I'll take minutes
1-20mins: Everyone arrives, but no one know's who's who so aimless wandering ensues till everyone finds each other.
20-30mins: Everyone finally has a drink in their hand and is sat down...silence ensues
30-40mins: Someone (David) cracks a terrible joke, no one laughs
40-50mins: Someone coughs (a sure sign that they want to leave but can't due to the chains)
1 hour: Everyone leaves after a very awkward group photo is taken.
See you there

I'm sure everyone will recognise Aaron seeing as his picture is on here. If not, just look for the group of people who look a bit odd and awkward - spotting hardcore comedy fans is always easy I find.
I'm easy to spot too - I wear an eye patch, carry a pogo stick around with me at all times, wear zany bow ties, like talking about train spotting and have a really excitable personality (some people say I'm a mix between a pirate and The Fast Show's Colin Hunt). Strangely I've never been to a party that lasts longer than 10 minutes - it always seems to in-explicably break up just after I arrive.

Lunchtime... I thought we were meeting in the evening?!?
I don't mind starting things off at lunchtime, but the question is can people tolerate my company for that long? If so, everyone needs to come armed with a get-out early excuse in case they hate me!

Laura, depends on exactly how many people turn up.
As for time, I'm currently working on a mid-afternoon start for the 'main event'. Can meet people earlier in the day though, if they're in London already.

Dunno why but I assumed it was a midday thing.
Have you decided where yet?
It's only just over 2 weeks so if the northerners set out now......

Cool, fingers crossed if it's somewhere near The Red Lion in Carnaby St I can pop in after another reunion. Or just union in this case as there's been no re.

The venue is still a mystery. Will Aaron give us any clues?
Congrats on your 500 by the way.

*looks around suspiciously*
Unfortunately, there's been a slight setback location-wise, so it won't be as central as I'd hoped. Should still be good though, and still accessible fairly easily by Tube.

Come on - just tell us where it is and what you're planning so we can make arrangements.
