Oh memories...

Yep, yep, yep! (sans litter)

I wish I could do this... Sadly I have to be in Essex somewhere...

Boo

I was asked about the route last week - a fantastical winter wonderland trip, from the sublime to the ridiculous, the good the bad and the ugly, all await the participants.

(If anyone has any suggestions, esp. for pit stops to visit xmas day workers, like last year, please do post them up)

know anywhere serving the black stuff on the day?

... failing that, hip flask will have to sufice

Yep, there is a pub near Tower Bridge which is open, might go there for a pint or two at the end. I think it opens at 11.

Well done DK!
Looking forward to this...

List?
Do we still do these?

Is Mrs Socks forced to work again?

Will do my best to be there.

Dependant on the weather, ennui, and biorhythms of the morning.

With the new forumat, people click the 'attending' button at the top instead of listing...

Shame, I like lists.

Nice! I think the Dove on Broadway market is open from 12 for a post ride pint.

and to think there are 11 people who think theyre going but arent really as there is a formal process here...

I hate that pub. Imaging what it will be like on christmas day!

That list took ages and even then I ended up doing the list in word. The forum software doesn't like doing numbers even using the list function

And even then I got it wrong.

Me and Quad will be coming. I shall try to avoid my inner tube exploding 5 mins after leaving Oxford Circus.

Was it 5 mins? ;)

That was the most amazing sound, really did sound like a gun going off and echoing round the buildings.

This crept up quickly!

I have been looking for a spot closer to the centre for a pint, most places do not open until midday though...
