[brum]

I had a lovely time - thanks to all, particularly Georgia for organising, though Georgia this time we didn't really get the chance to slip back into speaking brummie together, did we! Next time...

And a great venue too.

[Strawbs]

sorry jaws and I didnt make it but got sloshed elsewhere and headed home.. Good to see everyone had a great time, we will aim to be at the next one if we can.. x

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I had a super time last night. Thanks for holding my hand, Keef, you were really sweet. (sorry if that dents your image as a rock god!)

Great meeting everyone last night, really enjoyed it. Definately the plushest EDF Drinks venue I've attended (4th on the spin!), and the food samples were pretty tasty...

Now I am going to rough it at Craven Cottage and check out the ale & pies in that neck of the woods :)

[LegalEagle-ish]

Great night - I got good and drunk and scoffed a big fat chicken kebab on my walk up the hill to my waiting bed!

Not even much of a hangover this morning, thankfully.

[Strawbs]

georgia - is the next one 1 may? I have to organise another rye night and am trying to not have it clash with the edf drinks again, unless we do both at the rye? x

[RosieH]

Well I had an excellent night - failed to speak to as many people as I intended to but I think I made up for it by inappropriate touching up of CharlieCharlie's necklace in the toilets - and Keef, yes, I did think you looked quite the cool rider.

Managed to get kebab juice all over the sofa when i got in though.

[Keef]

Nice!

[georgia]

It was a good night, great turnout, sorry if I didn't get to speak to you. Many thanks also to Liz and her team for inviting us and for the nibbles.

[Moos]

Had a great time, and thanks to the Lodge for looking after us - a lovely venue.

Also actually got off my lazy bottom for once, and met some new people who are as charming in real life as they are on the Forum. You may interpret that exactly as you wish.

[Michael Palaeologus]

I feel amazingly perky, but then I didnt get up until noon. The weather is lovely, an afternoon pottering on the balcony and possibly an evening by the River beckon.

Very many thanks to The Lounge for their hospitality.

[SeanMacGabhann]

He means the Lodge, the Lodge. Forgive him - he be more sozzled than he thinks

I bumped into some revellers this morning who looked far better than they had any right to (ooops - Sean casting judgement again) I had an idea the night was going to be good and so it was. Well done georgia for sorting it out and well done the Lodge for putting on a good show. . I like the idea of your forthcoming iPod nights as well

[Michael Palaeologus]

Oh cock.

[Michael Palaeologus]

But David Carnelli smelt nice

[Floating Onion]

Good night then Mr. P?

[ED Lurker]

An excellent night!! Surprised no major hang over. Behold the powers of the lamb doner wrap from stab and wine!

Very nice venue which I think they did very well out of us. Good nibbles, just not enough, felt there could have been more from that point of view.

They need to change the sign outside though, doesn't reflect the interior and feel of the place.

Well done Georgia!

Great to meet as many as I could and put some faces to names!

Roll on next one!!

Nice venue - thanks Georgia.

I decided not to try to talk to everyone in the room on this, my fourth EDF drinks night, and ended up having a laid back and relaxing evening rather than feeling like a stressed-out pinball on steroids.

Had a great night...

..met lots of new people which is great.

Met two longstanding forumites I was hoping to - Moos and jah - and both were, as I expected, well worth the entrance fee alone...infact they both bought me a drink which I didn't return..next time.

Invented children that people didn't have, gave some awful tips for the Grand National, failed to dig myself out of a "come dine with me" hole, drank a bleedin' Gin & Tonic, nearly lost CC's drink....and ended up going down to Camberwell until 4....all good fun...(no Kebab)

[SeanMacGabhann]

And that sir, is partly what makes you a legend

the fact that the 'ammers won probably hasn't hurt your mood tho, now has it?

[????]

Indeed helped hangover a bit. Pleased for Mockney and Rhinestone too (how come I get the 0-0s!), Mockney fretting about if he'd got a suit to wear to the was worth having to have a Gin & Tonic.

Sorry only spoke fleetingly Sean, good to see you as always.

I recall meeting someone who promised to send me a song about actuaries... not yet convinced this wasn't the drink talking and that no such song exists (seems an odd thing to sing about!), but I'll be watching my PMs with interest!

That was me. It's not about actuaries per se (it's about the appropriate time to have "off" between relationships (oh - and penis pumps))! But it is called The Actuary Song and is sung in a musical (called "I Love You Because") by a character who is an actuary! I suppose it has some "actuary-type" qualities about it!!

Enjoyed meeting people: some again, some for the first time but, too many, not at all. Thanks Georgia - and yes, the venue was nice. Decor eclectic. Some of it hideous and some of it rather lovely. Something for everyone - a bit like the people there!!

Edited for my own reasons.

A great night, thank you Georgia! I had such a good time and made new friends.

Looking forward to the next one! Michelle
