on Friday.  :oops: [/excuses mode]


Sorry guys, hope it was a good evening.  :)

I feel quite the same Philly. Only Jonathan's seen my face. And hopefully doesn't remember it :D
But yes, I hope to be there next time.

Gwem, you look like that guy from The Fly movie, Jeff Goldblum

[Oli]

Yea, was cool to put some faces to the names, was a good evening :) We'll have to bring some guitars along next time!

[Afghan Dave]

Sorry I couldn't make it guys....

I was simply too shy to attend....NOT!

Unusually I was in Salisbury for a Xmas ball....

Glad you guys finally did it and I will be there next time. PDT_015

[Gary]

I was working in an office less than a mile away while you lot were enjoying yourselves. Unfortunately calling in sick was out of the question but I'll try to make it next time (hopefully there will be a next time).

[Ian Price]

I reckon some dates for 2009 should be suggested now -definitely up for meeting some of you lot.

[Twinfan]

Next one somewhere further North please!

[gwEm]

Next one somewhere further North please!

maybe you should organise it? ;)
