Did I miss anyone off?

(appled)

:O :D wow! 30 folk! Think it's safe to say that The Vetoes will be getting offered another gig at that place then! :D

 

In other news, the CIA have released new photo evidence that Osama Bin Voltane takes hating Western traditions very seriously indeed.

Massive thanks to all (and sexual favours to some ;) ) for coming last night - I hope you weren't too bored at the Tower! Can't believe that EP didn't have a hangover though!! You really are the best and, as for Ally, it's a bit of a shock realising that I've known quite a lot of you for a very long time and you've consistently been top folk.

Aww well it was great to see you and Clare again.

 

Shame Dave didn't make it that would of been even more massive!

I probably should have had a hangover, considering the volume and mixture of drinks consumed [blames Ben].

Loved seeing you and Claire again [and everyone else], loved the gig too, made me realise how much I do miss socialising.

I had a great time, even though I got far drunker than I really wanted to...

Many thanks to all those that attended and made it into one of [if not] the best meats yet.

Commiserations to those that couldn't make it.

Special thanks to Steve Manthorp for throwing an inordinate amount across the bar for general consumption, you are, as ever, a true gent! (hug)

(appled)

FINALLY home. great to see y'all even if just for a couple of hours, apologies for turning up so late - was supposed to be there around 3 but various boring dramas held me up. and so similarly to ally i didn't really get to talk to quite a few people but ... next time!

milko: my team kicks your team's ass.

What a great meat and what fantastic hosts Serg & Elena are. Thanks guys.

 

Also thanks to Milko & The Lovely Tina for rescuing Wattsy when required!

 

See you all again soon I hope!

Apologies for not making it yesterday but I got called up to play rugby at the last minute and I had to head to Wandsworth straight after. Sounds like I missed a good one :(

Oh yes, thanks to Mr Manthorp for Nathalie. and the Underworld recommendation. It was a penny on Amazon so I couldn't say no...

What's Tina's surname?

(So I can correctly credit/label the photos she took.)

So, after a couple of hours setting whitebalance, cropping, removing redeye and getting rid of several large spots of dust, the images are uploaded to Flickr.

Here you go:

looks like a good meat, loads there





who are they all though?

Lee

Haha, I'm a going to be winding up Jane about some of those for months to come :D

 

We really could do with a "Teh Meet" gallery somewhere - there must be a few pics floating around from over the years.

You're most welcome - I'm glad the cheese came in useful, and one can't drink that much and NOT have a proper breakfast (unless you're a hippie). I take it you made the right train then?

 

T'was definitely a pleasure, we'll be waiting for you with a smelly fridge and other tantalising things next time as well.

We didn't meet you (although it was all our fault for being so late). Glad you managed to come down though!

 

Xen's house... summer would be good, we could all camp out in his garden :D

 

Kos: the "tzuica" was supposed to help you sleep soundly.. or at least, anaesthetise most parts of you so that Steve & Rich could, um.. make sure they can get some sleep. Seems to have worked :D

 

Rich: you're very welcome, glad you all had a good time.

Worked for me, I slept like a baby :D

Echoing pretty much everyone else, it was nice to see some faces from the meat I went to four or five years ago, and some new faces...great to finally put a voice to Manthorp, he nearly turned me gay.

Oh, and Voltane beardy stroking was fun and despite me somewhere along the line in forum history saying that his beard resembles my arse, I found stroking it strangely akin to stroking my plums.  :Y

But hey!

Good fun and I won't leave it so long for the next one.

--

I'll go through and label them after some breakfast.


Milko: Thanks.


Dan: Yeah, would be good.
I've got last years Northern meat on Flickr too, after a few others put their photos on there that time. Would be good to collate all the previous meats and tag them.

You woke up at inconvenient times and cried until someone came to calm you down?
