    Yarp, we're still on for this weekend. I suggest we hit that tapas place around 6:30-7ish for food, then go from there.

    TFL suggests that for us at least, the quickest route from Queens Park is the Bakerloo to Elephant & Castle followed by the Northern Line to Clapham Common. Any other Northerners heading down by a similar route?

    I'll PM you my mobile number and a link to a suitable mugshot so you can ring/find us on the night. I'll likely also be wearing a bright orange t-shirt with a pumpkin design on it, making me even more visible...

    I'll be in touch with you Fysh and JackBBadd if we go, transport wise. I'm clueless at it! Will be good, as we had to leave the last one early.

    That tapas place is _literally_ beside Clapham Common tube. I was stood very close when I was watching the fireworks. We say 6:45pm at Carmen Tapas so? Any idea of numbers? If there's a big group mightn't be a bad idea to reserve a table? Dunno...:confused: Can we get a show of definite hands? I'm in fo' shizzle.

    So for the Tapas 6:45 at Carmen Tapas which is here. It's right beside Clapham Common tube station: come out of the station and Bam! there it is.

    Then, for ease, should we say the Belle Vue which is pretty close to the tapas place from 9:30 (might be there earlier...don't know how long dinner will take)? We can make an agreement to stay there til 10:30 at least, but if anyone plans on coming after that time maybe to double check our location, just in case? Does that sound like a potential arrangement?

    I live not so far from Clapham, so I'll check this immediately before I leave around 6:15pm, so PM me if anyone needs a phone number or further directions! :)

    Went to the Royal Oak (?) down the road near Calpham North.

    I hit the road around half one; drunkenly thinking id make a tube or bus or something.

    I got home. Thats the main thing.

    Mmm...Calpol...think that conversation has made an impact... :pac:

    The rest of us stuck around til we felt obliged to leave after 2 sometime... D-Generate took on the persona of a kindly gentleman and escorted Dr.Giggles and me to our chariots. D-Generate and I were even alone for a while waiting for my bus and we both survived the ordeal. And so did everyone else around us. Success!

    Good lord, either the boozemagic took effect or you must have finally done something about that sexual tension. One way or another, I suspect congratulations are due to all involved for having survived ;)

    If she were evil, she'd be a booze-witch, surely?

    No, this is how rumours start:
    "I heard that after she snuck off for a quickie with D-Generate (who was forced to wear a Zack Morris mask for the duration) she killed a hobo just to steal his naggin of vodka".

    I mean, come on, if you're going to start a rumour it has to be a good one...although it does occur to me you probably wouldn't to start that kind of rumour about yourself. In which case please disregard the preceding paragraph.
