All are welcome to come along, but please can you let me know by the 23rd November either by email ian@moneyam.com or post on this thread you are coming.

All set for this evening (well as ready as I can be) - I have told my wife that if I do not get off the train I am supposed to return on tomorrow lunchtime, she is to go to the police straight away and to send out a search party for me :)

Very sadly....... I'll still be able to make this meal but as I am on a teetotal christmas I will be the quiet one sipping water in the corner being a humbug :-)

Ian, may i suggest to let her know the most probable place to look first would be the lapdancing club, if that fails, the casino, if that fails god knows where you will be:-)
Bully, im getting a lift in, so will not be tee total , but Steph will, oh and its usually so much fun getting her intoxicated isnt it:-)

Hope you all have a great day today.

Blimey, no-one told me Roofie was drinking, I'll stay at home ;)

pt,

you are a wise man :)

Dil - all the more fun having you on autodial :P

And Ian - the trick is to ask the very nice man in the red coat to wake you up with a coffee ... and a kiss if you strike lucky :)

PTholden, i was going to be chasing you too:-)

Oi choccie ... has Mike played my xmas greeting yet ?

Harlosh!!!!!

Where's a bit of protection when you need him??

Guess he must have, Dil - why else would he be on the wagon :)

You don't need me Peter. I'm sure you're more than capable on your own :-))

Sounds like a wild party - have a great time!

Have fun at the dinner tonight you lot! Wish I could
have made it but have a great time all :-))

Off to a good start.

No room at the inn for Martini and Mikey.
It's gonna be a starry, starry night ;)

Choccie, theres always the benches in piccadilly, i will put a few blankets in the car just in case :-)

Oh yeah ucking hysteryical 7 Dom Simpsons and no one to dance with eh ... sounds like a billy no mates to me :-)

My apologies he usually gets an instant response but one of the Ebbooo 5's missusses had a fortieth today (old enuff to be my mother) and I had to attend.

Any videos of me on Yootube dancing on tables cannot be verified and you aint got the address anyway :-)

Hope you all had as a good a days as we did .... happy xmas Dominic
