Several times, thank you… 
Sweet.
Devine.
Jebus.
I’m tired. This weekend rocked like a bag of stones. Lno, you can count yourself amongst the luckiest people in the world when I say that you spend some of the evening tucked between Tansu’s breasts.
We have photo evidence.
Obi, it appears that you missed me in your list. I have taken suitable affrontage to that and will demand a lightsabre duel at the next fest.
Gartog, remind me at the next fest to bring a dishcloth, and we shall have a chicken.
It was all over far, far too quickly. I didn’t get to speak to enough people (partly because I’m too lazy to get up and mingle, and partly because it was actually frigging difficult to climb out of the pew style pub seat I had). I’m not proud of smoking those couple of fagorettes, but God they tasted good.
Francesca is all kinds of fabulous and wonderful.
Anahita is lovely.
jr8 is a sweet, furry little chap.
hibernicus was as delightful as ever.
kabbes is Amazing Beer Carrying Man, who appears without warning to help carry beer from bar to table. And he nestled lno to his bosom, too.
Steve Wright is a top, top bloke, and far too good for Oxford.
TwistofFate is a nutster.
I can’t think of anything pertinent to say about anyone else right now. This is because I am tired.
Ladies, please back me up on this - was the ladies’ piss shop in the Silver Cross not absolutely enormous? More cubicles than normal for a pub toilet, surely. Or is it just my skewy provincial ideas playing tricks with me?
Instead of the beer scooter, I got home on the Fortuitous Bus, this being a number 24, which pulled up at a bus stop directly outside the pub as I walked out. The 24 wends its happy bussy way to Pimlico via Victoria and down Belgrave Road, upon which my hotel was situated. Almost door to door service, therefore it rained not upon me. I love buses.
London was once again far too warm for me, and I am glad to get back to the more temperate north.
ahem.
Thank you.

Thank you, carry on…
Aww nuts 
I can’t believe I forgot you, sorry Twisty. I knew that blasted list would come back around and bite me in the arse.
Let me say again…Alex B, Anahita, Casdave, Crusoe, Fierra, Francesca, Gartog, Hibernicus, Ianzin, Jojo, jr8, Kabbes, Kferr, Lamia, Mervin, Rebecca, Steve Wright, Synnic, Tansu and TwistofFate you’re all stars.
Did I forget anyone this time? (I’m really, really hoping I didn’t)
Ok guys… here we go…
The beginnings of the Londope site…
If you got stuff to add to it, or any comments, send an email to the addy in my profile!
You forgot lno! 
Aaargh, a Star Wars reference! Twisty go stand in the corner for 10 minutes and hang your head in shame… !
Don’t mind me, I just popped in to try out my new sig.
The pictures are on their way to Synnic as we speak.
This was easily the best 'dope ever. I had a fabulous time and am well pissed off that I only made it there at 20:30. Arse!

Anyone who shows up to a Fest with a tray full of pints is welcome, no matter how late he shows up!
kabbes, you are just plain good craic. I wish we could’ve all stayed until the wee hours of the morning. I could’ve picked your brain all night. Us Frenchies and our brain eating!
Hey - that was Steve’s round. He bought it, I just carried it. I wouldn’t like to take credit for that. My round came after you left
Now that the matter of honour is out of the way - I very much enjoyed meeting you too Annie. I was gutted that the four of you had to leave at half-ten. You missed shennanigans with chairs and everything.
Tooth-and-nail fest was a definite success!

Thanks to Synnic, there are more phest-photos on the site.
kferr The group that sang “Berkshire Poppies” is Traffic. Steve Winwood co-wrote the song.
Thank GOD for Google.

See my amazing double chin!
I seem to have a pint in every photo. I may change my username to “Barney”.
