Russell Davies: christmassy coffee

Bumper turn-out for coffee this morning. We had mince pies and crackers which added to the festivities. Lots of people, but I'm afraid I didn't get pictures of everyone. Sorry.

Stevie, Gareth and Simon. Gareth was kind enough to bring me a lego Darth Vader keyring which Arthur has already co-opted. Simon was telling me of his night out with Jeffre at a Gary Numan concert where he played the whole of Telekon. (Gary Numan played it, not Simon.) To the right of Simon was Dave, who I've not pictured and didn't get to chat to much, so hello Dave, hope to see you another time.

James, Arthur and Helen. To the left of Helen was Max who again, I didn't get to chat to much, so hello Max and thanks for chatting with Arthur so patiently. Very kind. (And Max has just written this very thoughtful post about Arthur, and other things.)

Paul and Arthur comparing muscles.

and trading blows.

Richard looming and looking thoughtful.

I think Arthur's in love with Rebecca from the Design Conspiracy. And that's Mr Dylan Trees in the background (I know he has a real name, but it doesn't seem real enough to me) and Alex, who again I didn't get to chat too. Sorry Alex. See you another time.

I also seem to have failed to photograph Ben, Rebecca and Johnny. I don't think I've missed anyone else but apologies if I have. And if anyone not underlined in blue wants to send me a link please do. And huge thanks to everyone for coming, and to everyone who's come any time, to any coffee morning, anywhere in the world. Everyone's willingness to come out and say hello has been one of the most exciting things of 2006 for me. It's a fantastic thing. If you've not been please come along. There's no agenda, no need to be a planner or a blogger or anything, it's just coffee and chat, beverages and banter, drinks and discussion. Next London one will probably be Friday the 5th, but I'll confirm nearer the time.
