I think DS1 is in the Guardian ...

I say 'I think' because it's the "All ears" thing, which is an overheard conversation. It really sounds like him, the description matches, and I spoke to the other person in the conversation, and she thinks it's him ...

All very strange.

Really, what the Michael Holden one?

Yes, the Michael Holden one. About dinosaurs. DH spotted it this morning, and I read it over the phone to the 'grandmother' (actually a neighbour) and she said it sounded like them. Certainly the 'grandmother's tone (calm, patient, explaining) sounds exactly like her.

Ok, have actually done it. Sorry about the delay.

Yes, it really does sound like him. I don't know if any of you have met him? He hasn't come to a lot of meet ups, but I suspect Frances would confirm it sounds like him ...

NQC, me money? Ooh, yes please! [skint this month] Did you have fun?

Yes, your money, hunker. Sorry it's so late, I'm crap.

It was fun, although I think I went into it exhausted, and had just had a big night out the night before, whoops. Nice venue, total chaos. Probably smaller get togethers work better for me?

LOL at this. I love 'All ears', it's genius...

I love it, too, I keep meaning to get a collection of it.

hunkermunker · 02/02/2008 22:05

Thank you, NQC. You up for meeting up again? That was fun last time! I don't think I'll strap DS2 to me for the duration this time though...!

I'm very much up for another drunken lunch. Or dinner.

I've been clubbing, or having people over to play on the Wii, or to do jigsaws, rather a lot these days.

Our local gay club night is great, but probably too far for me to drag lots of MNers to ...
