Thats small fry - In our work regular we get _table service_ from the bar maids. 😛 of course, that may be more to do with the fact that i have a habit of buying them drinks when they do it (they’re both cute) rather than it being because we’re their favourite regulars 😉 ---

Yet again, my gender proves a hindrance. I mean, it didn’t even help with the Gyra-Quiz. Although, I will concede there that you probably had all the clever ones. My team was the pissheads. ---

Weekends in January are out for me. This weekend the **kabbess** ’ parents are due to stay (_sigh_) Next weekend I’ve already promised to go shopping. It sounds pathetic but it’s a seismic event that I need to build up to. Moving it is not an option. And the following weekend I’ve already promised to go see friends in Liverpool. But enjoy! ---

Shall I bring the henna this time? Are we confirmed for the 24th? So I can book tickets… and somewhere to stay ---

The 24th sounds lovely to me, so count me in. I’m looking forward to catching up with you lot again. No idea why. Oh, and please try to find a pub that I can park close to - I got clamped after the last one at the Silver Star… ---

Well I had to ask… It certainly beats taking the train down and missing the last one back. ---

Right. The 24th it is then. So far, there’ll be me, **Garius, paulberserker, Tir, Bib, kferr** plus anyone else who thinks March is too far away. Wheeeeeeeee!!! DopeFest time 😃 And for the record, my top will not be coming off. And there will be no photos of my arse or cleavage. Else there will be trouble… ---

Why not drive up to one of the outermost tube stations and get a tube from there? i’ve got mates who do that when they are coming out with us LondonHeads. ---

Well driving down really isn’t a problem at all, it’s just finding somewhere to leave the car of an evening that won’t charge me twenty quid for a few hours of parking or fine me £150 to remove the clamp. And I’d prefer an evening thing if possible - the rest of my day will be spent showing my Canadian cousin and her husband around London. ---
