Essex YACF Christmas do

[Oscar's dad]

Sterling effort made by OD for this little outing, he really excelled himself.

And it was smashing to meet up with the gang. Sorry to hear about the various travel woes at the end of the evening.

I clocked up 62 miles for the day.

Not a problem.  Let's not forget bobb for the route / venue research.

Indeed.

Although I was mainly referring to your dedicated commitment in the silliness department.

Happy to help 

Although to be fair, the group didn't need much encouragement from me.

We will re-convene in mid-January.

Will you be wearing your grease-streaked crotchless Santa trousers then though?

Dirty Santa.

Mr O - no I won't as they went in the bin.  They were too dirty on a number of counts -shame 

Madam fboab - I wouldn't be sniggering if I was you.  Should I haul one of Mr O's pictures off his Picasa page and post it here for all to see?  I know what actually happened was quite innocent.  However, the picture I am thinking off is open to MASSIVE misinterpretation!  In this case the camera has lied - quite a lot 

[Wowbagger]

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it gives the appearance, in the thumbnail at least, that I've got a pint of Guinness in my hand. The camera certainly did lie.

That could be the picture I'm thinking of.  Two comments: it was quite a large pint, I never know you liked Guinness so much.

This photo was taken 5 minutes ago in Essex! Go the Snow!

U-S-A!

It's fab out there.  Me un Oaky have been to the S&C.

You what?! Lucky f*ckers. Some of us have office bound jobs to attend to. By the time I get out it'll have started to rain and all will be grey slush.

No, it was a mercy mission, we derived no pleasure from it.  We just wanted to ensure they weren't snowed in.  If they had been we would have stayed with them to make sure they were OK, we would have stayed for days if required (or until the beer ran out)

We have just formed the Essex Pub Rescue Brigade.  I think you'll agree we are totally selfless.  People get the Nobel Peace Prize for less.  Look at that Obama Bin Laden chap or whatever he's called, you know, the chap that lives in the big white house and runs the world.  He got the prize for bugger all.

Exactly, the feeling has only just now returned to my fingers.  The things we do for charitable reasons.

Perhaps you could bring beer to those who are unable to get to a pub...

Good idea.  We'd have to have a meeting (in the pub) to discuss this.  With all this snow about we'd need to conduct a risk assessment first (cycle to lots of different pubs and see if we survived - could take weeks)

As you can see below, it was hard work.

This was just after selflessly verifying that all was well at the S&C:-
