Sorry, been trying to persuade a friend to come but she won't. I can't get there for 10, but can I still come?

I'm sorry - I came, I saw, hung about for a bit, ran away. All places seemed to be taken and couldn't tell who was who. Too shy to walk around the pub asking random strangers if they were EF members and begging a corner of their table. Won't come alone next time, or build up enough bottle to get beyond just getting there - or will follow advice of other EFers, turn up early to meet people if you're a newbie

Has LiB got over the fact he lost yet?
I had a great time and look forward to the next one which I've been informed should be end of March.

Good morning/afternoon all
Indeed a very big thank you to Ian and the crew for a lovely breakfast and pubquiz ( i believe our table won woot woot !  )
I have met some lovely people that day, such as Mimi,Mini Mimi,Chatdechocolat and co (who traveled all the way from Neuchatel ), Mopp,Vladimir and his family etc.. great turnout for the event. | Quote: | |  | | | I'm sorry - I came, I saw, hung about for a bit, ran away.

You didn't notice the funny looking bunch on your right hand side when you came in?
We had a few more newbies this time, one of them texted me before she came in so picked them up at the door.
Hope to see you at the next event, the other team could have used you at the pub quiz since they lost and all that | Quote: | |  | | | Just got home...must say I had a blast...it was fun hanging out with you guys, you're a nutty bunch but I still got love for you. Thanks to Ian for organising the wonderful spread. Mimi, I'm gonna whoop your butt next time in the quiz . | | | | | Likewize Island Girl, looking forward to see you lot again at the Kfc event.
Great to finaly meet the lead singer of Skunk Anansie, and your boyfriend,the star from Right Said Fred | Quote: | |  | | | I'd like to give a big "thank you" to Ian and his staff for the impecable service and the overall excellent organization of this event. | | | | | Indeed, for preparing us a B52 at who knows what time in the morning | Quote: | |  | | | LOL!

I had a great time and look forward to the next one which I've been informed should be end of March. | | | | | How could we have lost Mimi, we had Mini Mimi as our mascot and Herman the German who knew a few things also hehe , looking forward to the next event !
They even had to play one round with us 2 standing outside, and still our table won.. the other table was just bluffing

Yes, if I hadn't made it a last minute decision I'd have got a number, will know for next time. And I am usually good at quizzes - can't remember anything useful most of the time, but often amazed by the random stuff I can recall for pub quiz questions.
Must try harder - next time | This user would like to thank planetali for this useful post: | |
