The subplot to the planning was a whole load of nonsense which got one site user banned and had several others incensed.
At one point in the e-mail trail Barmy Kev and I talked about boycotting the evening, which would have made it very interesting indeed as I get the impression that, in the end, it was just the two of us who turned up and dined.
Sometimes I wonder whether we should have renamed the site MTWLTWTL (Middlesex Till We Lose The Will To Live).
We went to the O2 Centre on Finchley Road.
We plotted lots of interesting stuff for the MTWD website that evening by all accounts.
Strangely, I don’t think anyone ever attempted one of those MTWD Xmas dinners again. I cannot imagine why not.
