A pint? That's very nearly an armf.......Oh, so my quid didn't go far then.
So, you enjoyed yourself - was there an atmosphere, you know standing there where so many greats of comedy have stood, buying a round for ten bob and having enough left over for a cod and sixpenny worth on the way home.

Huge thanks to Sootyj for organising.
Either RC's on-line persona OR his pub persona is a mask to hide the real person 
Soryy I didn't make it....
It was a great evening and I'm starting to wonder out if this is how RCP gets all the girls.
Be a rightwinger nut job on line, then his affable self in real life.
He's like the Tardis of the BCG.

either a very clever pun, or a disturbing insight into you 2's relationship

But but but, he's bigger on the outside... Some 6' 7", I think.
Gives hime a distinct adantage, being able to see all the pretty girls over our heads.

Blimey - he's no Richard Osman. It's a well-known fact that I like my men to be between 5ft 11.5 inches to 6ft 3 inches tall, but 6ft 7in is too lofty for my peculiar tastes. No, he seemed a nice guy; erudite and amusing - actually my friend Lucy kind of liked him...
Are we being heightist?

I guess so - maybe it's a throwback to The Goodies' 'Apart Height'?

I wrote him a pm after our latest dispute. His reply was shockingly nice so I had to change my opinion about him. But that was the last time I heard of him. Is there a special reason for his absence from the BCG?

I have no idea! The last thing I ever saw him on was the 'Carly Smallman' thread where he was forced to apologise for his comments by Mark. I personally don't see the point of having an internet-only persona which seems at odds with his real-life views, although there are clearly cross overs in certain political issues. Sigh, if I find it difficult to fathom people IRL I'm doubly stuck on t'internet....

Nah, he just takes a year's break every now and then. He'll be back.

I could be wrong about how tall RC is..

I think he's a UK standard height for blokes: 5ft 11in. It was hard to tell as I was seated most of the time.
