Mwahahahaha!!!
The Monster Raving Looney Party cowers and weeps before us!
Hmmm…Could you see ‘Strip Musical Chairs’ as being a legitimate quiz round?
If not,I need to go reorganize something 
Well, I certainly won’t be participating - I’d scare everyone away. Besides, I’m staying fully clothed this DopeFest.
I can see ‘Strip Musical Chairs’ getting us all barred from the Silver Cross, certainly…
Very probably. Doesn’t matter to most of us, but those who get to the thread a bit late have to wade through pages of rubbish (no offence, chaps) to find the ‘where and when’ bits.
Right, seeing as the Dopefest is in two weekends’ time, on the 27th, I thought an update, complete with times and places written in big highlighted letters, might be a good idea. So:
**The time: 27th November from 2pm
The place: [COLOR=RED]The Silver Cross Pub, in Whitehall, London. See here for a map.**
There will be: rugelach, as baked by the wonderful, effervescent Eva Luna, a quiz, with the erstwhile Iceland Blue taking the role of our very own John Humphrey, and mine pies.
For food, we shall pile into a curry house or similar nearby, on the day.
This should be good fun.
And now I’ve fixed the coding errors, it might be easier to read.

I’m one UK Doper who won’t be there, I think, but I do want to wish you all a VERY good time. (Sounds as though it will be, in any case) 
I won’t be there - I’ll be at the one in the new year, though.
MINE pies? :wally
Actually Mine pies are the preferred Dopefest spelling - resulting from the last rambling, barely on-point thread.
Yup, ConfessorKnight’s correct. They are MINE mies, not MINCE pies, since my original typo last year. People’s hearts tremble for mine pies.
I’m sure when I was a young Celyn at school we had to sing a little song about “mine pies have seen the glory…”
Well, keep your sodding pies and see if I care! I will make mine very own pies then. Translated, that means, anybody within about a hundred miles or so of Glasogw, please to 'phone the Fire Brigade now)
Here we go, the origins (and subsequent insane discussion) of mine pies.
Celyn – I’ve been known to post baked goods to people…
Did anybody ever go down and say owt to the folk at the Silver Cross?
Well, I certainly haven’t – its quite hard from Brimingham.
I’d assumed that either you or Garius were going to do so. I could twist Bonzer’s arm to go talk to them, but I think the last time he (and I) were in there, we had to be literally dragged out…
Or, I could just call them… Now there’s a cunning plan…
Right, have just called them. We can’t have the downstairs bit, cause there isn’t going to be that many of us – I estimated 30-ish, but, they have reserved us what they call ‘Area 1’. Basically as you come in through the right hand door of the pub, there are some steps by the disabled lift, and apparantly Area 1 is round there. That’s reserved for us.
Yay! We have a plan. Hurrah!
Be more like Area 51. What does that mean? A table set aside?
Nah, I think its probably more along the lines of a semi-enclosed area type thing that they’ll set aside for us. It better bloody not be just one table, otherwise I will go medieval on their arses. But hey, its better than nothing.
