    Possibly the quote of the year, my sentiments exactly.
    Bunch of squares me up and nothing to report. This is rubbish.
    I should have organised something with dolce vita, put a bit of a spark in to
    the event.

    Apparently you and Bruno had spent so much time together you didn’t know who to hold the umbrella handle :rotfl:

    What exactly would you lot have done if Bruno had turned up wielding an Artichoke?

    It would have been good to meet up with you as well beingjdc.....What time did you arrive?

    Probably would have been slightly after half past three? I would only have been able to stay for about an hour anyway. I can only walk up to tables of strangers after I've been drinking for a while, not before I start!

    I was going to tell you how I ate that artichoke, but that'll have to go to the Old Style board I see :) As will my mushroom soup recipe from Friday night (which, frankly, has frozen very well but is, er, too mushroomy).

    Anyway I promise to try and say something about house buying, renting, selling and prices soon if people insists (and not just keep complaining at the VOA's claim that my flat is in Council Tax Band F)...
    Hurrah, now I have more thankings than postings, cheers everyone!

    Whew! I've hardly been online since Friday, so sorry for the belated posting on this thread after the "big event".

    It was lovely to meet everyone, I really enjoyed the afternoon.

    Thanks again, let's do it again soon!

    Next time, perhaps some form of identifying mark would be good so you know who you're looking for. Being money savers, how about using a special offer sticker on your top. Like 2 for £5

    Or even better a whole group of people with BOGOF on their shirts!!

    Please! I have some sense of style!

    I liked Shaz's birthday balloon idea. That's cute.

    We were very easy to spot - there's no need for balloons or sticky labels. It was the best looking bloke in the pub with a group of extremely good looking, beautifully dressed and ferociously intelligent women all ranting on about the price of houses for no obvious reason.

    Oh and a bloke looking on in the corner with an umbrella in his cul that looked like he wished it was an artichoke.

    did no-one take any pics?
    "Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
    Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.
