Ditto the '1pm to 2pm' arrival time, but will have to fly the nest by 4-5pm at the latest. Numerous reasons, none of them interesting.:o

is a bloke phrase.


If you girlies want to nick our words, you also have to learn the next one in the sequence :-

'Its my round next'

A quick what anyway?

I can't even afford a glass of water, let alone a train fare... so I'll be sitting this one out...again

Waaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

See some of you at Gatwick (which, thankfully, is already paid for)

BRL - Thanks for organising another hum-dinger which at least remained in one pub....now we know who the real troublemakers were at the last Bash

Finally arrived home after navigating the complexities of Thameslink, ( GR : Not all trains find their way to London Bridge, but I suppose you knew that anyway!). Its funny but the Elephant and Castle underground has a marvellous sobering effect.....

Great to meet you all - Small world Singaporegirl, isn't it.

I do have one confession though.....I "found" £8.45 in my pocket, the change from a round, which I'll give to BRL for the next Bash...not that I'd had too much to drink you understand

Sounds like it was good

I nearly got to attend yesterday's bash, but a family commitment kept me away

Next one though, hopefully.

Thumbs up

Errrrrrr......why do i have these big posters next to me.......

Great bash, great people not a bad pub a bit rowdy later on but we settled back down again.!!

I have some pictures courtesy of Grim reapers mobile phone, its got a digital camera in it and was used quite a lot. Can't find the picture of GR14 with a condom up his nose and coming out of his mouth, must have deleted that one by mistake.....

As i say a great time was had in the pub, I am sure SKUA turned up briefly later on and disapeared quite quickly too, i turned around to say hi and he had gone.!! We weren't that bad surely...... (Apologise to Dubs and £6 for the slurry phone calls)

After the pub myself, FFF, Saab Dastard and Ian Poll went off for a curry and a beer.(Ian needed cheering up after his rugby team got a hiding against some part-timers from Barking....) Nice place it was too. I can't remember how the bill got sorted out at the end, i know what was left of the kitty got used up but i am sure it wasn't enough so if i owe somebody a few quid let me know.

A short walk (Uneventfull) to the tube then train home. woke up on the couch at home at 4:30 still with coat on sweating...!!

A good time was had. There were some discussions as for the next one, might be around valentines day, the weekend before or something like that. Can't think of much more to write, head is pretty much still achy.

Until next time.... Adios...

Had a great time - still amazed that we didn't get thrown out of the pub, though, I have to admit. And I've never seen anyone leave a pub with so much of the pub's furnishings blatantly under his arm!

As always, good to meet up with old friends again, and to meet a few new faces. Hope we didn't embarass the bash virgins too much

Hope to see you guys at the next one or the Gatbash

BRL,

Thanks for organising the fun and frolics.

I obviously didn't drink enough 'cos I DISTINCTLY remember you saying that you would organise the next fly-in at Duxford for April 2003.

I might even have my licence by then

Good to see you guys and gals - here's looking forward to the next one

I do hope that I scotched all those 'going home cos I'm a poof' rumours..... Granted I didn't stay for a curry, but then I never did like to confuse drinking and eating.

Must've had a great time cos the 5 or 6 hours I was there shot by, save a few moments...well, one.

BRL - The memory of you sitting there with a three inch bogey welded to your little finger, is not one that I will forget in a hurry.

Grim Reaper 14 will not be going to the 'Valentines' bash because-

a) His girlfriend will have left him by then if he keeps getting home b0ll0cksed;
b) He can't bear the thought of causing Iain Poll's team to lose to St.Dunstans reserve team (ladies) again;
c) BRL won't give him an assurance that he'll blow his nose;
d) Someone else will have a 'photo-phone' by then and he'll have no control over which images get mailed to 'Big Red'.

Glad to see that two (three with Fu-Fu) girls managed to turn up this time. I can't believe that one of them took the whip home though Typical....

Well...just woken up and am now able to focus enough to write...

Good to meet you all and experience your party tricks . Difficult to know how to respond to singaporeboy's question 'So what were they like then?' (Answer: Clean-living, totally professional, and we talked about met and nav all afternoon...or maybe that was on the tube home! )

Eveepee - yes, it is a small world indeed. I shall pass on your regards to Ben when I next see him.

FuFu

Thanks for setting my mobile phone alarm for 4:15 sunday morning - don't argue I know it was you!!

As has been reported here I was gutted that my Rugger team (Chelmsford) lost 7 3 in an important league match, I dont know, they hust have fallen apart without the cornerstone! Have a look at chelmsfordrugby.com for a laugh.

Great bash, no idea how we paid for the curry - thanks to everyone who put into the whip if we did it that way..

Big Red / Grim, how about putting up a few of the piccies??

Roll on the next one!!
