Just .... got .... home ....
Jeez, hector, I knew you were wobbly on the bike... but your got smacked by a car? Wow
are you OK?!?
I left Applespider, and a guy whose name and nick escape me (good bloke, though!) on the tube train... I almost nearly missed the stop at Charing Cross though
I hope Blue Velvet made it to safety ... I think dietcokevanilla was looking out for her.
A splendiferous day! I probably shouldn't have mixed beer, Cava, pimms, tequila and rum (damn you Blue Velvet... with the tasty tasty rum and other intoxicants).
Absolutely fantastic to meet everyone... had a good chat with almost everyone (*waves at Lau*). BV's new iPod speakery box thing sounded great (she's also got an fantastic iPod shuffle mix thing going on). Good to see hector (both hector the man and hector the dog)... and skunk, and (I think...) Mrs. Skunk.... and everyone else whose names and nics I've forgotten.... well done all who came from far afield to say hello... and manymany congratuwellations and thanks to all who organised (Applespider, BV and all)...
Will do it all over again soon
... I'm so tired ...
btw... I think I might be the red (ish... really, not *really* red) haired bloke in the pics... :S

I think most of the attendees are tired and emotional... Am definitely off to bed now...
And Piarco75.... thanks for carrying much of my stuff much of the way home
Well I carry on the role call - I'm back in one piece!
Great day folks - despite me getting there very late thank to me being, ahem, directionally challenged.. glad I made the effort to check the other side of Chester Road! many thanks to Blue Velvet for organising the day, and thanks to everyone who turned up.. my high expectations of MR folks was definitely met... and they definitely went higher
Hector, can't believe you came off your back you crazy b*stard! Here's another pic of your melon masterpiece. Tempted to make a melon related comment, but I reckon we churned out enough today
I will come good on my drinks after work one night suggestion too....

Hey! Nice to see I'm so memorable
... I'll put that down to the Pimms/Tequila Ad Hoc Mix.... maybe it should be renamed "The Applespider"?But its so early! Anyone up for a club?Applespider said:

Aww.... crap
I think you only told me your forum nick... and that bit of knowledge fell out of my brain somewhere between charing cross and Orpington,... :SClub!? CLUB!? Egads!
Oh, and I don't reckon Applespider would be too pleased with being named after the concoction currently brewing inside my stomach :O
That reminds me ... I suddenly realised on the way home that I hadn't asked Applespider what her surname was... I know when translated from another language it means "Applespider", but I can't figure out which it could be...

On the train home, the woman opposite me kept running her foot up my leg. I'm pretty sure she thought it was the leg of the table. It wasn't.
... and then I fell asleep!!

Oooh my head - I don't feel too good.
An excellent day out - thanks to all who made the effort.

I have removed all the relevant pics, I think. PM if you are still unhappy. Apologies all round.
I couldn't make it to London today but I was there in spirit. It looks like you all had a fantastic time, It'd be great to do something similar again next summer.
Props to Blue Velvet, Applespider, skunk and anyone else who helped organise the day. Good job with the happy Mac face, skunk.
