We should have some space set aside for us and to keep us away from the normal folk

This is in the wilds of zone 4 Nearest station is the DLR Woolwich Arsenal, and this is also served by Thameslink (from St Pancras, Blackfriars, and London Bridge) and Southeastern (from London Cannon Street)

There won't be any food provided as part of the Do, but the bar does have a bar snacks and food menu which you can order from if you need some nibbles.

I declare the drinks open. As said. In the main doors and left by the Christmas tree. I'm in jeans and a jazzy jumper.

Indeed he is, hopefully His Excellency has not forgotten the Ambassadorial Ferrero Rocher 🤞🏻

Have a great night, stay safe and may your hangovers be gentle 🍻🥂

Really sorry to be a no show tonight. Mrs Wilsnunn got contacted by T&T so I decided not to head out and keep on the safer side of things. Hope fun was had by all and I look forward to being able to make the next such drinks.

Rats! 🐀🐀

I was on a client site until past 7pm and this completely slipped my mind so I missed it

Maybe third time lucky next year. I hope everyone who attended had a great time and a safe journey home.

I hope you guys have had/are having a great time. I’m always in the US over the ‘holiday’ period so too far away to make the Christmas do. Knowing a couple of the characters in attendance tonight I’m sure you’ve had a good laugh … but I fear the hangovers won’t be as gentle as I’d hoped.

Jenny and I are about to enjoy a little happy hour at home this afternoon so we don’t feel too left out.

Feliz navidad 🥂🍻

My mate Nigel....
I worked for Ferrero in the 90s, when this ad was current.

Our masters in Italy and Luxembourg were delighted at the sky-high viewer recognition figures; no-one dared tell them the reason why...

I also remember a night-club in Manchester, where the DJ sampled the "spoiling us" line in the middle of a set too!

Thanks to everyone that came last night. It was a small but good do. Also enhanced by the first FT Do dog.

So sorry to have missed this. Work ran late, too late to arrive in time. Glad all had a good time!
