Beery bloggers

Francis Sedgemore, Sunday 18 July 2010 at 11:42 UTC

Yesterday evening, in a tavern of renown near London Bridge, I spent a convivial few hours in the company of a group of esteemed political and southeast London community bloggers. All had their various bits and bobs in the right places, and there were no pyjamas, nervous ticks or sociopathic tendencies on display. In other words, normal, intelligent, congenial chaps and chapesses.

Brought together by Bob from Brockley, those assembled included Kellie Strøm of Airforce Amazons, Michael Ezra of Harry’s Place, Jams O’Donnell, Sue Luxton, Carl of Raincoat Optimism, Max Calò, and Keith, the sociologist and Jewish death metal fanatic. Apologies to others not mentioned here, but unfortunately I didn’t get to speak with everyone.

    Thanks for coming Francis. I have to say I was a little worried about the ticks and tendenceies, but was pleasantly suprised and had a lovely time.

    Yeah, well, talk about the gift of understatement.

    Of course, it’s envy speaking here.
