I had it ready then got collared by a colleague before I could hit "add reply".

I just came here to write that too so I didn't feel like such a harbinger of doom.

I did promise someone who is going to a funeral in Putney on Monday I'd pray the strike wouldn't go ahead...

Yeah, the weekend is back on.
I sent out a work e-mail reminding people to make arrangements for Monday if there was a strike and said in passing I was not impressed either as it was affecting my weekend plans. (The Monday morning commute would have had to start with a bus at 6:30am, whichever route I chose.)

I'll probably be a bit early too. The stress of drinking and having to order before 7:30 is too much for me ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

I'm here, but I'm not sure who I'm looking for. Went upstairs, looked lost, don't know if anyone is there yet or not.
have come back down to the bar for a drink. Might go up again in a bit, or might give up and go home.

Hi Kelly, your meet was at the Mulberry Bush on Upper Ground, near Waterloo, opposite the London ITV studios.
And yes, luvndaisiesv is sitting next to me, so she's found us.

Sounds like a very profitable Shipmeet for you. Forgot my password a few weeks ago and had to email for it. ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif)
