Does that bunch of revellers expect us to believe they got up to no mischief??. Mmmmm... I wonder how many clinking handbags were in the Priness Louise... a CAG tradition.

Not one single clinking handbag, I'll have you know, madam!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

... They'd transferred the booze into plastic bottles.

[The GodMother]

LOL well thats a good idea. I must get some plastic bottles.

Not a one. The most ridiculous layout of a pub I've ever seen.

 

we still dont know who the special guest was.

 

Well Olive's face was a picture when the cookie monster appeared.

 

Only just got home, left caro at 3.15 missed bus and had to wait 2 hours

 

 

But apart from that, had a really good evening was great to meet new peeps

oh sg sorry for asking why you where knitting with cocktail sticks

and who ate my cream cakes

 

Well I had one at 5am cos I couldn't sleep for some reason. I believe Termi may have something to do with the rest of them. Breakfast was very welcome though thanks Termi.

 

First time I've been away on a CAG meet and come home with a full bottle of bacardi, seal in tact. Thanks Bookie.

 

Tilly hasn't mentioned her borrowers size kitchen which she is considering moving into on a permanent basis. I've never seen anyone so excited to use a dishwasher.

 

Thanks for suggesting the meet Tills and keeping me in stitches. Bummer about the bus.

 

Lovely to meet some new caggers, including london (VERY interesting convo on gardening ), Olive as lovely in person as she is on site, and Photoman (I missed your revelation at the time but heard about it later ROFLMAO ).

[caro]

BTW Bookie, I didn't miss that crack about Primark!! As if!

[photoman]

Hi all.

 

It was great to met everyone, and put faces to names.

 

Sounds like some of you went on to cause mayhem into the early hours after I'd left, and were only on your best behaviour whilst I was about ?

 

..... so the impression I was left with was how nice and respectable a bunch you all were ?

 

I had a Birthday party I had to dash off to, so sorry I couldn't hang around...... mind you, probably just as well by the sounds of things !!

 

Hope you all had a great time afterwards, and that you've still left some pubs and bars of London that will allow you all back in ?

 

Bestest

 

PM

[Bookworm]

Not a problem PM, we all gave our name as Photoman to the police, they'll never suss it out.

The Princess Louise is a dreadful layout, I certainly haven't been in a place like it - and I've been in lots of bars and pubs in my time (ex boyfriend used to sell wine and beer to places in London....) wouldn't choose it again as a meeting place.

 

Shakespeares Head was good though, being Weatherspoons food was okay, their fish and chips is very good value, its £3.10 in our local one for the afternoon meal with a cuppa... might have that today as I am still off with this stupid cold - brains slowly returning to normal after being like cotton wool for the last four or five days.

 

Got back home okay, last bus is 5 past midnight but got the one before that... didn't particularly want to get a cab (although cab at station is better than most).

 

Maybe we should have a meeting round about Easter somwhere in London, (NOT the PL....)

[Bookworm]

Oh yes, forgot to say it took us over 2 hours to get back from Holborn to outside Croydon. Sod that, next time, it will be Diet Coke without added stuff and I'll take my car and be home in 1/2 hr, no amount of alcohol is worth that kind of waste of time!

[london NW]

Yes, gardening is my speciality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately it is too damn cold to grow anything exotic in this country but when I get my greenhouse up and running, (if I ever get a garden), then will pay a visit to you Olives on my way over to Holland. Shhhhhhhhhhh say no more. hahahaha.

 

Thanks guys for waiting at the PL and yes a very strange layout indeedy. Good job I headed straight for the booth were the alcholics were!!!!!!!!!

OMG let us not wait until Easter, that was the first time I had been out in ages. I may have been sectioned again by the time you have the next meeting so make it quick.

No not this time, maybe he will next time when he gets to know peeps a bit better

[Lula]

M TM was there? thought he had moved on?

[london NW]

I know Tills I am a bit of a devil, was just on my best behaviour this time, but beware next time I will let my guard down, hehehe. I think we should go somewhere next time and have a bit of a sing-a-long, like karioke. What do you think?

[**Tilly**]

LOL Nw now there's an idea a karioke cag meet

[Bookworm]

Oh dear lord. *Bookie gets VERY worried*

[tiglet]

She moves around the forums helping people daily.

[caro]

Shame you didn't make it Lula.

 

Hope you got on ok at the hospital today. My DD broke her arm about 3 weeks ago too but only has a sling and no plaster.
