Who do you think I am, a cross between Father Christmas and Mike Wood?!

Ahh, not my first language, maybe I am forgiven?
By the way, just been called to an important meeting at 20;15 tonight...
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
Slight cock-up with the invitations (again), thanks Wimm for letting me know (again). Hopefully everyone has the zoom details now!
Don’t forget the dress code tonight - and partners most welcome to join in tonight - which could get interesting after the 4th cocktail!
PM Kirk280 if you want to join - Live now!!
Sorry guys - only just got home.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........

Absolutely wonderful to see you all, a real pleasure.
Seasonal hugs.

Seasonal greetings.
I’m loving the fancy dress :)
All the best

It's just a matter of time...
I really enjoyed last night Gents, it rounded off an enjoyable year of fortnightly vGTGs. Last night’s highlights for me:
As someone new was joining....would they be wearing the correct attire?
Walkerwek1958 confusing ‘black tie’ with ‘wear your wife’s Santa outfit’
Meeting some people for the first time, great to meet Raffe, Carlton-Browne and Pitch3110. And fair play to Pitch for getting out of bed to join us!
We were thinking of people who couldn’t attend too.
Have a nice Christmas everyone. You are all invited to a McrGTG in 2021!
Likewise, it was a pleasure to see you all and good to meet some of you for the first time.
I think the cocktails have contributed to my tiredness, I must have forgotten that excess gin doesn't agree with me.
I look forward to the next one and, possibly a GTG in real life, imagine that......
I'll drive all the way to the UK if that happens :)
Yep, well worth getting back out of bed an popping a shirt and tie on.
Really enjoyed the company Gents and putting faces to names.
Have a good’un all.
Pitch
You can pick me up on the way.

ATB guys - a GTG (proper) is Waaaayyy overdue!.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Think we'll get stuck in France, what with their wine and food :))
Looks like it was a good one!
Lots of stuff between me and the UK. France is not one of them.
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
Don’t forget Wooster you need to pick up two chaps in Berlin!
Thanks Kirk for organizing and I was a little bit tired and emotional when I woke up this morning for yet another Zoom meeting!
Have a very Merry Christmas, you chaps brush up well!
First we take Berlin, then we take Manchester :)
It was really nice to see you all. Thanks for politely putting up with my mechanical calculator ramblings.

Don't just do something, sit there. - TNH
I found it fascinating and a real treat but you may cost me a few quid in the NY my friend.
Also it was just so lovely to share stories of a particular individual and wonderful human being.
Pitch
Agreed, I thought the Curta overview was great. And it was also great to hear about a TZ stalwart that I’ve never met, but hopefully will do one day!
Oh no! You didn't.......
Merry Christmas to all! Sorry for not making any recent gatherings - for various reasons been busy, despite lockdowns!!! Will have minimal excuses I think in Jan.....

The first vGTG of 2021 will be this Thursday 7th January, 8pm GMT.
As I’m doing ‘dry January’ this one might result in me being less tired than usual (!).
Dress code: lockdown fashion.
Dress code for Walkerwek1958: sexy Santa.
As ever, vGTG virgins are very welcome. We have new people joining every time. Sometimes they even come back!
Details to follow via PM to people who have attended before. Drop me a PM if you’d like to join us for the first time (and drop me a PM if I forget you, as always happens).
Please don’t forget me this time Kirk!

Sorry may not be able to make this one even after all my recent Forum drama!
I will try to join but it will be late if I make it!
Missed that! Drama? Where?

Ok drama may be a bit strong, just some differences of opinion between myself and some ‘insert suitable insult here’
Don’t worry about it, happens to the best of us!
I’ve packed the Santa suit away till next year.......not sure it was such a good look!
Invitations sent....hopefully to everyone this time. As ever, please let me know if I've forgotten you (Wimm!)
There will be a couple of first time attendees on the zoom tonight too...good stuff.
Anyone else doing dry January?

Look forward to it tonight; I have got some non alcoholic Gin. It’s my wife’s honest.
Sorry but won't be able tonight. Next time.

Looking out if the window, it is unlikely to be weather related, let me ponder further over a glass of San Miguel...
Anyone else doing dry January?I have a lovely Single Malt from Mull lined up for tonight - after a couple or three ciders. It's the first time we met after New Years! Time for a celebration
Thanks for the invitation but I'm also not going to make tonight - should be able to manage in 2 weeks though.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Another great vGTG, cheers all!
Nice to meet a couple of Gents for the first time too.
Thanks for organising; it was great to meet everyone and actually put faces to names. Hopefully be able to meet in person one day.
Cheers and special thanks to all those interesting stories from ‘unclealec’
Thanks for a good laugh everybody - apologies for my premature departure (worried mother called about her forthcoming Covid jab).
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Sorry I couldn’t make it. Next one.
Another enjoyable vGTG.👍
Good to meet a couple of new attendees.
Lovely to see fun was had and apologies guys I am balls deep this week on my business. With nine live construction sites, the biggest with 50 operatives working daily and with all based in Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire COVID is making for an interesting start to the year......
