London pre- Christmas drinks.
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.

Re: London pre- Christmas drinks.
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.

I've tried to tempt 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?quinsforever wrote: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.
I will as usual be discussing pie

Re: London pre- Christmas drinks.
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 anywayDriver wrote:I'v always wanted to go too one of these, Damm geography!
Maybe we'll see you there Cyril.

Re: London pre- Christmas drinks.
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!Hound of Harrow wrote: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.
What a great community there is here. Good on you for organising this stuff.

Re: London pre- Christmas drinks.
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.

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

Re: London pre- Christmas drinks.
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.

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

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.

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

Re: London pre- Christmas drinks.
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.

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 afterHound of Harrow wrote:Sounds that way, yappy!

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

Re: London pre- Christmas drinks.
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!!
