That would appear to be a work day, Mr Tiste. A poorly planned event, if I may say so.
In any case, our establishment of my shiteness in the field of forward planning by no means precludes my involvement today. I should get there about 12, half 12ish, then have to fuck off about 6pm, so only 6 hours, but pulling out is something I only do as a means of contraception. To welsh on arrangements makes you a vagina, and I prefer to think of myself as a dick rather than a twat.

Were the hangovers massive? When I left the Salisbury things were most civilised and it was good to see Cougar, Brood, Tobes, Mezla, Dag and Stone Monkey - a small and select bunch enjoying the sounds of Rock Radio 106.1 and some decent ales. While there debate ranged from the recent student demonstrations, a discussion on teaching today, what could cause an allergy to alcohol and what it is really like in today's civil service. Oh and the quality of proof reading in ICE's and SE's writing. I did not have the camera but the usual suspects were flashing theirs so no doubt we will see something later.
So, not the largest gathering but definitely convivial. Happy Christmas everyone and hope you all got home safely.

The lack of my sparkling presence obviously doomed the entire affair. I take the blame.

I'm still feeling the effects. That was a lot of booze, though I mostly blame the work party afterwards...

The work party where you were leathered before you even got there?!
I was hangover free!! Well, hangover free for me is a headache, munchies, hot sweats and mild nausea. Since I didn't vomit on any public transport, I call personal progress (and 10 pints of shandy!!!!)
Lovely to see yers all. I heard lots of lovely comments from the people who met Centz, I wish I'd had a chance to say hi as well. Most surreal moment was getting embroiled in an argument with Brood, Toby and SM over how to make beef wellington

Cougar, you are right. I'm a shameful mess. Please accept my apologies.

That's the one with the burger in the boot? Or the one with the pate on top of the entire fillet then coated in short crust pastry - like a gigantic pasty or a big sausage roll?

Not big or clever, Cougar. You are a peasant.

Another year, another Manky Meet-Up glad to see most of the usual suspects again. A good time, and possibly far too much alcohol, was had by all.

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

can I have all the recipes, and then I can do an unbiased judgement?

Better yet, you all need to cook me a beef wellington and I shall be the unbiased judge for you! Also, you need to provide it with red wine and a decent pudding...

Nice pics SM although I feel this one is crying out for a caption comp, the look on Mez's face is priceless.

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.
