ouch - thanks for that Ant. Have poked you back. I may also challenge you to the red bull game

GG - well you'll know what I look like from FB! Hope you can make it. Nero - boys too (at least Mikese22 is coming and he is definitely a boy) :)

:( I feel I should start a 'who's going to reading festival' thread - but I really don't have the energy and I suspect only Keef and I will be on it (unless you lot start taunting me for my glasto ticket-deficincy problem).

Haven't heard that one before. :-S I assume the boyz didn't get their act together to go last night in my and GG's absence so no - I don't think there was a meet-up last night. The Rye, Monday 11th, 7pm - are you going to drop by? How will we recognise you?

You can change your privacy level so someone who pokes you can't see your profile... The poking seems to be.. well.. an indication that you like someone :-$ or a prompt to take action :) (like reply to a message). It's a fad but an entertaining fad...

ha ha I'm under "Badger" and I have a camera covering my face :)

And don't forget the two great teenage games "bomb" and "trolley trolley": Bomb entails throwing gas canisters on fires Trolley Trolley entails obtaining by dubious means two shopping trolleys, cramming them full of people then playing a form of 'chicken' on a runway with them - only the aim of the game is to dislodge more people from the other person's trolley than are dislodged from your own. Awesome. I don't remember being that bad when I was south of 20. We just sat around campfires playing guitars singing "American Pie" very badly and err smoking.

OH GOD it's nearly midnight, people keep poking me and my ex wants to be my 'friend' OMG. Facebook really has ruined my life. where the heck are you guys on FB then?

Completely agree with benjaminty - Arbutus and Moro my two favourite restaurants in London. beauty of Moro is that it's opposite a small tablefootball bar.

Sounds like he won't need me to buy him a drink :)) I like 5 bands on the line up so have hopes of remaining vaguely compis mentis for them :) Besides which, watching 15 year old kids set light to their own tents on day 1 is always entertaining.

Me too. hurrah - I actually have a bottle of this in my kitchen. Am confounded as to how it remains undrunk, but there you go! Thanks for the last tasting notes and thanks in anticipation for these.

This may be true. A bad workman always blames his tools. Am going to Reading though :) which is probably for the best as am a rock chick at heart

Giddy Gecko - according to Facebook you don't exist!

Giddy Gecko - according to Fabebook you don't exist!

a thread on Glasto? (sob) - didn't get any sodding tickets because I have the most rubbish broadband (6)

Welcome back Nikster!!! Glad to hear the hols were good. Okay - I can do (M) 11th or (F) 15th next week. My vote is for Monday evening (11th) at 7pm at The Rye. Any good? I'm on facebook 2. Giddy I'll send you an invite - this way hopefully we'll recognise each other rather than wander around the pub aimlessly... :)

Dagnammit - too late :X

be warned - am completely addicted to FB. Maybe I should start a group "Facebook ruined my life"

Thomas, In all seriousness, I would totally use this provided: i. I could pay by card over the phone and not have to worry about cash ii. there would be some way I could call up and say "I fancy something with fish" and be told what was on offer (i.e. not have to read off a menu which I am unlikely to have in a cab/bus on the way home) iii. you'd deliver until 11pm Price also important... Do you really have a 'friend' or is this actually you? Badger

Me too - will try and get to open it tonight if I ever get home from work :-S

Okay - so GG can't make it on Weds and haven't heard from the Nikster for a while... I'm going to be stuck at work (sigh). Are all the boys still keen? I think Mikese22 is... If so, I suggest you all meet at the Rye tomorrow evening and report back. ;-)

Venezuela perfecting the mojito

that is a great idea DM - I would be up for that... but in the mean time, is anyone doing the HUGE G&B tasting on 18th June?

Tee hee. If I were any good at maths I would work out what you average a day. This is a great site Mark. (tu):))

Who has the most number of posts at the moment? (sorry - stuck at work writing a report so what better to do than start threads on EDF)...
