Re: British Food & Ale evening at The Pie Shop

Thanks to Mike, Astrid, Bob and his wimmin and Regula and her wimmin from the Pie Shop. And the lovely Sophie, who looked related to M & A but wasn't. Who is she related to? Hmmm...

Several collegues popped in for a brief dinner break before heading back to the office and were totally down to have to return. I'd like to pass on their thanks to the friendly faces who looked after them and made them realise Spiffing Ales really are spiffing. The cheese was enjoyed today And yes, Stephanwolf, D & G leap-frog Missoni girl for eye-candy

Did anyone else notice the 'asparagus' effect after the K3? Not an altogether unpleasant experience!

Thanks to those who subbed at Kaffee Schnapps afterwards; made me realise how awful Swiss beer is after the Spiffing stuff.

Re: British Food & Ale evening at The Pie Shop

Ok. Here are the pics from the night that I took. If anyone would like the high resolution ones let me know and I would be happy to make them public on Flickr so that you are able to download whichever size that you like. Also, if anyone would like me to take the photos of them off, let me know

Re: British Food & Ale evening at The Pie Shop

Hi Natasha, thanks for the super pics.
If anyone who knows anyone has lots of time this rainy Sunday morning, and feels so inclined, I would love it if they could put a few EF Pseudonyms to some of the faces for me. I would be so grateful I might even give you a sniff of the last bit of Shropshire Blue which I managed to acquire at the Ploughman's Lunch Do at the Beer Factory in Rapperswil yesterday. A super afternoon and evening by the way. Thanks Mike.

Re: British Food & Ale evening at The Pie Shop

Hiya, I was going to do that, but was a bit tentative as I was not sure everyone was happy with that. You know, the general privacy stuff

Perhaps we can give it until tomorrow until everyone has has a chance to see them?

I have no problem with it though. I am in the 17th photo, looking off into the distance. Please note that my attire is incredibly dainty by my standards. Normally I wear loud and obnoxious t-shirts, as these are more aligned with my mouth

Re: British Food & Ale evening at The Pie Shop

Thanks for the reply. Sutter gave me a few via PM. I can appreciate that not everyone might want it on the site. You never know who might be looking in...

Re: British Food & Ale evening at The Pie Shop

Thinking ahead, I used a photo stand in. I managed to find someone much older, balder, and fatter than me to pose for that one.

Now I am really confused. The pic that Sutter said was you, was tall, dark handsome - you know, rather like George Clooney in that Nespresso ad, but even more so. Don't tell me Sutter has been leading me up the garden path.
