London pre- Christmas drinks.

by Hound of Harrow Fri Nov 08, 2013 7:50 pm

As has become traditional, the London area 606ers will be meeting up for a few festive snifters and discussing the AIs and the merits of pie!

Venue - Kings Arms, Roupell Street, Waterloo (this should make it easier for some members to get to and from).

Date - 20th November from 5pm.

We hope to see as many of you as possible.

Ale

by Hound of Harrow Sat Nov 09, 2013 12:02 am

Look forward to seeing you quins. CJ and yappy quite often turn up.

by yappysnap Sun Nov 10, 2013 9:29 am

And there I was just wondering when this would be occuring! I'll be there for sure Ok!

by Hound of Harrow Sun Nov 10, 2013 3:26 pm

Good stuff yappy. The more the merrier. Smile

by ChequeredJersey Sun Nov 10, 2013 9:01 pm

Might be able to make an appearance!

by quinsforever Sun Nov 10, 2013 11:00 pm

do you think we might be able to tempt GE down for a beer or two? nothing like a shared beer to soften everyone's edges.

by R!skysports Mon Nov 11, 2013 3:13 pm

there I go organizing a quite drink by myself to cry a little into beer and the Rugby boards take it over...

See you there Very Happy

by Hound of Harrow Mon Nov 11, 2013 3:50 pm

Risky.

I've tried to tempt ghost

down on several previous occasions, and I think he almost came close to accepting once - but in all honesty, would his malarkey be the same if we actually met the guy?

I will as usual be discussing pie Ale

by ChequeredJersey Mon Nov 11, 2013 5:23 pm

I will be there, probs can't stay too long (as usual) and I won't be there till 6 at the earliest, so probably 6.30 until about 8pm

by Hound of Harrow Mon Nov 11, 2013 5:55 pm

OzT is turning up too - I PMd him.

by Driver Mon Nov 11, 2013 8:29 pm

I'v always wanted to go too one of these, Damm geography!

by Cyril Mon Nov 11, 2013 9:32 pm

I'm down in London next week for work. Staying at a mate's near Regent's Park but may be able to pop in if I can swing it.

I'm sure I've been in that pub before, but not sure when.

That's a shame, Driver. They are usually a good laugh, and you don't get any of the wumming on here. Well, not much anyway Smile

Maybe we'll see you there Cyril.

Yeah, hope so, Hound. Would be good to put faces to names.

One day it would be good to get some of you north of the Watford Gap Smile

by Driver Mon Nov 11, 2013 10:05 pm

Hear Hear!

by Hound of Harrow Mon Nov 11, 2013 10:21 pm

I guess we're lucky down here in that we have a mix of nationalities to get an interesting discussion going, and a good transport system.

I think PenfroPete organised something similar for anyone living around Cardiff last year.

The HC final meet ups have been epic, with 30 or so 606ers meeting up for the weekend. Damn good craic, with everyone wearing their club shirts, and we raise some money for charity.

Really? 30? That's brilliant! Smile

What a great community there is here. Good on you for organising this stuff.

by Hound of Harrow Mon Nov 11, 2013 10:45 pm

Penfro organised the 2011 gig in Cardiff. AsLong and myself sorted out Twickenham in 2012 and Rava (no longer posts on 606) and RedStag sorted out Dublin this year.

We usually organise a private room and a buffet lunch. Just about everyone who were 'regulars' in the virtual pub, which has seen a drop off in contributors recently, turn up (many now keep in touch via other media). I expect most of the usual suspects will be in Cardiff next year.

by Driver Mon Nov 11, 2013 11:06 pm

Are you doing a HC one this year? Where's the final? I'd be well up for it.

by Cyril Mon Nov 11, 2013 11:27 pm

The final is in Cardiff (24th May).

