Everyone must have decided to go for a pre-holiday drink last night because the pub was packed. So full, in fact, that we never got a table and had to all hover around a barrel. One person who was not there was Bill! Even though he got home from India in time, he brought with him some germs and stayed home with a fever wrapped up in a blanket.
The rest of the gang was there. Ollie, Mike, Cat, Jerry, Jules and even neighbor Roger mad an appearance.
This is what happens when Bill isn't here to be my paparazzi. I'm forced to take selfless while everyone is quizzing. Rakesh in India sent that scarf home with Bill for me!
This wasn't even an acting directive.

After the quiz I went over t say hello - and goodbye!! - to The Jedi Knights John and Jason. Turns out this is John's last quiz at the Vic because his contract is up. He'll be up in Whitby until further notice. Jason will still be here until February but he was sad to miss Bill before the holidays and sent him this message below:
It's sad to start saying good bye to people. But I hope that Bill and I will get up to Whitby in 2015.
