And so Willard insisted I took him to the Flyertalk meet that MoreChampagneSir? was organising in London. Of course, to do this, Willard had to come into the office with me, so I thought I might as well put him to work! Actually, he did a better job on the conference call than I usually do, and was certainly better at keeping quiet!

Willard makes a bee-line for the upstairs bar at the Pitcher & Piano! (Following the Flyertalk signs thoughtfully provided by MoreChampagneSir?) A few Flyertalkers have already arrived, and so we get our tab set up and start to say hello to everyone..

Willard meets up with VC10 Boy and flibble, it's especially nice to see new faces, and see Flyertalk lurkers turning into fully fledged FT nuts!

And on our next visit to the bar we meet UK flyer! Willard was impressed that he had a much more upmarket bag than Willard!

And WIllard is happy to see that he isn't the only mascot attending (one day he dreams that the mascots may outnumber the humans at an FT meet). So TIMP has brought along her little friend twinkie.

So, whilst I mingle, Willard and twinkie get together to discuss the joys of long-haul travel. Willard is stunned to hear that, due to recent security restrictions, twinkie had to travel in the hold. Now, you need to understand that Willard is the kind of bear that is so sensitive that we have to spell out the word E-C-O-N-O-M-Y when we use it in front of him, so you can imagine what he thinks of being stuck in the hold!!

Willard meets BAAZ and LapLap. He's especially proud to have met LapLap, who is a prolific contributor to FT and the BA Board (far more prolific than we are, in fact!)

And so we're off to eat, unfortunately Willard has to say goodbye to TIMP as she cannot join us for the curry. Since then, Willard has developed a sudden aversion to washing and a consuming interest in visiting Australia (and TIMP), First Class all the way, naturally, not hold class!

And so with More Champagne Sir? leading the way, Witch in the driving seat, and swissytrader initiating an impromptu bidding war between rival Curry houses, we end up in Tandoori Nights and Willard settles down to studying the menu..

And as you can plainly see, Witch is rightly placed at the head of the table, and has strangely managed to cast a spell on my camera making it refuse to record her true radiance! (But thankfully she never said "I'll get you! and your little bear too!") Meanwhile, on the left, KenJohn and flibble discuss the intricacies of the BA programme, whilst on the right, MoreChampangeSir? swore that he wasn't camera-shy, he still seems to manage to face away from the camera, as does PhilH.

And we set down to the serious business of consuming a good Curry (and in More Champagne Sir?'s case, the first such experience, and given his reaction to the, lets face it, pretty mild korma, probably also his last! - "I'm melting - I'm melting!"). Much Kudos also to swissytrader for providing the wine, once the free beers he negotiated ran out!

And so, after we have made our excuses, we leave to start the trek back to the South Coast. Not quite the seating Willard is acustomed to, but, this late at night the tube is at least empty enough to give him a seat. I wish the trek home had continued to go as well, but, sadly, due to some mis-configuration at Victoria, we ended up on the wrong train, and about 55 miles in the wrong direction. However, after Willard clicked his heels together three times, and NetworkRail owned up to the mistake a taxi was provided to get us back to the flat - "there's no place like home!"
