Hhmmm, I'd almost worked up the courage this month (after only six months or so of very occasional posting), but I'm working nights this week. Sorry, maybe next month.

[Azul]

I might show up around 11.45

[citizenED]

Is that a.m. Azul?

[Horsebox]

hmmm, might come to this but only if ive managed to get over the shock of the foxtons incident and stopped taking the xanax.

Is that one of those Palindrome pills.....The ones that don't do anything, but make you think they are doing somthing?

I might come along tonight now, but only stay for a couple as I have a 6am start.....I should be easy to spot....all will become apparent.

[SeanMacGabhann]

intriguing indeed LTP...

[mockney piers]

Will you be fully laden with camera bobbins that will make me green with envy?

[Brendan]

Can I go now? My tolerance for contrived corporate bllsht is close to breaking point. I may not make it tonight as I will have been dragged off to the loony bin for inflicting grievous bodily with a laptop and a pack of postit notes.

[LostThePlot]

On a general note, what's the form for introducing one's self at these gatherings. Is there a rose to be carried, a handshake to be adopted? What's the form.....

[Ant]

Roll right trouser leg up if a chap.

Dangle handbag upside down from left elbow if a lady.

Upon meeting suspected fellow forumer, promptly spin thrice widdershins while reciting: snorky snorky belly and bum!

Or, yunno, just say something along the lines of: hello, you from the forum? We're a pretty easy bunch to spot, by and large, just cos we're usually the biggest group in the place.

(I say 'we', but I won't be there myself tonight. Hmph.)

Myself and my husband will be going this evening so if you remember me from fixing the idiots PC, I'll help you out

[LostThePlot]

Widdershins....excellent word!

OK, will maybe see some folks there then!

Mockney, no I won't be it'll all be nicely packed for tomorrow's exploits, but do come and have a chat to me about cameras porn.....

[Brendan]

It is the other way from Turnwise.

[PeckhamRose]

Sorry - can't make tonight after all. Haved a good one and I'l try and make the next one.

I vote for the Clockhouse.

[Michael Palaeologus]

"Do you post?"

"Only to the East"

Easy - easy way of feeling a complete 'nana infront of a baffled stranger

[giddygecko]

Errrmmmm what if you are not a girly girl & dont have a handbag??? Is there a dress code at the GC, my work colleagues said it has recently been gentrified so can I get away with smart jeans & trainer type shoes???

Looking forward to meeting you all, although a tad nervous :-$

Cheers Giddy Gecko

[Michael Palaeologus]

Hurrah!

[downsouth]

I'll be there for 8ish too.

[giddygecko]

'K..... Hair... almost done, face half done, need to eat, brush teeth & change tops at least another 3 times, then repeat with shoes before rushing to LL to catch bus down to GC...... Almost there, losing my nerve but I should be there 8:30-9...

Cheers GG

[Ladygooner]

Hope you all had fun - at a house party in Treyarnon Bay with some fellow east dulwich ites I hadn't met before!

[SeanMacGabhann]

I thought I was managing my drink pretty well last night but judging my my head this morning I may well have been talking sh one t to people last night. Very sorry and all that but once again it was great to meet everyone, including some new faces - namely:

Annasfield

Giddiegecko

Downsouth

LostThePlot

Ultraconsultancy (although strictly speaking he turned up to the birthday party so not quite a newbie

among others.

Might see people at various sporting events this weekend as well - cheers all :)-D

[giddygecko]

:)) I had a great time thanks to everyone for persuading me out to finally meet you all.... What a lovely crowd of peeps... Thanks especially to Em for making me feel at home & introducing me to everyone & for making me laugh so bloody much.... thanks to Piers for being a perfect gentleman (I knew you would be)... Well I could go on & thank you all individually but a) it would take forever ... b) I might miss someone out & offend & 3) Oh... I am at work & should getting ready to protect the mean streets of Bermondsey

Thank again one & ALL :)-D ~ Looking forward to the next one

Cheers Giddy Gecko x

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Sorry I couldn't make it, had no babysitter and was then volunteered to babysit my granddaughter, so had a quiet-ish night in for a change!

[SeanMacGabhann]

GG - sorry I didn't get to talk to you as much as I'd hope - the evening have a habit of running out of time. But I could see you were in good hands - she's a doll isn't she?

CWALD - a quiet night in... ah If ONLY you had series 2 eh???? You were missed last night

[giddygecko]

:-$ ha ha she certainly is Mr Sean.... I will catch up with you properly next time.

TTFN ~ GG
