I can do the 18th, but wouldn't be staying late as I have another forum meet already organised for that day.
And I have a friends' birthday the week before which would be even worse as I have further to travel to get there.

Can't do the 18th :(

It all depends on when the baby decides to make an appearance really. We have a due date if the 15th so I don't think I will be allowed run off and drink in London! But it might come early.

 

Only time will tell.

What makes you think that you'll be able to run off and drink if it comes early? You'll be up to your ears in nappies!

My excuse for not coming is that on the 18th, I'll be getting pleasantly drunk in oppulent luxury on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. In a kilt.

I have long legs and lots of family that want to be a part of the special time.

 

That still might not work though.

If the baby's born on the 15th, by the 18th you'll be wanting a break from it.

I have a work-do on the 18th..

Assuming Helen isn't working, what about the 4th of December (as I'm at another Xmas do on the 11th)?

(a work do on a Saturday, serg? That's outrageous!)

I think I'll be at ATP on the 4th, subject to getting a ticket organised in time (tis sold out but hey).

Aside from that nothing's booked in I don't think, I'll try to be along.

I'm with you on the Saturday work thing. I get to see those bastards 5 days a week as it is, if they think I'd turn up on a weekend to spend time with them too, they're mistaken. So, we have ours on a Friday instead.

Even that's a bit iffy, we consider it a right to have a day after the party essentially wasted being hungover.

Actually that's not true now, we had it on a Friday last year. Hmm.

Also, I can no longer use Quick Reply at all, and the wee dropdown on the right has vanished. Has something changed?

I couldn't be doing with going into work the night after the xmas do, although I work so far away I drive anyway so no hangover for me.

 

And ditto on the quick reply-to-all thing, not working for me either.

4th is good for me!

It's working for me again. A new day, or just that I'm now in Chrome Mac instead of PC Firefox? Who knows.

I drive to work too, but the day after a party I let the train take the strain. At about lunchtime most years :)

I know, I know...
I can probably do the 4th or 11th, don't mind which.

I can do most Saturdays in December except 11th as I'm hosting a Christmas bash of my own.

I'll check what she has planned for me (she's basically my diary...I have the memory of a dead fish), but as far as I'm aware I'm good for the 4th or the 18th...although I'll be hung over from a bash on the 17th.

Helen and I can't do the 11th either.

Ahh you have a walking diary as well, they are good arn't they!

 

I would be lost without mine.

18th of December, in York.

 

Then perhaps a trip to Wendyhouse in Leeds after.