by Hound of Harrow Tue Nov 12, 2013 2:26 am

by Hound of Harrow Tue Nov 12, 2013 2:28 am

I think Penfro is organising Cardiff next year. Me and my Wasps pal are staying in Bris and getting the train in from there. The hotels in S. Wales are asking crazy prices for that weekend.

by GloriousEmpire Tue Nov 12, 2013 8:00 pm

I'll bring my usual security in case anyone has taken offence. Or England win on the weekend and I say something daft.

by quinsforever Tue Nov 12, 2013 9:30 pm

LOL. will do you a deal - if somehow england do manage to win at the weekend (and i agree with the bookies 5:1 against odds at the mo, maybe worse without corbs) i'll make sure you dont have to reach into your pocket all evening.

Let me know where you are drinking the night before the HC final. Will try and join you for a beer. May see you on the train as well

Isn't it all just mist and dragons up there?

Well I have some money on England for political reasons. So sounds like I'll be doing well in that event.

by Poorfour Wed Nov 13, 2013 12:05 am

I should be able to make it, too.

by yappysnap Wed Nov 13, 2013 10:08 pm

So it's a Harlequins supporters meet with some others? Very Happy

by Hound of Harrow Wed Nov 13, 2013 10:42 pm

Sounds that way, yappy!

BD - unfortunately I'm only doing the day of the final this year. So it will be into Bris for about 10ish. Dump the gear at the Ibis TM, then get the train to the 'Diff.

On the Sunday we'll be hoping to get some brekky in a Wetherspoons, and (a big) maybe - a cab out to The Robin Hoods Retreat on the Glaws Road before returning to London.

by mystiroakey Thu Nov 14, 2013 12:43 am

Lol- shall I turn up!!

Maybe for one!!

by OzT Thu Nov 14, 2013 4:43 pm

Yip I'll be there, it''s on the way to Waterloo for me, so be rude not to pop in on the way home! Would it just be me standing on the corner outside having a smoko???

See you guys then!

No probs Hound - if fellow 606ers are meeting up before the final give us a shout where. Would be good to meet up. Or alternatively back in Bris after

by R!skysports Fri Nov 15, 2013 10:55 am

Do they do pies, or just stews with lids?

by littleswannygirl Fri Nov 15, 2013 10:04 pm

Make sure you hang your coat somewhere safe!

Every year I miss this. London pre- Christmas drinks. Smiley19

Have a few swallies on me. I like the Kings Arms.

We do spend a lot of time ensuring it clashes with your diary Wink

We try to do that with ASBO, but as he does nothing in real life he always turns up...

Hi guys, I will be there about 6, is that too early for others to be there? And if people are there how would I reconize you? I'll have a green jacket and a pork pie hat so if you see me wondering round say hi please!!

by R!skysports Wed Nov 20, 2013 12:55 pm

I will look very much like an older version of myself from 10 years ago - if that helps?

by quinsforever Wed Nov 20, 2013 1:47 pm

i'll be there around 6 too.

by ChequeredJersey Wed Nov 20, 2013 1:50 pm

Should be 6ish that I'm there

by R!skysports Wed Nov 20, 2013 1:55 pm

about 6.30

And after seeing the Scotland team, I will be the grumpy looking one...

After seeing just half the Scotland team, I will be embarking on oblivion in preparation for avoiding Saturday altogether

by mystiroakey Wed Nov 20, 2013 2:06 pm

I am still in 2 minds- I could go up to winter wonderland in hyde park and help my lads out on a job and then pop in for 1, or I could stay in the warmth of my home.

The later is going to happen, the weather is fiecked.

If i ever get more friendly with you lot maybe next year!!

by ChequeredJersey Wed Nov 20, 2013 2:11 pm

But meeting up would facilitate becoming more friendly...

by mystiroakey Wed Nov 20, 2013 2:26 pm

Then things might get overly friendly and I wont have anything to post in fear of hurting peoples feelings

by quinsforever Wed Nov 20, 2013 2:36 pm

thats why we're hoping GE still comes.
