Due to that whole not living in london any more thing, I haven't really put any thought into this, but I've just had an email from the morpeth...

Xmas dates are filling up fast and I thought I had better ask if you wanted to do something with the cycle group again this year?

I currently have the evening of Friday the 9th and 16th available for The Spying Room.

Over to you.

    LiT!!!! Where have you been/gone - it seems like forever since we last crossed swords!?!??!?!? :lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Hope you are all well and sunshiney, how's the Spitfire?

    PS: Won't do the Xmas thing, I like my "Man of Mystery" anonymity. Plus I'm a) socially inept and b) chronically shy :oops: (honest, it's true).
    It's just a hill. Get over it.

    Haha! I'm great thanks, a much happier bunny than I've been in many a year.

    Met a new bloke, left work in April, left London in May, went on a gratuitously long holiday, and started an MSc in Anthropology in September, still not working and loving every minute. Still cycle, but not as much as I used to.

    Spitfire is well, being dismantled for winter I gather.

    Yeah but Greg T hasn't said he's coming yet ;-)

    I shall check these dates tomorrow and see which one means I'll be closest to the 'peth. Not that anywhere in London is really that far away from it!

    I know! Ms DDD is about ready to pop (3 weeks), her belly button has gone from innie to outy. Her boobs are sweet damn but I can't touch them. I haven't had any since March/April (and I was a 3/4 times a week man, that's a hard come down!).

    I'm geek enough to quietly be happy with knowing that in another reality LiT and I got it on, I rocked her World and she liked it.

    Congrats LiT and about time! When the time comes let us know when you're duffed.

    Bugger bugger bugger, looks like both dates are out for me. Really don't want to miss the game on the 9th and 16th is day after Mrs birthday and night before a flight to south of france.

    Are these the only two dates under consideration?

    Shouldn't someone do a poll? We could always do an unofficial party on the losing date for those who can't make the winner?
