Just walked in the house.

Was good to meet a few of the denizens of this Parish.

Notable were Messrs Jelf, Corfield, Thant, asdf, Anderson, Briscoe and 
Rosenstiel

Certain others were notable by their absence.

Suggestions were made that this could be a bi-annual event; I leave it 
to the masses to discuss the advisability or otherwise of this 
suggestion.

Thanks for a good night out chaps, very enjoyable.

My profound apologies to Mr Dulieu... I forgot to text you.  It went on 
until we were kicked out!

My absence from your message is notable!

It is - please don't take anything by that.  I just tried to remember 
off the top of my (addled) head who was there.  Of course I offer no 
excuse for missing you out!

Yes, great to meet people. Sorry I had to go early.

Apologies for absence, work-based. I'm a strong supporter of bi-annual-
isation.

I'd have come along apart from the fact I didn't realise it was 
happening until a day or two before. And something else was in the diary 
by then.

That's Jeff of course and Steve Fitzgerald posted the above and John
Rowland announced himself elsethread

And that means ?

Many a NG would argue for six months or two years on whether biannual
or biennial was the One True Way.

I'd also have come along, though work commitments got in the way
tonight!

Grief - what time did you leave the pub? Midnight?

This is beginning to smack of organisation.  Far better for it to be
arranged as and when people feel like it and with perhaps a bit better
advance notice and reminders given we've had a few "would like to have
come if we'd known" comments.

In future I will be asking for all LU related questions to be submitted
in advance so I have a chance of being able to answer them ;-)

Just my 2p worth.

About that. We were evicted at closing time but stood outside chatting 
for a little while after admiring the bendy buses;)  It does take me 
about 1 1/2 hours to get home from there too; I don't have a direct 
Victoria line train like some you know!

The date was set a good time ago based on the fact Ian would be in 
London and my rest days.  I suppose the mistake was assuming people read 
messages and maybe we should have had more regular 'a pissup is 
occurring' messages.

>In future I will be asking for all LU related questions to be submitted

I did note comments before you arrived (can't remember who from) that PC 
will be able to answer all our Oyster queries when he arrives!  If it's 
any consolation, I was grilled on train operation.

Arrived back home at 1.45am this morning (!) so only able to post now.

I'd echo Steve's comments at how pleasant it was to meet people.   I had 
a thoroughly pleasant evening and look forward to doing at again 
sometime.   I think Paul's idea of just informally someone suggesting a 
date every few months would work well, as would - having set the date 
and venue - posting reminders on the NG every few days to let as many 
people know as possible.

Incidentally, it's a *long* time since I've quite so much time on public 
transport as I did yesterday.   I'd reached my daily cap before 1130 and 
only started at 0938!   I seemed to need to interchange at Bank/Monument 
an inordinate number of times, too.   I'm sure that's why I have 
blisters, not from wandering around Notting Hill looking for Marc 
Bolan's address!

All the best everyone.

Guilty as charged, m'lud!

I consider I escaped rather well from being blamed for every tourist's 
misdemeanour in the Capital.......
