Report:
As I wasn't the first queueueueuer to queue I can't say much about
what happened before I got there, so I'll leave that to others...
The Queueueue was about 6 strong when I joined, and had already
produced cuddly toys. Most of the next half hour was taken up by the
usual discussions, (chocolate, Pterry, King of the Hill, Simpsons,
and Blazing Saddles). Also discussed was the fact that, as well as
computer characters, female comic characters also seem to defy
gravity, (prompted by Barry reading his "Ghost" Comic). We were
joined by other afp'ers, including the beatific Johanna. While
queueueueueing, the group were treated to the Wotjacallum Players
promoting their Play of Carpe Jugulum in full dress.
Shameless plug space...
Carpe Jugulum,

10th, 11th, 12th, 13th November

I know it's been announced, but this is a favour to someone... :)
An~ejo liked the erm... Costume... of the man playing Mightily Oats,
while most of the male population liked a certain other costume that
will remain undescribed for purity reasons... :)
After having our books signed, we split up, and some adjourned to do
some shopping.
Returning to the Conservatory, yhn found it shut, and was notified
that the rest of them were in the Angel, (the pub originally
suggested by ppint). Joining them there, yhn made a quick note of
who else was there before disappearing for a short time to take care
of some private matters. Returning some time after to find that many
of the queueueuers had joined to pub. bernard made a quick
appearance, and made it known that a Model^Wwork of art of the
seamstresses guild would some be underway.
From now on the meet report gets sketchy, as I decided to partake of
the meet, rather than observe...
Things discussed included the C4 program "Monkey Business",
specifically the little ooklings, As well as the fact that in Neal
Street East, there is a hairdressers named Windle Hairdressers. Some
people read books in the corner of the pub, Ailbhe Ailbhe'd, Photos
were taken, and a sleeping Colette looked peaceful. An~ejo was seen
to be almost melting while receiving a massage from two other
afp'ers,
Toward the end of the evening, two people who were sitting at a
table we had been using asked if any of us had played Discworld II,
and could any help be given if we had. Gideon quickly supplied them
with the information they needed to carry on their gaming quest, and
when he found out that they didn't read the books, yhn attempted to
bring the word of PterryOBE to more of the masses. He thinks it
worked. muahahahaha!!!!!
After leaving the pub, those afp'ers that were left adjourned to a
fish and chip shop to obtain sustenance, and began a trek to the
underground station known as Oxford Circus. Just as we approached
the station, Lonewolf suddenly found that he had left his bag in the
pub, and the last view the rest had was him quickly making his way
back down Oxford Street (meep meep seems appropriate at this point.
The rest of us made our way to the needed platforms, and began our
journey home.

where he is, and what he's doing, at all times.
