Shush, it's a secret. What can be said is that it contained a large amount of ace limericks, rhymes, an an anagram.

The dinner rather inexplicably took place at Manchester United's 'Old Trafford' stadium. Whoever thought of taking a load of geeks to a football museum and stuff when we're in a town which has a great computing museum must have been nuts. We enjoyed ourselves though, dancing, drinking far too much (yay, pints!) and giggling at the 'entertainment' - a bloke who made Norman Wisdom look funny.

Pottering around the hotel and attending the plenaries, and making butter wormies at lunchtime.

Deee Three in the Marriott Renaissance Manchester, and after some hot working group action (including antispam and Nigel's giant presentation) we pottered over to the Loaf Bar for free drinks sponsored by Telecomplete. Finally, me, Alex and Gordon ran away to eat tapas at a rather nice wine bar, and back to the hotel bar for more beer. So, in short, lots of beer and lots of wine. Ouch.

An evening at Tiger Tiger in Manchester's Printworks, to celebrate 10 years of the London Internet Exchange. Live band, lots of free beer, a snake, and some belly dancers - and a large amount of drunk geeks.

Some folks on IRC didn't believe that I ate this stuff. So here's some photos

Battling our way back to the UK amidst the poor weather, and playing with Schipol airport's wavelan while we were at it.

Taking a boat trip, on a windy night, in the middle of Amsterdam. There's gotta be logic there somewhere - but still, the beer was free and Joel had funky trousers.

Beer sponsored by AMS-IX, and poor dancing. Oh, and it was also Paul Thornton's birthday so we were plying him with drinks too. Features exceptionally bad dancing by drunk geeks.
