Lordy - from memory
From left:
Can't remember his name but know who he is and that expressive mug and will slap my forehead when reminded - one of the IaFG crew.
Then DonFisher
Then HardBoiledPhil
Then....unsure but they're sitting next to me* so they can't be all that bad.

*yes, once I wasn't chunky - I was actually quite underweight at that time.

The other oddity is names. My name isn't actually Dave. Many people continue to call me Dave though, I like to think in homage to Trigger but there may be other reasons...

r-l
Beany, Sane_Dave, HBPhil, Don Fisher, not sure - maybe Wolfy666

I still refer to papadums as 'big crisps' in honour of Beany at one of these curry nights, and I never even went to one.

I remember going to one and ended up crashing in Trany's (whatever happened to him?) hotel room. Beany's "big crisps", the awesome chicken chat starter, fun times.

I had a friend for Ormskirk who called them big crisps too! It's a catchy name

In fairness, I'll credit Neb with that one, I think he introduced me to the term!
