Great evening, and so good to meet the Icons of this board, in person.
Malta is looking enticing in February...........
3 quid a shot is dangerous, lets do it again soon!

Good morning. Thanks MCS? for organising another great do.^ Sorry I missed some of you who had left before I got there and that I only managed a quick 'hello' to Sunrisegirl who disappeared whilst I was at the bar. Hope everyone got home OK -especially the attendee (shall we say a little **ssed) who left the restaurant to find a cash machine and hadn't returned by the time I left.

What a superb Do! Excellently organised by MCS? ^
Drinks in the S&L were a nice primer, especially £3 cocktails until 8pm. MCS? particularly enjoyed those. This was then followed by the slightly (very!) grubby, but thoroughly enjoyable Wong Kei's. I actually thought the food was great.
Further debauchery then ensued as we hit Balans and managed to conjure up a couple of bottles of Veuve Cliquot. The rest of the night is a bit of a blur, but I'm not feeling too bad, surprisingly, thsi morning!
Now, I appear to be in possession of a graduation photo of MCS?. The little white angel on my right shoulder is telling me to give it back. The little red devil is suggesting I auction it to the highest bidder. Ooooohhhh, I wonder which way I'll drop?

It was a good Dooby Do! Nice to meet everyone (again). Thanks to MCS? for organising! ^
The Specialist, I can see your profile now. So that's what you get for doing it four times a week.
quite contrary, we never did see that p*ss artist again for the rest of the night. I hope he's not sleeping it off in some cell somewhere at HM's pleasure!

I'm not surprised! 
Sorry I had to duck out early - would have loved to have come for dinner, but couldn't really eat so ......
And quitecontrary, sorry to miss chatting with you but wanted to disappear quitely while the merry host wasn't watching - we'll have to catch up next time.
Thanks again MCS? for organising yet another great Do ^

MCS?, I know exactly how you feel...
I'm now nursing my hangover with coffee and the Hoxton breakfast in my room. Not having to get up until 10 was a big help. Those of you who had to go to work this morning have my heartfelt sympathy.
Nevertheless, it was a cracking Do! Great to meet some new faces and of course to see the old ones again. Wong Kei was... an experience. The food was excellent, but I haven't seen such dodgy service in a good long while.
Anyway, we really must do this again sometime - but not so soon, please.
Oh, and krug, I think it was typical who was considering organising a Dubai DO - but let's give him time to get down there and get settled first, shall we?
