Have a good time everyone. Hope to see you at the next one.

Fucksocks. Having previously spoken of my delight at getting an East London venue for a meetup so that I can then mock West Londoners as they face a long journey home, it now looks like I'm going to be unable to make it. Because I've got to be in West London.

Oh, the cruel, cruel irony.

Good Heavens. I'll be in London tonight... I'm almost tempted to come to this. But that is a somewhat too scary prospect, especially as I have no one to drag along.

Come! Guests are not compulsory! We are not scary!

Hmmmm I'll see how I feel about it closer to the time.
(and I know guests are not compulsory, but they're a great prop to have / hide behind when faced with large crowds of scary new people)

ClarissaWAM - please go, London meetups are really friendly, good affairs. Honestly, you'll be fine.

As an added bonus to you, I won't be there this time as I have a family birfday commitment that I couldn't get out of.

I expect the usual tales of hangovers in the morning, folks. Please don't disappoint me!

Ooo. I've only just discovered MetaTalk after mainly asking on the green and commenting on the blue - I didn't even know MeFi did meetups.

*hangs head in shame*

Can't make this one, but I'd love to come to one in future. I shall keep my eye out.

Blimey, if TheDonF can't make it, it's definitely worth attending! See you there around 8, trains permitting.

Having originally bowed out, then bowed back in, I can now confirm that I won't be there.

I am cack. That is all.

I'm in my own home, drinking my 18 year old single malt.

Good night people. Good curry, good Kingfisher and good fun.

West London sent its love.

Sadly, ClarissaWAM failed to put in an appearance. Maybe next time eh Clarissa?
