I've linked (or at least tried) all the entries and photos together: www.bbcity.co.uk/misc/xmasphotos/

Grim: that was the "serious" corner where they discussed the Guardian Awards. Everywhere else we were discussing the relative merits of web scripting languages.

Is that the flamenco dancer chick from the B3ta party?
Posted by cal, 15:57, 1st December 2003:

in that one of tom looking scary, the girl behind me works for the guardian weblog. and i fancy her

I like the way cal's magic floating digital camera floats around over his shoulder waiting to snap the unwary.

"and i fancy her"

Lets assume she doesn’t read the iamcal threads and that desperate attempt at an admission of admiration wasn’t read by her.

Are you gonna apply the squeeze?
Posted by cal, 20:49, 1st December 2003:
 
heh - the chances of *anyone* other than us reading this far down a thread is small

(the chance was a million to one they said, but still they come :/)


i'm far too much of a wimp to talk to her
Posted by chandler, 21:46, 1st December 2003:
 
I'm sure quoting War of the Worlds lyrics will make her fancy you Mr Cal
;)
Posted by Redmaiden, 21:51, 1st December 2003:
 
If you are talking about the blonde lady cal, then according to many other bloggers that went to the party they all fancy the guradian lady!
Posted by trim..., 21:57, 1st December 2003:
 
i thought it was the brunette? cal strikes me as more of a brunette kinda guy..

ooh i have an overwhelming urge to dig out my war of the worlds cd now..
(isn't it "the chances of anything coming to this were a million to one they said"?)
Posted by cal, 22:40, 1st December 2003:
 
there was a blonde woman there? the guardian woman was brunette

trim: yeah it is. i was mangling for my own use
Posted by Redmaiden, 22:52, 1st December 2003:
 
I dunno lol I was told there was a blonde guradian woman there but I have no idea because I didn't go

"The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one," he said

etc
Posted by trim..., 23:07, 1st December 2003:

there's some blonde chick in a few photos
Posted by cal, 08:24, 2nd December 2003:
 
oh yeah - that'd be mo's girlfriend katie.

kaite norton (mo's girlfriend):



jane perrone (hot guardian chick):

I thought he was quoting Just Imagine...
Posted by cal, 10:37, 2nd December 2003:
 
hehe. i think perhaps that monumentous game ripped off war of the worlds ;)
Posted by tommorris, 11:01, 2nd December 2003:
 
The pictures of me are horrifying.
Posted by Grim..., 11:17, 2nd December 2003:
 
@Cal: SURELY THE OTHER WAY AROUND!
Posted by cal, 11:29, 2nd December 2003:
 
i think the unfortuante linear passage of time may prove that one wrong
Posted by Grim..., 11:42, 2nd December 2003:
 
Maybe the creators of J.I. (can't remember who they were) went back in time to show Wells the game, and he nicked the line from it.

TAKE THAT, CAUSALITY!
