CAP 2008 Photos
As promised below are some shots from the Pre Cap Party, I am sorry some of them are not the best images, I had to run screen grabs.
There are loads of pics on the Hollywood Affiliates website, but I picked out the ones of the people i know in the industry, plus the pretty girls obviously. 
Me and young Mockford, worrying drop of the hand from Berrisford

And last but not least J Lil, looking happy as Larry (why Larry the benchmark for happyness I will never know).

Aha, not as stupid as people think I am, I can tell you why Larry is the benchmark. There are two commonly repeated contenders for the derivation. One is that it refers to the Australian boxer Larry Foley (1847 - 1917). Foley was a successful boxer who never lost a fight. He retired at 32 and collected a purse of £1,000 for his final fight. So, we can expect that he was known to be happy with his lot in the 1870s - just when the phrase is first cited.
The alternative explanation is that it relates to the Cornish and later Australian/New Zealand slang term ‘larrikin’, meaning a rough type or hooligan, i.e. one predisposed to larking about. ‘Larrikin’ would have been a term that Meredith would have known. The earliest citation of that is also from New Zealand and also around the time of the first citation, in H. W. Harper’s Letters from New Zealand, 1868:
“We are beset with larrikins, who lurk about in the darkness and deliver every sort of attack on the walls and roof with stones and sticks.”
