Andu has kept me thoroughly entertained with texts of the antics and his long, long couch journeys.

Fantastic weekend, good to see everyone in person again. Fine banter, japery and alcohol.

That was literally the second best weekend of the year, for me.
I had a thoroughly jolly time and it was fantastic to see everyone (again and for the first time). I hope we can do it again soon!
Matt's The Gauntlet was just ace, probably the best "quiz" I've taken part in.
Out of interest, if any can provide a full description of that woman who sexually assaulted me (Matt did take a photo, but on her camera), the Birmingham Police would be interested in talking to you.
Glad everyone got home safely.
