Hmmm… I think, from the clothing, I’ve managed to identify all of them, but **Tir** , one’s a repetition isn’t it?

I thought that at first, but after careful consideration I have confirmed that they do infact have different owners.

Lookng over the pictures I was initially pleased to see that (unlike previous sets) I don’t generally look like I’m gurning for my country - but the photo with trying on **Bib’s** hat has sent me into paroxyms of worry about the shape and size of my nose.

LOVE the pics, **Tir** , and the captions as ever (Jemima from Playschool, LMAO :D)

No idea whose bollocks those are, but the boob shots drew admiring comments from ma girlz.

**Conf** you have a very handsome nose.

It’s the size of your username you should be worrying about.

Oy, mum! Look, I’m on the internet! Grabing my bollocks!

She’d be so proud… blinding time on Saturday. Great to meet you all. Better yet, I now know of a pub with a kebab shop right next door. Why did I go home???

Just quote the number of the photo and your caption and I’ll get 'em changed.

Looking over the pictures I note that I wasn’t actually there. I can only conclude that I fell asleep on the train into London Bridge and spent the next seven hours going back and forth on the London Bridge-Victoria shuttle and just dreaming I was at the George and Shipwrights with you lot.

In which case I think I was hallucinating as well. I do recall conversations with you about cookery, and how you were going to go home and cook a lamb roast. Which led to various conversations about cookery, and different methods of cooking. So, if you were hallucinating, then so was I. 🙂

Unlike with most of the questions in the thread, this one’s being asked _because she doesn’t know_. I suspect **qts** , but someone please confess.

Incidentally, good to see that the photos conclusively establish that I was the one with the largest head.

And I would like to add at this point, that the reason I don’t know is not because I was too drunk to remember, but because I was savagely attacked from behind, hence I have no idea as to who it was.

Hmmm… Not sure. It appears to be a close run thing between you and **ConfessorKnight**. But I’m tired, so my eyes could be playing nasty tricks on me.
