Mockey's just winding you up! T-Shirt story, what a load of baloney. ....


Or no, I can;t think of anything cunning to throw you off the scent. Yes I have a "Lost The Plot" t-short, but embarrasingly I could not find it......


All,


When my alarm went off at 5am I was seriously regretting having had more than my supposed two pints. Felt crap all day, and even crapper this morning having watched the rugby in a dive of a pub in Chichester, then rolling into my tent. I think I'm going to have abath now and go to bed.....or maybe watch tonights match in Hoopers....Who knows!


Anyway, to everyone I met, a big thanks for making me feel so welcome. Dicussions included Camera Porn, Golf Porn and Halo 3 Porn.....YOu know who you are so thanks! I look forward to recognising faces on the street now, looking forward to the next one, and will refuse any work for the day after!

You make a very good point about work the next day. With the BEST. WILL. IN. THE. WORLD. it isn't really possible to function post forum drinks. Or worse, a chance encounter outside, say, the Drum or EDT.


This could be viewed as a good sign of the quality of company. As long as employers continue to indulge us...


In a parallel universe I hear told that Keef is still suffering from Friday night. Me too...And I am venturing out once AGAIN tonight (Boothby Graffoe at the East Dulwich Comedy Club if anyone is interested) so I am not learning any lessons. Having a ball tho'

Brandon? Who is this Brandon?


Pumas? Pumas? Well I suppose you'll be wanting a soft final.


Just spoke to my neighbour. Apparently I was singing at the top of m voice when I came up the garden path early yesterday morning. I must have had a good night.

Have been asleep all afternoon in an attempt to recover from my 3 hours kip on Thursday night/fri morning, the 5 hours I had on fri night/sat am, and to top it all off I managed to get to bed at 3.30 this morning.


I don't think that living in ED is doing me any good....... :-S

I think the obvious answer to that is.. both.


I have to report that despite Friday night, a similar performance on Saturdat AND doing the same tonight I feel ok...... It will all kick in when I arrive at my desk tomorrow I'm sure

Hi, it was really good/interesting to meet some of you on Friday. I didn't get enough time to talk to even half of those there - it was only as I was leaving that I saw that the action had moved outside. Despite my short cameo appearance i still had a good time. I will be sure to stay longer next time - although from the comments above I'm just glad that my head wasn't thumping in the morning.

I don't remember leaving or getting home...:-$


Must remember to eat before these events. Sorry if I talked a load of crap all evening (nothing new there mind you)


It was a good night - what I remember of it anyway....Great to meet some new people and good to see all the regulars again.

Hi Asset - A few people there last night were there on the strength of the Radio 4 show - but I've not heard it so can't comment.


I know that when I saw him present some shows back in the 90s I didn't like him at all and was dissapointed to see him on a bill when I went out to a comedy club some years later - however, that's when I "got" him


I've seen him live several times and he can be dreadfully sloppy but he was great last night. Slightly odd crowd - he got a massive ovation when he finished and got an encore but everyone seemed happier to smile rather than laugh during the show itself. A few other forumites were there too, so it was good to see them too


Good to have the club open again - even if it feels a tad boxfresh. Ron and Emma have put a ton of work into it so I'll be going back for more (reminder - Stewart Lee is on later this month - genius. Shame I can't make it)

Anna - simply buy a spare liver. Works wonders. Simply change them over the morning after the night before and hang the spare one up to dry out for use the next morning.

Hmm, this might have worked except the original came out waving a white flag last night

I took it easy yesterday too, but the lack of sleep, Mrs Keef's cold (cheers luv), and 2 evil hangovers have basically beaten me. Must think about getting dressed and buying some food in a minute...


Oh, and next weekend will be anything but quiet, you know it makes sense! And the Swan was your suggestion! ;-)

      Be careful in local shops

      There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Sue · Posted

      As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
