Report:
First to arrive at the pub were Jennie, Carly, Charles Cooke, and
YHN, who proceeded to commandeer the usual corner of the pub. Some
people ordered drinks immediately, and whilst they were getting
comfortable they were joined by Maurice, who also ordered a drink,
as well as some food. (At this point some other people thought hard
about doing the same, as the smell of the food was very tempting.)
Topics of discussion so far had ranged from "where do we sit?" to
what do we drink?"
Leo arrived next, and was followed in quick succession by Gid, Suzi,
Big Jules and Rand. Now topics stretched to include "Red Dwarf VIII"
and how nice the Bananananana Toffee flavoured White chocolate was,
to "CC, where did you get that 99% chocolate from?", "oo, flakes!",
and "what shall we drink?"
Hugs were given and received, and chocolate was eaten (the bar of
banoffee flavour disappeared particularly fast...), drinks appeared
and discussion resumed. Red Dwarf VIII gained a bit of a foothold,
and the group briefly made a critical examination of the first
episode. The ensuing conclusion was that once again Red Dwarf was a
program that should not be missed.
Over the next 15 minutes more arrivals appeared, in the shape of
Lottie, Peter Ellis, (he of the ready wit and superlative haiku's),
Megamole, Peters brother Jonathan, Ailbhe, Adrian, and a #afp'er by
the name of Melusine.
More hugs were given and received, and more drinking happened.
Handcuffs were produced once again, and the first victims found
themselves wandering around, whilst being given strange looks by
some of the pubs other customers.
Melusine found a comfortable seat on Peter's knee, and Ailbhe and
Adrian again added to the World's *VOM* average. The 'cuffs were
used to terrorize Leo, and he was actually tricked into running away
from someone who didn't actually have the 'cuffs. Jonathan was then
cuffed to a decorative rail, and the key was kept in a safe place by
Melusine.
More arrivals appeared, including the famous Helen Highwater and Tim
Hunt, as well as Richard Kettlewell. Topics soon turned to a
rehearsal of the proposed CCDE flake eating contest, and the flake
bars were distributed by YHN, who somehow managed to end up with a
half a bar (I wonder how that happened). The other recipients were,
Suzi, Big Jules, Lottie, Ailbhe, and Melusine. First to perform was
Suzi, who gave a masterful performance, who was then followed by
BigJules, whose performance was also superb. Lottie made a token
effort, before just eating the flake and exclaiming "it's
chocolate!". Ailbhe's eating of her flake was seen to make several
men wince, and Melusine was distracted by someone else eating their
flake. So all in all, Maurice's flake went down well...
More drinks appeared, Leo and Gid didn't geek welsh, and Leo was on
the receiving end of some very hard questions like "what was the
rugby score today?" <G>
As the evening gave way to night, some people made their way home,
Helen and Tim needing to make the long drive to milton keynes, and
Mel and YHN needed to return to London. As I had to leave, I now
turn the reporting of subsequent events over to anyone who witnessed
them. (I understand that some people went to a curry house, and that
Leo has some more quotes to be added to the ones below)
And the first Ailbhe of the evening was made by Tim Hunt, at
19:52... well done that man. *applause*

Well Done Leo

I do indeedy. Not that many, but some more.

Ah! You *want* me to _post_ them? Okay, here they are:
'Has the plumbing been sorted in the downstairs loo?' - Suzi to Pthomas
(perhaps some explanation is needed here - PThomas' infamous downstairs
loo (as discussed at the Bath meet) flushes _hot_ water... this is
especially painful during meets, when the loo is in frequent use, and
severly overheats... apparantly particularly painful for females...)
'I can get it off easily - I've got small hands' - Peter (okay, he was
quoting a quote, but it's still worth writing up, purely as he said it)
'The really striking thing about Jon is how he can spread them' - Peter
'Thomas Pratchett has surpassed us all - Megamole
'Okay Suzi, how many fingers can you do it with?' - Jon
'Ah, Jon can't do it with his middle finger' - Peter
'I wish mine was that big' - Pthomas
As I left fairly soon after the OSB, and I believe a curry was on the
agenda, then perhaps there are more quotes from afterwards?
A good meet, if I may say so myself, and perhaps Ailbhe might accept my
apologies for my grotesque mis-pronounciations of her name...?
