For those who didn’t attend, here are some questions: 1 - Which two dopers (mutually) pulled? 2 - Who missed getting a photo of #1 snogging? 3 - Who was able to drink beer from her cleavage without spilling any? 4 - Which young man was rather overcome by beer? 5 - Who stood by me at London Bridge station and didn’t twig until he got to the pub? 6 - Whom did I not recognise straight off because he was considerably different? 7 - Who had to be shown how to operate a certain digital camera? More later. ---

I don’t know the answer to any of the above questions, but I’m certainly looking forward to finding out the answers. ---

The scary thing is that I _was_ there and can still only answer one of the questions with any certainty. Either I left too soon, or my usual disconnect with reality had kicked in again. ---

I know the answer to all but two of those questions. **Tir** does have a rather impressive cleavage. 😉 After you lightweights went home, me and ma boyz went on somewhere else, then somewhere else, spent way too much money and did way too many bad things, and finally arrived home at 7.30am. And I got bitten by a python, twice. Quiet night really. ---

Numbers 1 - 3 I know. Number 4 is a frankly _malicious_ bit of slander designed to sull the good standing of a certain doper (who shall be completely exonerated when the photos of the evening go up). 5 & 6 require knowledge gained by turning up nearlier than I did. My memories relating to 7 are kind of fuzzy as I remember a good few people needing instruction in operation of electronics. ---

> [@Angua](#): > > 1 - No one _actually_ pulled at _this_ dopesfest. You seem to be leaping to a conclusion here. Technically, there were dopers of the opposite sex still present when you left the last pub, so you can’t be entirely sure. [Of course, I can’t be sure either. And I’m going to regret that use of “technically”.] Anyway, what _are_ the answers to 5-7 ? ---

Well, actually the answers to 2 (I had Tir’s camera at the time of the snogging) and 7 (I _was_ feeling the effects of my 4th pint) are yours truly. Yep, I’m a pr\*t. ---

> [@Angua](#): > > 7 - That may have been **Tir** again, but I was known to have had difficulties operating said piece of equipment. Pshah! It was my bloody camera, I think I know how to work it! honestly! I was the only one who **did**! **qts** , nevermind, I missed plenty of snogging piccies too. Oh dear, a Londope with no kissy pics, what a sad, sad day. However, as I mentioned we do have piccies of blokeys bollocks, so I guess that makes up for it. 😉 ---

> [@bonzer](#): > > This should read: “there were dopers of opposite sexes still present …”. That makes far more sense. I think. On reflection [and on preview], the non-hetrosexually biased version of that should be “there were dopers still present …”. I’ll get my coat. ---

I suppose a better answer to that question would therefore be: No one pulled at this Dopefest that I know of. 😉 ---

> [@bonzer](#): > > Anyway, what _are_ the answers to 5-7 ? I think the answer to 7 was me, in the George, attempting to get a photo of **Tir’s** attempt at drinking beer from her cleavage.
