    I got home without a hitch - didn't even get lost like I usually do! Hurrah! Unfortunately for my already-rather-inebriated self, there was some drinking taking place at home which I got dragged into. Blast.

    Good to see so many people at the Morpeth, and to meet the new people! Hello! Sorry I forgot your real names!

    Special announcement: As I'm in the smoke Friday night (Orbital gig at Brixton), I might make an appearance at the Morpeth. Unless everyone decides to find another pub/run and hide/join AA........?

    Who's going to be in Friday then?
    And is the food any good there?

    Shame on you regulars. You haven't taken him to the Millbank Spice yet... :?

    "Tradition dictates that on a more successful beer filled night at the 'peth said SCR'ers fall out of the pub and are carried by their bikes (they're not riding them see..) over to the Millbank Spice for curry to help soak the alcohol and continue said successful (now curry filled) night."

    Beer and curry, a combination so awesome I am humbled by it! :P
    Food Chain number = 4

    I'm in London of a Friday night (FNRs excepted) more rarely than a very rare thing. So they haven't had a chance....

    Nod - kinda shouldn't have gone really Morpeth let alone Curry, hence why I've been off ill all week... My state went rapidly downhill from Saturday onwards and not in a good way.

    No scalps at all :(

    Edit: Oh and thanks for birthday greets :)

    ooh ooh I'd like to come to London again sometime for drinkies.

    No idea when though. I am quite sure you would all shun me anyway given that my bike has not taken me to work for nearly 6 months now.......
    Emerging from under a big black cloud. All help welcome

    There'll be no shunning from me, Linds. There have been questions down the Morpeth lately of whether I actually do ride a bike and am not just some interloper ;)
