Blimey looks like Orose is about to chunder

Got home fine, had a stinking lack of hangover this morning (my 2nd sober Xmas do this year, I'll get arrested if it happens a third time). Good to meet you all, I thought the band were pretty good too, and the restaurant was great. Thanks for organising, Diz! You can't turn down the volume on drums I'm afraid...

PS after getting most confused how everyone seemed to know how long I'd been on t'forum, I took a look at the Wayback Machine and found my first post in thread no 43 in June 2000. Er, okay, maybe I have been here a while. (2003 was the launch of the fancy-looking forum if you really want to know, when we all had to re-register.)
