England : London CycleChat London Drinks 12th December

[Aperitif]

Photos and names, please! (All bar one of them, of course) Didn't finish work until 9pm...so acted responsibly. Sounds like you had a decent gig.

Another cracking night. Great to see so many familiar faces and even better to meet a couple of new ones. I don't think there were any photo's taken.
Myself and that @arallsopp fella were the last men standing. The pubs minuscule bouncer repeatedly having to ask us to leave.

The only sour note of the evening was someone nicking @Michael Adu 's bag

 

[Trickedem]

Well that was a great night. Really nice to catch up with each other and talk about rides done and rides ahead. I had my camera, but didn't take any photos until I was on the way home.

No pictures from me, I'm afraid. It ended up being quite a long evening (but in a good way), with getting there early to meet Martin B, and then waiting until gone 11 for you to come!

I had a great time, but I think the Sierra Nevada is a touch strong for me to be drinking it for seven hours, without having a nap, so I had to switch to water a couple of times, to prevent myself getting a bit tipsy and saying silly things.

I didn't see any cacti - although I didn't notice any last time until I got home and saw photos - so that doesn't prove anything. But there were some christmas trees.

Also great to see some new people as well as the old favourites!

You will spot me when I turn as probably still have me cycle helmet on

If you had said you would have some gloves on your feet we might have spotted you quicker!
Good to meet - hope you enjoyed the evening.

Well it certainly works for me...

FFS!

 

[rb58]

Gosh! Don't you all look funny in 'civvies'!!!

 

[redfalo]

A really nice evening, apart from
the bag-nicking incident. Sorry for leaving relatively early, but I was still quite shattered from work Christmas drinks the
night before. Now on the train to Northampton to watch some world class football with @ianmac62

 

[frank9755]

Well it certainly works for me...

I suspect that in my case it was only partially successful!

 

[ianrauk]

FFS!

Oh well I am sorry

 

[User10571]

Gosh! Don't you all look funny in 'civvies'!!!

I found all that a bit disturbing, it un-eased me.
Stick to the lycra please - I know exactly where I am with each of you in that.
Please don't throw 'dress sense' into the equation.
Thank you.

The Bridge was certainly looking very fine so thanks for that photo

 

[Em-Emily]

Well, that was ver' ver' pleasant - even though kitchen had run out of pad thai
Good to see a lot of familiar faces.
Good to see some now ones
Thanks for my drink, Phil, and for your company Em

Awesome company to User10571, was nice riding with someone back

I drank far too much wine and forgot to eat anything all evening, so I had a terrible hangover this morning.

It wasn't just you. A few minutes after I rolled home from my party, my best beloved turned up in a cab telling the same story. And then our central heating failed.

 

[srw]

No, but it meant that when she got up early she got very chilly. And it turned out that the central heating failure was a failure of the installers to explain to us how to maintain it.
