Brit Dope Winter 2003

Oh, its all right really, I’m just being maudlin. I wouldn’t actually go out with her because

A) She’s my boss.
B) I want to settle down, and I can’t really see myself in any sort of relationship with her beyond the physical.
C) Her heart belongs to Johnny Wilkinson

And in order to avoid a complete hijack, the Mongolian is actually pretty good.

Right, sod this for a game of soldiers, I’m bored, and not actually getting things done. I’m off home to bake and bake and bake and bake.

See you all tomorrow!
Hurrah!! :smiley:

Ditto. If anyone wants me i’ll be in the Columbia Bar in Aldwych, [sub]at least i will be until one of the bar staff remembers that i’m barred…[/sub]

see you tomorrow folks!

I’ll be there, took lots of time to wade through all this thread to finally get to some of yer atcheral intstructions.

What’s on “Maidment Street”?

For the avoidance of doubt, the Mongolian Barbecue is on Maiden Lane in Covent Garden, here. Accept no substitutes.

Enjoy!

Well, so much for Ianzin’s hope for better weather than 22nd.

It’s pooey weather.

This must means lots of indoor activities, shopping is out unless it means staying in one large store, and everyone else will be doing that, so maybe its drinkie poos!

well i lurked. couldn’t find anyone at charing cross cuz it was closed, so i headed to chardons, it was packed so i went to the imperial and had two beers. i got bored, and went to silver cross at 6:30 but a drunk guy was chasing me around so i was barely there for 5 minutes. if anyone saw a girl with a blue backpack and a blue and orange bears scarf it was me.

ewakko,
we were downstairs.

I fucking love you all, I hope you all got home safe.

Twisty.

BTW Frannie, I have your book.I’ll send it on to you.

Guess who’s going to regret their actions in the morning?

go on, guess who? Angua, can you guess?

does anyone know if there is a film with Sean Connery has a scottish accent?

I’m too tired to do a proper post-event report, but I couldn’t go to bed without providing the promised cites to a particular skeptical member of the quiztaking public:

Here.

You.

Go.

I trust this thoroughly assuages your doubts as to the genuine nature of the items in question.

Having now actually had more than 2 consecutive hours of sleep, may I say that you folks certainly know how to make a girl feel welcome? I’m on a public computer, so I can’t post properly obnoxious commentary just yet (plus a) the caffeine hasn’t kicked in yet - and you folks say you make strong tea! Hah! and b) I’m sure some of you - and I’m looking at you, ianzin can do that far more effectively than I). And it appears that if I hang out with you guys again, I should just pick a backrub victim at random if I want one in return). But you’re all lovely, at least the ones I got to talk to! Remind me to post the rugelach recipe when I get home, and maybe an excerpt from Leo Rosten’s The Joys of Yiddish on the ethnocoltural history of rugelach, when I get home on the 10th if I can stay awake long enough…

And now it’s off to the V&A! Yippee!

i just woke up without a hangover.

blimey.

I didn’t …

heh.

nya :stuck_out_tongue:

Despite being prevented from leaving in timely fashion due to the overrunning quiz I did in fact manage to make it into work this morning in an almost punctual display of determinism and sheer work-ethic. In fact my skill was such that the only time the veneer of polite attentiveness began to crack was when confronted with the legendary (and, oh, so convincing) “I pay your wages” argument.
All in all an excellent fest involving more erudition, cleavage, expense and tickling than may be reasonably believed.

I ended up missing my last train home (by one minute) and had to crash at my friend Isa’s (who came to the last mini-Londope for two whole minutes). This entailed going to the Candy Bar and meeting up with our Finnish friend who is currently staying with us, being chatted up by 16-year-old experimental straight girls (conversation: ‘What do you do?’ ‘A-levels. What do you do?’ ‘I’m a teacher …’ Bit of a non-starter that one), becoming good friends with a truly bent copper and scaring the people on the bus, even in Soho.

I’m just so normal compared to all my friends. :rolleyes:

yeah me and shade got lucky and made our train with 2 minutes to spare

Hello. I had a lovely time and it was great to see you all again (and to meet the people I hadn’t met before). Did Space Cowboy make it home okay?

I think Tir is looking particularly fabulous these days, don’t you?
