[Michael Palaeologus]

Huzzah!!

What alot of new people. God bless you all for turning up.

I seemed to have drunk alot of stout, so:

Good Night.

[buggie]

... have got back and realised I warmed up so much I left my cardie there - if anyone's picked up a grey M&S autograph cardigan (or handed it in as lost property) could they let me know?!!

Otherwise a v good night - nice to chat to so many peeps.

Cocktails were fab and the nibbles were good too! Going to bed now as got extractor fan man arriving at 08.30!! x

I very sensibly kept myself to 2 drinks which I was glad about with my lovely 5.45am start...

I don't suppose any of you accidentally walked off with my scarf did you (red and white).

Just a quick note to say thanks for the all forumites for making me feel really welcomed last night! Had a great night & really enjoyed myself... head slight sore this morning but hey... no pain no gain... ;-)

[chuff]

and a thanks from me for being so non-scary. Next time I plan to be hardcore and stay to the end.

Excellent night, good to see lots now newbies. Got to chat to more and more people, and connect some more names to faces. Good to see Karter finally putting in an appearance ;) Looking forward to the next one already.

[LegalEagle-ish]

I turned up after mpst people had gone home but managed to drag my very shy other half along with me.

Good night tho!

[chuff]

I have very dry skin this morning, did anyone try and extract my lifeforce last night?

[karter]

Dry skin and you don't even drink Chuff, must be the cold weather. Miles, how could i not turn up when i had an italian dude and a friend at my doorstep, couldn't say no to that now.:-S.

It was a good night last night, nice to see local people that i knew at the drinks. The sunken area was reserved for the edf that made mingling easy. The service was great, and Angela provided food for the forumites which was a nice touch.

( Best customer service awards for the Black Cherry ADMIN?).

[buggie]

Cardie found!! Was safe behind the bar, think got bit of a slowburning hangover though :(

[Miles]

Hey Karter, the food was amazing, the Cherry did themselves proud. They might be a little more expensive for drinks but with the grub thrown in it was a bargin.

[chuff]

Oh yes the food was lovely

[matthew123]

Yup great meeting everyone - just got out of bed and my head is banging like a drum kit!

[bob]

Big respect to Angela for being such a great host! I spent a lot of the evening sat with some non forum friends, so sorry I wasn't hugely social. Still was a nice evening.

[Applespider]

Was a fun evening and ended up talking to quite a few people. I just hope I remember all those names for next month! :-$

Did get a shock looking at my watch to discover it was nearly 1am at one point. Wow! How time flies when you're having a good time, I guess.

And the nibbles were a lovely surprise. Thank you - will definitely be back in to order food again.

[georgia]

Great night, good to see everyone and to meet some new forumites. Many thanks to Angela as well.

[SiriH]

Is this a monthly event? I don't know a single person in ED, would be nice to meet some new people for a change. :>

[SeanMacGabhann]

This is textbook stuff. For an evening that is meant to be just a few drinks down the road, I have had that reaction on several occassion

And yes SiriH, they are on the first Friday of every month - so next one is at the Forest Hill tavern I believe - which is in East Dulwich but a bit away from the lane. They did us proud last time we went so come along

There are also several other open events which people on here go along to. I'm partial to the curry club which also meets once a month..

[????]

For the record...I owe Brendan and Sean a pint

[????]

...those were the only two pints I had of course

A pint each I hope!

I'm considering moving south, we've got nothing like this north of the river, your little community may be unique in London altogether as the Surbiton one is like a cemetery. Maybe I'll make the trip over for one one day.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Come on over David, its lovely down Sarf!
