Pfff… The Samizdata.net Christmas/Cthulhumas Party has wound down with the last inebriates staggering off at a mere 02:30 in the morning. Lightweights! We have had blogger bashes last until 9:00 am the next morning!

Seeing as Samizdata.net is having its Christmas party (or is it Cthuhulumas party?) today, I thought I would stick up some pictures from… the very congenial Adam Smith Institute party last Tuesday. Just for the hell of it.

 … Gunpowder treason and plot! I shall be going out tonight to give that Catholic boy Guy Fawkes a rousing send off on this most politically incorrect of nights.   November 5th, 2004 | 29 comments - (Comments are closed)
Halloween… yes, many of the Samizdatistas duly did their duty on All Hallows Eve by going ‘bump’ in the night… 
The girls were all spidery…
No, it was not tomato soup, it was the blood of virgins, honest
Paul was not used to women coming up and admiring his chopper
The host and hostess kill not kill all the trick or treaters to make the tasty stew
… but the true horror walks the earth tomorrow… November 1st, 2004 | Comments are closed
Blogging may be a bit light tonight (or not) as there is a Samizdata.net Blogger Bash at Samizdata HQ tonight… We shall be trying to impress a certain Texan blogger with Chili Con Chelsea! October 22nd, 2004 | 10 comments - (Comments are closed)
We are having a dinner party at Samizdata.net HQ and our recurring toast this evening (with excellent Polish flavoured vodka and apple juice) is:
 It just seemed the appropriate thing to say on September 11th. September 11th, 2004 | 80 comments - (Comments are closed)
… yet another blog party at Samizdata.net HQ… 
There are so many new bloggers ‘on the party circuit’ now that we have to rotate our invitation lists. So if you did not get an invitation, we (probably) still love you… maybe next time. August 13th, 2004 | 7 comments - (Comments are closed)
…which explains the meagre output on the blog today. Not a ‘blogger bash’, just a party. The excuse for this bash was the visit of American writer and journalist Nancy Rommelmann and her charming daughter Tafv 
Nancy listens to a lecture on why she needs to drink more Pimms
Some of the guests were surprised to hear there was not going to be a Frisbee throwing contest
Antoine was astonished to see proof that there is indeed a martial art associated with barbeque tools
The Three Furies seems rather mellow after imbibing significant amounts of Pimms
We have no idea who these two people are but they just appeared out of the gathering gloom like apparitions and ate all the fish July 31st, 2004 | 15 comments - (Comments are closed)
Yesterday we has a Samizdata.net Bash (rather than a general Blogger Bash) to greet fellow Samizdatista Frank McGahon on the occasion of his visit to London… and seeing as it was also Waterloo Day, we were delighted to have a guest at the party whose name is Wellington!
For once the London rain was conspicuous by its absence!
We have started a policy of recruiting Samizdata.net contributors as early as possible in their careers
Some familiar faces and some new ones from downunder
As usual there was a plague of digital cameras
Much booze was disposed of… July 19th, 2004 | 9 comments - (Comments are closed)

A good many of the Australian bloggerati (including Scott Wickstein and myself) attended a fine blogger bash in Melbourne over the weekend. A splendid evening was had by all, and photos have been put up in various other places, but there was just one additional thing I have to share with the world. This is Tim Blair.  Notice the glass of the pale coloured yellowy stuff in his hand. Tim spent the whole evening drinking chardonnay. He made some feeble excuse about how is is trying to reclaim chardonnay for capitalism, but I was not entirely convinced about his protestations. He did, after all drink a lot of chardonnay. In fact he couldn’t stop.  Could the whole Right Wing Death Beast thing be an act, when Tim has such an extreme characteristic of the enemy? I am fearful.
