I don't live in Londonia, but it's only a 40minute ride on the Choo Choo.

Depending on the date/time and if I'm on-call or not, I'd be up for it.

Can we do a friday? Then we don't have work in the morning :P

Otherwise Monday is fine :D

Who would be up for steak at the Bountiful Cow? we could book at table for after a few beers??

Sounds good. There are 'some' vegetarian options for Mr Smilo and co, but may not be enough. http://www.thebountifulcow.co.uk/bountiful_cow_website_3_003.htm


There's a good cheap Thai called Brown Sugar nearby

There's a lot of commute in between those three...if people want the Griff stay in Holborn, otherwise the first or second.

Personally Holborn or Russell Square area hits the mark.........

Make your choice people.

Sorry chaps I may have to bail too. :angry:

Kids have got something called 'slapped cheek' syndrome so are full of temperature, sore throats, upset stomachs etc (oh the joy).

Not heard of it before :blink: (although they often get 'slapped arse' syndrome :flirty:).

Anyway I'll know more later but if they're still bad tonight it'd be unfair to leave Mrs P tending the twins on her tod.
Title: dMw Xmas
Post by: Benny on December 14, 2009, 10:52:28 AM
I'll be there at about 6:10. Seems as good a place as any to meet.

I'm a little stuck baby6 sitter wise so may need to bail at about 10, but we'll see.

PM's going out now.
Title: dMw Xmas
Post by: smilodon on December 14, 2009, 11:00:09 AM
Sadly I'm out as well. I've family over at the moment. They were going home today but new plans mean they're staying another 24 hours and I'm playing host tonight.

Have a blast and enjoy all that filthy evil meat/flesh stuff.
Title: dMw Xmas
Post by: Benny on December 14, 2009, 11:37:32 AM
So, Zoot, me, Spud and Tut.

I know Tut was planning on coming in from Cambridge which seems a bit excessive for a gathering of 3 others.

Spud, not sure where you are coming in from......

I'd suggest that we scheduled something new year for a group cheer up during the suicide month of January.

In the interim, I'll still be at the 'Cow' at 6pm for a couple of pints and a slice of flesh.
Title: dMw Xmas
Post by: Tutonic on December 14, 2009, 11:46:34 AM
To be honest, I'd rather save my Ã,£20 and come down in the new year for a bigger gathering...

I'm on holiday from the 5th to 16th, but apart from that any time is good really.
Title: dMw Xmas

Sorry about bailing. I hate not being able to do things I say I will - goes totally against the grain.

January sounds good :D

Just polishing off a McDonalds breakfast, thought I'd share. That burger did a good job. I can certainly say I'm not clogged up as it made it's way through my system at 5:50 this morning. There was no stopping it!

The last time I went clubbing was about 13 years ago in club Kenetic, Stoke. Sweat was dripping from the roof, people wore bright yellow tops and there wasn't any beer for sale.

Never again!

Comfy seat and a pint of real ale for me please!
