    I think it's all these miles ITB has been putting in, what he calls 'in the area' is a bit warped compared to the rest of us....!

    Nice to see some many new & old faces tonight including TN non SCR friend "outsider" :D I hope you ladies made it to your final destination and I agree there is a good case for an SCR salsa night :roll:

    I'm happy to report I had my arse slapped several times this evening and no not by GT, by random drunken women (non SCRers) in the Morpeth Arms: :lol:

    There are few thing I love more in the world than beer but drunken office 'ladies' is def one of them :lol:

    Quick DDD is your bike still okay :P - tee hee nice bike buddy :wink:

    Good to see faces old and new. Apologies for all the p*sstaking but it was just so much fun and you all take it so well!

    Friend and I did not make it to dancing. After being told to leave pub, we left to find it was hissing it down and couldn't really be arsed. So we got as far as the late night shop where we bought, er, milk for a cup of tea. Sewinman accompanied us thus far without falling on anyone which was encouraging considering the amount of alcohol that had been imbibed by all....

    Excellent turnout - good to meet so many people. Jolly good evening as far as I remember, despite malfunctioning autopilot on trip home - several manual interventions required to avoid ending up in Hayes or somewhere. It must have been raining as my shoes are wet this morning. Either that or I had a shower and forgot to take them off. :?

    Was planning to head off to RP this morning. Fortunately it's just too wet. :)

    No more drinking for me until after the Dragon Ride...

    Oh the shame :oops:

    SCRers are truly an awesome bunch but there's not an ounce of will power amongst them :lol: the summer party is going to be fun. :wink:

    DDD still had his Kuota to ride home after so I'd say, probably, yes.

    Well, he does check its still there every 30 seconds (minimum). Was glad I parked my steed next to it (taking care not to go too close) as I knew he'd be looking out for the Kona at the same time :lol:

    Well it's interesting to put some faces to some names. But I'm slightly disturbed that I discussed nipples with one of those guys. :shock:

    From the pub it looked just like two dudes standing over my bike....
    I didn't realise it was you two.
