Formerly known as the 'People Who've Got Nothing Better To Do Party'. Nicky, Rachel, Matt, Kieran, Jon, Victoria, Dave, Will, Elaine, Richie and Rob turn what started out as a quiet night in into a drunken New Years' Eve. Featured a spectacular dive over the baby gate by Joel, resulting in a bruised shoulder.

Rachel and Matthew came round for a good meal which, for a change, was cooked by Nicky! Ended up with Matthew revealing he was actually a pretty competent organist, and sight-read most of Cocker's Tuba Tune... not bad, even if he did go on to play pendulous Christmas carols on the organ as well! A fab night, 5 bottles of red wine, and a hell of a hangover the next day.

Well, we tried to do some live music, but for some daft reason we didn't actually manage to 'get it together'. Perhaps we should practice, or get Eddie Van Halen on guitar.

The Fotopic.Net development team hit Wakefield for a debauched night, starting out with dinner at the Silver Palace Chinese Restaurant, and ending up in Westgate. Featured such gems as Richie attempting to get a netball team undressed, and Neal's encounter with two of Santa's little helpers. Oh, and the Maltesers...

I think I saw Lori Lixenberg of 'Combat Opera' busking in Covent Garden, but I daren't get too close because she was accosting people. Pretty Christmas tree too.
