London meet up - Saturday 9th January

[verbal gymnastics]

A London meet up has been arranged on Saturday 9th January 2016.

Where? Not 100% sure yet.
What time? Can't tell you that yet either, but it will be in the afternoon.

But the important fact is the date has been set so please mark it in your diary.

We aim to have a moan about how much weight we all put on over Christmas, as well as sporting our finest Christmas jumpers and saying how much fun Christmas and the New Year used to be. What's not to like?

So far, those confirmed are

sulky lad
John Foyle
Man out of time
Andy the roofdog
Neil.
sheeptotheslaughter
Buzz
Iansephton
VG (but don't let that put you off)

with unconfirmed appearances from

Goon Squad
little fool
so lacklustre
Mr Getgood

Come and join us. Ladies are particularly welcome.

If you want any other details please PM me.

VG

[Goon Squad]

Nice one VG !
Hopefully I can make it.

[the_roofdog]

Plans for a dry January ruined already.

It's not my fault.

[verbal gymnastics]

If anyone else has the same issue and needs to put the blame on me then come and do it in person. In the pub. Where there is alcohol.

[sheeptotheslaughter]

I was out with VG friday and we said about possibly using the Merchant of Bishopsgate in Liverpool Street Station. I will try and pop oin there this week to see if the can reserve an area for us.

Plus myself and VG have 'Bite' cards which means discount beer

[Goon Squad]

What about "discount Gin + Tonics" ?

[verbal gymnastics]

Nope - men's drinks only. None of your girlie drinks

By the way Mr and Mrs little fool and Mr Getgood are also coming, as is, hopefully Mrs Sheeptotheslaughter.

We might need to check if the Royal Albert Hall is free that night at the rate this is going

[sheeptotheslaughter]

I have booked the Merchant of Bishopsgate fro 2pm January 9th

[johnfoyle]

Great, thanks

[verbal gymnastics]

Good work fella!

[sheeptotheslaughter]

that's ok

[sulky lad]

Advanced apologies for an absence of any recording prezzies for attendees next Saturday. My son offered to up date my PC as a Christmas gift but has run into problems and won't have it mended in time for me to make a Detour 2015 compilation . Sorry you'll just have to make do with my gracious presence and VGs wit and repartee. Looking forward to seeing you all !

[verbal gymnastics]

It's your presence that we want, not your presents!

[Goon Squad]

Comic timing...............it's a gift !

[verbal gymnastics]

Great comedy is all about...

[the_roofdog]

I'm going to be a no-show for this now unfortunately, have to head up North for a couple of days unexpectedly. Have a good one.

[verbal gymnastics]

Are you desperately trying to stick on the dry January?

[Goon Squad]

Bad news and good news ! ( feel free to change bad/good according to your opinion ! )

The bad news is that I definitely can't be there for 2.00.

The good news is that I might be able to get there for 6.00/6.30.

Now the big question.......................... is it still worth me coming along at that time or will you all have gone home to watch The Voice ?

Answers on a postcard please !

I don't have a postcard to hand but I expect to still be there, talking even more rubbish than usual.

Is that possible ?

[verbal gymnastics]

I'm always up for a challenge

[Goon Squad]

I'm always up for a challenge

I'll hopefully be able to make it then................I don't want to miss out on any of your wanton pontification !

[krm]

enjoy!

[Goon Squad]

We did !

[verbal gymnastics]

I managed to enjoy myself too much. But at least I won the challenge to talk more rubbish than usual, as Goon squad will testify

It was a great afternoon and a good turnout with a couple of non-forum lady members from John's Facebook harem!

Hope we get a chance to do it again before Elvis's shows in May.
