Forum Party

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Well done Mark. Brilliantly organised. Had thoroughly enjoyable time - lovely to meet lots of you. [cheers for the book Polly]

[SeanMacGabhann]

well said PGC - great to see so many people, old and new... don't think we got to meet tho PGC, did we?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I saw the back of your very distinguished head - lovely it was too.

[Marmora Man]

Enjoyed my brief stay at he party - god to put a face or two to names.

Was beginning to buzz when I left - a great evening.

Thanks Mark

[David Mc]

Seconded - it was a fantastic evening - thank you.

Didn't get to meet everyone. Next time you need a person with a follow-spot so everyone can do a 10-second "My name is David and I post as David Mc and have lived in the area since 1999"-type intro!

[Ladygooner]

Lovely to meet so many new faces - thanks to Mark for organising - hope all your hangovers are small ones this morning!

[Mark]

OK...

Thank you to everyone who made a contribution to the evening, it was very much appreciated and enjoyed

Thank you for the raffle donations from Green & Blue, Southwark News, Foxtons, Wellbeing Well and Health Matters, about ?200 was raised and I'll be making the donation to St Christopher's Hospice next week (and thank you LadyGooner for collecting).

Thank to everyone for coming, it was a great evening and really good to put faces to names. I really enjoyed it and it was great to hear so many people say that they enjoy the forum and find it fun and useful.

Have a lovely weekend

Mark

Ps I seem to have acquired eight brand new books that were left at the end of the night including Tough Love by Kerry Katona, The Battle for Big school by Sarah Tucker and Seve by Seve Ballesteros. Anyone want to claim them?

[Crebortorian]

I've just woken up still a bit pissed after your party.I blame DG for putting glass after glass of sambuca in my hand. I thought if I sipped it slowly it would just have a mild warming effect. It wasn't the case. Anyway... it was a lovely party and great to meet lots of new people. I can't remember anyone's name, except Mark. Mark ? thank you for a great evening and apologies if I ate more than my fair share of cake.It was nice cake.

[Brendan]

Cake? Cake!? I had a lovely evening but I don?t? remember any cake. :( Although I did leave a bit early.

Thanks everyone it was good seeing you all and meeting some more of the faces behind the names.

And thank you for organising it Mark!

[Keef]

UG!

Sorry to the bald fella who wasn't Mark that I demanded a drink ticket from!

[Polly D]

Thanks Mark for a great party and lovely to see y'all again and meet others. The books were just a random selection grabbed from work as I left last night as a birthday present to the forum. Some were taken but sorry some got left behind. Can you take them to the charity shop?! Wish you hadn't mentioned the Kerry Katona (it was an eclectic mix).

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

My head hurts!

[Jeremy]

Nice one Mark, good to meet you and some of the other guys.

[Ant]

It was a great night - thanks Mark! - and as ever a real pleasure to meet lots of new people.

[beatnic]

Big big thanks to Mark for an excellent evening.

Really good to meet people I've known online for a while now.

"Do you post?" must be up there with "Do you come here often?" ;-)

Great party Mark, well done for organising everything.(tu) For my sins I am working today. I am also nursing the mother of all hangovers. Met some lovely people who I hadn't met before and others who I already have.

Ahem! Is just me but there seemed to be an extraordinary amount of lovely looking ladies at the do last night, some of whom I flirted with in the most appallingly salacious manner and some that I unfortunately didn't get around to, luckily for them. I really am turning into a terrible old tart on my old age. Roll on the next drinks.:))

[mockney piers]

I'm being the mother of all cliches by posting on mrs mocker's lappy outside the bishop. If I had any dignity left I'd be appalled at myself.

Anyhooo, second the whole great night stuff, absolutely top effort Mark. So cool to meet many old faces, new faces, old names and new.

Oh and Beatnic, sorry if the missus got a bit intense, she does that sometimes ;-)

Happy days all!

[Keef]

I've just got back from Croydon having been dragged there by my sister and Mrs Keef to buy a suit... Having got home at 5, and had about 3 hours unconsiousness, it wasn't the best trip...

Anyway, thanks again for last night, it was wicked seeing everyone, and meeting a few new people.

[Jah Lush]

Oh! you poor man Keef, you have my sincerest sympathy, having to go shopping with one woman is bad enough but two, and with a hangover. Urg! Wedding suit is it?

[andrewc]

Thanks Mark. hey I stayed past 11pm chatting like a yoof, must be those east dulwich vibes keeping me young.

Well done and keep it going ..please.

[fatfightersforever]

Yes you made some old ladies very happy! (thanks for drink even though bought with free ticket) And thanks Mark it was a really lovely cockle warming evening-especially the vintage champagne! (sans foxton motif) well done X
