I'm sure gin would come up several times. Word count isn't that important. just an overview and some photos would suffice.

Butler Baiting and Umbrella Jousting? It can only be the Chap Olympiad (c) BBC.

I used to have a DIY man who was 7' 4" tall. 

But he was into motorbikes, and he is now retired.  So the likelihood of me being able to introduce you to him is minimal.

I've just seen me!!

On http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18770953 at 2.00 the chaps are going at each other with brollys.  If you look at the corner behind them in the front of the audience there is a relatively clearish shot of a lady sitting down with a purple hat, hand on face.  That is me.

(I remember that fight - it was quite brutal.)

Thanks for the links Tito - it was a most splendid event, and I'm already looking forward to next years soiree.
Great meeting you, Brendan, 'The Chairman' and others who I forget due to imbibing large quantities of gin.
