Very enjoyable night wid da suits and the boiler suited one. The 'heckler' was cringingly funny and Austin on fine form. Even managed to get all the way home without being raped by a cab so all good.

Loved the simplicity of the raffle too. Well done Charlie and thanks for allowing the great unwashed of this place to hob-knob amongst the names!

An eclectic mix of people indeed!!
Wasn't sure what to expect TBH, even more so when all the 'suits' arrived!
Needn't have worried, Austin's humour broke down any barriers there might have been. Best night out I've had for ages and bloody good value considering where we were.
Thanks Charlie

A brilliant evening all round: thrash up on the bike, play in the traffic around the Blackwall Tunnel, a SUPERB talk from Austin, and home again on deserted motorways... And all a matter of yards from where I used to work when I wore a (very much cheaper) suit.

It was a touch chilly on the way home, but out of respect and admiration for those intrepid trans-Siberian adventurers, I only put my heated grips and seats on level one. Push the boundaries...

The only other minor negative point on the evening was the discovery when I got home of a nasty cross-threading incident on a half-drunk bottle of Oasis (Citrus Punch, noen of that Summer Fruits shit) in my top-box. See, you don't have to travel across thousands of miles of wilderness to experience biking-related heartache.

I didn't really know much about Austin Vince, and also didn't know quite what to expect from his talk. But I haven't laughed so much in a long, long time. An extremely entertaing chap. (And he is very definitely a chap, as well.)

Thanks for arranging this, Charlie.
