    Sadly Maz-less evening at the pub last night, but good fun nevertheless. Without a heavily pregnant lady to act as a beacon, there could have been stray Biscuits elsewhere in the pub, but we decided that most of them were American tourists. We did say "Stranglewank" quite loudly when anyone hovered in the doorway of the bar, but this to no effect. Luckily we had the bar to ourselves most of the time, so not the same crush as encountered at the Chandos.

    Sorry you couldn't make it Mary, but here are some pics.

    Can someone help me with names please? I know Fernandomando, Genghis Cohen, Rick Westwell, Stan Laurel and Droll Noel, but my memory isn't what it was. Could be the beer I suppose.

    I think StoopyDeGunt and DesCustard are there too.

    I should have got a picture of the strange young lady who turned out to be our very own Newsbiscuit groupie. But more of that from elsewhere anon, no doubt.

    Many apologies for the no-show chaps - after a day spent trawling around London, I was utterly shattered and retired hurt at 4pm with legs like the elephant man. Still, at least they matched the face.

    Looks like it was just as well - how I would have withstood the amassed studmuffins assembled at the Cheshire Cheese in my delicate condition, heaven only knows...

    Looks like a super evening - more match reports please.

    Good to see you all last night.

    For the record, just after Scroat had left with the camera, some bloke came in claiming to be JOF. We didn't take any nonsense from him, just a couple of pints.

    Great fun, even in my slightly subdued already-hungover state.
    Thanks to all for coming along, and sorry to miss Miss Evans - next time, Maz.

    Highlights for me were Fernando and I coyly glancing and winking at each other for five minutes in a dark alley until we finally gave in and recognised each other, the actual real groupie, and the strange bloke who came along late and pretended to be John O'Farrell. Bought his round, though, bless him.

    Lovely to meet everyone, what an absolutely great bunch of blokes you are.

    Quote of the night: "They're quite liberal, really". :-)

    There really was a groupie. A flame haired short young lady who was ordering a drink in the Cheshire Bar responded well when accosted with the, by then mandatory, chant of 'NEWSBISCUIT'. She reponded along the lines of 'I love newsbiscuit'. We are, indeed, famous beyond our own comprehension.

    Great to meet up with everyone, either again or for the first time. Not that I make a habit of meeting strange men in alleyways in London you understand...

    Was indeed a splendid evening, and very nice of JOF to drop by. We must do it again the next time Rick gets married and goes on tour.

    Turns out darkbill is rikkor. Weird, huh.

    Aah, Saltire, so it was you. I should warn you that when I met Mary last year, she fell pregnant shortly afterwards. When we all went to Chandos my wife went into labour the next morning.
    I'm afraid I was very drunk at the time, and I don't think I have another 3 minutes to spare...

    It was great to see you all last night.

    But can you take my picture down? I never realised I was such a walrus! I'm going on a diet - after I've finished this ice cream

    Oh, and another thing. Someone is using "superannuated floorwalker" without permission. Not thinking of anyone in particular, but if someone is driven to suicide here, I cannot accept total responsibility if my cunning stunt tags are employed by reckless, unskilled typing fingers.

    Des is about 30 years younger than I expected. Unless he hired a body double for the evening.

    The really scary thing is you all look so NORMAL.

    I don't know what I imagined, but I'm shocked, nay stunned by Genghis. The minds-eye had conjured someone much (much!) older - you can't even be more than 25 surely?

    I've got a suspicion that, in some clandestine agreement reached on the night, Scroat has nabbed these shots off some open facebook account, passing them off as Biscuiteers...

    Yes, you do look very young, Mr Cohen. You have very nice teeth, too. I hope you clean them for the full two minutes. I thought Mr Custard was older and grumpier than he obviously is, too. Bless us all.

    Rikkor,

    The next booze up is going to be at your place.

    But how will we recognise you, among all the other baseball cap wearing, plaid jacketed johns at the Truck Fellas lapdancing club?

    It was great to meet up with fellow biscuits for a drink, and thanks to Rick for causing it and Mando for the venue and the Boss for turning up and the groupie for being nice to us. She wants more stories about cats that she can put on the BBC site. That was Dave in the pic by the way; he's quite old and almost as grumpy as me. Now piss off and leave me alone.
