Waterloo meet report

[ChrisE]

Well, for all those that couldn't make it, a fine time was had by all. About 7 turned up and coincidently that was the average number of pints sunk per person by my reckoning. As you'd expect the most colossal load of old bollocks was spoken, some of it even related to sailing. Young tcm came along to keep the petrolhead side up and my god that man can talk for England, hardly got a word in meself.

I had to wimp out at 9:15 to catch train home but the party still seemed to be in full swing then.

Sorry about delay in reporting, MrsE ricked her back yesterday and I've been busy attending her every need.

Glad you had a good time.

Sorry to read that Mrs E has hurt her back, and hope that it gets better quickly. Time to give up swinging from the chandeliers, maybe?

I arrived late, to find everyone already slumped around the bar. Parahandy clearly and succintly explained how and why the UK govt will go bust, possibly as early as next Friday afternoon. After six pints, jimi decided to leave the country and scupper his boat. To assist the process, ChrisEnstone kindly provided him with some useless old charts of Ireland. A troupe of raving sword-dancing loonies arrived outside the pub, possibly to celebrate jimi's departure or to take revenge for Masterofnone's numerous tales of wanton damage around the UK coastline. Fortunately the sword loonies weren't allowed in the bar, but Chris Enstone decided to run off anyway.

Thanks for enquiring about state of MrsE, fortunately it is only a muscle thnig rather than structural so she should be in fighting form within a week. Chandelier swinging? More like chandelier cleaning! We've got a dinner party for 14 this weekend, so I've been kept busy cleaning, cooking, shopping and all the other stuff. Will be cooking a 20lb turkey on Saturday, which will be first.

Cleaning the kitchen floor should be first, cos you can just pick up anyfink you drop without giving yer guests salmonella

[ChrisE]

Salmonella is the second course, topped off with a bit of brandy butter with a 2002 Gerweitztraminer to drink with it. Thought I'd round the whole off with e coli pie with a nice Sauternes to finish.

See, there you go with your fancy ailments when you know its all contained in your staple diet of Fray Bentos and conny milk and are probably imune to such irritations.

Could you make it 15 ? I just happen to be free, with no plans and an appetite.

Love to invite you but judging from your address I wouldn't want to put you to the inconvience of travelling from Somerset.






In other words, f**k off.

Did anyone spot the lack of posts yesterday by a prolific member of this forum who also attended this event? I have my suspicions that said person fell asleep on the train home and ended up spending the night in some sidings only to then be arrested by British Transport Police for vagrancy.

[masterofnone]

I'm pleased your body and mental faculties were still functioning, I got carried home by swmbo, awoke with an extremely thick head and little recollection of what occured; other than the adrenalin rush from meeting the comic book heroes of this forum in the flesh.
I was tempted to post to ask advice on hangover remedies, but couldn't look at bright lights at the time.
Nice to meet you gentlemen, I'll get a stock of anadin just in case we meet again.

Novice!

I could see you were a total novice at foum gatherings: in common with most if not all forumites your SWMBO
1) is very pleasant
2) drank a bit less than you did
3) sat several people away from you, out of prodding/shaddup range
4) grassed you up very badly indeed

If I were a brave man, I'd have words with her. Now what about the story of flying lessons and aeroplanes, who rules the roost?

Ah, but see at least you only got my version, not her blimmin "asides"

Re: Novice!

Good night's entertainment.
Sorry, We had to leave early, I don't normally get the next round in whilst just starting the previous one.
Mr. chris is a good judge of character,"Young tcm came along to keep the petrolhead side up and my god that man can talk for England, hardly got a word in meself".

Re: chris enstone\'s mate

Tsk, you really are showing your lack of experience in these matters.

Anyone should have been able to tell that the bloke in the pub wasn't actually Chris Enstone. It was his much smarter, more pleasant but more reticent mate, also called Chris. I mean, the bloke in the pub knew sod all about buttmeister, and that bloke in the pub was very bright too, spoke nicely, all pleasant manners, wore a nice non-raggie suit, he also had a powerboat, and wasn't in the least bit Lymington in-bred raggified. So, he obviously wasn't and simply couldn't have been the real Chris Enstone.

The time lag of a whole day also explains why no posts too, see? Cos the bright bloke in the pub obv hardly ever goes to pubs and it tookim a whole day to sober up and then take a call from real Chris Enstone, but all he remebers is that er "tcm talked a lot" which is a bit generic, really, innit? In desperation Chris Enstone is just making up general pub stuff - didn't name anyone cept me, see?

You have to admit, though the impersonator bloke in the pub did quite well though, giving jimi some crappy old charts and so on. But whenever anyone started talking about boats ooh well, he had to run of to the loo. Hmm.

Re: chris enstone\'s mate

need I say more? apart from the sobering up bit which both Chris's are very good at. I have to say that we are a bit like the two Nigel Mansells one who could drive an F1 like a god and the other who gave interviews after the race. But enough of me (us?)

On another point (completely NB - non-birdy), I've found that going for a pee on a fast moving southbound train out of Waterloo is good practice for balance on a bucking foredeck.

Twas a good evening MoN's missus had the good sense to distance herself from him. And the amount of whisky young jimi gave me for a few crappy old charts makes the Buttmaster in me think that there might be a good wheeze here a goin' begging. Anyone want a slightly folded, ripped OS map of Hampshire?
