Man, that was a scream. I had to bail early due to a family-related call pertaining to my busy day today, but even so...

Outstanding organisation skillz on the part of Marky as usual. Spent a good couple of hours geeking at the bar with Yak and Giles. Bumped into The Bogster intermittently, and the fabulous Ladybird. Saw lots of other faces I recognised and abjectly failed to put names (or YY ids') to. Sorry 'bout that.

Met Betamax (top feller) and That Guy with him who's name I did know and Becks has made me forget. The t-shirt idea for next time is a winner I think: On the front, "I'm XXXXX" (e.g. Istar) followed by "Who the fuck are you?". Great introduction, works brilliantly in the pictures after for remembering names+faces.

Opened me little welcome pack on the train back. Awesome. Worn me t-shirt all day today.

Roll on the next!

Expensive to do 'cos you'd need a screen per name (OK, maybe a screen per 4 or 5 - but stilll..)

Or you could just do a 'template t-shirt' and then use these...

Lots of fun

And serious props to Markie for a nice organisation!

The only downer was the layout of the back of the pub, where everyone was packed into a kinda tight space. Oh, and the feeding frenzy when the curry came out

- ok, that wasn't too bad but I got the feeling, from some things I heard upstairs, that the chicken curry ran out too soon

But it was great to see everyone again, even if not for very long in some cases, and nice to meet some new people (although I seemed to have creeped out Amy by knowing her name when someone other than her told it to me. Or maybe I just creeped her out because, well, I tend to do that to girls

)

But it was great and I'm looking forward to the May one (although I hope we get to use the room upstairs as well for that

)

Here are some of my photos.

I took loads, but it seems my camera doesn't really like taking photos in the dark without a flash.

Here's some of Bicycle City itself...

I think (& I'm sure Markie will be along to confirm/deny) that we not only have the downstairs & upstairs bit, but also the function room above the pub (where the band was playing)

Indeed ... what we have basically been offered is ... THE PUB! Thats downstairs ... the ajoining bar up a level (although general public we still use this area shoudl they be able to get in) and the function room upstairs ...

Havn't long gotten back, just chilled out with a cuppa and settled down to record my adventures.

Bloody excellent meet, but then I expected no less. Markie is back, as Prophesised long ago in a tiny curry house somewhere in Manchester

Highlights of the weekend included:

Amy hunting me for hours with a black marker.

Meeting some more of the 'Softies and becoming my sinister alter-ego "The Revealer" to facilitate meeting and greeting.

Bog.

Dead Rising and the throaty cackles it caused. Horseypants man comes for you piggies! Ahahahah!

Somone sabotaged my curry plate so I ended up with a crotchful of chicken and rice. Which I still ate, you bastards, so fuck you.

Negotiating the KongMan style staircase at the alleged hotel- it was exactly the same whether drunk or sober.

Waking up in the morning and realising that not only had my room window been wide open all night, but that there was a ladder propped up against it too. After checking my gear (all intact) I decided not to worry about it.

Almost getting StuB and myself crushed under a double decker bus on the way to the train station.

And many others too numerous to mention. Until later.

Oh you had that room did you? I noticed the ladder when parking my car. I guess yours was the room that conforms to fire-safety regulations

I was amused by the shit-mincer attached to my toilet (a white box behind the toilet that macerates the caca allowing it to go down a normal waste pipe - probably explains the blocked shower tray!). I wanted to feed it things to see what happened to them

Whereas I got "Mayhem", an anarchy symbol and boobies!
