Perhaps it was the beer...but I was unusually magnanimous about Sir Roger in this meeting...I must be more diligent in the future...
I noticed this as well.
Well then, if all it takes to prevent you from attacking Sir Roger is alcohol, then for our next summit meeting I am buying you a keg! )

Hey Tee Hee and Loeff, you guys are awesome for getting together and even more awesome for sharing the experience with the rest of us. {[]
But fellas...FELLAS!...how did you get it so wrong with the camera? You had it backwards -- you were supposed to take pictures of the Hooters talent, not the other way around!
To anyone interested, my offer of meeting in Manhattan or environs still stands...it's getting nice in NYC, and soon the city will empty out for the summer. To paraphrase The Beautiful South, I invite anyone to share a pint or two or three or four.

Sir Hillary, I am appalled that you would suggest that the beautiful Hooters waiting staff had anything to do with our decision to eat there. We, of course, were only interested in the food. 8-) )
We in fact had originally planned to take the picture with a waitress in-between us, but how can you pick just one? ;%
I suppose one of the reasons Loeffs and myself didn't take separate pictures of the Hooters talent is because we didn't want to look like a dirty old man and a hormonal adolescent respectfully. )
Another reason we didn't is out of respect for our female friends here on the board. We would like to try our best to limit all ogling of women to the Izabella thread.
Loeffs and I are gentlemen, not pigs! :007)

Well, it all came off quite nicely today, I must say. Prior to the summit, I escorted Mr. Hee to the local Department of Motor Vehicles facility in order to assure that he had the proper legal documentation for the meeting (Read: he needed an updated driver's licence, without the dreaded 'UNDER 21' red bars ).
Since we'd had much success with the venue for our previous Summit Meeting, we awarded them the opportunity to host our next Naturally, they were most appreciative...
Mr. Hee had the fish and chips; I had the buffalo shrimp (hot). Topics of conversation ranged, as ever, from real-life politics to just-for-fun Bonditics. We paused to reflect upon currently active AJB friends...and the continuing absence of other members---whether simply Missing In Action, or Terminated With Extreme Prejudice...
After three adult beverages, Mr. Hee seemed ready for the knockout punch...
...as I made my case for Daniel Craig as the best hope for Literary Bond in the Modern Era. Having just read Moonraker (he's going in order, after CR and LALD), he sees my point...up to a point...but stubbornly adheres to his tired old Cinematic Bond Traditionalist frame of reference Ah well. The struggle continues.
Quantum of Solace naturally figured prominently in the discussion, as well: Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurylenko's worthiness as Bond Girls...Mathis' value as a Bond ally...Felix Leiter's (hopefully) expanded role in #22...and the expanding scope of Dame Judi Dench's M, as she angles for that high-speed ride in the DBS...
When it was time to wrap things up, the lunch crowd had thinned out a bit, and we were finally able to secure a classic-style photographic portrait of the latest AJB Summit; one which is appropriately high-brow, and accurately reflects the serious nature of heavy discussions such as this:
Thanks for a splendid meeting, my friend. See you next time {[]

The internet does such a good job of pretecting our idenities, probably the greatest "equalizer" since the six-shooter was invented. All we are known by here are our words. That's nice in a way since our judgements about each other are confined to what we choose to reveal about ourselves and how well we express ourselves not on appearance.
Glad to hear this expierence worked out! Apparently not everyone on the internet is a nut or a stalker!! Beware though, Bran can be like a bomb with a slow fuse!
Both Tee Hee and Loffelholtz you are very lucky CR'06 is playing again at the cinema. Almost makes living in snowbound areas a tolerable idea.
Tee Hee, don't let that grey hair fool you, it's indeed a sign of wisdom, and before long Loffelholtz will have educated you to the reality that Daniel Craig IS James Bond!!!!
Hey, Barbel, we really should meet up for a couple of pints soon (not least since I still owe you!) - maybes The Sheiling one week night if you're willing to wander down? It is literally a wander for me, it's at the bottom of my road
Then we can scare the bejesus out of everyone on here with a picture of one of the barmaids ) )

...especially the one who snatched my pal Andrew's mike to join in while we were singing "500 Miles" as an encore. Mrs Andrew stepped in pretty quickly and, er, remedied the situation . (PS We're back at The Sheiling on May 10th)
Yeah, I'm game for a few pints but not in sunny Largs- there's no way back from there if incapable of driving, which I would be. How about Paisley?
I'm no longer on the Clyde playing with warships, but in Renfrew with the old Babcock & Wilcox company. Though managed a full 4 months there before being poached into the wonderful world of nuclear decommissioning, so I'll soon be cycling to work

Bride Of Barbel doesn't drink, so if I'm very nice she might be persuaded to drive to, say, Beith again.
Will drop you a PM soon and work it out!
