Gah! Beat me to it! You and your fleet-of-foot hands.

Assuming it's not sitting in a pub alone, Peter will probably decide to go.

I'm unsure if I'll join him though.

With only yourself as company I'm sure you'll have a cracking time. :)

They could have a lively debate on pizza toppings.

It's /almost/ enough to tempt me...

I'll be there from 2pm as usual. Not sure about the twins.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall in that conversation.

I wonder who was mad enough to keep the mold that Peter emanated from and promulgated that madness by putting forth a duplicate?

It's 'mould'. :|

Sweaty knickers, I knew I'd get that wrong.

Mold is more Americanised, but the 'U' in our version seems to hark back to some old French influence. So I can't win.

However:
 
Both spellings have been used since the 16th century. In Canada, both spellings are used. In New Zealand, "mold" refers to a form for casting a shape while "mould" refers to the fungus

American is more wrong than French. That's the way it is.

And English has to be more right than French. (nod)

As long as we have teh betterers over the Americans, that's ok.

I don't know how one person can be so wrong all the time!

Where's Peter at? 

There's still a remote chance things change for me and I can pop by in the afternoon. But I would be surprised.

Get us a table with candles. :)

I'll aim to arrive for 14:00, unless everyone drops out in which case I'll probably just go somewhere to take photos for a few hours instead.

p.s. I'll confirm I'm coming by around midday tomorrow.

If I don't post by then I've either overslept or have a crappy headache or something - hopefully wont happen, but just in case...

On my way into London. Got some Christmas shopping to do anyway.

Hopefully see you at 2!

Yep, got a bit of a headache but it'll go soon.

See you in a couple of hours.
