Malazan BBQ The Fourth

Thanks a lot for the awesome BBQ guys, I had a great time. Bill and Hazel once again put on an awesome spread, and Mrs P and Fid were heroes for continuously serving up food for the ravenous hordes.
Highlights that I recall:
Meeting ano and realising his startling similarity to Nick Frost (and his insistence that this was not true)
Watching people trying to understand macros, and trying to photograph his giant hands
Ano insulting winippeg and mal getting steadily more annoyed
Macros falling into the pond, and mal's subsequent rage - and attempts by all to calm him down.
Mal getting pushed into the pond
Macros following and subsequent pond faceoff
Morgoth forcing people to drink aquavit, and hetans shock when she realised the bottle was empty (she claims its the best drain cleaner she's ever used )
Mezla's face the following morning
and many more, was great to see all the old crowd again, and was nice to see all the manky crowd finally make it down to the bbq. It was great to meet ano and his sister and pathos too, and all the usual crowd who flew him from places far and wide. Thanks brood for dropping me off in Salisbury. Looking forward to seeing some of the pictures, and for next year!

Just got back from london...Thanks everyone i had an awesome time.
about the bed...my bad, i got lost and needed a rest in order to find my way out the house.
The braaing was of the highest quality and the booze was excellent
My snoring has gotten me punched/elbowed several times.
Thanks to the host for letting me spend some time in you lovely home.
i shall def try and make it back next year(if i'm still invited) as i was told i would be banned from the forum if i dont
I'm never drinking again

No, that's a picture of Toby trying to lift Paleman's wallet..., looks like he may have lifted something else by mistake.
The T-shirt is Merlkir's Tenescowri vs Itkovian/Grey swords if i'm not mistaken ?
Now all the friends that you knew in school they used to be so cool, now they just bore you.
Just look at em' now, already pullin' the plow. So quick to take to grain, like some old mule.

Could be at that too.
Sorry mind is still not completely working due to a nagging headache from the heat earlier at work.

Mezla, I do not recall texting you about the toilet incident, but its there in the sent box
Yes everyone, Mac texts me about his toilet incidents.
I just had a terrible day at work. Firstly, i was still very much hungover when my alarm went off at 6am. Then people asked me difficult questions all day, like 'how are you'. Then i had to run for the train home but it was cancelled so i had to get a cab with a very creepy man who sang Country ROads to me all the way home. Why do crazy people always happen to me?
Where are the photos people? I need reminding what happened.
Pathos - did you make it out boozing yesterday? Cos you looked how i felt when i last saw you! After which i had a funny turn in st pancras station and had to lie with my face on a cold bench

Macros is the nickname the ancient Sumerians gave to the Mutant Claw attached to Macros arm. It was worshipped as a dark god that could create tidal waves and earthquakes.

it is unclear as of yet how it happened.
Toby (I think) said I was complaining crica midnight about it, so I'm assuming a drunken stumble from the garage with more beer connected my toe to a stone of some kind

I'll post some pics later today - it's been a long road to recovery this year.
Funniest thing - Macros - "You - you're not fit to be wearing a cowsuit, now take it off and give it to me".
I swear it looked like it was rehearsed - the dude just took it off and gave it to him.
@Macros - perhaps it happened during your dip in the pond. Told you those fish were dangerous
