Have you taken the card out, Ian? If not, take it out and give the contacts a wipe if they're visible: are these batteries you're using rechargeables? If so, are you sure they're charged? If they're not rechargeables, what exactly are they?

I'm not impressed. If I can't rely on photos, I'm going to have to go down there and see what goes on for myself next time.
Or perhaps you could restage the whole evening and take some new photographs.

Tried all that - batteries are brand new Duracell ones, also. |

It was all real , I tell you! All real!! Aaron was charming! Mort did cuddle eruanto! Tommo did write out 'R3OK' on a piece of paper and held it in front of his face when the camera was pointed at him! Ian and Aaron both ate fish and chips! Autoharp spent generous loads on rounds of drinks! I washed my contact lenses out with beer! It's all true, I swear, Tony. You just gotta believe me!   |

And we can't blame Thommo's face for the fact that Ian's camera has stopped working. And I've heard of beer goggles but not beer contact lenses. |

Interesting about the Cassidy Tie phenomenon. So far it was orange, salmon pink and yellow. Any other bids? I, ehem, vote for orange. (It is my tie, you know? It's orange, though it has tiny knit polka dots that are sort of beige-ish in color.) I can assure you it's not salmon (unless British salmon is orange), nor is it yellow. Anyhow, it's a wicked tie, whatever color it is. And it did the trick, in any case. |

I ought to clarify that when I said Aaron was 'horribly overdressed in a bright orange tie' I was simply quoting the man himself. I agree with Mort: it was yellow.
And I didn't think you were seriously overdressed, Aaron. Although I did keep wondering when you were going to take it off.
Did I subject you to a video of Mexicans jumping off cliffs, btw? Apologies if so. I dredged that up from my pickled memory banks this morning, along with various pleasant but somewhat random conversations with Ian, martle, Mort, and others.
Lovely to see you all!
If the tie was yellow, I'd guess you spent the night going to the ladies room rather than the men's.  And yes, you did indeed show me videos of Mexicans jumping off cliffs. By that point, I didn't know what anything had to do with anything, so ... it didn't even register. I was happy to still be vaguely upright. I'm home now, after some really crap travel issues (hours at customs, delayed flights, etc), and now have to frantically pack to leave tomorrow a.m. for a very well-deserved trip to the mountains. Fun fun. |

Aaron, does that mean...?   |

That would be a very quick turnaround, wouldn't it, m?! Although I did wonder what trick he was talking about ... Btw, did you really wash your lenses in beer? I missed that completely!  I do wish I'd had some fish and chips. I was suffering from a distinct lack of food by the time Ian and Aaron dropped me off at the night-bus stop on Tottenham Court Rd (the three of us somehow managed not to look at the time until it was too late to get the tube, which given the distance we all had to go was a bit unfortunate  ). |

Not that quick at all, tinners, in my experience anyway. Same-day phone call usually. And yes I did do the beer/lenses thing, and more... I think it all happened before you arrived, though.  |

Assuming I've put all the clues together correctly, well done that tie |

Obviously Ian has been photographically challenged today, otherwise we'd now be enjoying the fruits of his labours on a rainy Euston Rd. But poor guy: almost everyone was smoking! And he did last a long while without one, whatever the scale of his capitulation later on... Well, for some mysterious reason, I cannot at all get the camera to turn on now (there are new batteries, I've tried it plugged in the mains, every combination of buttons). There don't seem to be any locks on it. Just nothing happens. It's a Camedia C-725 Ultra Zoom - anyone have any suggestions? Similar thing happened to my camera a few weeks ago. I looked up the symptoms on the Internet and found it was a known problem with the model, with a relatively simple fix involving opening up the case ( tiny screws!) and popping the internal battery out for a few minutes to reset the whatevers. The camera shop would have charged me quite a few quid for the same thing, and that's assuming they would have been able to properly diagnose it in the first place. My camera isn't the same model as yours and I'm not suggesting the problem is in any way similar, but it is worth looking up the DIY fixes on the Internet -- they do work! |
