Look at that.....back in time for the Antiques Roadshow!!!
Didn't stay long, but enough to have a good time. It somehow felt like the best one yet, for me anyway!
Obviously didn't see what a pit of decadence it would eventually turn into, but people were more concentrated towards the bar end, and so I decided to set up camp there, so much easier ?
Saw the barmaid doodling at one point, which made me question my conversational skills, but to those I briefly chatted with, it was great!
Dunover his usual excellent self, oh and how we laughed at Brexit! Though when the Irish singer was deployed, we had to resort to smoke signals and polite nodding as it got so loud!
But still, a nice little occasion full of great characters. Briefly met Gonso Fonso, a very friendly, affable chap, as well as a quick stop & chat with Kasinoking, Webzcas and being greeted by the divine Jelena (it's ok, the missus won't see this)
And of course a massive thankyou to Bryan for organizing the event and providing the refreshments and merriment, to make the event what it is. He's the man ?
So with that cameo out of the way, all I can do is heartily recommend members attend when they can, if they so desire. It's a nice atmosphere and comprised of great people!
Also averted getting pissed after two and looking like the lightweight pussy I am, but to those that wish to partake, the drinks are on the house. Still not sure why I felt the need to pat Kasinoking's belly in a rare tactile moment, akin only to slapping a bald person's head repeatedly, but the icing on the cake is that he didn't clump me one before onlookers ?
Now....let's see how much Bertie gets for hawking his grandfather's watch, shall we?
