3. It was an aus.culture.gothic Thing in 2000 at the Sherlock Holmes (pub) we thought we were the only ones that turned up besides Crust, but other people arrived later. Afterwards you walked me to the tram stop and put your arms around me to keep warm, which was confusing but nice :-)

I should have said at the time but I thought I'd sound like a right snob, which I don't think I am. Please do delete this comment if you don't like me having said this in your journal. Is no bad reflection on you - I should wear a warning badge or something.
