2012-07-24 - North Drinks - Fourth birthday!

Haha
Oddly enough, I've just found a cheap muti-tool in the office with the required allen key. My Park allen key set should be ashamed. See you there!

Out of curiosity, is this a 4th Birthday or is it an Anniversary?

This is one of the many 1st world problems that has been troubling me all day. Others include whether venison is out of season and the correct wine to drink with spicy prawns.

I'd go for a nice Sauvignon Blanc with the prawns. Or perhaps a Shiraz.
It's not the season for Venison - September through to mid-February is venison time.

I hope that's helpful. Be up about 8 / 8.30 with topping heavy cupcakes.

You avoided the most problematic question, Birthday or Anniversary?

I'd say anniversary. Unless it's a living thing surely it can't technically be born - more created. But birthday I think is fine, because you get more cake at a birthday.

Jolly good evening. Many fine people, and fine cakes.

Decided to ride it the whole way back. Should start going more often, that ride once a week would get me back in shape.

Had a thoroughly fine time at my first ever norths, struggling to remember names but good to meet Debbie (deLite?), ? (furious tiles), Dimitri (?) and so many more lovely friendly people...I will certainly be back..,,

Thanks
Gareth

Yes Gareth, good to meet you and will see you back soon. Great night, thanks to everyone, thanks for all cakes and sweets. Yes.

Great night all. I didn't take a single picture.

Thanks to all cake-makers (Charlotte/Vix/[Sed]) and to all who turned up from far and wide whether that was Finsbury Park, west London or Bromley!

As always thanks to the regulars and the Flask.

I look forward to pictures and a little less to any video.

Thanks for a great introduction to Norths. I picked a good night to attend. I'll be back for more soon!

A wonderful night.
