Cool, chrismear went. I met him at the last London meetup; he's a good guy.
posted by TheDonF 20 November | 06:47
Indeed he is, TheDonF. And I discovered that he lives just down the road from me and is therefore Almost An Essex Boy.

Ah, cool. Now you can have your own mini meetups. Are you going to the Bricklayers on the 8th of Dec?
posted by TheDonF 20 November | 07:11
Indeed I am. From the talk on the grey, it should be well-attended.

Coooooooooooooooool. Some kind of seat reservation technique might be in order if there's going to be a few of us.

Cambridge is so posh that they sounded a gong for dinner, and then said Grace in Latin. No beer was served, only sherry before dinner, wine with the meal and port afterwards (I had OJ and water). The taxi I took back to my hotel was a Jaguar. Oh, and Tom Bosley was also a guest in my hotel. I saw him at breakfast.

I'm always impressed with how dressed up my English friends get when they go out. I see y'all are no exception! Looking fine.

We had beer in the bar after you left :)

Mr. C??

Yes jon. I cannot see him as anything other than Richie's dad.
posted by essexjan 20 November | 09:33
Me either. that show where he played a priest kind of freaked me out. Kind of like the meetup pics. You're all dressed like grown-ups and stuff.

Wow, ties and everything. Thanks for the shoutie, ej. Looks like a lovely evening (but where's Big Elvis? : )

We didn't need Big Elvis, we had Henry VIII instead. He led a life that was pure 16th century rock 'n' roll - he was married six times, he invented his own religion so he could divorce one wife and marry another, who he later had beheaded on suspicion of being a witch, another of his wives was also beheaded on his orders. He was a gambler, gourmand, drinker and huntsman. AND he wore a much groovier outfit than Elvis.

Yeah, but he didn't have a winning smile like grouse.

Looks like it was a lot of fun!

And grouse is hot. : )

There's a place called King's Standing in Ashdown Forest, which is quite close me where I live (no sign of Tiggers, though). Apparently it got its name because Henry VIII was so fat he couldn't hunt deer on horse back, so he'd stand there and the deer would be driven past him.
posted by TheDonF 20 November | 13:21
Wow... and to think he (Henry VIII) didn't even have Vegas buffets...
posted by Pips 20 November | 15:01
Thanks so much for the shoutout!!!! Yay!
posted by pieisexactlythree 20 November | 15:32
Yeah, Pips - he was something of a bloater! I probably didn't make it clear in my post, but Ashdown Forest is Pooh's forest - it was where A.A.Milne set the stories (hence the Tigger reference).

I have discovered the resonant frequency of my shower stall. || Chicky! OMG!
