As a latecomer I'll commandeer the rule of the last shall be first but name call myself as Maryrose greeted me: Niall-alla-lall-alla-lall-alla-lala-la-la-larkin. Cheers lexia ;-)
Damian here. Thanks for setting it up. I have some photos on flickr which i'll link when I brighten them a little. Food was great. Korean beer was good too.
I just started it a few mins ago - and George has a bet that I'll have it finished by the time he gets home from work!!
George was delighted that I went in the end and couldn't stop grinning himself on the way home - says it was the first time in a week that he saw me 'back to normal' and it was well worth it.
Photos (all 2 of them) are here: flickr tweetup2 set
It seems a N95 camera doesn't perform very well in dark conditions and flash is puny, but you can make out the faces, I think.
@dbannon I took the liberty of brightening one of 'em using pixenate.com you can see the results here... http://tinyurl.com/2udmyd . There's a bookmarklet at pixenate.com you can use to fix any photo on the web. I used the 'fill-flash' button to brighten the image.
@clare No problem, it was nice to see you out. It was a good opportunity to meet everyone and have a chat. Propsto you for the excellent suggestion of the venue. Planning on returning there quite soon.. ;D
@sxoop - I prefer it because of the variable permission settings - we can still load up photos of our family and friends, but can set a password to the gallery so that only family can access them - great for private gatherings. We can also make some galleries fully private so that only George & I can see them. It's just as easy to use as Flickr, although I they use albums instead of sets and I feel that the tags could be stronger...

@Martha No problem. It was nice to see so many people turn up. The venue was good wasn't it? I think I'll be dropping by again.

@Ellybabes Good luck to you on the doc visit. Nice to see you last night. Has George managed to pry the Boorman book outta your hands all night? :)

@ellybabes I can see you finishing before EOD ;)
Pity about not being able to eat fish.. Although that allowed everyone scoff more at your expense!
